Narrative review: This is an absolutely outstanding e-cig, with only one real flaw. The vapor is a perfect 5, easily the equal of my high water mark, the Sedansa. And the draw is also a perfect 5, as smooth as sipping water through a straw. There is a slight windy sound, not quite high pitched enough to call it a whistle, but it’s not very loud, and there’s no gurgling sound. All in all as good an atomizer as I could ask for.

The batteries are a bit of a weak spot though. The battery life is average for a penstyle battery, anywhere from 3 hours to 6 hours, depending on use. The weakness is in the switch, which tends to fade in and out while you’re drawing steadily on it. I had to take a point off for that, but I should note that that’s pretty common with the SE-101/JOYE302 model, and not just Janty’s.

On the other hand, the fading seems to prevent the auto-cutoff, so I was tempted to add a point back in. The auto-cutoff, when you do get it, is the normal 2 or 3 seconds, and the LED blinks throughout the cutoff period, which I think is a nice feature. Other than the fading issue, the switch is very responsive, with no delay after you start to draw. And the LED is bright and nicely visible from the smokers perspective.

The overall reliability and performance is outstanding, I haven’t had any issues with leaking or bad drags. And the appearance and build quality is outstanding. The paint job is nice, with no mars in the finish, and it comes in blue and red besides the usual black and white. The Janty logo is small and discrete, and looks nice on the brass tone band.
In summary, the Janty classic is an outstanding e-ciggarette, with tons of vapor and an easy draw. Battery life is average, with a quickly responsive switch and a bright LED. It has a tendency to fade in out, but that doesn’t usually affect vapor production, and does seem to prevent auto-cutoff. I give it a 4.75 average, and can highly recommend it.

Excelent review Leaford!!! I would like to see a review of Janty Yentl Kissbox and the M401 e-cigarette. Thank you for the demo!

[leaford]

I've got a review of the M-401 coming soon. So stay tuned for that.

The KISSboxes are on my to-do list, and I intend to get to them soon, but I have a few others to get to first.

[SMILIN]

Leaford, I agree 100%, I have 6 so far, and just ordered another 6, with extras, these are Da Bomb Thanks again for the guidance, and hope to be able to repay ya soon. I may be getting into da bizonly time will tell.

Pray tell, what is the M-401?

[Kate]

You and Mike do great reviews Leaford. You need a decent microphone though, I can never hear you.

Excellent write up too, very informative. Thanks.

I want one now, it sounds and looks good.

Are the atomisers compatible with Kissbox switches?

[Bond, James Bond]

Thank you Leaford,
I love your videos

[Kate]

I've just had a look at the Janty Europe site and it appears that the Classic and the Kissbox Classic parts are compatable. The atomisers are the same price but come in different colours. Is there a difference in performance or are they essentially the same atomiser?

[leaford]

I think the Classic atomizer IS better. My KB never gives this much vapor. Well, not consistantly at least.Oh, and yeah, it's KB compatible. I meant to put that on the compatibility lasts.

[SMILIN]

I think the Classic atomizer IS better. My KB never gives this much vapor. Well, not consistantly at least.

Leaf, I believe the Kissbox classic, and the classic are the same atomizers, 1 has regukar battery, and other comes with the switches

[Kate]

The atomisers for the Classic and Kissbox Classic are the same price in Europe and different prices in the US. I'm not sure which is the one reviewed, if it's a new batch or design the same as the Kissbox or if it's a different design. Maybe there is some old stock to be shifted somewhere and not everyone will get an atomiser like the one Leaford reviewed.

I'd like to get my hands on one of those atomisers but I don't want to risk buying an old design or something.

I've left a question for Ludo, maybe he can tell us what's what.
