Merged old sticky threads (2)

the battery would be wet if that was the case. my battery did get wet w/ juice. attys leak some. over time it gets down in the housing and around it. too bad you can easily take apart the unit to clean. try a different atty and dont overfil carts. that might or might not help.

Not to worry (too much). The Stick is not completely sealed (very few, if any, PVs are). If you overfill it, or use juice with a low viscosity, or perform any number of random kind of things, it's possible to get this leaking, I suspect, even with a V2. It IS possible, and even pretty easy (see the video posted in the forums) to get it apart and clean it. I have not yet been able to get Janty to make a clear statement about warranty coverage for doing this, but the end result seems to be that if you take it apart and clean it and put it back together with reasonable care, nobody will be able to tell you did, so no warranty issues. At any rate, the leakage is more annoying than anything, I've never heard yet that leakage resulted in a failure. Good luck.

Ah, such good information to have. Thanks!

Do you know of a PV that is completely sealed? The Super-T maybe? What about the Protege?

 

[tmbrown327]

No, I don't sorry. Although I watch new developments eagerly, along with everyone else, I haven't yet seen the need to delve into anything deeply enough to have those details since I got the stick.

That being said, I think the closest I've seen to what could be an isolated system is the GLV from Great Lakes Vapor. I was considering one of those but I think it would be too bulky.

my J stick sometimes do leak, some atties brands do leak less than others,
try BE112.

If it set to be avalable at the end of October, why there are 510 adapter for sale at Smokejuice.com now.

smokejuice.com is not a valid site. Comes up with a site under construction and asks if you want to buy that domain.

I'd like to know what the issue is with these. I mean basically it's an 801 atty connector in a tube with connections going up to a 510 batt connector. Seems like a pretty simple thing to build and they already did. The mystery is how it was giving bad vapor output. Only possible explanation is that there was some voltage loss between the two connectors. How hard would that be to address? The ground would be the outter case and it's just one connection for the middle.

I'd build one from old parts if I had the means to solidly attache the two connectors. Either way I wish they's get on it and fix it. Hating the 801 part of the JS!!!

After I tried a cart mod - that failed - I got some leaking at the LED. It's made me paranoid that the juice might have coated some of the electronics down there. Once that stuff dries I'm concerned it may cause an issue. Didn't I see a pic of an opened Janty case somewhere here on the boards? I don't want to open it up in case I'd have to return it under warranty. Manufacturers get pretty sticky when thier equipment is opened up

Any idea where that video is? Couldn't seem to locate it.

 

[tmbrown327]

I couldn't find it again either. This is the closest I could get.

Here's one video of how to open...turn your speakers down when you play it:

Thanks, I couldn't find that thread to save my life.

I have already got a JS 510 adapter. I bought it from my local supplier in Thailand. They just recieve the new batch from the factory yesterday. The first batch that they have had the same problem, but the new batch is OK.

Is this the Altsmoke adaptor or the Janty batch?

Vaporboy - does your Thailand supplier have a website to order from? Are these actuall the ones that Janty has (or should I say doesn't have!)?

BTW - how well does it work? Does it give full 510 performance in the JS?

 

[Quitter]

Thanks for finding that! So it looks like squeezing the sides is the trick. It has a warning on it. Is there danger (besides a spinning fan and Ford F-150) to doing this? Are they known to break when doing it?

 

[tmbrown327]

I've never heard of anyone damaging anything when they did this. I've seen, I guess, about 6 posts where the person doing it said it was easier than expected and that it was constructed much better than it looks.

 

[vaporboy]

It is a janty stick batch not altsmoke adapter and it give full performance of 510 atty, with more battery life from JS.

 

[Quitter]

Okay great! So does your Thailand supplier have a website to order from?
Interesting that Janty supplied new units to a suppliuer and has no stock themselves.

Mik - any comment?
