    Default Dura Owner Poll

    I am trying to figure out If it is just me having problems with this device or not. Please answer only if you have a Janty Dura First run production model. Please post and include the Inspection date of your device. Thank You.

    *Addition* It still counts as a malfunction if it still works if you jump through hoops. For example: "It works great, if I spin it in my lips while jumping on one foot and look to the left."

    I also want add that I love this device and it does a fantastic job when it works.

    My first Dura stopped working with in 3 days, batteries went nuts on me, had a second one sent to me from Janty USA and that one also stopped working on me with in 24 hours this time ...jeff tried to tell me that i was the only one having trouble with the Dura ...YEAH RIGHT JEFF!

    Never again with Janty.......they sux

    (There is more to the story as why i have a beef with Janty)
    but thats a story for another day

    I only buy the DSE901b now, what a waste of money spent with Janty

    I do not have the Inspection date----i threw the joke of an e-cigarette in the trash

    I've disposed of it now, but mine must have been a first run model. Leaky carts, faulty batteries (all the replacements sent were faulty).PCC never worked.

    Both sets batteries are dead (Bad cut off) and the replacements sent the first time were even worse. And on top of that my atomizer died tonight.
    They have supposedly resolved the problem and are sending a replacement from the improved shipment. I will believe it when I see it. Having bad batteries are one thing, but when an atomizer fails too I couldn’t let that slide I had to post to see if I am the only one. Insp. Jan 22, 2009

    Mine were doing the same thing. I guess my mistake was keeping them.

    That is my last resort. I will get mine replaced and see if it has been improved or not.

    My Dura worked perfectly for the first two weeks. Now, my ALL THREE of my batteries are cutting out too quickly, and the vapor production is way down. I'm not sure if it's the batteries or the atomizers, as it's happening in any combination of batteries (3) and atomizers (2).

    I sent an email to Jeff yesterday, and I hope to hear from him soon. I preordered another Dura kit, and I figured I'll try the old stuff out with the new stuff to see if the problem is batteries or atomizers (or a combination).

    Thank goodness I have a backup DSE 901 and a Pilot. Still, I miss my Dura terribly. That thing is amazing . . . of course, not so much now.

    My Dura had really moody batteries. It's a shame I really liked that product. When it worked it REALLY worked.

    Glad I have my Kissbox and 901 as backups.
    The world will look up and shout "Save us!"... And I'll whisper "No."
