Vape, hope this is OK to post this here.
(This isn't really a review. More like a FYI.)
I just wanted to let everyone know where I got my penstyle ecig. I'm not sure if it is an 801 or a 4072. My unoffical measurement is 156mm. There are no markings on the atomizer like my DSE-901 has (SLB; which signifies that is made by
Sailebao. So, it is probably a 4072. The battery, however, is marked with SH08098. Which I suppose could also be read as 86080HS?!
Anyway, I bought it off eBay from seller
eminiroyal or
http://www.theindoorcigarette.com. They call it the "Royal Pen". I just purchased one atomizer, one battery and the wall charger. Total was under $30. And since I drip, I didn't need any carts. The atomizer does come with an empty cart (no foam though).
For the price, it is a decent pen. The atomizer had a funky taste at first, but it went away after about a days uses. (A plastic/metal taste). It will still taste kinda funky when the juice gets low, but 2 to 3 drops lasts me almost twice as long as my 901. It as a nice easy draw and I have actually found that the lighter you draw the better the vapor (and throat hit). Battery lasts pretty much my entire work day (8a-5p; about 8 analogs), but I normally like to use it at night when I am on my computer.
Another advantage is has over my 901 is that the atomizer doesn't get as hot as quickly. I can take 10 or more quick consecutive drags and still get great flavor and vapor. Whilst with my 901, after about 5 consecutive tokes the atomizer gets too hot and I have to let it cool down.
For someone wanting to try a penstyle, I would recommend this one; with the caveat about the atomizer tasting funky. One other note is that it is not always predictable. Sometimes you take a drag and get little or no vapor. This could be my fault by not priming it or taking too hard of a drag. I do have to say it has gotten better with time.
I would like to find another 'el cheap-o pen to compare to this, so if anyone else has found a good place, drop a post and let us know.
Thanks and happy toking.
