New Guy with new PV

[EpipeforRico]

Hi,
I’m a pipe smoker with no intention of quitting. I’ve been looking into vaping so I can have something for the places where I can’t smoke. I did try the DSE-601 E-Pipe, but it wasn’t satisfying-probably due to it’s unreliability. Although the last couple of weeks it’s been working fine.
Probably ‘cause I’ve been looking into something else.

I found a couple B&Ms in the area and Saturday I picked up an Ecto 1300 BDC-VV with a T9 BDC tank. The guy at the store said they were new & he just received these units a couple days ago. I searched for reviews online but couldn’t find anything. The 1300s aren’t even on the Ecto website yet.

Has anyone had any experience with Ecto? What’s your opinion of them?

Hi and Welcome to ECF

I dont have any experience with either of those Epipes, but I wanted to welcome you and bump your question back to the top. Im sure a member with some info will be along soon!

Hi CreepyLady,

Thanks for your reply.
The DSE-601 is an E-Pipe. The atty is built into the "pipe bowl"- so when it burns out, you hav'ta buy another bowl. An expensive proposition.

The Ecto is a PV. It works much better than the pipe.
I restore vintage tobacco pipes as a hobby, so I plan to attach a pipe bowl to the end of the Ecto so it'll look more like a pipe.
I got the idea when I saw the Janty Kuwako online.

I also know nothing about pipes but I will also welcome you and give you a BUMP

Welcome to the forum and good luck on the forum. Sorry I have not info on the pipes

 

[Slappy1981]

I have the ecto 1100 and 1300.

Good for a beginner. But you pretty much get what you pay for.
I wouldn't buy another one. I keep them as last resort emergencies only.

I also haven't had any experience with the pipes you mention but I do plan on getting one of the new ones from Smok Just because I used to love smoking pipes before I got onto cigarettes.. and I think vaping has much more in common with pipesmoking.. anyway the company that makes that one I linked seems reliable and while I can't really recommend it (as I've never tried it) I can say I do intend to purchase one in the next few months =)

@EpipeforRico
wow those look really really .. really cool.. a bit out of my 'vape budget' though sadly

 

[damionjharlan]

EpipeforRico, I am on a quest to find something like a Peterson 999. Also if you find anything that tastes like Dunhill Light Flake, Nightcap or London Mixture. PLEASE PM me.

Ok;

Let me see if I can get something straight; I think there's a good chance you don't really want what is called an e-pipe.

I think what a pipe smoker would actually be interested in is an RBA. A REBUILDABLE.

Does that sound like what you might be interested in?

If so, there are two types:
1: Topcoil - usually described as Genesis type
2: bottom coil - usually called Kayfun style, or russian.

Found 64 rba at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

The ecto 1100 is hit or miss. Sometimes you get great Taste and vapor and other times nothing.

The ecto 1300 is a good concept. But it needs some work. You can change volts on this. 3.3v to 4.8v. Taste and vapor is way better then the 1100, but the tank leaks. I took it back and got a new tank, Same problem. When you take a toot you hear a lot of gurgling. It's a new product so hopefully they get it corrected.

I'm still using the 1300. I ordered a provari that should be here this week.

I have the 1300 and haven't had any problems. The only time it gurgled was when the tank was running low. My tank has never leaked.

Yea, I'm thinking I got a lemon. I took it back and got a new one with an extra tank and so far so good.
I actually kinda like it.

Where the Ecto is VV, I'm thinking about trying VW. But with so many choices I dunno where to start.
