I ordered my 901 and a few items for my wife and I to test before taking the plunge to drop analogs alltogether. I placed my order on the 28th (Sunday) and received it on the 31st (New Years Eve). I really had no hopes in receiving it that quickly. I figured between Steve probably being swamped and the post office still trying to recover from the hollidays, I would get it at the end of the week.

It took 2 days to ship to me from the time the order was processed.

My wife and I are going to drop analogs within the next week. I am probably going to get another 901, a couple of pen styles, some usb passthroughs, some atomizers, and some liquids.

Steve has been a true pleasure to deal with. It isn't often that you find someone that you like to do business with as much as Steve. This thread is what convinced me. I read it from start to finish on the 28th and made my informed decision. Could be one of the smartest things I have ever done, as opposed to the dumbest which was starting with analogs 20 years ago.

OK, so about a month ago, I saw a coworker sucking on a pen style in the building and blowing out smoke. I was instantly amazed by these devices. I went home and found this forum, researched for about 6 hours, and ordered my first device.

Let me start by saying that I didn't initially order from Steve at PureSmoker. Since my coworker ordered from Phil at e-smokeytreats and was happy, I decided to do that as well.

The shipping was fast, it arrived as advertised, and the price was as low as I've found for a US supplier. I was hooked right out of the box, but I did have a problem... 10 carts will not last a pack a day smoker very long at all, and I did not order any juice! Yikes!

After reading reviews about flavors on this forum (this place is great by the way), I decided that Steve had enough good reviews to warrant my business. I ordered some 36mg CaSH Cola, and some medium 555 blend. I almost caved and bought a pack of smokes since I was all but out of carts, but low and behold my juice came in record time, saving me from tobacco!

I work in a call center, and we have a LOT of employees. When someone has a new cool toy, everyone gets the new cool toy :p So far, I have sent both Steve and Phil some business and I have nothing but good things to say about both of them. I expect about 6 more folks to have ordered by the end of this weekend.

As far as the actual product review, my DSE901 mini kit from e-smokeytreats comes with 2 atomizers for the price that many charge for 1. Price on something I wasn't sure about was my biggest factor in choosing this kit. Both atomizers are still working great, as well as both batteries, and I'm sure that I've been abusing them as a newbie (and I drip right onto the 901 and I just read today that it's not a good idea to do that.) I have made it through the holidays and have only smoked 4 real cigs since getting my device. All 4 were due to that cig/alcohol urge, so when I've not had a beer it's much easier to avoid the tobacco :p

My current flavors:

CaSH Cola 36mg - Tastes a lot like Coke, very very strong

Pure 555 (med)- My favorite so far, closest to an actual cig

CaSH Menthol 4mg - Tastes great, but is very mint, not menthol at all Like sucking on a candy cane or binacca

CaSH Risky Yuice 4mg - Not quite what I expected. It's not something I'll be able to smoke constantly as it's really sweet. I can only describe it like a slightly caramel flavored cotton candy. Definately tastes good, but too sweet for me.

I've also tried Clove from a friend which I really really liked, and I'll be trying the CaSHbucks Coffee tonight.

In summary, I fully reccomend both Steve from puresmoker.com and Phil from e-smokeytreats.com I will be sending more people to both of these guys as not a day goes by that I'm not raving about e-smoking.

I cannot stress just how great it is to not be smoking tobacco anymore: Sense of smell and taste are returning, after a good wash (and good detergent) my clothes and sheets don't stink anymore, I can smoke in the car with the windows up (and in PA, it's COLD!), now that I have my supplies I'm saving $4.50 a day, I can whiten my teeth and actually see a difference, the evil smokers film on my windshield once removed shall not return, I can smoke in the office, and last but not least.... Not smoking tobacco anymore has given my a confidence and will power I have not had in years. I've since changed my diet and started an exercise program as well. This was not a direct result of e-smoking, but I'm not sure I'd feel like physical activity if I was still smoking. I do feel like anything is possible now that I'm no longer a slave to the smokes.


Thank you Steve and Phil, and everyone on this forum for the wealth of opinions and information. It sounds corny, but these things are changing lives. I'm living proof.

Ooo be careful about mentioning drugs and e-cigs around here, you might have a nun and a guy in a hawaiian shirt bite your head off, though it is definitely worth looking into (preferably after e-cigs become socially/legally familiar and accepted to avoid giving the inevitable critics propaganda ammo). By the way did you get your free Dr. Pepper coupon when they did the free-bottle-for-everyone thing after GN'R's album was released? And which area of east tx ya from? I live bout 45 min NE of Dallas in G-ville (follow I-30 through rockwall and royse city)

And yes Steve/Puresmoker is marvelous with his super-fast delivery, quality hardware at fair prices (USB battery <3), prompt and detailed (and personal!) responses to any questions, and he charges all the batteries and tests all the atomizers before he ships them to ensure the presence of a fully-functional, ready-to-roll e-cig as soon as you open the box. Major kudos. However, I often wonder what might happen if Steve gets too many customers. Shipping times could increase if he was unable to keep up with the load. The increased amount of e-mails and orders could force him to outsource the customer service to some private firm which would have an english-impaired war prisoner answering our questions that have been loosely translated by a computer program into his native tongue, and then either selecting from a list of pre-written responses or attempting to write a custom reponse (to a question he probably didn't understand) that will be turned into a jumble of english and untranslatable words by the program before being sent back to your email address that they sold to an advertising company while processing your messages. But for now, he is all ours <3

Though I must mention that Steve has been accused of stalking a fellow Californian and showing up at their house in the wee hours of the mornings and dropping off orders placed less than 36 hour previously. Oh and (to my knowledge) he has released less information about the ingredients in his products than the cigarette companies have, so the long-term health risks of his liquids are unknown (seriously, doesn't need to be a lab report just a basic list of what ingredients are put in to the mix so we know we aren't sucking on some rust that was scraped off an old bike chain and disolved in PG with a crude tobacco extract that may still contain a [concentrated amount] of the bad chems that led us to abandon tobacco in the first place).

One last thing, I have been using the same 901 atomizer (except one that I used for a week or so) since Nov 5th, and have never seen this "self-cleaning" cycle happen, just the 5-second inhale blink and the suprise-fool-your-battery-is-dead long flash, and has never tasted burnt or otherwise unpleasant. Does this happen to them all and if so, how long do most go before the first cleaning cycle?
hey i think the puresmoker devices, well at least the classic penstyle the self cleaning kicks in after 1500 inhales. but im sure i didn't take that many in 24hrs. haha. but it killed my atomizer with self cleaning.
 
CaSH Menthol 4mg - Tastes great, but is very mint, not menthol at all Like sucking on a candy cane or binacca

Hmm, interesting, that's not my experience at all - I find the Cash pure menthol to be quite similar to real menthol analogs - and only slightly minty.

I'm continually amazed at how differetly people can react to various flavours.

This is why sample packs are important - it's all so very subjective.

Well, it's been a few weeks since my first order, and I thought I'd better add one more "me too" to the choir here; Steve is amazing, blazing fast, and answered my questions without once making me feel stupid (and, in retrospect, they were kinda stupid questions). I wish there were more companies out there like this one to do business with, and Steve has another customer for life.

Now if he can just get the juices back in stock so I can buy more... :) I really wanna try the Cola that everyone is raving about!!!

Hello all,

The new card even has Steve's name on it and email so it should be great for his business, plus they are black with some cool blue smoke/vapor through it..

Sorry I'm just into cool looking business cards and Steve's Great products!! :thumbs:


Funny how when I said that he had a new business card everyone including him pretty much said I was mistaken. Hmm you must be mistaken also dukeboy. lol

Another thumbs up for Steve's turnaround time at Pure Smoker! I placed my order Thursday afternoon (Jan. 8) and my package arrived on the 10th! I was expecting a Monday delivery since he's in California, I'm in Michigan, and the shipping confirmation came on Friday. (Kudos to the USPS too.)

What a great way to end the week! I had a horrible week at work. I'm a driver by profession and I work nights. Things were really really slow and I'm strictly commission. Weather/road conditions in metro Detroit were crummy all week.

I went to the Red Wings hockey game Saturday night and they beat Buffalo (sorry Sabres fans). So that cheered me up. When I got home from the game my package from Pure Smoker was sitting on the kitchen table! That was a huge surprise and lifted my spirits even more since the mail carrier had already come by the house that afternoon. She looped back around at the end of her route and dropped my package after I had left for the game!

Hi - I'm new to the site and new to e-smoking.

I just wanted to chime in and say how great puresmoker.com is. I got my DSE901 and accessories insanely fast (ordered late Thursday night and received it today).

Steve was out of the USB charger I ordered, but to make up for it he threw in two fierce lemon and cherry juices, and I think those will probably better than a USB charger anyway!

I have a passthrough USB on order from him now, and then along with a USB battery pack I'll be set for a good long time.

One suggestion to Steve - maybe you should start stocking and selling USB batteries?

Hey there Steve.

Got my Cash Menthol juice Saturday. Batteries from bleep too. Yeah, vaping good. I feel like I'm smoking a REAL menthol cigarette. Finally! Good stuff. I think the high might be too high for me or I'm vaping more because it's tastes so good. Hmmmm ... med not enough, high too much. Maybe mix them.

Great turn around and I love the taste.:thumb:

Syringe is exactly the size I wanted too. It looked smaller in the picture. I've used it to refill but not to squeeze yet. Jeez, I've got 30 carts to play with.

Thanks dude. I will be ordering from you again. Since I bought the 50ml size, if I bought another 50 of lite or med. that would be a lot of juice. Would that be too much for the lenth of time to use. I have it in a dark cabinet right now. What's the best way to store. Any thought of the frig,?

Talk soon! Flippin' good s%@#!!! if anyone likes menthol.:wub:

I am also new - I lurked here as a guest for a week before ordering from Steve. However, I'm a little bit "wtf" because I ordered on 9 Jan, and it hasn't shipped yet! Admittedly, I did order $100 worth, and I suppose it might take a while to get it all together, besides the fact that I ordered late on Friday, and it's only Monday right now (blushes). PureSmoker.com (Joanna?) also replied very quickly to some questions I had - and indicated that the eJuice inventory would be updated today. With that in mind, I just headed over there, and there's no Cash eJuice on the menu! Argh! Guess I have to wait until close-of-business California time.

I can't WAIT to get my 901 and get rid of the nasty smoke problem I've got now. Hopefully this will let me kick my analog habit, and get me on the way to weaning off the nicotine as well.
 
Smokin T,

I also ordered my first E-cig and got $100 worth late Friday night like you.
My order just went from processing to shipped, so I'm sure we'll see them by Wednesday :)
Might wanna check your order now for the update.

Hey Plastick, I live in Pittsburgh too, although I'm from Philadelphia :p
Just curious, how late on Friday did you order??? :)
