I'm starting to wonder, seriously. When I first got my penstyle and carts from NJOY, they vaped real well. I have been refilling my carts and it seems there it is only vapes real well at a certain nicotine level in the cart. It could be the juice? Dun no. I'd just like to get a good vape all the time.

I'm glad you mentioned "small" in the fortune.

My first e-cig was an NPRO also. I had terrible problems with battery life right out of the box, and one of my batteries didn't even work. I had to contact NPRO which promptly sent replacements within 2 business days, which was cool. Even after that the batteries only really lasted around 2 hours a piece. The carts from NJOY are a terrible rip off... and I'm glad I found the totally wicked site, (and this forum for that matter) or I would have been paying up the ass for carts from NJOY and not know any better.

I kept getting pissed off my batteries would run out, so I went to my local smokeshop to see if they carried anything e-cig related. Sure enough they had a similar model (I think it was the actual model, RN4080 just not the NPRO name) I used those untill the atomizers died. Luckily the next day my DSE 901 from totally wicked came in the mail. I've heard from many people that TW does not sell real DSE 901's ... and maybe that would make sense because the supposed 901 I got was absolutely terrible. Thin, wispy vapor, 2hr battery time, terrible cart life, and leaky carts. It wasn't untill I started dripping onto the atomizer that I got enen a half-way decent hit.

Anyway, I'm waiting for the TECC 510 Titan from Joytech to come in the mail... anyday now from Totally Wicked's UK site. Hopefully that one will prove worthy. I went ahead and ordered a few atomizers for the RN4080 just because they're cheap, and good for back-up since I have the batteries, chargers and thousands of empty carts to fill.

I own 4 units(3 npro's and 1 n-=cig-penstyle) out of those eight batteries 4 HAVE FAILED, both units vape great, although the npro carts dont last long. I emailed NJOY on my penstyle-but no reply in 4 days. The NCIG pen is my fav, but only lasted a week or so, now its dead. I really miss it.

Bottom Line, expensive, unreliable

Well not really.. when you add up all the replacements you get under the warranty it eventually would have cost you nothing but the shipping.

Default NJOY- Not for Long

Well, I selected NJOY AND PAID TWICE WHAT THE UNITS ARE WORTH, because I did not want the hassle of constant exchanges failures etc.. I wrongly assumed that a "premier" brand would lend itself to better reliability. From my experience, the extra money paid goes into their pockets , not into better QC, yes I realize I could spend MORE money for shipping and get replacements. Next time I'll buy a cheap unit with 4 extra atomizers and 5 extra batteries and avoid the hassle at the same cost.

Thanks for the feedback

Igetcha, it was your review that pushed me to the Npro, you were happy with it so I figured I would be too. I have been happy with the unit all in all- some odd battery behavior (getting stuck on, etc) but nothing that can't be worked around. All in all the vapor production has been excellent with amazing throat hit. Thank you!


I ordered some extra atomizers elsewhere (about $6.00 ea) and will probably stock up on a few extra batteries as well. I also decided to get a generic pen style as well as a Dura-C to test with.

(forum noob can't post URL)

(forum noob can't post URL)

Could folk with experience of owning and using this device chip in here and say what you think about it please?

How does it compare with other devices?
How durable is it?
How easy to maintain is it?
Etc.

Thanks very much.

1) IMHO, a HIGH eliquid appears to works as a MEDIUM eliquid. Vapour production is lower than DSE901 or TITAN. The cartridge is too small, storing few amount of eliquid. I've taked off the cartridge and used 2 drops on the atomizer after 40/50 puffs.

The RN4081 NEVER leaks or sometimes tastes like burn like my Titan, for an example

This is my all day vaping e-cig, using it for learning e-smoke and to test flavours and eliquids.


2) almost 3 weeks vaping all day my RN4081. Batteries are fine, vapour production decreased, but it's still great. All e-cigs appear to exhale A LOT of vapour in the first 3 days, and after this, the vapour reach a "constant" production

3) Too easy to maintain. To drain i blow in the back of the atomizer with a paper towel rolled inside the chamber. After this i can use it right away with other e-liquid/flavour of my choice

Other thoughts:
It's an old volkswagen beetle. Reliable, durable, not a muscle car, but do the job.

This unit right now on my mouth is the one that make me a real quit of the analogs. I just love it. Before this one i've just trying other e-cigs and smoking analogs simultaneously.

As a first good e-cig and/or a all day vaping, i recomend the RN4081.

I spoke to customer service a while ago, and there was something wrong with the 480 number. If you have a problem, try

1-888-669-6569
Peter Meisenbach Extension 103
Sharon Brown Extension 106

I also heard a rumor that stating in April, NJOY will be carried in Wallgreens Drug Stores.
