USB from bestecig.com does not work at ALL

[siggywiggy]

I ordered 2 of these Mini e-cigarette USB Battery: usb battery for BE901/DSE901

and tried them with my DSE901b atomizers using a USB portable battery pack and plugging directly into my computer USB port. What's up with that....I was SOOOOO damn exited about these

Try another atomizer perhaps... I bought a few from there for a pen-model; and some of my atomizers do work with it, and some don't... I hope you are lucky this way.

that's annoying. I wonder if anyone else has similar results. maybe talk to beci on his msn. he should sort you out.

Some members said that some of their products were reversed polarity so you had to use only their products. It could also be that it is designed for a true DSE model not an RN model. The RN number escapes me at the moment.

 

[siggywiggy]

Oh no!!!

Well it would be nice if they warned me before I plopped down 40 bucks! I know they are not broken because NEITHER work . This really sucks!!

Found it! RN4075...

yes the chinese Bestecig and wayns from HG are the cooler running DSE type..

the coloured ones from western sellers are mostly the RN type..

the RN type are a slighly smaller diameter.. the bestecig carts are too tight a fit.. which is a shame cos the old type single piece carts are nicer to top up..

the other way around the carts are too loose..

the other thing we have noticed is the batteries.. the wall thickness on the latest RN ones is very thin.. its far easier to jiggle the press fit brass ends out of them than it used to be.. a few jiggles and a gentle tug and out they come..

I mix and mach all my penstyle from Beci and others and they work and the chargers work. Is there a differance in a DSE901 and a DSE901B?

It's black. That is the only difference I have heard.

The polarity reversal was to have been on some of the first shipments they had out. I had read something to the effect that problem had been corrected. It is possible that might have been one of those reversed though. Just odd that both units do not work.

Found the link, This was on a discussion about a different model. So the 901 might not have been affected.

This is more common a problem then is reported because people just swap out atomizers till they find one that works.. An atomizer that has been used with a battery tends to tighten down the contact and hence when a USB passthough is screwed in it can not tighten down deep enough to make contact with the atomizer. You need to try an atomizer that a battery has never been place on and those passthoughs will fire right up. You could always try the wad of foil in the passthrough hole but I would not recommed that if you are going to plug into your computer as you do not want to fry the motherboard--give me a pm if you need help

Some people had problems with the usb port on their computer not being strong enough....and not using a 1000 mah battery pack/supply. Just something to check.

WOW!!! Well I have a few new atomizers on order so we'll see. Thanks a billion!

you can check them by sucking directly on the passthrough to see if the led goes on,
put your tounge on the contact. if there is some power,while sucking you will feel it.
