Need help identifying an e-Cig model:

[BanjoMan]

Hey everyone - new poster here...

Before I discovered this wonderful place I spent some time on amazon reading the reviews on different models and decided on two for my wife and I to try: a DSE901 and a 2-piece kit by "e health cigarettes" from e cig hawaii. I like both units fine, but when I asked the lady at ecighawaii about replacement batteries and atomizers for the e health unit she said that the model was so new that the manufacturer was using all available parts for the complete kits right now.

After searching through the forums here for two days I suspect it might be a rebranded M403, but I notice some subtle differences in the atomizer units. The package itself and the short instuction sheet that came with it don't give a clue as to the manufacturer. I plan on ordering an M403 soon so I can compare the two, but I wondered if anyone here had a more educated opinion as to what the "e health" might be.

Thanks for your help and time.

I would like to know what model the e-health ones are too. You can get a kit ridiculously cheap at amazon, and by ridiculously cheap I mean around $12. If this was a good known model that would be a fabulous way to get it as a starter.

If you are talking about the e-health in the green and white cigarette looking pack with the wall charger, they are 10 bucks on Deal Extreme and not worth your time or money. The threads are the same size as the 401/2/3, but they are not the same unit.

I can't post url's here yet but punch in ecighawaii and .biz to see the unit I'm talking about. It's the only one they sell. The one you're looking at on amazon may be discontinued - the one I bought was advertised as a "high quality 2-piece kit".

 

[julianka]

But if the threads are the same as the M series, does that mean parts are compatible?

And you're in NC, Why didn't you just get a real 401 from My Freedom Smokes? I guess if you have ordered it already it doesn't matter. Go ahead and order yourself a 401 and a couple of extra atomizers. They will probably work on it if you really want them too after you get the 401. Best of luck.

 

[BanjoMan]

One is advertised as a "Health E-Cigarette", the other as an "E-Health Cigarette". Confusing I know...

Being a noob and an amazon junkie I jumped before I checked out any sites like this one. Luckily the two units I got work well so it's not a total waste.

Think I'm going to go for the M403. I like the smaller size.

Thanks

My first e-cig was ordered from e-cig hawaii, ultimately I got the new improved model. I originally ordered thru Amazon, but somehow the vendor didn't get the order. I emailed her (Constance) and she made it good right away, throwing in some extras. She was absolutely great to do business with.

The e-cig she sells, ummm.... not so good. It's very similiar to my EVO 401, and I can use the chargers from it for my EVO. The parts are not so interchangeable. The attys and batts don't quite match. The attys on the hawaii models appear to be extremely well made and do well with dripping. The carts are very similiar to the EVO with the little insert in the mouthpiece. I'm going to try to refill the carts one of these days and see how it works. Overall the hawaii models appear to be very well made, but I'll stick with my TECC Titan 510, my DSE901 and my now favorite-the EVO.

The Blu threads match the 510.
The Blu atomizer works on teh 510, but I blew my Blu battery by plugging it into the 510 charger.

Save yourselves some time, money and irritation, buy a 510 or a Vapor King

This is the Health E-Cigarette that I got, its a peice of junk

Wrecktangle you've made me curious now so I'll be taking one of the filters apart later to see what it's made of. They come with a piece of aluminum foil that has to be pierced by the atomizer to be used. I have to believe whatever's in there can be replaced with poly and refilled...

I'm sure these won't be my last two units, but so far my wife loves the hawaii e-cig. It draws easy and puts out plenty of vapor. Battery life is good, too. When I first got my DSE901 I wasn't thrilled with the length or the tiparillo style filter, but it's growing on me.

 

[wrecktangle]

Banjoman, the easiest way to take those carts apart, is on the end you put in your mouth, take a paper clip and pull off the little one holed end. Take the paper clip and push it into one of the holes. This will push the inner cart out. You'll see the transparent inner cart, remove the foil and that tough plastic overcovering. Pull out the little bit of wool, give it a good rinse under water, dry it all. Replace the wool ( or use your own fluval or polyester), fill with your favorite juice, put it all back together, and you should be good to go.

Alternately, just take a pair of good tweezers, reach in the open end, grab hold of the inner cart, give a good twist and pull out.

And just for clarification, there's the e-health cig and the health-e cig. I think they're two different manufacturers. The e-health cig seems like a quality product, well made, and the atty looks like it's built to last.

Wrecktangle... thanks for the tips. I've been lurking around here a few days and saw a youtube video here about packing your own poly. I have a JoAnn's just up the road so I'm going to stop in and see if they have any.

On a different note, I'm starting to realize that collecting e-cigs is going to start a whole new addiction for me (hehe). Any tips on keeping all the spare parts and chargers getting mixed up? Right now I'm thinking "tackle box" but I'm open for suggestions....

Thanks again

Catwoman19: Already checked out the 510 online and will probably end up with one of those, also. Hey... everybody needs spares, right?

 

[catwoman19]

Another suggestion, I bought a little $6 takle box and it keeps everything compartmentalized, carts, attys, batts, and juices, plus chargers

 

[BanjoMan]

Added to shopping list: Tackle box and label maker...

Blu/510 and M40x are not even the same sex - that atomizer compat chart is bs on that

I have 510 and M40x models - nothing whatsoever alike. Not the same size barrel, not the same width threads, not the same gender, just totally different

M40x are skinny little things, about as thick as a Marlboro with teensy push-up juice cup
