e-Cigarettes - Electronic Cigarettese - e-Cigarette-Blog.com

We all know that the original Ruyan, Kissbox Classic, and Njoy e-cigarettes are namely one of the best e-cigarette in the market today.

Despite the differences in price, how did we figure out if one is better then the other, when most e-cigarettes generally have the same appearance?

The answer is simple. It’s because the components(mainly the atomizer) differ in quality for every brand.

But what about mini e-cigarettes? They are also another form of e-cigarettes.

We had many users on this forum who purchased cheap mini e-cigs, namely from eBay and dealextreme for about $30-40 USD, complaining about it’s performance.

And because of these priceless experiences, I think the whole forum here have a general impression that the mini e-cigarettes suck. In fact, they tend to bash on all mini e-cig retailers without even having a first hand experience.

But here is the truth. There are dozens of different manufactures for mini e-cigarettes, and the quality can differ for every brand, just like the classic e-cigarette. We can’t assume all mini e-cigarettes are the same.

And so today, I will give you everything I know about the mini e-cigarettes. (Mainly the DSE series)

The first mini e-cigarette to ever hit the market are the DSE-901 series. (picture below)

This particular model suffers from a somewhat big length, however it draws a plenty of smoke, quite stable model for a first generation.

The DSE-901 series are still manufactured, and you can easily spot find in many resellers.

One company that specializes in this particular model is http://www.e-cig.com
You can also find them at http://www.supersmokeronline.nl, http://e-cigs.co.uk

The second generation of mini e-cigarette to hit the market are the DSE-902 series.

This model has some improvements over the first generation, mainly the shorter atomizer, and it’s thinner body.

But because of it’s thinner body, the battery is much longer which still results into length problems. It is also very hard to inhale on this device.

You can’t really buy this product anymore as there seems to be no manufacturing going on for DSE-902. However there is another brand to DSE series known as the Health brand, which can be found on http://www.ebay.com and http://www.dealextreme.com for about $30-$40 USD

Be aware that the health brand has serious quality control issues, and the cartridges taste awfully bad. It’s one of the lowest quality devices you can buy. If you are serious about e-smoking, avoid this at all cost.

The third model to hit the market is the codename DSE-901, DSE-101, or the v9

This model improved on all areas, mainly fixing the design flaws of last 2 generations.
It has a smaller battery, and even a smaller atomizer that sits inside the mouth piece.
The length of this model is usually 100mm, and 89mm length version is also out there.

However, there is still a problem with this product. The cartridges are too small, allowing on about 60 puffs, and the atomizer gets burnt if smoked with an empty cartridge. It also draws less smoke then the DSE-902 series.

This product can be found all over the web. It is the most common e-cigarette up to date.
Some websites include http://www.cigstar.co.uk/, http://http://smartfixx.com//, http://e-cigs.co.uk

And then, there is the newest, and the best mini e-cigarette, the DSE-103.

In appearance, this model looks just like the DSE-101. However, the cartridge and the mouthpiece are now a one part.
This particular model holds more liquid, and a new improved atomizer that draws more smoke, and does not burn like the DSE-101. This is the BEST mini e-cigarette model out there.

This particular model can be found at http://www.minicigarette.net and http://www.loongtotem.com

And there it is, everything you need to know about the mini e-cigarette series. Keep in mind that there maybe companies out there that uses it’s own proprietary components. Mini e-cigarette is still a developing technology, and maybe not as stable as the classic e-cigarette. But if you can buy the latest models such as the DSE-103, you shouldn’t be facing too much troubles.

I hope my contribution of knowledge can enlighten the users here for the enjoyment of mini e-cigarettes.|||i rather like the dse901.. longer yes but all the ones i have tried and i have tried many produce plenty of smoke.. e-cig.com dont sell them by the way they sell their own not very good one off type.. it dosnt produce much smoke and gets loads of liquid in the mouth it also has an odd size thread.. e-cig seem to do their own thing and sometimes not very well.. their mini being a good example..

nice history of mini development thow..

trog|||Thanks for a very complete post. I’m one of those who bought a cheap Health mini-cig from DealExtreme. I still use it every once in awhile, but it’s dreadfully inadequate and obviously poorly made. I now have a much better e-cig — but would love a Loong Totem. Good post.|||Wow, where did you come from? Excellent post!!! 8-)|||Nice post; I hadn’t seen the DSE-103. The atomizer and cartridge are basically like the Janty Yentyl. The key, though is how easy the batteries are to suck on.

Just a couple quibbles, though; you left out the RN4081:
[attachment=2:30194zb8]RN4081_cigarette_with_6_cartridges_package.jpg[/attachment:30194zb8]

It’s basically the same as the DSE101, but the cartridge and the inside end of the mouthpiece are slightly modified to reduce the liquid in the mouth problem. And they have an easier draw than the DSE101 I’ve tried. You can distinguish it visually from the 101 or 103 because the battery has circular bands around it, instead of lengthwise stripes.

I would also disagree with characterizing the DSE901 as having low density smoke. The 901 I’ve got is a powerhouse, and OD’s me quickly. :mrgreen:|||Thanks for the information of RN4081. I’ve never knew a such model existed.|||Very interesting and informative post, added to the FAQ, thanks!

SJ|||Great job!!

I got a super-mini last week from ebay http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?…MEWN:IT&ih=006 and didn麓t know if it was an early model or a "state of the art" one

Now I know it麓s codename is DSE-901, DSE-101, or v9. Here with a Sedansa for comparing sizes:

By the way, I found the taste of those cartridges awful (haven麓t tried menthol ones yet)

Thank you very much for bringing light to this mess of manufacturers |||Of the 5 minis that I’ve tried, the RN4081 is the best I’ve used. LOTs of smoke. Good tasted. Reliable, as long as there’s a fresh battery in it. I got it from ecigsshop.com, and it’s up there as the 100mm Ultra Mini.|||I also have to agree.

The DSE101 is not a good product. It has low smoke, and cannot handle many draws at once.

However, the DSE901 is an excellent product with crazy smoke, but the length is too long.

The DSE103 is the perfect product in my opinion. I bought this model from minicigarette.net, and it’s like having the DSE901 satisfaction with the DSE101 looks.two words… Suppliers ForumDoes anybody know where you can get the DSE-103 in the UK?

I believe the one I have is a DSE-103, but it’s unbranded so it’s hard to be sure.

I wanted to get another one for my partner, and we may as well have the same kind so we have interchangeable carts and parts. I’ve looked at both pillbox38 on ebay and the new e-cigs.co.uk but they only seem to have the other DSE models.

I’m pretty sure someone is selling them, or I wouldn’t have a free sample one, just can’t find who it is!

Cheers if anybody knows!I got a DSE901 over at puresmoker and wanted to buy a second cig for my brother in law. Him and his wife are Marlburo light smokers and wanted to introduce them to the best $50 can buy brand.

I was going to get them a couple 901’s like mine but stumbled accross e-liq which I think is the california based partner to e-cig (I think?). Which as an earlier poster pointed out, does there own thing, and doesnt advertise there model numbers.

Is the new miniCig cartridges taste okay? I really didnt want to indtro them to dripping just yet and wated to keep it super simple and give them a look/feel/color that there used to.

HELP! I NEED SOME TRUTH!
