That Phil at Esmokeytreats is awesome! I ordered on Thurday and got my kit by 8am today. Thats Calif to NDak, PDQ! Couple of questions, seems like the cart I put on fit aweful loose, if I hold it up by the mouth piece the battery and atty would fall off, normal or not? Should I have to clean the atty already tonight?
I have smoked Old Golds except for a 2yr stint with Kools, for 37yrs. Today I charged a battery, put a med cart on and practiced in the mirror. I caught one heck of a buzz! Got some juice on my hand it itched like hell. Love this dse901. For the first time in 37yrs I do not crave an anolog, I'm still dumbfounded, this could be my lifesaver. Thanks for all your help and info. Gonna go watch Spikey's video again. LOL Maybe I retain alittle more of it this time. dawnlori:D

i smoked newport for years 1-11/2 packs a day and 11mg nic juice seems to work fine for me,you will notice some carts fit tighter than others,ive never gotten the itching feeling from juice on my skin.....it could be a reaction to the pg maybe you should use vg....spikey should know more about that as i believe she has to use vg

Quick question, then I set my 901 down does it matter cart end up, laying down flat, led end up?

I'd like to hear that one too! I just assumed that I would lay it down horizontally until I vaped again; but we know what happens when one assumes....:p

I also ordered from Phil on Thursday and was so excited when it arrived today! I read somewhere that battery charge should be at least 8 hours before using for the first time, so I have the first one in the charger now and I'm looking forward to tomorrow and being analog free all day!

Gosh, never thought about that. Hope I'm not allergic, I ordered a bottle of PG and its on its way, live and learn I guess, someone can use it. Quick question, then I set my 901 down does it matter cart end up, laying down flat, led end up?
i read somewere its better to have led down so i just stick mine in my shirt pocket that way

To get the cart to fit tighter when they get loose, take a straight pin, heat up the tip with a lighter or at the stove and then run it over the part of the cart that fits in the atty. It will fit nice and tight after that.

I clean my attys about once a week. Each time you clean them, drip some juice on them when you first use them again.

Good Morning and Thanks! The 2nd cart I used fit snug so I see what the difference is. So far so good. I'm very happy with the whole experience. I read that alot of folks have had weird side effects, dizzy, spacey can't concentrate, etc. I'm like that all the time so it's no big deal LOL, no, really, I did get kind of a strange buzz but attributed it to inexperience. I haven't heard about any serious sides to worry about yet, are there any real stand out bad ones to watch for? Guess this is one area that I didn't research.

I first started with 16mg and found it too light and now use 24mg. My goal is to reduce my nic strength over time but that will probably take 6 months to a year. I have had no real side effects. With a fresh cart and new battery (remember I use the screwdriver), I occassionally get a slight buzz and if I was vaping a lot in a short period of time I got a slight head ache but that hasn't happened for a least a month, now. I think your body has to adjust to not using analogs (which is what causes most of the initial negative side affects IMO) and learning how to vape. Now that I have my SD and have set up a ritual of how I vape, I don't have any problems. You need to give yourself about a month, IMO, to make the transition.

I couldn't find a tobacco flavor I liked until I tried Kent flavor from EastMall.net. Since you use to use Old Gold, you might want to try Kent. It has a smooth taste to me.

Done did it, thanks WV, I just ordered from Eastmall. Says the Chinese holiday will be over tomorrow so hopefully it will get shipped right away and make it past 'black Tuesday' Would really suck for me to get started on this and have it go to #@%$ just when I'm gettin into it. I'm sure everyone is in the same boat. I've been trying to figure out what extras I should have on hand just in case. Thanks for your help, dawnlori

No problem. You will need extra atomizers, juice and probably batteries.
