I have nothing but 901's and I love them. Do I have to "tweak" on them at times - oh yeah sure.
But the one thing I've noticed on this forum is that every model has it's own problems.

Anything made in China with the word "battery" included is going to be trouble sooner or later.

Just search the different models and you'll see complaints about all of them and you'll see people who can't live without a certain model.

I just read everything I could about the experiences of others on the 901's and learned how to tweak them when necessary.

Some batteries don't work with some atty's and some atty's draw harder than others and some batteries last longer than others and some juice clogs the atty's and some juice produces clouds of vapor and other juice knocks the back of your throat out and still others taste like lemon pledge. And on it goes....

Don't feel bad about being frustrated and don't quit on the e-cigs. As a newbie I was frustrated too but I hung in there, learned a lot and have been smoke free for 23 days.

Hang in there johngeetar!!!

Bad planning on my part.

Didn't plan on getting laid.

I have found that e-cigs are such a personal preference thing. In my experience I didn't care for my pen style because it had a hard draw and it seemed that the atomizer would produce less and less vapor as I used it. BUT, I loved mixing all my own juice flavors and the ease of refilling. Because of this I am trying to decide if I want to try a DSE-901 or a 501. I would like to have one like this on hand for when I am bored at home and want to do some great juice mixing experiments.


On the vapor king I just love the vapor production, this thing is amazing! Refilling isn't hard but I am always wondering how long my disposable atomizer is going to hold out. Can I refill it one more time? Will more cartridges be stocked before mine all die? Thats the big fear. It is not as easy to be creative with the juice. If you mix up a flavor you hate it is not so simple to pull the fluff out, rinse and replace with a fresh flavor.

Now, the VK would be perfect for my father. He is the type that would not want to mess with it. Put on a new cartridge and go. He would have given up with the pen style and hated vaping.

So, I think you have to weigh out what you want. Then purchase the product that is best for you. Personally I want it all, so I will end up spending some money until I feel like all my needs are met through one device or several.

I've been using my Screwdriver for two months and haven't had one atomizer go bad, yet.


I would consider you the exception rather than the rule. The screwdriver is a nice idea but I dont like the look of it at all. I want something more compact that doesn't look like...well... a screwdriver. The general consensus seems to be that the manual e-cigs are more reliable, i just wish the auto switch technology was up to par.

Well, maybe we can meet sometime and you can look at it up close. It's no bigger than a 901. All I can tell you is that once you use a Screwdriver and get 8 hours of battery time and throat hit every time you inhale, I just can't see why anyone would want to have the frustration associated with small battery auto switch PV's. If they could ever make an auto switch that performed like the Screwdriver, I would be using it. And being able to get the batteries anywhere and for about $2-$3 instead of $15-$20 is another big advantage.

My theory on my atomizers is that the greater heat with the Screwdriver keeps the coil from as much gunk build up. I do clean my attys every week and let them drain every night.

I had the same problems in my first month of E-smoking, until I bought a Screwdriver.
Solved my problems and helped me quit analogs.

You and I agree completely. I started with the 901 and was able to cut down to 4-8 a day. Once I got my SD, I was able to quit analogs completely. It made all the difference.
