DSE901 Electric Cigarette Starter Kit User's Guide
The instructions that come with your DSE901 Electric Cigarette Starter Kit are, to say the least, not very good. Hopefully, this brief outline for using your DSE901 starter kit will be easier to understand.
Charging the Batteries of Your DSE901 Electric Cigarette
Although many people believe that a brand new electric cigarette battery should be completely charged before it is used for the first time, this is not based upon any known sound electronic theory as it relates to lithium ion batteries. We always recommend charging a completely drained battery, whether it is the battery's first charge or subsequent charges; therefore, we recommend using all electric cigarette batteries right out of the box. Keep in mind, however, that the factory frequently only puts a minimum charge in the batteries to test them before shipping and that the vapor from an electric cigarette battery that is not fully charged may not be optimal. A fully charged electric cigarette battery will always supply better current and will produce better vapor than a battery that is not fully charged. To charge your DSE901 electric cigarette batteries:
- Attach the AC power cord to the flat end of the U-shaped charging box.
- Plug the cord into a working AC outlet (the light on your charging box should turn green).
- Screw the threaded side of your DSE901 battery (the longest piece in your DSE901 Electric Cigarette Starter Kit) into the hole on the curved side of the U-shaped charging box. Please do not screw it in too tightly (this could damage the charging unit and/or battery). The LED light on the tip of your DSE901 battery should flash a few times and the LED on the U-shaped charging box should turn red.
- If this is the first time you are charging this battery, leave it on the charger for at least 8 hours. Subsequent charges should be at least an hour to an hour and a half.
NOTE: The first time you charge a battery, the LED indicator on the charger will turn green long before the battery is fully charged. Ignore the light and leave each battery on the charger for a minimum of 8 hours. After that initial charge, the LED indicator is usually fairly reliable at notifying you when a battery is fully charged for regular between use charges.
Assembling Your DSE901 Electric Cigarette
- Screw the battery (the longest piece in your DSE901 Electric Cigarette Starter Kit) onto the atomizer (the piece that is roughly 1/2 the size of the battery and the only piece that will screw into it). Just screw the two pieces together to the point that the atomizer comes to a stop. Do not screw the two pieces together too tightly; this could damage the post inside of the battery.
- Unwrap one of the five pre-filled cartridges from it's plastic packaging, remove the protective cap and push the end where the plastic cap was onto the atomizer (the open end that is not screwed onto the battery).
- Your DSE901 is now assembled and ready for use.
Using Your DSE901 Electric Cigarette
All of our DSE901 electric cigarette starter kits come with automatic batteries, which means there is a microprocessor in the battery that senses when you are inhaling. The battery automatically activates and powers the atomizer, generating heat to vaporize the liquid in the cartridge. While it is true that an automatic battery is great for using your electric cigarette hands free, automatic battery electric cigs are also a bit more difficult for brand new users of e cigarettes to get the hang of.
Everyone smokes regular cigarettes differently and the same is true of electric cigarettes. What may work for one person does not work as well for another. The method that we have found that works the best for the majority of people is to draw as lightly as you can on your DSE901 while still keeping the battery activated. This allows the airflow to slowly move from the atomizer to the liquid in the cartridge and gives it time to vaporize. Drawing really hard on an e cigarette is counter productive; the air rushes past the e juice so quickly, that it does not have time to heat it.
If you are new to electric cigarettes, sometimes it is best at the beginning to vape opposite a mirror or reflective surface so that you can see that the LED at the tip of your DSE901 electric cigarette is lit and is supplying the atomizer with power. Soon, you will become accustomed to the proper amount of suction (for lack of a better term) that works best for you.
Filling Your DSE901 Electric Cigarette Cartridges with E Juice
E Juice is an essential component in creating vapor. When a cartridge dries out, it puts out little to no vapor and every drag begins to taste like you are "smoking" a sock. If you did not purchase a bottle of e liquid with your DSE901 Electric Cigarette Starter Kit, you will go through the cartridges that come supplied with the kit very quickly. You can purchase e cig juice here!
If you planned ahead and purchased a bottle of e juice, you can "top off" a cartridge you are using or you can fill a completely unfilled cartridge. This is, by far, the most cost effective way of vaping and also the way that gives users complete control of the flavor and vapor output of their DSE901 electric cigarette.
- Topping Off Your DSE901 Electric Cigarette Cartridge: Topping off a previously filled DSE901 electric cigarette cartridge is easy. Remove the cartridge from the atomizer and look down at the gauzy filler material from the side that was connected to the atomizer (the big hole side). Simply add one drop at a time until it looks like a "slushy." When adding drops, remember:
- If it still looks like a piece of gauze, it needs at least one more drop.
- If it looks like a small pond, there is one drop too many (not a big deal).
- If it looks like a "slushy," it is perfectly filled.
- Filling a Brand New Unfilled DSE901 Electric Cigarette Cartridge: You can use the same method described above for filling a brand new DSE901 electric cigarette cartridge. Unfortunately, it takes awhile for the e-liquid to travel all the way to the bottom of a completely dry cartridge and you may get a few "false slushies" while the air bubbles work their way out and the liquid makes its way all the way to the mouthpiece side of your electric cigarette. The best way to fill a brand new DSE901 electric cigarette cartridge is to use a paper clip or pair of tweezers and remove the gauzy filler from the cartridge. Then, fill the empty plastic tube about 3/4 of the way and gently push the gauze back down into the cartridge tube on top of the e juice you just put into it. You can then top off the cartridge, adding one drop at a time until it looks like a "slushy." If you were a bit overzealous and put too much liquid in, you can mop up any excess liquid that might ooze out with a paper towel.
