Video review of the Havana e-cigar from litecigusa

Okay... my opinion on the differences (and I also may do a comparison review of the 2) is that the 701 gets a bit more vapor than the 4062, but if everytime I open a cart the stuffing is left in the tube.. it is too annoying to use!

I am using zero nic now and that makes it less worrisome to get juice all over when I have to get the stuffing out of the tube... but still very sticky and annoying.

The arch for the atomizer in the 701 looks like a true 901 arch (pointy and VERY narrow) whereas the 4062 is a very wide and flat arch. That is why the 701 stuffing falls out. The arch actually sticks INTO The wick (not just touches... sinks INTO) and so when you TWIST the cart to pull it off it wraps the polyfil around the atomizer arch and then you pull the cart out and the stuffing stays behind. It is like twirling spaghetti on a fork!

So... although a bit more vapor with 701.. I am prob gona stick with 4062 from now on.

Both of mine supernova'd and had to be cleaned with rubbing alcohol... but only one still works now (4062). The other is still in supernova mode. Gona clean it with alcohol again and see if it will "unstick" the switch... otherwise I am gona try to mod it for manual use if I can get someone to hold a flashlight steady enough to see inside it!!!

Spikey, when cleaning them in alcohol, try sucking & blowing through the reset hole a few times as well after it's dried out. See, in mine the DSE701 is the fatter wider atomizer and the RN4062 is the thinner one.

Like I say in the reviews, the easiest fix with the carts is to pull them out, wash & dry them, and hot glue them back into the cart. Works like a charm.

Wow.. I only used one of the 701's (I bought 4 of them lol!) and didn't realize that this whole time.. I thought the 701 was the 4062 and vice versa! You are right.. the pointy one is the 4062.

Okay.. so i have no idea why the 701 is ripping the stuffing out.. but I did glue 2 or 3 carts and the atomizer still pulls fuzz OFF of it and then fries it giving the atomizer a burnt taste every once in a while if I vape it too dry.

I did notice that while the carts seem to be interchangeable without leaking.. the battery caps are NOT interchangeable and the batteries are diff voltage but seem to be interchangeable. I did have that same battery lighting up problem with one of mine that was stuck in supernova, but when I changed batteries to a fresh battery it seemed to fix the problem. Try a fully charged one before you return it.

I did stick a paperclip with alcohol through the reset hole a few times while cleaning it (and a totthpik soaked in alcohol) and it still did not unstuck it :(

Leaving for Vegas Friday... will be there Sat-next Wed/Thurs so will PM u my # if ya wana come hang one night!

The filler falls out because it wasn't glued in properly at the factory. They didn't use enoguh glue. If you pull the filler out of the 4062 and look at it compared to the 701 you will see that not only is there a lot less glue, but the material is different as well.

I'm gonna do my best to hook up with you for a bit.

I got my 701 last week and it had plumes of vapor right out of the box. I was so impressed with it that I ordered another right away.Do you think the manutfacturer makes them in different lots and there is a slight difference every time? The second one also has tons of vapor right out of the box. Both boxes are the deluxe set with a lot of carts. I'm trying to find the exact flavor of the original carts because its the best tasting to me. Does anyone know it? They taste like Hav-a-tampas to me. I was surprised at figureheads video because I got them from litecig also and my vapor was similar to the SD. Maybe they came from different lots like I suspect.

To me this is not a good review. Not the review it's self but the product.
1 dead out of five is unacceptable and the vapor production is poor for a cigar. A cigar is something that i would want to give away for a gift. A good chance to someone that has no experience with any e-cig products. For the filling to be coming out every time would not be a thing that a non user would want to see or deal with. I am a 901 fan and am surprised at the end results here. I am wondering if these are a true slb product or not??? The vapor production along with the cheaper price tag for a dse over a Rn leads me to believe that these are a clone. Not saying that litecig is trying to slip a mickey to anyone but the performance i see from this video gets me wondering if these are dse clones. I sure would like to see some numbers off the atty on one of these to see if it has the SLB stamp? Figurehead, Do you see any numbers?? The newer 901 attys have a higher bridge on them. Was wondering if the atty was a original design for the cigar or a 901 addy.

I assure you these are TRUE DSE701s and NOT clones or immitations.

I need to do another review because the one that was "dead" or blinking actualy came right back to life and is now my PRIMARY device. The only thing I can find wrong with it was that some of the priming juice gummed up the insides. Before I got ready to ship it back for a replacement I had it sit on end for about 4 days, then I went to try it again and WOW! BAM! Worked like a champ and no more blinking. I then contacted Shawn at litecigusa and told him to not bother replacing it because it works just fine now. As a matter of fact, ALL of these I got from Shawn at litecigusa are working like champs!

I HIGHLY recomend these. The ONLY problem is the filler in the carts, and as I have said plenty of times, that is an easy fix.

Ihave had 4 RN4062s (from another supplier) and kept 2 of these DSE701s from litecigusa for myself and got family members the other 3. The ONLY difference is the matter of a few dollars, the DSE701s are a miniscule bit bigger because of the LED battery cover being slightly more domed, and the break in period of a few hours as opposed to the straight out of the box performance of the RN4062.

I HIGHLY recomend these. Also, as I can tell you, Shawn is very fast to take care of ANY problems. I have spoken to him on the phone, through e-mails and PMs, and he is ALWAYS very fast to reply. I have always been happy with his customer service and would be willing to say that he's going to be as big as Puresmoker very, very soon. He better hire more help! LOL!

OK, If you can't see any numbers it's cool. I was just a bit surprised at the poor vapor production that I saw in the video. The filling coming out of the cart without being singed by the atomizer was puzzling to me. So it is just getting caught on the bridge of the atty? Even if this is the case, It's not a good first impression for the newbie.
