Thanks Neon. My 601 should be arriving any day now and I'm really looking forward to trying it! Hope my 555 taste doesn't get lost in the vape haze!
Does anyone know what would cause the "bowl" to develope a split in it? I dont remember dropping it or anything...Also there is a taste that appeared that reminds me a glue burning...has anyone experienced this?
It is only about a month old...
I've had mine for a 2-3 weeks and loved (yes, ed) it. Last week it started to come and go, sometimes needing a gentle slap to start, then it would be fine for that session. Next use, same thing, slap and go. When it was working though, it was great. I loved driving and just light puffs with an occasional long vapor inducing drag, good stuff.
Then, today happened. I grabbed it while driving, full cart and charged battery and: NOTHING. No matter what I did, NOTHING. What bothers me is that to replace the atomizer you are for all practical purposes, replacing the pipe. At $30.00 +/-, it gets pricey. I came onto the the forum to see if any one has had any luck at dismantling the 601 pipe and repairing it.
I will say, that when it was working I absolutely loved it. Decent flavor, great vapor and depending on the liquid, good throat hit. I am very disappointed in the internal quality which sucks as the outside is great. I have to question quality control, but that goes for most of the vaping equipment, in my opinion.
dse-ecigarette.com have very fine prices. I got dse601 atomizers for $29.90.
As mentioned I bought 4. One of them was scratched and burned out after 3hrs; but they will send me a new one, after I have the retruned mine.
So not so bad. I will definitely buy from them again.
Now hoping for them to send the new one, before they got mine back. Else it could take a very long time to get the new.
As mentioned, I also bought a Ruyan Pipe. A very nice pipe with a lot of taste but not so much vapor as the DSE601. So I will still use DSE601 for daily use.
Glad to hear you got good service. I have heard that the Ruyan produces less vapor but does not mute flavors like the 601. Any opinion on that?
not many people own a 601....maybe its a conservative piece of equipment
i dont know...i just want one.....large cart...better battery....ton of vapor...looks classic
i was hoping mine would come in today so i can do my initial review this weekend...sadly not here

Dane...Do you know what type battery the pipe takes? I'd like to get some spares. Also..any news on the new model dse 1601/pizipe? Thanks in advance!!
So, after a few days with my 601, I can basically concur with everything I've read here. It's an absolutely beautiful machine... I love the weight of it, the qualityof the wood, and the overall kit (minus the charger, which is very flimsy). It seems as though EM took a test puff on it with the included "tob" cart (unless they prime with drops of it) which to me tasted disgusting. Vaping my 555 through that crap is still in process.
Faults are what I expected after reading most of this subforum....primarily juice delivery. The carts suck up an insane amount of liquid, but don't deliver that juice consistently. I tried a small drill hole in the back of one cart, which soon flooded, and had me trying to angle/balance the pipe at different angles... not optimal.
Right now I am actually having the best luck just dripping without a cart, as I can hear any gurgling caused by too much juice and angle it up/back to get a great vape, and as it dries out, angle it down/forward to get a great vape. Thus, aside from having to do the dripping, I'm finally getting great vapes! I guess old-school tobacco pipe smokers used to have to mess with their tobacco, bowls and stems all the time (humidifying, filling, tamping, ashing, scraping, resin cleaning) so I'm trying to look at it as simulating the OG pipe smoking ritual/s.
My only concern at this point is that this is already an ancient model/design (I have seen posts on it from late 2008...which is the paleolithic era of vaping) and that the self-juicing, great tasting, drainable, atty changable, auto/manual select "DSE 1601 E-Pizipe" will be released any day now. I guess that's as much a concern as a wish.
I bought some spares from Ebay. Search "Ultrafire 18350". Mine price was $28 for 4 pcs. 1200mAh and one 1 double charger.
I don't know anything about a new model. Where have you seen it?
Did the "button" on top of the battery cause any problems? The 3.7v batteries that came with my 601 have a dimple on top that fits the top contact.
