(15,626 posts)I've never tried one. But, from what I understand, NONE of them are all that reliable. You can't just buy one and go. You need to have spare parts handy no matter what model you get. Whatever you decide, buy TWO starter kits, not one - you'll be very glad that you have the extra batteries and charger. Get extra atomizers/cartomizers/whatever your model vaporizes the fluid with because they do burn out, and batteries die - I just lost one yesterday. Get trial sizes of a bunch of flavors of e-liquid and find one or two that you really like, but don't forget that your sense of taste will start to change within a few weeks if you stop the cigarettes altogether.
I started with a DSE-901 and I bought what I listed in the other post to begin with. Now I still use a DSE-901 atomizer but with a KR808D-1 battery (they are compatible without an adapter and charge in my DSE-901 chargers). I've tried the KR808D-1 cartomizers and they're OK, many people like them and recommend the KR808D-1 for beginners, but I prefer the atomizer. I wash my atomizers after a day or two of use, depending on which e-liquid I'm using, some of them gunk up the works more quickly than others. I buy e-liquid and fill my own cartridges. I use the Lipton Pyramid type tea bags as filler - I wash them out after I drink the tea and cut them up and each bag fills two cartridges. Lots of people recommend the Joye 510 for beginners, also. I've never tried that one, but it looks fine.
Go to the site www dot e-cigarette-forum dot com. Read and don't be intimidated by the jargon they use like I was! There's a glossary somewhere on the site, I believe. Ask questions. There are also lots of video demonstrations and reviews on Youtube - just search for the model you're interested in. It takes some effort to make a successful go with e-cigs, but for me it was very much worth it. Good luck!
