Ok are these the same? Compatible parts?

Although I have my SD that lasts me throughout the day, I was looking for something I could take with me on a night out. I don't like the batteries on the 901's so I thought I would go with the old pen styles. Also need something for driving as the cart in 901/SD doesn't last the duration of my 1 hour drive to work, or maybe it can't wick fast enough 8-o

Atomizers, 2 holes v/s 4 holes. Is it just an easier pull with a 4 hole? Does one provide better vapor than the other?

I think I saw a post about 901's producing better flavour than the 801's.

Ok so if anyone can clear up any of those points I can go and find my perfect personal vaporizer to accompany a pint. :thumb:

Yes, they are interchangeable.

As far as 2 hole and 4 hole....I used to use a 2 hole and found it to be a hard draw (like sucking my brains out!)....without much vapor. For me, the 4 hole was an easier draw with more vapor. But....it seems others here have had different experiences with it so it might be an individual thing.

I also recall someone saying the 901 produced better flavor but I can't attest to that as I've never owned one.

I recall hearing the 801's are best dripped...not all that great with carts.

I could be wrong though...

I have to use the carts with mine because I vape so much that constant dripping, particularly when I am driving, just isn't feasible.

I top off and throw a couple of drops on the atomizer at the same time....that holds me over pretty well. Never had a problem with the carts that way.

Edited to add: I remember Kate having some problem with carts so she used a lot of dripping but I can't recall offhand what model she was using.

I have both the 901 and penstyle. I used predominantly the DSE801. Now, i use the M201.

Anyway, my take on this is that the 801 and 901 are pretty much equal in the vapour department. 901's are a little better with carts than the 801 but requires way too much topping up. 801 imo gives a better taste and a finer vapour that is somehow more satisfying. Can't really explain it...

I use carts the same way as Lu. When the atomiser begins to get wimpy, i will reserve that atomiser for dripping only. It will work for a while longer and then finally die off.

I do suggest a pen style for your needs. Let us know how it goes.
