Long term Mini Fogger test

[Bellinghamster]

Got my Mini Fogger charged up yesterday, and used it while running around town shopping. I have to say I really like the shorter drags and the amount of vapor produced, it really much more approximates the old analogs. I compared it to my first super-mini (the one that is so disliked on the dispreferences poll) and the mini fogger is vastly superior in every regard.

I do have a question however. I see some really great feedback about the m401 around here, and the replacement parts seem a bit cheaper than the mini fogger's. How do these two devices compare in regards to performance and reliability?

Well I have been using my mini fogger for a few days now and must say I am really impressed with it. For such a small device it produces impressive amounts of vapor and has a great taste. What I am really impressed with though is the battery charge time vs usage time, and not having to wait 4 hours for a battery to charge. I am getting a good 2 to 3 hours vaping out of a charge It took a bit of getting used to like all new e-cigs, was sucking a bit hard (it has a very light draw) and getting a liquid in the mouth problem on the first day but this seems not to happen now. I do wipe the inner cart like Frankie though when I refill. The atomiser does empty the cart well and there is no drop off in performance on the battery during use. Overall I have found it to be great little e-cig and is an excellent size for social situations. I wasn't over keen on the fargo taste but filled with RY4 or marlboro it is good, very good. I will say it is very cigarette like though in how it works, which will definitely please a lot of people. I think it would be a good introduction e-cig for those who want to try vaping.

I got my mini fogger about 10 days ago. I loved the draw, the taste, the feel and looks of it.....but then it died. Neither battery or atomizer seem to work at all now. No light comes on when I draw on it and no vapor is produced. A couple of days ago, the atomizer sparked and the light blinked off and on rather furiously. I guess I will need to return it. It is a shame since I just got new cartridges and liquid in the mail today. I am very disappointed because this was the first e cigarette I felt I would use regularly.

That is a shame Sherid, I will keep my fingers crossed that mine doesn't go the same way, don't want my christmas spoilt !!!! I agree though, I think you could use it regularly, and I never thought I would say that about a super mini after previous experience. Send it back and get a replacement

It would be an interesting comparison. I have the M401 in a couple of versions and am really impressed by it's performance, particularly battery life. However I ain't buying a MiniFogger just to compare. If anyone in the UK wants to swap for a few days we might get a comparison.

Well, you still have the second to use while they replace the first. I hope you will tell how they did in this respect, warranty I mean. It´s a real shame both atomizer and battery died on yours at the same time. I am really curious how the replacement process works. Especially if you have to pay full shipping cost for the new spare part.

Haven't given up on this device yet
But.....

One atomiser died a few days ago, and now the other one is getting hot after only 2 hits and shutting down the unit

Tried to save the first one but it's dead

The bats are still good though
Just have to say thanks that it's not my only device,
not to mention I haven't given up the devil sticks yet
Haven't contacted Janty yet but they were real cool about sending me the USB charger plus a gift

[Frankie]

I did not use dripping because the vapour was too strong and hot for me; now I am starting to fear I could not anyway, because it seems to kill atomizers Will try to ask Ludo in Janty Q/A thread.

It seems this will be a very short-term test after all. Being too late for me to wait for the battery to charge so I can have a few last drags before sleep I screwed in the other battery, the one I rarely used before. It started itself, heated up the atomizer so much it burned my fingers and started emitting burnt plastic smell. I unscrewed it immediately, but it was too late. Now it lights up the LED but does not produce any heat for the atomizer. Tomorrow morning I will charge the battery I normally use and try to see if the atomizer survived. Then I will send that faulty part back for replacement. being just before Christmas, no one knows when the replacement gets to me. I am also unsure of how the warranty really works there and how much it costs

Unfortunately, I have to say my $15 DX Health Minicig lasted much longer than the Mini Fogger. It only had one battery and it was still working after 2 weeks when I put it away to start with the only brand name product I ever bought. Grrr.

[Frankie]

Nothing works now. Not a single atomizer or battery. Both batteries light uop the LEDs, but that is all.

I already filed a warranty claim online. Will tell you how it ended. Probably next year, though, because it happened at the most unfortunate time.
