Christopher Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 An E-Cig Guide by Christopher from Vaportalk.com So your new to ecigs and you keep hearing "RN this and 801 that, Peewee this and Pilot that!" Which is what?! Suppliers order ecigs from China, they then rebrand them and sell them online and give them a cute name. (Some even give the ecig a pretty box) So sit down children class has started! This guide will help get you acquainted with the various models their numbers and their "nicknames". Model Numbers There are three popular model letters RN DSE JOYE They are different manufactures but they all make the same thing. Sort of like Ford, Chevy and Chrysler etc all make cars. Got it? Good So what's better? Well that depends on who you ask. Some say RN models perform better others say DSE models work better. It really depends on who you talk to. At the end of the day it's up to you to decided. Electronic Cigarette Models with Pictures and Corresponding Model Numbers The "Penstyle" Known As: RN4072, DES801, Penstyle, NCIG, Sedansa, Puresmoker, Generic Penstyle Info: This is the first generation ecig. This baby started it all. It's known to be robust and Reliable. Price: $30-$150 Avarage Price is usually $50.00 "The Mini" Known As: DSE-901, DSE-901b, Sedansa Nano I. Why no RN model? It doesn't exist. This is usually only known as the DSE901, hence the reason whenever the model number DSE is mentioned people automatically think of this model. Info: 2nd Generation. Usually has one hole on the side. Price: $30-$150 Avarage Price is usually $50.00 "The SUPER Mini"- Boy do they like to use the word mini Known As: RN4081, DSE103, NPRO, Peewee, Smokingeverywhere, Supermini Info: 3rd Generation. This little guy put ecigs on the map! This model is usually known as the "Peewee" popularized by a company call Puresmoker. It is in fact called a Supermini. Price: $30-$150 Avarage Price is usually $50.00 "The M401" Known As: M401, Intellicig, Pilot and Hybrid. (By the way Pilot Hybrid just uses a longer battery) Info: Often called the "Pilot" its actually a model M401 respectively. And yes it's the same thing. Distinctive with it's raised atomizer. Price: $30-$150 Avarage Price is usually $50.00 "Joye 510" Known As: Joye510, Janty Dura Info: The Joye 510 or "510" for short, has some of the best vapor production on the market, it has a short battery life however the massive vapor makes up the batteries down fall. (You wouldn't expect great gas mileage from a Ferrari would you?) They are known to be durable and well built, although the 510 did have a rough start when the first production units had battery issues which of course have since been fixed. The 510 was popularized with the Manual Battery which contains a switch on the site needed to active the atomizer (heating element). The advantage to the manual switch is the durability of the battery when using your own liquid. The hole inside the battery which is normally open to allow for air flow is no longer need and is sealed closed. This stops liquid from entering the battery and clogging up the sensor switch inside. The 510 is Vapor Talk Staff's choice ecig. Price: $30-$150 Avarage Price is usually $60.00 This is an ongoing project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genet1c Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hey chris,quick thing I wanted to point out if ur remaking this guide. The dse103 is different than most super mini models out there. Its 103mm long, compared to 98-101mm. And the stripes on it are vertical. So im not positive, but I believe it's different than the rn4082. Also, Ive heard vapor production and battery life is a LOT better. And the dse103 has a high bridge on the atomizer, compared to being insside a little casing. Thats an old pic of my batteries. So you can see the stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
