NJOY Review

[windblown]

I don't know about the Crown 7 cartridges, but I do know that the Ruyan cartridges and Njoy cartridges are interchangeable. My guess is that the Crown 7 cartridges are just a tad shorter than the Njoy cartridges, so they may not make a good contact with the atomizer.

As for bidding on ebay, you can do it a couple of ways. You can put in a bid for the maximum you are willing to pay and ebay will increase your bid up to that amount whenever someone else bids. You could also just put in a bid for the $19.95 and then keep watching to see if someone else bids over you, and then put in a higher bid. Many people don't bid until the last minute, so you have to be on your toes.

You may want to go ahead and open accounts at both ebay and paypal, if you haven't done this already.

Also, the seller you are dealing with is a very nice lady. If you have any problems, just send her an email and I'm sure she will try to help you out. It's not a bad idea to contact her and let her know that you are new at this. Happy Bidding!

Thank you so much Windblown.

Well, Windblown your instructions were helpful for my first ebay experience. I didn't win on the liquid - lost by 50 cents. I saw afterwards that there is a procedure to allow eBay to up your bid behind the scenes - next time I guess.

I did bid on another item - e-cig (2 cigs) w/20 cartridges for $35 and a $14 shipping and won that one. I was eager to have one of the more cigarette-looking ones.

Also I emailed the seller as you suggested and am in the process of seeing if I can purchase some other e-liquid.

Also Anyone,
Can you remind me how many hours in between use that I suppose to charge the battery on a NJoy? I did the initial 8 hr charge but think I'm not suppose to charge that many hours for subsequent charges.

Thank you.

generally i just let mine charge over night while im sleeping. have not had any trouble doing that with my njoy or my ruyan v8.

[NerdyCinderella]

Thanks. I was worried about over charging. I thought one could ruin the battery with over charging.

Sorry you didn't get your 30 ml, NerdyCindy, but now you see how ebay's proxy bidding works. It is hard to understand until you've seen it in action.....and my explanation left a lot to be desired. But congratulations on your first ebay win! Hope your new e-cig is a good one!

It usually only takes 2-3 hours to recharge a battery, but beware of those lights, they are seldom accurate, and trun green before the battery is fully charged.

Well it would seem I'm beginning to share the woes of several other forum users here in that my NJOY has been giving me the finger. The first day out of the box it was working dandy, then performance decreased rapidly over the weekend to the point where the device is about as good as a paper weight.

I can't seem to properly identify where my problem lies - as there is no constant. I charged both of my batteries for the recommended 8 hour charge. My unit obviously has the ability to produce good vapor, but I'm now spending about 80% of the time trying to get the thing to produce any vapor at all - which is helping burn through e-liquid and cartridges like a madman.

I don't think I share the "shallow head atomizer" issue as gently extending the core past the edge of the cartridge and inserting it into the unit always pushes the core back into place - which I'm assuming means that good contact is being made.

I finally got it to a point where both of my batteries gave me the long flashing "charge me" LED indication last night, but the 2 batteries seem to perform very differently to one another, neither of which feels right. Both batteries have no problem producing the flow sensor "it's working" light - yet one of my batteries has audible airflow through it and one does not. I don't know which ones performing correctly in that sense. I'm under the impression that my issue is a power issue unless the contact on my atomizer may be crooked.

Also I'm not sure if this is the trend with the units but if I screw my battery on nice and tight - the unit doesn't do anything besides occasionally get a hot atomizer. The only way to get it to work is if I only tighten the battery just enough to make the contacts touch which not only only leaves the battery loose enough to wobble, but creates a gap by which more air is taken in through the connection between the battery and the atomizer. So in order to get it working I'm basically having to hold it in my mouth and slowly start twisting the battery in millimeter increments until I see vapor. It feels like I'm shorting it out in able to make it do what I want. Because of this abnormality in the contacts I'm having a hard time judging whether or not to screw the battery into the charger firmly, or just enough to make contact similar to connected operation. This also means that there's a possibility that my charger may have gone .... up as well.

All in all I'm very hopeful to resolve my issues as I've had to go and purchase more product from big tobacco, and I'm at a point where I'd prefer to smoke the e-cig. I left a message with someone in customer service at NJOY and am waiting to hear back regarding a solution. I'm just worried about doing this whole "waiting for individual parts" song and dance back and forth till I get the ease of use that I payed a fair chunk of money for. Hopefully my unit springs back to life like it has for most people on here after having new parts sent out ( ironically.) But I'm only fairly optimistic I'll be able to use it at all till a fix arrives.

Sorry for posting a novel.

You could just ask for a whole new unit. They've got pretty good service, in my experience.
