new and wondering what I have

[angied]

Hi,
My name is Angie and I am new to this forum as well as e-cigs. My parents bought me a starter kit a cpl of days ago and I am thrilled to be trying it. But I have been doing some research on here trying to learn things but I really have no idea what kind I have. The only thing in the box says "Mini E-Cig" I dont mean to sound silly but, there are different models right? So how do I know what I have, for things like replacement parts and such? I am hopefully attatching a pic ( sorry not the best, its from my phone) I am hoping someone can help me out

Well apparently I cant post a pic yet

Thanks ever soo much

Angie

Hi Angie,
Welcome to the forum! Yeah, without seeing a pic of your ecig it's hard to say. Does your ecig use cartridges or cartomizers? A cartridge would just hold filler, a cartomizer has a filler and "atomizer" all in one. That might narrow it down a bit.

You might also check out this link:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ping-illustrated-guide-e-cigs-part-1-6-a.html

There's a LOT of info out there. It can sometimes seem overwhelming. But once you've narrowed down what type of device you have, things will get easier.

Again, welcome to the forum!

does it look like this.. Mini Cigarette Style :: Starter Kits :: Starter Kit (401) - White - Electronic Cigarette Store

 

[angied]

Ohhh Lab, I think that may be it!! The end part (cartomizer??) is just white though, does that matter?

 

[angied]

OSO thanks for the link and the welcome

Most of the one's I've seen with Mini Ecig on it were 901's. Like this.

[angied]

Thanks for everyones help so far though

 

[DerekPGH]

Where did your parents purchase it at? Mall Kiosk? Internet?

 

[angied]

Buddy, it was a local cig shop, I called and they were NO help the only thing the could tell me was it was a mini??? I may try back later and see if I get someone else, who knows they may know.

Welcome to the forums, you will find a ton of information here and friendly people to help.
How about posting a pic else where and then putting the link here, with (dot) between it. Maybe that way we could see what it is and help you better. Just a thought.

Good luck.

 

[angied]

Ohh Denise that is a good idea, now lets see if I can do this right...

Ok if you add the the w's and the dot to the beginning of that you should hopefully get to see the pic

The M40X series of e-cigs has an exposed atomizer, (when you pull off the cart you have a wire mesh bump sticking out, and the cart goes outside of the attomizer.)



M401, M402, M403 attomizer


M401, M402, M403 Battery connector


The 901 series atomizer is resesed into a tube that the cart slides into.
Inside of the DSE901


DSE901 Battery connector (DSE901 adapter threaded into a Joye510 batt)



DSE901 Attomizer


Hope that helps

 

[KarrMcDebt]

Looks like a M40X model. Does the attomizer look like my first picture when you take the cart off?

 

[angied]

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for all your help

Second it looks like the M401, M402, M403 Battery connector.

Would it help if I took another pic?

 

[KarrMcDebt]

Does the atomizer look like the top pic when you take the cart off? (but still have the atty attached to the battery)

If so its probaby a M401, if not you'll need to take another picture of the part of the atty that gets hot. (Happen to have a set of calipers? measurements could solve this problem quickly.)

 

[angied]

Karr, how do I take that off? It is only 2 pieces,...I will ask hubby if he has a set of calipers. I will post back later, again thanks sooo much and sorry to be a pain right off the bat

 

[Thornbyrd]

If its only 2 pieces it sounds like it uses cartomizers not carts. The atty is actually built right into the cartomizer so you might not want to go taking it apart until you've had a chance to read a little more here on the forum.

I'm sorry I can't help you with model, currently I have 2 models the 510 and the janty stick which both use carts. I'm not familiar with the cartomizer models but I'm sure someone will be able to help you soon.

General rule of thumb is if its 3 parts your dealing with carts, 2 parts cartomizers that may make it a little easier for you in searching out the model.

Welcome to the forum,
Thornbyrd

 

[angied]

OK my hubby did have a caliper and I had him measure it....what measurements do you need? I had him measure it all together, just the battery and just the cart. So hopefully that will help

Thanks again

The M401 is 107 mm long, 8.4mm diameter.

The Kr808d-1 is 110mm long and 9.3mm diameter.
