Need help with DSE901 mini

[jamnjam]

Hi everyone,

My name is Anne and I just received my first ecig today, a dse901 mini. I like it but I'm having a problem changing the cartridge/mouthpiece. It fits so tight I could barely get the empty one off and another on. Now I want to change it again to drip some liquid but I can't get it off. Before I go grab some pliers, can anyone help me come up with an easier way to get the flat-type cartridge off?

Thanks for your help,

Anne with wimpy hands!

I've got three of those DSE901s...to tell you the truth I've never had that problem especially with a prefilled cartridge.

Are you sure you've got the right cartridges for it?
Are they the ones that came with it?...and you're just refilling them.

They came with the kit. I had a heck of a time getting the empty "packing" cartridge off the spare atomizer I bought, and one was a sample tobacco cartridge that came with the kit. I bought a box of empty cartridges and have one of those on it now. I can barely even turn it. ):

I had that problem with my first 901 atomizer. Best thing to do is twist it as you pull it out. Since that first atomizer I have not had that problem again. Actually, lately all of my carts are a bit loose...

I vaguely remember seeing a youtube video where someone kind of "jiggled" or "rocked" the cartridge off rather than just twisting or pulling. I just tried it and it came off. Wow, it's tight! Maybe it's just this atomizer??? Anne

If you wipe a thin layer of vasoline around the edge of the cartridge it will not only seal it better but it will pull of easy too.

I want you all to know, this is all news to me. I admit, I've got one atomizer over here some of the cartridges seem loose on--the rest are just right. Futher, I don't have a good answer for any of you.

I'd like to finish, saying, this tells me the company manufacturing these things haven't the quality control they should have. I mean, all of the attys for your 901 should have the exact same diameter and so should the cartridges fitting them. There are only two reasons I can think of for them not.

1. Somebody isn't watching the automatic machines enough (keeping their parimeters accurate).
2. Somebody is 'high speeding' their maufacture.

I guess I could add a third reason--it got dropped at the factory or enroute.

Beats me people.

Hmmmm, vasoline.....that's an idea, THANKS!

Hey everyone,

Thanks for responding and for your suggestions. I got a new atomizer today and guess what, all the same cartridges I had trouble with yesterday work fine on it. So it seems my first atomizer (a platinum) was made a hair too big. Since I know it won't work forever, I'll make do with it but I'm glad to have resolved the problem. Thanks again for your help.

You got it right with rocking... and try the various cartridges you have on the trouble some atty - some may fit better. I'd take a fingernail file to the cartridge part that goes in the atty before using petroleum jelly but that's just me.

 

[jamnjam]

oops, I mean one of the atomizers was a tad too small.

Note to self;

Fingernail file for the ones too tight.
Lip balm for the ones too loose (just a little, up hear the top of the cartridge so the heat won't get at it.)

You can add this one too
