It is my sixthday of testing the JANTY NEO CLASSIC and I have already seen some great video reviewsabout it. I have seen reviews on how to use it, instructions on how to fill it,handle it, clean it, descriptions of the vapor that it produces and a lot ofother useful stuff about it. I know there are some more greatreviews to come, so I wont bother to compete on them. What I will try to do isto answer to some simple questions that everybody who notices me using it is asking: whatis the difference between Jantys NEO and EGO-Ts? Is NEO better or worse? Plusand cons?
For the purposes of this review, I have used threePVs a Jantys NEO Airflow with both manual and automatic battery, a JantysEGO-Jet with LR atty and a joyetech EGO-T with SR atty, all with 650mAhbatteries. For tasting I have used 3 liquids: my favorite Jantys Elixir RY4 PG,Bobas Bounty 100%VG and a mixture DIY RY4 of 50/50 PG/VG.
Looks:
The design of Jantys NEO is stylish and modern. Although the diameter is exactly the same asthe Ego-T (or Ego-Jet), it really looks slimmer I guess it has to do with theclear e-liquid window it has on the puromizer. Now, the big difference from the EGO-T and the Ego-Jet is the polishedgolden ring around the center that regulates the air-flow. This gives NEO anelegant and unique appearance. Although the color of my NEO is silver (manualsets come only in silver), the glow of the ring transforms it into platinum ortitanium under different lights. Really nice!
Referring to colors, Jantys EGO-Jet and NEO comesonly in Black and Stainless/ Silver whereas with EGO-Ts a bigger variety ofcolors is available.
Batteries of EGO-T and EGO-Jet are plain with no ledanywhere except from the button while NEO battery has a white/purple led lightat the lower rim as well which illuminates at every draw.
RegularVoltage:
EGO-T:Something in between 3.2V to 3.4V it really depends on the model.
JantysEGO-Jet: 3.7V
Jantys NEO: Voltageis also 3.7V.
Ease of filling:
All of them areextremely easy to be filled.
On EGO-T andJets, a tank must be filled with e-liquid whereas on NEO the puromizer must befilled by opening the silicon lid. Personally, I always had a very difficulttime opening the top of the tank in order to fill it, that is why I havereplaced all tops with silicone ones. This is not a problem with Jantys NEO,since opening the silicon lid and filling the puromizer is a piece of cake. There might be some difficulty in fillingthough if someone is using a bottle without a nozzle since the filling windowis a little bit narrow.
Flexibility:
EGO-T andEgo-Jets are perfect for tasting different flavors. Someone can drip someliquid in a tank, taste it, switch to another tank and have as many flavor trialshe wants by simply switching tanks.
This cannot bedone with Jantys NEO. Different puromizers are needed or emptying thepuromizer and replacing e-liquids is a necessity if someone wants to switch toa different flavor.
Leakage:
This is acritical point. This is the main reasonEGO-Jets and EGO-T were abandoned by a lot of vapers: the leakage. And this iswhere New NEO triumphs over its rivals. There is hardly any leakage with NEOwhen using it with PG e-liquids. The only time I noticed some minor leakage waswhen I filled it with a very thick 100% VG liquid and that happened only at thebeginning when it was still cold. That went away quickly and the battery wasnot harmed. Since NEO can use automatic(=not sealed) batteries this is a breakthrough.
Batteries:
In this topic a big question has to be answered: doessize matters over quality? J
EGO-T and EGO-Jets have normal 650mAh batteries aswell as bigger ones 900, 1100mAH. Being a heavy vaper, I was a happy camperwith my 1000mAh big battery that lasted all day. NEOcomes only with 650mAh batteries so far. But the difference here is thatthere is a choice for that battery to be an automatic one! No buttons to push,no worries if leakage occurs because it wont.
The automatic NEO batteries are equippedwith sensors that detect theexact vaping needs of the users and respond to that.
Compatibility:
One spot that must be pinpointed here is that NEObatteries are designed to operate perfectly with the new puromizer, giving thebest vapor and taste.
Having said that, everything is compatible with theothers parts: EGOs batteries fit NEOs puromizer, NEOs batteries fit EGOsatomizers.
I personally consider that to be great since I can useall my EGO parts to my NEO equipment and have spares.
Vapor and taste:
I always preferred LR attys and cartomizers because Iwanted a warmer vapor. With EGO-T and EGO-Jets attys the vapor was muted andharsh but I got so used to it that it stopped bothering me after a while. All Ineeded was 10 minutes with NEO to discover that vapor doesnt have to be likethat!
With NEO, vapor is really warm and it never gets muted never! I do have a large collection of LR and SR attys as well as lots ofcartomizers, giant cartomizers, DC cartomizers, Echomizers, CE2, clearomizersetc You name it, I have it I was on the hunt for finding something that canprovide warm vapor together with pure and clear taste. Well, I guess Ill have to stopsearching. When it all comes down totaste, NEO beats them all. I have triedalmost all my e-liquids with NEO and I discovered that even liquids that Ididnt like before now taste so much better with NEO. Amazing!
In the past, whenever I wanted more vapor production,I used VG e-liquids or I had to add VG to my PG e-liquid. That was the casewith all my previous EGO-T attys, no matter if they were LR or NR.
Following the advice of NEOs designer, Mik Dahl, Iused only PG e-liquid when I received it and Voila! The vapor production washuge! No need to add VG, this PV manages to produce big clouds of smoke with avery light draw.
In conclusion, I believe that everyone who triesJantys NEO wont go back to EGO-T. I know I wont. I will keep my EGO attysand tanks to try new flavors because of their versatility but in order to enjoyvaping I know I have found a winner in NEO. It is a great vaping device, simpleand beautiful, its performance is stable and solid, no leakage at all, can beused with auto batteries, vapor, taste and TH are perfect and Jantys namebehind all these makes it a temptation no one can resist to!
