I would have been happier if they fixed the Auto switch and made an auto/manual hybrid. I am too interested in the manual switch version to get the new auto switched batteries. I would love to hear from someone who has chosen to get the “Improved” Automatic switched version.

Actually with the Dura/510, Janty had a one month exclusive to sell it before Joye was alllowed to release the 510 to other suppliers.

However I believe with the DURA-C, it will be completely exclusive to Janty and their distributors so won't be available to suppliers selling the 510 under different names....

Is the atomizer for the Yeti a 4 hole atomizer? Is it interchangeable with the Joye510 / Dura?

Am I correct in thinking that the Dura / Yeti / Joye510 are all the same device, just rebranded for different companies?

Yes they are all the same... Not sure if the Yeti is a 4 holer.

Yes the Yeti has 4 holes but two are blocked from the fatory so they are to be concidered a 2 hole atomizer

Just an Update, I am Getting About 20 Minutes On Each Battery for My Yeti. (I have had over 15 charges).

How Much Time You Guys Getting Now?

How Many People Have Yeti Carts That Don't Leak?

Please Only Respond If You Have Charged Your Batteries More The 5 Times Only.

I got mine in Saturday to review. Was excited. Out of the box one battery was dead. I charged it the 12 hours while playing with the other battery. That battery and the atomizer were AMAZING. More flavor then any Ecig I have tried yet. Vapor was ALMOST the most vapor I have gotten, and the throat hit was PERFECT. I was IN LOVE with it. Sunday morning I woke up and double checked. The other battery is completely dead and unchargeable. But one battery is good. So I used it exclusively all day Sunaday. Sunday afternoon the atomizer died. Just went from perfect to dead. I plugged in spare atomizer and that one was ok. So its not the battery, it's a dead atomizer. Oh well, I still have one battery and one atomizer. Well about 15 minutes later that atomizer died. So I plugged in my dura atomizer and it's been working ok since. So in just over 24 hours I have one dead battery and 2 dead atomizers. All that's left is a battery and a charger. Rob at Altsmoke is going to send me a new one so no worries. Just sad cuz no. 1 I was going to do a video review of it and was unable to, and no.2 these atomizers seemed a little better than the dura WHILE they lasted.

So, maybe I just got unlucky with my package. Either way, I'll wait for more to come in from rob to try them.

Plus side - WHEN it worked, it was by far the best ecig or close(not sure about KB yet).

Down side - not reliable to me. Again just may be bad luck.

About 2.5 hours with heavy use on both batteries. Cartridges have a minor leak, they are very tight in the one atomiser I've got, less so in the other.

I never did the "charge for 12 hours, smoke for 20 minutes, then recharge" BS.

Devon I do not mean to jump your thread.

No worries Cellmeister.

I was sent a dead battery by Rob and I have dissected it. I am working on writing up the autopsy report right now. I will have it posted here by 10:30PM (PST) tonight. It will even have a photo!
