Updated 7 day Janty Stick review and 510 comparison

[rinkusu]

Excellent reviews Strider... er... Elendil!

Curious, where did you get the butterscotch flavouring for your DIY liquid?

so after 4 hours of use my JS died today :'(!!!!! I took the battery out because it wasn't vaping too well, upon inspection I put it back in and tried to get a hit when I noticed the LED wasn't working. I was quite furious and after looking at it some more I felt the whole thing getting very hot in my palm. I took out the cartridge and smelled melting plastic. I looked inside the ionization chamber and saw that the catridge had slightly melted on the inside. Upon further inspection I saw that even though the LED lights were off, power was still going to atomizer. Just by pushing and releasing the manual switch once, the power to atomizer is continuous until I'm able to get the battery out. Hopefully be returning it tomorrow. I'll probably one day air it as this thing kicks so much ass and I hope I'll get it back by the end of the week :[

If that was directed at me RE: our back/forth on battery life, I apologize, wasn't intending it that way, just trying to clarify, etc. I think the good and bad should *always* be discussed, just sometimes when it's not clear and is a generalization, it can give an incorrect impression to others looking for information. Anyways, if my response RE: battery life was the reason for the above, sorry for any misunderstanding there.. I want an 'all day one battery' small device as well.

No problems weg. Looking at the thread you might have caught a little friendly fire. I guess I was just looking to clarify too.

I think the battery life is because the 801 draws more juice from the battery because it is much bigger than the 510 atty.....5-7 hours on a pretty small battery seems good to me.

At the end of the day,,, the thought of having a cloud of vapor that I've heard about from the 510 makes me gasp....

I'm curious,,, think the stick would stand up to outdoor work situations, like cutting the grass or going out in the woods to cut firewood??

I use it on my garden tractor all the time. Just as good as indoors.

I ordered mine Sunday (so they got the order Monday) and I received it this morning two days later. Love the Janty Stick so far. Got a 901 adapter coming which should give it more flavor. But this thing puts off way more vapor then I need every-time.

I'll have to report back on battery life and longevity of the device in general, but I expect twice the battery life of the reg 901 batteries. Even if not it is like having a fresh battery running at +4.2volts the entire time (not sure what the actual volts at the atty are, but it hits so well maybe that would explain a little shorter battery life than expected). Wonder if the circuit board is turning amps into volts like a 12v inverter.

I think I would guess it is comparable to most cell phones... If you use the piss out of it you will probably need to stick it on a charge before the end of the day. So far I have been using it most of the day (but I am nowhere near a constant vaporer, lol) no signs of the battery dying yet, so I expect to hit it sometime tomorrow with another full charge. But they give you an extra battery and you can get them cheap. I have two-backups that I am not even sure I'll need to use right now. I'll just throw it on usb for a couple of hours each day. On the other hand I will continue to use my regular 901 complete e-cigs along with the Janty so I'll have plenty of batteries and backups anyways.

Anyway, The Janty stick is definitely nice to have as part of your e-cig arsenal and great service from Janty...

Thanks for the information Elendil. I knew just what to expect...

For the record, the switch plate came loose on my JantyStick two weekends ago while I was using it at the beach. Hot. Humid. When I got back home, and pressed the plate back on the unit, it remained in place. Air conditioning. A few days later, I went out with it again. And it came loose.

A few days after that, carrying it in a pants pocket, the entire plate swung free and was hanging by two thin wires. Hot. Humid. So it no longer travels with me and cannot replace the best unit I've ever used -- the Janty Kissbox. The JantyStick is now an air-conditioning-only e-device, with the switch plate once again pressed back into place.

Wonder how it's going to like the hot, muggy St. Louis summers. Probably about as much as I do.

Hi TBob,

For a quick and dirty fix why not wrap a tight rubber band around it? (not over the button!) Then it could accompany you on your travels again.

[franklyspeaking]

That sucks Tbob! Maybe some heat shrink or as e-pipeman suggested a rubber band would get you out with it again. Is this a review stick or did you purchase it? If purchased there is the warranty...
