What's up with my Janty? - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

I got my first kissbox classic about 2 months ago. I loved it. I stuck with my first two atomizers until one of them burned out. The other one kept going strong (and still is.) It's got a much harder draw now, but the throat hit and the amount of vapor are unbelievably good, so i'm afraid to clean it or mess with it in any way. When I ordered a replacement, there seemed (perhaps only in comparison) to be no resistance on the draw whatsoever, and vapor production was very thin. I thought maybe it was because I had gotten used to this hard-drawing vapor machine of an atomizer, so I ordered another replacement. Same deal with that one. Very unimpressive.

I honestly can't remember how this good atomizer felt when I first got it two months ago, when it was my first ecig with nothing to compare it to. So tell me, have I completely spoiled myself now? Has this one atomizer achieved a level of goodness that no other atomizer is going to be able to reach? When I try to vape with either of my other atomizers, it's completely unsatisfying. No throat hit, decent vapor, but nothing to write home about.

I'm worried that as soon as this atomizer dies, I'm off e-smoking!

You bring up an excellent point!

EVERY device I have has a different experience and flavor.
I believe there is a "sweet spot" with these things.
When the conditions are just right... air flow, amount of liquid, pull and atomiser condition all come together to give you that "perfect experience".
Slightly alter just one thing, and it's not the same... very frustrating.

Some firms started producing four-hole atomisers rather than two-hole. I don't know whether this is the case with the Janty or whether it could be causing your problem. Could a Janty buff please comment?

Maybe you should try some atomizers from different suppliers and see if any of them work better. Worth a try before going back to analogs!

I would suggest that too.

I have a Janty Classic Kissbox and because i'm a cheap b*stard I don't want to buy extra atomizers at that markup. I buy Puresmoker Pen atomizers and they work just fine on my janty.

Some atomisers seem to get better with use, IMO.

Yes, I've found that my Janty classic atomisers tend to have a breaking in period.

And during this breaking-in period, do they sort of produce wimpy-er vapor like mine are?

Thanks for all the advice guys, keep it coming.

I'm struggling with my Kissbox too.

I bought it a month ago. It took me a week to be rid of the nasty chemical taste and then was wonderful in every way for a day. On the evening of that one good day the atomiser burnt out resulting in the cartridge being full of what I presume to be carbon-like crumbs. I contacted Janty Europe and good enough, Harry replaced the atomiser within the week.

This brought me back to square one. The taste is still spectacularly awful. It leaks like a bloody tap and on an even worse note, this is the only e-Cig that can bring back a morning Smoker's cough for me. Three weeks later, and hardly used, it lies on the desk looking shiny and pretty and new.

It's a shame really. This device is extremely well made, it's light and comfortable to use. I find the draw really easy, just like breathing through a thick straw in fact. I get tons of vapour but the dreadful taste and the lung irritation is too much.

PS Even while I've been typing this, I've taken two pulls to remember the experience and already I'm clearing my throat!

Short answer is Yes the break in period has a wimpy vapor
keep smoking it and it will get better.

Also put 2 small drips in that atomizer to break it in faster

Thanks
