I'm not sure but the PeeWee might be an RN4081 too?

According to polls this seems to be one of the least recommended and most disliked devices around -

Could folk with experience of owning and using this device chip in here and say what you think about it please?

How does it compare with other devices?
How durable is it?
How easy to maintain is it?
Etc.

Thanks very much.

IMO its very similar to the RN version of the DSE901, but with the slide over mouthpiece and small inner cartridge configuration. Apart from the cartridge capacity (much smaller) its very similar in terms of battery life, vapour and so on.

Heres a pic of the cartridge (against an Evo one on the left) which I meant to post in Igetcha's review thread. You can see its tiny. Perhaps they've redesigned it, or perhaps he has a different model??

I got the RN4081 from E-Bay, since that was the fist place I discovered E-cigs.
As a first experience, I thought it was really good.
When I got my Evo, however, I found that these models were way below par.
That was the end of it....

Just a note to add that if I were to use the RN4081 until the atomizer gets hot, I get the awful plastic taste. This is because the cart which is made of plastic, envelopes the
atomizer....

Hi all, just received my e-smoke yesterday and wanted to share a few words about it's performance. The super cigarette (model RN 4081)was an E-Bay purchase ($39.95) and was received in 3 days.
FIRST IMPRESSION- It looks like a cigarette alright, a little longer and heavier.
It works but not putting out allot of vapor. It is useable but you kind of have to puff on it several times to prime it and get a decent drag. It needs larger air flow through the cart because you have to draw pretty hard to get vapor.
VAPOR- Vapor production has been hit and miss. Sometimes you get a good puff, but most of the time it is thin and whispy even when dripping.
BATTERY LIFE- Today at work the first battery lasted about 3 hours. The second seems better as its been 4 hours and still puffing.
CARTRIDGE LIFE- The book says 1 cart =6 or 7 analogs but its really more like 1. The kit came with 30 carts.
CHARGE TIME- Charge time is smokin' (no pun intended). The first battery was charged and showing a green light in 15 minutes. This can't be good for the batteries to charge this fast, as they will not last and will need to be replaced soon. The slower you charge a battery the longer it lives. I would prefer 1 to 2 hour charge time.
TASTE- I got the regular flavor (tobacco) and the taste is....ah..er...well...its kind of..aahh.. hard to put in words. I've never tasted anything like this to compare to. Its not bad and not good at the same time. It just is. Not objectionable but not pleasant either.
NICE FEATURES- The batteries come one with orange light and one with
green light so you don't mix up the used one and the fresh one when
changing them.
CONCLUSION- This was my first e-cig purchase and I got the cheapest one I could find just to see if vaping might work for me. I really did not expect this one to be anything more than a demo model and that's exactly what it is. After trying this one I have decided to spend the $100 for a Janty Dura and get the full experience.
NOTE- If you get the Super Cigarette 4081 there are two small holes in the atomizer that have to align with two notches on the battery when you screw them together to allow air flow. If you screw it too tight you block the holes and suck your brains out trying to get a drag. Nothing about this in the manual.

Update- SOLD FOR PARTS- The carts are just to useless for this to be a serious product.

(This review was writen some time ago and is only MY experience with the 4081)

The Super Mini RN4081 was my first e-cig too. I've moved on to a DSE901 and a Penstyle since. I recently saw IGETCHA's Totally WIcked e-liquid reviews and it looks like he is using the RN4081 during his reviews. Well, I thought I'd give it another try only this time strictly dripping. It actually vapes very well using the dripping method, but the short battery life is still an issue. It does produce a nice ammount of vapor though. I would say that it doesn't vape quite as well as the 901 or Penstyle, but it serves nicely as a backup.

My Npro (pee wee) has lasted 66 days and 22 hours. I use it in the car and at work. It is the original atomizer, original battery.

I prefer the janty pen style w/manual switch for evening and home use, but I'm more comfortable using my Nrpo outside the home. It is more discreet.

Njoy consumables are a rip but the device is great.

My first e-cig was an NPRO, and I had no problems with it, used it for 3 months until I misplaced it. (Yes, I've been e-smoking since October and have yet to have an atomizer or battery fail on me.) The battery life is worse than the 401, and I began to get frustrated with its on-again, off-again performance until I started dripping it. As soon as I did that, the thing was kicking me like a mule! It was great!
Anyway, it's in my house somewhere, but for me--battery life aside, it's a toss up between the 401 and the NPRO/RN4081. The 401 is more consistent, but it requires a specific techinque (long, even drags)--the RN4081 has less of a learning curve for the new e-cig user.

I'm still using the njoy npro I got last week. Can't really give an accurate review because I have nothing to compare it with yet (eagerly awaiting 901 and Dura sets ATM).

I can say this, however: the carts are terrible. Tiny tiny little thing in the mouthpiece holds about 10 good drags tops. Also, the flavor that comes with it can accurately be described as stale ashtray flavor. YUCK.

Got some janty cappuccino juice today and it's actually delicious, better vapor production too. Vast improvement.
 
Hi everyone,

Man I'm glad I found this thread. I bought an NPro last week and have been happy with it, but I've been looking since then to find out what the generic model type is so I can buy an extra atomizer. Thank you Kate for finding out for me!

As for my thoughts, I've been happy with it. I have basically the same impression as igetcha. I've only used the original 5 cartridges and I have nothing to compare it with, but I must say that the battery life seems decent. I like the flavor of the starter carts, which to me tastes like hazelnut.

i don't have the rn4081 but i do have a dse103. the inner cart is even smaller then any pics papa posted. my problem is not with the batts but with the carts. they are just so hard to refill and i get about 10 pulls off of them and they need topped off. at my job, stopping to top off is not an option. i have since moved to a pen and one cart and one batt last me my 10 hour day. still have my dse103 to bring places i have never vaped, it doesn't stand out like the pen.

yep, that was indeed the Npro i used in those vids. i personally think that it is a very good e-cig when put into the super mini catagory. it produces great vapour, fairly good battery life, no leaky carts and has the ease of use as a 901 when it comes to direct dripping.

im really not sure why guys are saying cart life is only the equivelant of 1 cigarette! i get just the same amount of use from a cart as what i do most e-cigs (about 5 - 7 cigarettes worth). bare in mind guys that 1 cigarette is about 15 puffs. if people are only getting 15 puffs out of a fresh refilled cart then i blame that on user error.

as my video review showed, i cant really fault it!

Puresmoker's PeeWee has been confirmed to be an RN4081.

Totally Wicked's super is also an RN4081.


so is TECs (theelectroniccigarette.co.uk)

yesterday i recieved a few models of the e-cigs they sell for review purposes and one of them was a RN4081 called a "super". i was kinda deliberating as to whether to review it or not as ive already covered that model but after seeing the packaging and contents i do think its worth the review now.

kate, you are very in to the safety etc of e-cigs so i think it could particularly interest you to see the measures TEC and their sister company TW are taking to comply with all the health and safety issues.
