My Janty eGo first impressions

[Scottbee]

I assume you're talking about the Janty "fast charger". That consists of a USB-powered charger.. and it comes with a wall adapter so you don't have to plug it into a USB port on your computer.

I don't have that specific wall adapter... but I'm guessing yours has a red power light on it. That doesn't indicate the charging status. The small LED on the barrel of the USB charger tells you the charging status. Red for charging, green for either "done", or no battery attached.

That's correct. The red light on the adapter threw me off at first too because the charger was turned over and I didn't notice its light.

The light on the ac unit is always red that means its on. The light on the charger is red when you screw the battery in and then it will occasionly blink. when its charged the light will turn green. It takes mine just over 2 hours to charge. Hope that helps

I found the problem by taking the USB adapter apart.
The two wires going to the screw in connection had broken and I had to solder them back on.
It looked like it was only soldered on by a hair to begine with!!
I could not get the plastic case back on, and it's ugly now, but it works!!

I will need to buy a new one, but the folks at Janty are out of stock.

I feel quite certain that if you contact Janty, your charger will be replaced without the necessity of buying a new one.

Question, the eGo/Tornado battery, it screws on to a 510 atty correct?
I noticed janty is selling the single batteries, could I just order a battery and use it with all my 510 gear?

Well...my TW Tornado just arrived and is on the charger. Mine came with a little cloth pouch like the Janty but has the Totally Wicked dude on it...nice touch. I got the rapid charger so should be too long, can't wait to try it.

Yes you can purchase just the battery......but you will need the charger adapter which is an extension tube to be able to charge the battery with your 510 charger

And the atomizer cone cover thingy...

Lovin my Tornado... It paired with Halo juice is pure bliss.... Have not even used my VP-PT all day as I am enjoying the Tornado to much....

As said above you will need the adapter to charge and don't forget the cone to cover the atty... Not only makes it look good but I believe it halp with the air flow and the warmth of the juice...
