| I am not an expert but this is what I've learned, here goes;
-All electronic cigarettes are manufactured in China and all are the same in design.
There is no miracle product.
-They state that a battery will last 3-600 puffs. Not true. If you are a heavy smoker like
I was, you are going to be lucky if a battery lasts 4 hours. Who can count puffs anyway?
-They also tell you a cartridge will last the same as a pack of regular (analog) cigarettes.
They don't, at least not in my experience.
-Many only sell the cartridges and not the e-liquid, so they can keep you coming back for
more. good for them, not for you. If you went that route it could cost you up to $10 a day
to smoke (vape) moderately.
-Since they all come from China and are purchased by the OEM, they payed extra to have
thier brand name printed on the product. You also pay for this.
How to Vape Inexpensively and Effectively
-Batteries
They are the heart of the vaper's kit. No volts no vapors.
Make sure the kit you buy comes with 2 batteries. You may even want to buy a 3rd. Also,
different kits come with different batteries. The key to knowing how long a battery is going
to last is mAh. This stands for Millamp Hours. The pen style should be 280 mAh and the
minis will have from 180 to 220. If the web site doesn't tell you, ask. If you're a heavy
smoker you should defintely keep this in mind.
-Atomizers
From my experience all atomizers work the same and are generally pretty sturdy. This
is really the technology behind vaping. This is how they work. The cartridge contains a
piece of wadding that is saturated with a propylene glycol based liquid. This soaked wadding
is resting on a tiny coil inside the atomizer that heats it to a vapor when you activate a
pressure switch (by drawing) in the battery. (Vaporized PG is also antivirulent bu the way.)
You buy the cartridges presoaked or you buy the liquid and soak them yourself. The latter
is MUCH cheaper and better in my opinion.
-E-Liquid
It comes in many different flavors and nicotine strengths. You can even make your own,
There are lots recipes on the net.You don't need any special cartridges or anything.
Use the ones that came with it. They have resealable caps on them. I would by 10 more
just to have them.
Electronic cigarettes work and they work well. I went from 2+ packs per day to none instantly
and have never looked back. You still get the tactile ceremony you need along with the nice
thick cloud of lovely smoke to manipulate.
Hope this helps.........a
I recommend the dse801 for heavy smokers, and the dse901 for light smokers
P.S. E cigs are not a quit smoking solution. (yeah right)
