This is the newest edition to the 901 style of vaporizers. At only 118mm, TheVX2 is designed to rival other such units as the joye510, dura, titan etc. The batteries have upgraded with a better switch, more life, more consistency. The Cartridges hold double that of a normal 901 cart.

The VX2 set includes following components:
1 electronic atomizer
2 lithium batteries
5 free cartridges

1 English Instruction manual
14 Day Warranty on all parts.

To add to the confusion (or maybe I am confused)...

I just got 4 new 901 "SLB" kits from 2 different suppliers on top of 2 "first union" kits from a third supplier. The 4 "SLB" models are stamped inside the atomizer and the battery. The battery has a dual colored LED that flashes all the warnings in orange regardless of the color of the LED in normal operation (e.g. blue). They also have the hole and work on suction (not a mic switch).
2 of the kits I got from a supplier that seemed to just get them in stock late April or early May.

Is this the newest 901 by "SLB" (perhaps even newer then the 901's with the mic switch)?

These 901's work way better then the 2 others I received that are "first union".
The "SLB" I have seem to have the latest atomizer (longer wick/bridge) and the batteries seem to have the latest technology (e.g. dual colored LED, 2mm shorter, but no mic switch thankfully).

So what do I have? They work awesome and I hope when new inventory comes in this is what will be out there from the suppliers that carry "SLB".

I am thinking the latest batch went back to a suction switch, but with the latest motorola processor???

Litecigusa has the "new" DSE901. They are calling it the VX2. I don't know if they have just the atomizers or not.

Even more confused as these look completely different then the two I had seen. The atomizers appear to have a threaded male end rather than the standard female of the DSE901. Additionally the cartridge seems just like the DSE901.

Is the new one called the 901b?

BTW. I agree with Houdini on preferring the RN4075 over the DSE901. But, like he mentioned, it's a personal preference thing.

I do not think you would say this if you tried the latest "SLB" 901's that I received.

The threads are the same as all others, BTW. I did not get mine form litecig, but their description sound like what I have. I have used them side by side with the "first union" and I can't even use my "first union" as a backup because I get about 1/2 the performance from the atomizer (i.e. vapor) and batteries (well one of the first union batteries only made one charge cycle and is dead and the newest SLB seem to last longer).

The carts that came with the SLB hold tons of juice and there is a very easy draw compared to the "first union".

I am thinking I got lucky and picked these up at the right time from the right suppliers (being a noob to all this)... I am loving this new "SLB" all around and NO complaints thus far....

GLOCK any chance you can post a couple of pic's of the SLB atomizers and SLB carts?

I'd be very interested in seeing the difference. Also, is there any way to see if you can see a red glow when the atomizer is atomizing? (If there is no manual switch, or if you are not using a Screwdriver or similar model, then I don't think you'd be able to see inside when it is working.) Thanks, in advance!

In that picture I posted above, the one on the right is the "SLB".
Here's the other side of it.

The cartridge that came with it is here on the left. The one on the right came with the 4075 atomizer.

Here is the 4075 on the ScrewDriver. There was no use taking a picture of the "SLB" on the ScrewDriver because it did not glow at all.

Having the wick higher won't mean you don't have to top off as much. It still uses the same cartridge.

Actually, there are two atomizer-specific cartridges: one for the "original" DSE 901, and one for the the 4075, although the suppliers never bother explaining that. The 901 cartridge is shorter, one piece, totally black and meets the higher bridge, while the 4075 cart is slightly longer, has a brown extension, and meets the lower bridge. You can also tell the difference in the thickness of the mouthpiece -- look at the carts on Totally Wicked's website -- those are for the 4075 (the atomizers they sell are 4075's). The mouthpiece is slightly thicker, and has a hole instead of the slit of the original 901 mouthpiece.

All I can tell you for sure, is that if you buy carts from TW, or Heaven Gifts/Ruyan, for the 901/4075, you are buying 4075 carts. If you buy carts from Best E-Cig or AltSmoke, you are buying the shorter carts for the original 901.

I have the "original" 901 that I bought from AltSmoke -- he sells the shorter 901 carts to match, as does Best E-Cig.

I also have a ScrewDriver, which comes with the the (recommended) 4075 atomizer and carts and I buy carts for that from either TW or Ruyan/Heaven Gifts, since Trog doesn't sell parts.

It's just a mm or two difference -- but it does make a difference.

I am so confused. Could you take a moment and answer a few questions for me:

1. What is a mic switch? What are the advantages/disadvantages of having one?

2. What if we use a 4075 (longer) cartridge with a 901 (higher bridge) atomizer? Will it cause a problem?

3. What is we use a 901 (shorter) cartridge with a 4075 (lower bridge) atomizer? Will it produce less vapor than a 4075 cartridge with a 4075 atomizer?

4. Is there a difference in the working life of the "new" 901 atomizer vs. the "old" 901 atomizer vs. the 4075 atomizer?

5. Does the "new" 901 feature a better (i.e., better energy production & longer working life) battery than the "old" 901 and/or the 4075?

I know there are two different cartridges. I posted the pictures of them right above your post. I guess what I meant when I said it won't save from dripping more is that they both hold the same amount of juice.
They both work with a SLB atomizer and they both work with the 4075.

Those pics above are pretty much it.

My atomizer does not have the datet but rather an "SLB BD " and some sort of (hard to make out without a magnifying glass) number like "36785"... I don't have a screwdriver, but I could probably find a way. I remember having the tip off on the NON SLB and puff the atomizer and it lit up. I briefly tried this once with the SLB and again just now and did not notice it turn red hot...

I find the SLB seems to flow a lot smoother, produce more vapor and seems to last all day at work on one cart. The non SLB seemed to taste kind of burnt while not producing as much vapor and I was constantly topping off. I much prefer these latest 2009 SLB's (again my batteries seem to have an even newer switch operated by pressure not sound or sealed, but more reliable with better processor then the older batteries with pressure switch, motorola still, I think).

So I think these latest models went back to the pressure switch. Also, the battery is about 2mm shorter then the first union batteries. I read this was extra space at the LED that allowed this. Makes sense as the LED is brighter then the first union batteries.

I have 6 of the SLB batteries and 2 of the first union in circulation (1 other first union died first cycle which I believe was the switch and the eight is being returned with that kit). I was thinking the SLB atomizes better because the battery seems better (e.g. more power or battery juice to atomize the juice, haha). But, after reading about the newer atomizer, etc. perhaps some of the extra vape and is as a reult of the new atomizer too.

Just my experience, but my wife agrees way more vapor and smoother flow and only uses her SLB after I gave that one to her. The only first union we have she has and has not gone back to.

The flow is smoother through the atomizer, I believe. Yes, the tip help some too, but even the first union tips flow better on the SLB then on the first union atomizer and seem to hold much more juice...

The newest SLB (if that is what I have) seem to be better quality overall, atomizer, battery, vape, taste, reliability, build, alignment, etc. so far. Granted I have only been vaping on them for about a week...

It is my opinion/experience comparing side by side that the newest SLB cart and the atomizer both hold more juice and flows better (e.g. much easier drag) then the first union / 4075 cart and atomizer.

Yeah, I can edit my posts now and post links, just reached 15 posts, haha

Ok, I'm not trying to get off subject or go all psychedelic. But does anyone else see what resembles a boy and girl in the glow on Houdini's photo? (Is it just my overactive imagination?)...nice illusion Houdini



Back on subject - I have both a DSE 901 and a 4075. I have found that both models are completely interchangeable from the carts to the batteries and chargers.. Personally I prefer using the RN cart I think it vapes easier and stronger.


Here is another thread regarding that 2009/901 model I believe the OP was referring to...
