The Great White (anyone tried it??

[littlewierdo]

Hey all, Im new . A virgin smoker all over again... Alrighty, so, I made the plunge and it was the worst decision I ever made..Electronic Cigarette by Smoking Everywhere E-Cigarette. Yuck. Stay away from em. $150 wasted. After doing some searching and discovering there were other alternatives, I decided to make a significantly cheaper purchase and found something I think is really gnarly...The Great White. It can be found at electroniccigarettesales / Page_2.html Scroll down to the second one in the list (its just below the pen style shown on the page). Having seen absolutely no reviews or any information other than that listed on the page, I emailed the site owner who was very prompt in emailing me back. We had a brief discussion via email over the course of 3-4 hours about it and I decided to take (hopefully) a more refreshing plunge for this bad boy. I was looking for a cig that didnt have to be charged every damned cartridge I put in. I frequently travel alot and I dont have power in my back pocket to charge one up twice a day - nor did I want to carry 2 batteries with me. This thing boasts 12 hours of smoking time - being more realistic, Im expecting 6-8 hours. Im also told it has a much better hit than the DSE901's and has a 4 hole atomizer...already over my head but he says thats a really good thing. Right. It also takes standard cartridges but the atomizer is not standard which is my only concern (forcing me to order replacements from only ecigsales - the website linked above). The pen style which is the first one in the list takes all standard parts and has the best hits of any he had on his website but I couldnt deal with having a 6 inch cig in my pocket (thus my decision to go with the great white). Its 4.5 inches (about half an inch longer than a marlboro 100). So, with all that said, has anyone tried this monster out? It seems to address all the negatives e-cigs have with exception to standard atomizers (good draw/vapor - Ive even got some of the lingo down, extremely long battery life, and reasonably priced). And sorry for the weird posts on the links...I really dont like the policy of not being able to provide links...how is anyone supposed to get assistance to a product that you cant show?? ----- No ashes to everyone out there.

great white is actually a smart choice for a newbie, if you dont want to go the 901b route... I have heard excellent reviews of it. In time you will learn the ins and outs of whats what and realize which atomizors can be used with which and its not as limiting as you suggest....
And buy a third battery Those things are fierce bats but please don't believe the marketing... tho jane doesnt mince her words in email, ever. I use her penstyle and its great.

That website looks like it was put together by a colorblind 12yr old in his basement. The flaming gifs were cool for 10 minutes about 25 years ago.

Sorry man...I wouldn't touch any product from a company with such an amateurish website.

I haven't tried the Great White yet, but it is on my wishlilst. She has a cool charger for it that seems to run on battery power so you can charge for a day or so without having to find a wall socket or computer. I can vouch for Jane at e-cig sales. I have her Silver Bullet. She is very upfront about everything and does her very best to give honesty, not sales hype.

Her site is a little rustic by todays standards, but she knows that and explains it if you just read. She is not a youngster with a ton of tech savvy and html training. This is not her "day job". She decided from the onset that she would focus on great products and good prices rather than fancy web designs - that sleek, flashy look. She went with a page she could maintain without hiring someone at 3 times her own salary to update for her. I have great respect for her and get a bit miffed when I see someone trashing her for no REAL reason except that they didn't read, just judged the book by its cover.

I'm going to back up Nicwolf here. I have ordered from Jane on several occasions. To date i've only had juice orders but still the service was great and she is the ONLY supplier i have found that does not charge for shipping. As soon as i have the funds available i'm probably going to order one of her penstyles.
I'd have no problems ordering anything from her.

If you have any questions about her products send her an email. You'll get an honest answer.

i've been curious about the great white myself. seems really odd to me that a lot of people get juice from there(i got some there myself), but very little seems to be said or known about the e-cigs there. i have no idea who the mfr. is or what model it is....

I, too, have dealt with Jane on several occasions, have had many enlightening conversations with her, and she has always been fair, and shipped me quality products at a more than fair price.

I don't feel that judging her service and quality by her webpage is fair, but then again, that's a choice each has to make.

Since I have never been ordering "website design services" from her, I do not feel it's a valid criteria and as another poster pointed out, her webpage does explain that she does NOT spend money on such trivialities. Would be nice if others in business, especially large corps, would do the same... maybe we wouldn't be paying for all their overpaid webpage design among other wasteful spending, with our tax dollars.

Anyone who deals with Jane will not be disappointed in her candor or her service !

So, real quick, Im just waiting for it to come in the mail. For those that have used the pen style she offers, whats the bat. life like? Im sure it isnt 12 hours as claimed but is it enough for say 2-3 days without recharging? How does it compare to the DSE901 everyone raves about here? And if anyone can point me to others thoughts on the Great White, Id like to see others opinons... And, I agree...Jane has been very kind and quick with her responses...so, her website is a bit dated...its the quality of the product that counts...not the website. While I do agree that a website can assist in selling a product, its probably the lowest thing I look for. I was a bit concerned when I first saw the site but when she responded to an email I sent within an hour or two and then responded to each mail after that about every 10 minutes (for a total of about 10 that I sent), THAT is what sold me. Customer service is everything to me.

I got my Great White from Jane on January 14th and yes the batteries are long lasting. I've charged them up and let them sit for over a week and they still proform top notch. (Wish they could make a battery like this for my NPRO and 901) The carts are a pain to top off & refill, you're going to need a syringe if you plan to buy juice to do so because the cartridge is glued to the inside of the mouthpiece. I love Jane's KICK Abandomint and Cocopuffs liiquid.

PS
My kit came with the Electronic e-Cigarette Mobile charger.
It claims to charge up to 5 times, but for me was maybe 2x before quitting
maybe because the time between charges needed were days apart. I dunno.

Jane is one of the first USA suppliers - reliable and very helpful, 'mentoring' her customers in better vaping techniques. However not so much helpful in figuring out what she's selling. I've tried to find out her models, to no avail, and am not always clear on what she carries for parts and carts either. That's just not where she puts her time. Also I think she was the first ecig seller on Amazon.

 

[Tumbleweed4829]

I have tried the Great White. I personally did not like it. The carts were hard to refill, the pull was hard and there was no throat hit. I sent it back and got the titanium penstyle. The titanium was great but lasted me all of maybe 2 weeks. Now her liquid is great and she is great with customer service. I just didn't have much luck with her e-cigs.

Looking at the picture of the Great White, I was wondering if that may be a 510?

Definitely not a 510

Ya You Are So Right, The Website.... It Needs a Major Makeover, Some Better Product Info, Better & More Ad Description, Better & Larger Pics. I Believe this may be an 801 but I will not say for sure because I don't know, but does it have a special longer lasting 801 battery? Is it being compared to a 901 battery? or is it just marketing hype??

I was tempted to buy it and some atomizers, but due to the above paragraph & no reviews I said no.

I have heard good things about Jane, and I believe she is honest, a hard worker, reliable, good to deal with and has some great juice. So thats Great!

I Hate Iffy / Vague Product Descriptions! I want to know what I am Paying for Before I Buy It!

Please No Offense, just my impressions & thoughts.

Ok, Ive had it for about 2 weeks. Perhaps Im not refilling correctly but it certainly is not functioning as well as I had hoped. Here are my thoughts. On the positive, extremely long battery life. If you are a pack a day smoker, you should get 3-4 days on it without having to charge. It also charges in 3-5 hours so no biggie if you do have to charge. On the negative, Not a whole lot of smoke which tells me if Im inhaling anything or if its just air. I thought this might be due to the way I was refilling so I tried putting another of the cartridges that came with it on and it isnt much better. I then tried just adding a couple (as in 2) drops of fluid by removing the cartridge, then using the provided bottle (which has a dropper tip) to drop in the 2 drops in the open end (in other words, the end opposite to the inhaling end) and then capped back on. Didnt seem to do much. It is also extremely hard to inhale anything off the darned thing. I feel like my eyeballs are going to pop out of my head trying to inhale anything. I tried using it exclusively and I keep reverting to regular cigs because I just cant get the damned thing to work correctly. Maybe I just dont know what Im doing or perhaps Im doing something wrong. I dunno...Im having the damndest time with this. So, what I need is, an e-cig with decent battery life (something that will last EASILY a day), doesnt require a 500 watt hoover to inhale, provides smoke equivalent to that of a regular light up cig (I dont need to set the smoke detectors off but I do want to feel like Im smoking a regular cigarette), and isnt a pain in the ... to refill. Im not sure if her penstyle would be better...

Tumbleweed, take a look at the forums in tips and tricks - the top most thread is stickied I believe. The reason yours stopped working is a strange design in the atomizer. Basically, take the cartridge and battery off so you are holding the atomizer and its casing. On the inhaling end, blow out as hard as you can for about 10 seconds. Take a piece of toilet paper (one square) and wipe the fluid that comes out the other side. Keep repeating until no more fluid comes out. Then, attach the atomizer to the battery and do about 10 quick and short inhales in rapid succession. Then, do a longer 5 second inhale. You should notice smoke. Attach the cartridge and do a small inhale and see if there is smoke (there should be). If not, do 10 short inhales again and then a longer 5 second inhale and see if theres smoke. You might have to do this 2-3 times before it starts working properly again.

I know its weird, but the pen style one she sells is amazing and I just couldnt believe that it would stop working on me.
