I know that the carts and the atty's are different, but I don't know about the batteries. My DSE gives good flavor, but has such bad cart life that I only use it in the morning and at night. (it sits on my nightstand)

OK, new friend, I will! Welcome to ECF! The 801 is pretty good. It has a large 1.1 ml cartridge that can be purchased with juice, without juice, and user refilled. The battery does not last anywhere near eight hours. vaping heavily, maybe one or two hours. 801 users invest in a bunch of batteries.
Penstyles fit in the pocket, but they don't look much cigarettes, which is arguably a good thing.
I buy my cartridges prefilled and then clean and refill them myself. I get about two hours vaping from a cartridge if I'm sitting and staring at the computer, but I got through some yardwork this weekend and only used two all day yesterday.
You can also drip an 801.
Throat hit with an 801 is mysterious. Some juices hit great. Some don't, and it doesn't just follow the nic concentration. I had some Turkish 24 that really kicked, and I have some cherry 36 that does not. The 801 is capable of a sharp throat hit, but it won't do it with wimpy smoke juice.
As for a purchase, do a Google search for "DSE801" and you'll find lots of places selling them. Batteries should be $10 to $15 and atomizers about $10.50 to $20 ($20 is a little high). A new kit should be $60 or less, and the merchant should include an extra atomizer if they want the brownie points and customer good will. Branded kits, with a merchant standing behind it with a warranty, go for about $100.

901 smaller diameter than an 801. I would say Eliquidplanet.com or GoodProphets.com or Nhaler.com. They are the best guys i can think of in the NY,NJ,PA area that I have dealt with. Lots of choices on e-cigs and great juice.Check the Master Coupon List for these sites,you may get a deal.Obviously if you want the best PRICES and want to wait a bit..EASTMALL.com in china..the prices are great on equipment and large volumes of juice.

One thing to know about a warranty is that from a "generic" retailer you probably can get at least an extra battery and atty with your starter kit for the same price as a branded company. I always put "generic" in quotes because all of these come from the same factories in china so there really isn't a difference besides packaging and brand names on the product. 
I also like my Janty Kissbox pentyle device and use it everyday. It makes good vapor and really brings out the flavor of my juices. The manual switch allows me to tailor the vapor production to my needs. Battery life is mediocre and parts are expensive. The one year warranty makes the initial up-front cost reasonable.
DSE801's mostly have 4-hole atomizers so the draw is more like a straw than the 901. Many have stated that unless you DIY your liquid, you don't get as much flavor in the 801. And when I had one, battery life was about 3 hours. But the cart is bigger. I agree with those who suggested the manual switch/larger battery PV's. Overall, they are by far the best performing PV's made. Here are some links:

I've tried most of the ecigs and have made my own manual PVs with different voltages. I now seem to like the 510 with a manual switch and a bigger battery or a passthrough. It gives me enough vapour, taste and throat hit. The only thing I don't like with it is the round cart. But you could force a 901 cart in it, too.
well i am a noob , been vaping about 3 weeks, after much research i went with the dse901, for ease of use, and i get great performance. 3 batteries and a pass-thru means i never am without power. yes i have to top up the carts often, but no big deal. it gives me a break. i get great throat hits and lots of vapor on 24mg. made my first 2 orders from myvaporstore.com, i think they are out of new york, anyway , i like them cause i got my stuff 2 days after ordering, i am impatient. i just ordered some 36 juice and a couple more batteries from eastmall, still waiting for a slow boat from china. looking forward to the end of the month when myfreedomsmokes starts selling 48 juice. there are tons of suppliers and lots of different e-cigs out there, all have good points and bad.
i am trying to use the e-cig for healh reasons, i'm sure you will find something that suits your needs here on the forum. just do some research and keep asking questions, thats what i did

I don't think battery life is particularly relevant as a criticism of mini ecigs. I carry two EVOs with me - giving me an effective battery life of about 10 hours or more.
This is also cheaper to do than most mods, takes up less space and gives me a spare atomiser.
Also if you get the 510 then the PCC also renders the longer battery life of mods a moot point. The only reason to really go with mods is for performance reasons.

The last line of your post IS the point. If you want the most consistent and BEST performing PV, then get a Screwdriver, Prodigy, Janty Stick, etc.
