Penstyle vs mini home use

[womblebat]

Ok guys i need all you penstyle pros and 901 ravers to guide me

I intend to get a new e-cig for home use, i use the EVO all the time at the

moment but want something for when i'm on my laptop, i will be getting a

passthrough batt to power it so cmon what's got the best vapour and

throat hit,can you recommend a model? i'm in the UK as well

thanks all

A 901 USB passthru from puresmoker.com and your set. I use mine when sitting at pc, hooked to pc, and when I want to get up and move around, I plug it into the APC pack and go. If Im going snowmobiling, I unscrew the 901 atomizer from usb cable and screw it onto the SD and off we go. Best of all worlds. To me, the penstyle doesnt give a very good throat hit, and for it being bigger, thats a drawback to me.


LOL, I just noticed we stopped smoking analogs exactly the same time! Cool..

cheers HDBanger, i have heard from a few the 901 has a fiercer throat hit, arghhh confused

I'd go for an RN4072 penstyle. I use mine with a USB passthrough battery from Bestecig and a Battech battery. Very good indeed. I also have passthrough batts for the 901 and DSE103 (fits the original Intellicig), both of which work very well - but imho you can't beat a penstyle for this sort of vaping. When out and about for me the Evo is king.

I'll vote for the penstyle as well. The 901 is my out and about device while my favourite device when I'm at home is by far the kissbox with manual switch. It gives the liquid a really nice flavour and good throat hit too. According to Leaford's recent video he rates the David Yang penstyle atomiser as being in the same class. If that's true then I would go for one of those. I'll definitely be trying one after the Chinese New Year anyway

The downside to the penstyle is they tend not to be as good at wicking the juice from the cartridge as the 901. Dripping gets much better results.

Thanks scrubadub for the input, i used to own a 901 and it was great for dripping, are

the penstyles as good for dripping?

 

[scrubadub]

Yep they're great for dripping womblebat. I didn't really get on with the KB when I first got it as I was used to cartridges. Once I made the switch it really came into it's own. I still wish it was better with carts though. It would be nice to have the lower maintenance option if I wanted it though.

Also it's probably worth pointing out that my generic penstyle from e-cigs is quite different. It handles carts much better but doesn't taste as different from the 901 as the KB does.

PENSTYLE ROCKS THE HOUSE!!!! You can't beat it for home use. 901s seem very hit and miss lately so I would go with the pen. Dripping is wise since some pen atomisers will not empty a cart properly, thats the only drawback.

cheers tribal, think i may give simon's site a glance, are all the penstyles as good as

each other?

 

[tribalmasters]

The Midnyte black is lovely but if you've never tried a pen before the cheaper white penstyle eco starter packs are the ones to get!! I have never tried the 4 hole atomiser but some say there isn't as much vapor as the 2 hole atomiser the other good news is the batteries aren't too bad not as good as an evo but certainly better than the 901 battery life!

 

[tribalmasters]

In other news I just ran out of menthol liquid but I have french pipe and chocolate and maybe even some vanilla

I quite fancy getting hold of a pen style for home use as well. I use my mini (I believe it's an RN variant of a 901!) all the time when I'm out and about and at work, but would like that 'extra' kick when chilling at home

Interesting though that some people still reckon that a 901 can hit harder than a pen style...there must be a 'what hits the hardest' poll kicking about in here somewhere - I'm off to search!

 

[tribalmasters]

IMO The penstyle hits harder than a 901 but like the 901 it depends on the atomiser. Direct dripping onto the atomiser is best for the penstyle, it doesn't do very well drawing liquid out of the cart usually. Its easy enough tho, just drip 2 drops in when you notice the vapour disappearing
