I think this call for a moment of ECF silence. :cry: My pipe was the device that got me of the dreaded analogues for good. Luckily my EM replacement atty bowl should be here in the next week. So it lasted for 72 Days of real hard labour. It was used as my primary device, with a 901 pass-through and Trog Screwdriver as a backup. She will be missed dearly, and the contribution to my life that she made was life changing.:cry: I wrote a review on the DSE601 only this morning, with not knowing that her time was so close. Maybe if I get my replacement atty bowl, I must consider not using it as my primary all day pacifier. I know some other guys got longer life from their attys, by I suspect they did not use it as regularly as I did.

In memory of my lost DSE601 atty, here is the review that I did for it: :cry:

The DSE601 can be considered as my primary PV. I do have a few, but the DSE601 is always with me, while the others I alternate.
I find that the throat hit and vapour production is truly satisfying. It is this PV that got me off the dreaded analogues for good.

I am a heavy vapour, and the cart and battery lasts me around 8 hours. I use a PV as a Pacifier.
This PV is awesome for vaping and driving. No need to drip or fill up anything for 8 hours. Just vape away.

The device is a bit bulky, but I have no problem dropping it into my pants pocket.

The only big issue around this device which is a known fact is that the atty is part of the bowl. If the atty goes, the complete bowl needs to be replaced. So far, my first atty has been lasting for three months, and still performs as the day that I got it. I do follow a daily cleaning process of blowing out the bowl (atty) removing the battery and storing it overnight so that the excess juice can be drained from the atty before going to bed. The built in atty cleaning feature I also use around every three to four days.

This device will always remain one of my favourites, because of the little hassle involved in vaping it, and the satisfaction factor.

Pros:
The device produces awesome throat hit and awesome amounts of vapour. Truly satisfying.
The battery and cart life on this device is outstanding, and as a driving device it is perfect.
Although the atty is part of the bowl, if properly maintained, the atty life on this device is outstanding.

Cons:
Needs daily cleaning and storing process. (Not necessary a con, since in actual fact, with heavy use, all attys needs to be cleaned daily, and it is good practice to remove batteries from devices when not in use).
Heavy on Juice, since the cart hold 2.62ml of juice. (But remember I am a heavy vapour).
When the battery is low and the light flashes, you can not see it if you are outside in the daylight. (If you have been vaping for long enough, you would not need a light to tell you when you battery is low anymore).

All in all, still one of my favourite devices (It keeps the vapour coming). Just buy a backup atty, and it is the perfect PV.:rolleyes:

:(Sad ... sad ... but what a long productive life ...
:evil:Dont worry EM is gonna shock you with a delivery sooooon...
And more :shock:

Thanks riche for the condolences. I was really feeling left out until adrianx showed some compassion. :(

My shipment from the awesome East Mall will be here tomorrow, with a DSE601 E-Pipe replacement atty. :D
I placed my order on Friday the 2nd of April after close of business. The Monday was a bank holiday in China as well as here by us. The package will be arriving on my doorstep tomorrow on the 14th of April. East Mall absolutely Rocks. The lady, who phoned my wife to arrange a delivery time, did say that they had difficulty getting it trough customs. :confused: That gives you a total of 7 working days to get the delevery here. It is almost better than having a local store.

Now it is just waiting for the Titanium Indulgence. :D Then it is import time again. :D:D

Thanks riche and gavin for getting my attention to East Mall.:thumbs:

So did the EM order arrive to replace your dearly departed.
:D

Yes they did indeed, so my dearly departed is back. In a way. :rolleyes: I got a replacement bowl. But it leaks quite a lot of juice. :mad: When I had my other one, I always read on the forum about guys having leakage and draining problems, and I thought they where a bit finicky. :| It turns out, it is all about luck. Sometimes it seems you get these bad ones that leak all over the show. :evil:

My dead one, I use to carry in my pants pocket all day without any issues. This one I did the same with today and it leaked into the bowl, and onto the battery. :mad: The battery also got wet, and I hardly used it, and the battery was flat. I think the battery was flat because it shorts with the wetness and then runs the battery flat. :mad:

A buddy of mine bought one about two weeks ago within an order we did together. It turns out he has a lucky one as well. So it seems it is all bout luck. 8-o I opened my dead one up, and saw that between the atty and the switch there is a silicone condom like seal. My suspicion is that this seal on the new one is not properly fitted, but you can not get to it, because it is a closed unit. :oops:

So all in all, it is kind of back. Still miss the old one though. The delivery from EM is absolutely awesome. :D I calculated that between all the holidays, Easter and following weekend, it took them seven days to deliver. :shock: I got some juice from them also. The juice I also think is really good quality. :w00t:

:cool:Tell me what you think of the coffee ??

Weird, as I am vaping on the coffee, I open this thread. :shock: I really like it. Not sweet, not bitter either. Just right. What I do like also is the Peanut Butter. :w00t: I thought it was going to be sweet, but it tastes like peanuts. It rocks. Once I financially recover, I am going to get more Coffee and Peanut Butter. :D:D

Belated condolences for the death of your pipe, sounds like it had a good innings though. I like eastmalls coffee as well, never thought of trying peanut butter, I'll give it a shot next order, I also want to try the different tobacco flavours. The ry4 they sold me was the strongest tasting liquid I ever had and I hated it at first, thought my cartridge was burning, but then I used it in a 510 with a bit of mint and it really was a lot loke smoking.

I have now ordered Juices from TW UK, HG China, and EM China as well as locally bought and locally ordered via internet. :( It is difficult to do a true comparison, because I ordered various flavors from all over, and did not stick to one. My take on it is that the imported stuff is just better. I know all our locally supplied stuff is imported, but I sometimes wonder if it does not get diluted somewhere along the line or something. :confused: The imported stuff just had much better flavor and TH. TW Marlboro is not bad either. It is just expensive getting it from the UK. 8-o

This time I got from EM,
RY4 (Taste the same as the RY4 from HG) not bad, but an acquired taste (for me in any case). :rolleyes:
Coffee. Very nice, not sweet, but a nice Coffee taste.:D
Coca Cola. Taste like the Wilson Toffee Cola.:rolleyes:
Marlboro USA Mix. Nice, also nutty kind of a taste.:D
Peanut Butter. My favorite in this batch. Tastes like Peanuts. No Butter taste.:D

I prefer to swap between sweet and non sweet tastes. And I think I have weird taste buds. When I started with the HG RY4, I thought that it was a bit sweet, but I got use to it, and started liking it. After a week, I was a bit tired of it, so I had to swap again. :(
So for me it is kind of a flavor of the day thing. I must say at the moment I am a bit tired of sweet stuff and thus prefer the Coffee and Peanut Butter. :D I must say again. the shipping from EM Rocks.:D:D:D
