Screwdriver review and update on DSE901b and Ruyan "Bling" E-Cigar

Nice Review Justin .. Trog better get making more SDs Fast !

 

[just4747]

Thanks man! Yeah it seems to be getting more popular by the day. I see new text reviews for it all the time on here now! But it really is nice, so I understand why!

Hmm, it says the video is currently unavailable, please try again later...but it is still live with no problems according to Google so I guess it will work soon enough..

EDIT: It works again.

Thanks justin. Good review I happen to have the cigar; a 901 and a screwdriver. Have put the first two away for emergencies and just using the ScrewDriver now. Can of course still make use of the 901 atomisers with the SD.
Main reason I am just using the SD is battery life.

 

[just4747]

Thanks, hope all would-be owners see the video in case they are unsure about it! Yeah I pretty much wouldn't want or need anything other than those 3 devices..they are all great and none have let me down yet! The regular 901 is nice when you need to be more concealing of the device, but the SD is for any other time haha. And the Bling is for whenever you're in the mood or want to show it off lol.

what an awesome review. Trog...congrads!

Justin,

Thanks for the video, I was wondering about the battery when I got mine too. Tell me, do you need to top off often, and has your power gone down at times? I am just rying to get a handle on this thing. I been using it, comparing it to janty with usb, manual, and different atomizer. So far, the Janty/Jane(atomizer)is tasting better, lasting longer between topping off, and producing as much, if not more vapor. I appreciate your help.

 

[just4747]

As far as the taste thing goes...in the first few days, it was tasting weird at times for sure. Like it was cooking the juice too much. But ever since a day or two ago, it's been fine and RY4 in it tastes like RY4 to me...more like the way it tastes in the regular 901. So I believe whatever was going on is fine now (I hope).

As for the topping off...YES, I need to top off a little too often for my taste, I guess because it vaporizes more of it more often than a normal e-cig..at least that's my guess. But if I top it off to the very top it seems to last a little longer. But yeah I definitely get that all-too-familiar burning taste a little too often for my taste so far, where a top-off is needed. I can't tell if it's more often than with the 901 or not though..it's a close call.

I can see that most of the SD's traits are similar to a KB Classic, but a.) this is cooler lol and b.) the battery life on this is obviously much greater. So I would still buy the SD if I had to choose. Oh, and I haven't noticed any loss in power at all like you asked..what do you mean exactly?

 

[SMILIN]

Oh, and I haven't noticed any loss in power at all like you asked..what do you mean exactly?

I can puff like 3 times, than the 4th or 5th, it is like the atomizer is dead, and I get a plastic crappy flavor. I adjust the cartridge, and loosen/tighten battery, seems to work fine for a little while. I am also on my 2nd cartridge already, cause the stuffing was caught on the atomizer, so I had to clean it out.

It is real cool, though, I like the manual switch on the Janty better(side vs rear). I will know more in a couple daze.

Thanks again

That is the reason I just ordered one. I swap my 901 battery 5-6 times a day. I have only been on e cigs for 4 days and have not had to go out for an entire day. When I do go out, I will need 6 batteries in my pocket.

If the screwdriver will eliminate the need for a battery change, then it serves the demand I purchased it for.

I was about to order 4 more batteries at a cost of $60. That added to the 2 batteries I already have bring the value of the batteries to $90. So I compare the $90 battery cost to the SD battery cost which I think is under $10?

Great Review Just !!! Thanks for sharing!

I was a little sceptical of the screwdriver at first, more so in the fact it's made up of lots of donor parts.
But after getting one ( im a sucker for toys ) i'm rather quite impressed thus far.
Trogs done a great job taking all the donor parts and putting them together. The parts of it that trog has manufacured from scratch he has done to a very high standard.

Like trog says It's nothing magical, but i'm glad i purchased it just purely for the immense run times on one battery charge. I never bought it for the lower running costs as this really wasn't an issue for me as i used 2 or 3 different devices throughout the day.

We all know how good a 901 is with a fresh off the charge battery on it. Well the screwdriver is like that , but it performs the same all day.

The only thing i would have liked to seen with it would be the lanyard that probably came with the body to be included, a little extra for the safety concious.

edit: ohhh, hope my post isn't gonna be censored too

 

[dnakr]

I'm tempted but would rather have a classic atomizer so I am patiently waiting for trog to expand.

Screwdriver review and update on DSE901b and Ruyan "Bling" E-Cigar

Thanks just 4747. I've been vaping for about nine months now and I didn't know about that trick - disconnecting the battery and atomizer during the cleaning phase.

Very helpful.

 

[NerdyCinderella]

NO! I just realized this morning if one disconnects the battery from the atomizer during the cleaning process (the 14 blinking LED), it undermines the purpose of cleaning the atomizer.

Yes, but it also avoids a lot of burned-up fluid, burned cart wool and the resulting nasty taste. We can clean our own atomizers, thankyouverymuch.

I prefer to remove the cart and smoke the atomizer dry/clean most times... and of course there's always blowing 'em out, draining 'em and when neccessary steaming or boiling. The cleaning cycle is a bad compromise with too much downside, IMHO.

I see your point, Dale. Thanks for increasing my brain cells.

i really got to get me one of those steam bees to see if they live up to the hype.

Video won't work right now. Bummer... I'm looking into getting a ScrewDriver.
