I need a RELIABLE place to purchase DSE-901 kit from for my Mother

So far I've tried like 4 or 5 vendors, and I wont' name names, but so far its been alot of drama, especially with batteries dying. One even expected me to cover shipping to send back bad batteries instead of sending me a pre-paid envelope, jeez, where do these people learn business principles from?

Anyway, I was doing great and then fell off the wagon when all this drama happened and ALL 3 of my batteries started to fail...no biggie, I'll get back on track again, but there's no way in hell my Mother will have the patience for that kind of drama


What I'm looking for is a RELIABLE vendor that I can buy the dse-901 starter kit from along with a ton of pre-filled carts (she will not have the patience for refilling/dripping/etc, it'll probably just drive her to smoke more...preferably ones that carry the real dse-901 and not the ones that have "mini-cig" written on the atomizer as I seem to have had horrible luck with those

I'm sure lots of people had similar and/or even worse experiences than I have, so I ask you to share any info on a reliable vendor I could use that actually has stock as I'm sure you've been in this boat as well and have had to do some searching before you found someone you wanted to stick with as far as e-cigg supplies

Thanks for reading

I can recommend both of these suppliers. I would suggest you consider buying the manual switch 901 batteries over the auto switch type. Manual switch batteries are much more reliable and don't fail nearly as often as the auto switch type.

It's got SLB stamped on the inside, that means that it is an authentic 901, not generic. I can't speak of the generic vs authentic thing, as this is my first and only one.

Ahh I see, thanks. Everything I've gotten from Ruyan (I use 801s) has SLB stamped on it. I think the old stuff you're thinking of was the 40XX (like 4072) stuff, with lower bridges. They were "real" too, just a different manufacturer down the street from the SLB manufacturer, as I understand it.

Just curious what you mean by "real". They all come from the same factory, so does paying a middle man a good sized mark up make it any better?


Hey Babachoo, both Sailebao and First Union make a similar product. If you just held one of each in your hand you would think they were the same. The "true" 901 is made by Sailebao and has the letters SLB stamped on the battery connection.

So no, its not the evil middle men in this case.

and No I dont sell nor plan to sell the DSE.

But i would deal with Runyan Direct for hard parts on a 901 or a Kit. I have tried 3 dealers for batteries, same sad story. You might try looking for KR-808 batteries, i have them from my Vapor King and they WORK AWESOME on my 901 atomizers and carts, Last 4 to 5 hours on a single charge. Till my Prodigy gets here,thats all i got, unless i steal my gf's Janty Stick:D

Ahh ok so Sailebao is the company who started the DSE's and FU just cloned them, thanks for the info. I knew that they both were in China but wasn't sure the names of the factories. And middlemen aren't "evil", they're just (in the case of ecigs) trying to make a buck, but going about it all wrong in most cases by offering the exact same products just repackaged, marking them up too high, and eliminating the 1 year warranty you could get if you got them from Chinese suppliers like Ruyan. Personally, I would buy from a U.S. supplier instead of Ruyan IF the cost was the same, the warranty was the same, and the customer service was the same. But so far I have yet to see any U.S. supplier meet or beat Wayne on any of those three points, unfortunately. Maybe the local guys will one day figure out how to broker deals like the Chinese suppliers are able to do, and will be able to compete with the global market and earn more customers, I'm certainly open to it.

This man is absolutely correct.

Once you get used to using them, the manual switch batteries are absolutely brilliant. Screw autoswitches...they're a failure waiting to happen.
