Vaping is pissing me off

[johngeetar]

So I bought a super mini at a mall kiosk and it works great. i came to these forums where everyone bashed them so I decided to buy a dse901. It worked great for about a month then it started to taste horrible. So I bought a new atomizer from totally wicked because they were the only ones in stock. So I got the atomizer, and it didn't work at all. I had to pay $8 for shipping to get a new one. Then I ordered 3 more from them so I would be ready. 2 of the ones I ordered were DOA which I didn't realize until after 7 days. The ones I have left that work just BARELY work. im sitting here smoking kools ...... as hell. I hate vaping now.

Doing any better?

 

[chief druid]

buy a dura-c then lol ... its a learning curve stick with it get passed the hard stage ... then its easy .. soon as you find a good device that simply works its easy .. then you can focus on just buying juice

 

[LuckySevens4U]

Yes, I think we all have those frustrating days where nothing goes right. I have felt the same time about 3 times. TW will replace those attys. I had troubles with a few also.

 

[Kimpetuous]

Why don't you go back to the super mini?

why did you have to pay $8 shipping for them to replace a defective atomizer?...and yea, why didnt you just use your mini in the meantime instead of smoking analogs?

because if I dont ship it back to them they wont send me a new one.

I let my roommate borrow it and hes in florida

The warranty is up on the atomizers already

John all of us can definitely relate to what you are going thru. Ecigs are still basically a new product and many bugs have yet to be worked out. I liken them to any new product, ie cars, micowaves, refrigerators. This is something entirely new and is bound to have kinks. Like someone else said on this forum, we are the guinea pigs. When mine works I absolutely love it, but when it doesn't I want to pitch the whole mess out the window. You have to weigh the pros against the cons. Yes, analogs are much easier but that is the ONLY pro. Stick with it and find one you like. I started with the Pilot M401 and didn't care for it at all. Then I went to the penstyle and love it. In fact I bought 2 more kits for spare parts and assurance it would keep me vaping whenever I wanted to. You can do this. Don't give up.

They will refund you.

I order 16 of them and 1 of the was DOA.

A quick call and the nice lady told me, stick in in an envelope with your name / order no and we will sort it out.

TW are great with customer service.

Sh*t happens dude and these things are not perfect, but much better than the alternative IMHO.

I always have a spare...any thing that replaces the loved/hated analogs needs to be backed up. (250ml's of juice)Right now i have a dse-901b(4 attys,4 battereies,200 blank carts) a Vapor King(soon to have 50 blank carts/atty's. I also pre-ordered a Prodigy from Puresmoker...then i think i am safe lol. after spending 300$ a month on cigs..i see my self as saving 10$ a day...so in 53 days...i should break even. Keep at it, and scrape up the money to keep your fight going!

 

[Kimpetuous]

My sympathies....i just knew it was too simple a solution

Please don't give up, you are worth the effort.

 

[THICKFOG]

Dude, if you can afford to buy a PV from a mall, I think you should be able to scape up enough money for two stamps. Just messing with ya.. Most of the time, just when an atomizer starts to perform the way I like it, bam, it dies on me..I kill them left and right...I use a the 6v mod..you need to order a handful at a time,,,shop around, you can get atomizers for 6 bucks. Then if they go out in a couple of days, oh well. It's still cheaper than smoking cigarettes.

Try out the 510 model (I have a Janty Dura C and a TECC Titan on the way) and these have been the best e cigs I have tried. I started off with the Smoking Everywhere 2.0 *blah* and then after reading a bunch on different models, I decided to check out the DSE901, it was good but it didn't have as good of a throat hit that I though it would. Then I bought the Janty Mini Fogger because I heard a lot of good things about it but that one only did it for me for about a week. I then discovered the Janty Dura C (all in a couple weeks) and am absolutely in love with it. So check out a 510 its definitely worth it.

I don't know why people bash the super minis so much. I got mine from a Smoking Everywhere kiosk and I still use it. Pretty dependable. They just overpriced and the people that run the kiosks are a little shady. I've ordered another super mini set online and it doesn't perform as well as the Smoking Everywhere one. They must be overclocking the battery or something.

General consensus on this forum is that 901s are greater than the minis so I went ahead and ordered one. Since then, I've had issue after issue with them:

- leaking fluid
People say not to suck on it too hard. You have to because the battery's pressure switch gets flaky after some time
- inconsistent parts
I've found out that there's two different mouthpieces and two different batteries. Either the batteries are ultra-sensitive where they go off when you take a step or you have to suck on it hard to activate the pressure switch to activate.
- slipping mouthpieces
each time I top off, I feel the mouth piece get looser and loose until it eventually falls off
- quality issues
I've ordered parts from different distributors and was disappointed with failing atomizers, batteries, etc...

I nearly gave up on e-cigs as well... Not because I didn't like it but because of all the frustrations ordering online.

That was until I got my 510 with the manual battery. It kicks the 901's .... in every way. I use it as my primary device and I use it with a PCC which greatly improves the experience as I don't need to worry about charging all day. My secondary is my Smoking Everywhere which has become my old faithful.

Maybe I should go with the 510. I just dont want to keep spending more and more money. I dont mind buying new atomizers, I just want them to work. The Totally Wicked atomizer I ordered are sort of working, they are just SOOOOOOOOOO weak. Nothing like the real dse901 that I got from the smoke safe. Could you guys say there is a general consensus that the 510 is overall a better e-cig? I just want something semi reliable. I know I will need to buy new parts and what not, but I have 5 atomizers and 5 batteries for the 901 only some of the amtomizers work a little bit. Would I be happier with a 510? I know its subjective but I want to keep vaping and right now im .......

 

[murf43143]

I have had 1 out of 2 atomizers DOA from Totally Wicked also and didn't realize until the 7 days were up... Was kind of sad but they were the only ones in stock at the time for me also... But I did like the logo they had.

TW have a 30 day warranty, don't they?
