We all know that the original Ruyan, Kissbox Classic, and njoy e-cigarettes are namely one of the best e-cigarette in the market today.
Despite the differences in price, how did we figure out if one is better then the other, when most e-cigarettes generally have the same appearance?
The answer is simple. It's because the components(mainly the atomizer) differ in quality for every brand.
But what about mini e-cigarettes? They are also another form of e-cigarettes.
We had many users on this forum who purchased cheap mini e-cigs, namely from eBay and dealextreme for about $30-40 USD, complaining about it's performance.
And because of these priceless experiences, I think the whole forum here have a general impression that the mini e-cigarettes suck. In fact, they tend to bash on all mini e-cig retailers without even having a first hand experience.
But here is the truth. There are dozens of different manufactures for mini e-cigarettes, and the quality can differ for every brand, just like the classic e-cigarette. We can't assume all mini e-cigarettes are the same.
And so today, I will give you everything I know about the mini e-cigarettes. (Mainly the DSE series)
The first mini e-cigarette to ever hit the market are the DSE-901 series. (picture below)
This particular model suffers from a somewhat big length, however it draws a plenty of smoke, quite stable model for a first generation.
The DSE-901 series are still manufactured, and you can easily spot find in many resellers.
One company that specializes in this particular model is http://www.e-cig.com
You can also find them at http://www.supersmokeronline.nl, http://e-cigs.co.uk
The second generation of mini e-cigarette to hit the market are the DSE-902 series.
This model has some improvements over the first generation, mainly the shorter atomizer, and it's thinner body.
But because of it's thinner body, the battery is much longer which still results into length problems. It is also very hard to inhale on this device.
You can't really buy this product anymore as there seems to be no manufacturing going on for DSE-902. However there is another brand to DSE series known as the Health brand, which can be found on http://www.ebay.com and http://www.dealextreme.com for about $30-$40 USD
Be aware that the health brand has serious quality control issues, and the cartridges taste awfully bad. It's one of the lowest quality devices you can buy. If you are serious about e-smoking, avoid this at all cost.
The third model to hit the market is the codename DSE-901, DSE-101, or the v9
This model improved on all areas, mainly fixing the design flaws of last 2 generations.
It has a smaller battery, and even a smaller atomizer that sits inside the mouth piece.
The length of this model is usually 100mm, and 89mm length version is also out there.
However, there is still a problem with this product. The cartridges are too small, allowing on about 60 puffs, and the atomizer gets burnt if smoked with an empty cartridge. It also draws less smoke then the DSE-902 series.
This product can be found all over the web. It is the most common e-cigarette up to date.
Some websites include http://www.cigstar.co.uk/, http://http://smartfixx.com//, http://e-cigs.co.uk
And then, there is the newest, and the best mini e-cigarette, the DSE-103.
In appearance, this model looks just like the DSE-101. However, the cartridge and the mouthpiece are now a one part.
This particular model holds more liquid, and a new improved atomizer that draws more smoke, and does not burn like the DSE-101. This is the BEST mini e-cigarette model out there.
This particular model can be found at http://www.minicigarette.net and http://www.loongtotem.com
And there it is, everything you need to know about the mini e-cigarette series. Keep in mind that there maybe companies out there that uses it's own proprietary components. Mini e-cigarette is still a developing technology, and maybe not as stable as the classic e-cigarette. But if you can buy the latest models such as the DSE-103, you shouldn't be facing too much troubles.
I hope my contribution of knowledge can enlighten the users here for the enjoyment of mini e-cigarettes.
