Need help with a 701(cigar), little to no vapor!

[butterbean03]

I have a 701 (cigar), think it is a 701 (has chinese writing on it), bought it about a year ago and am getting little to no vapor. I am pulling it back out to use and would like to know if there is a fix for it. I was told the atty runs too cold. Would a custom built LR atty work and if so can somebody on here do that? Just ordered new 10440's for it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I am surprised no one had responded.......

Are we not here to learn and help those with what we have.

I would start with checking the resistance and then perhaps a need for cleaning. I don't own one so I have no idea what readings to look for. Perhaps a replacement Atomized cartridge might me in order. Did a quick search and found these.

Can't vouch for the vendor (a new one on me) Seems the Origianl unit may have been made by DSE?

Hope this helps

Here's a US Supplier that might be able to help

Well, I have 2 DSE701's......yes.they do run cold.
I dont have the exact link but I think it was by RJG?
If you cant find it, PM me.
It has a total teardown of it. I used it as my guide.

If you look at the begining of this section I have a tutorial on making a new coil.

Once its torn down, coils can be made and replaced fairly easily with a little practice.

The low vapor production is usually from 2 things, poor battery voltage, or a carboned up atty coil. The second being the problem I found with both mine.
I've since replaced mine many times. 2.5 ohms seems to be nice up to 3 ohms.
With an auto draw switch, you want it to heat pretty fast.
Higher ohms and slow initial heat promotes gunk and then a long hot draw carbons the residuals.

If you read reviews on the DSE701, this seems to be a common problem. Once you take it apart, its not a bad unit at all to repair and keep going.

Thanks much guys for responding. After I bought it, found out the atomizer runs cold. Waiting for new batteries.

Will check out the tutorials on rebuilding. I am a do-it-yourself guy. As an ex aircraft mechanic and plumber, there's not much I can't do.

Thanks again guys for responding.

Better late than never? Some fun you can have with your cigar:
