AltSmoke | The Yeti - Presale! & Site News!

[jarvis]

"last night I was informed I could not sell them as cheaply as I had originally planned to. Well I could, but the odds of me getting more in the future would've been a tad bit harder."

That stinks. Cheers for selling it at half the price of the janty though. I may have to check one of these out.

Hey,
I'm new here and I don't want to start off by sounding like a D, but if the yeti is supposed to be the same as the janty dura, then why can I buy the dura for $58.95 directly from janty's site with the same package and get a free usb charger plus a 6 month warranty? I thought this was supposed to be a great presale deal. This isn't a FLAME by all means, I just want to get the best deal. I pretty new to this and all I see is the same products over and over again just with different price tags and labels. I originally went with the njoy Npro and I'm already sending it back because of problems with the battery and atomizer. At the time I thought it was good, but later I learned just another ecig with a different name and American Logo. I'm just trying to find a good deal and another ecig I don't have to send back.

Horror Junkie, both of these are good deals. The Janty Dura is a branded product. Janty is really a good brand overall and backs their product with a good warranty. The price they are showing for the preorder is REALLY knocked down compared to their normal price. I think it is in response to Rob at Altsmoke's deal. If you are willing to wait, it is a good deal. Their replacement parts though, are exorbitantly priced - check their other models. Rob is just starting out in the ecig business and managed to get his hands on an unbranded one. His deal is good too. He is a really good guy and will answer questions in a very timely way - he even has a chat feature on the front page of his site. He chatted with me for hours last night. His prices will be lower in the long run and he is more hungry for your individual business, so he will give more of himself than the others. You have picked a good ecig to research this time. The reviews have been outstanding. Neither of these companies - Janty or Altsmoke - is out to take your money and run, or to sell you a bad product. They are both in this for the long haul and going to give good service. I think we have reached a consensus around here that the brand of your first purchase is not all that good - they are a nuisance with unreliable product. You are on the right track now.

Just wanna let you guys know that although i posted what i said earlier, i personally think that Rob is a great guy.

He had great patience to explain to a nobody like myself. I take my hat off him. His character is just really impressive to say the least.

I now know a little about why they cannot sell at a lower price but will not reveal details. This is probably not Rob's fault at all but the real culprits are Joye and Janty so Rob is pretty much a victim too. Pretty much everyone loses besides Joye and Janty.

I want to say screw Joye and Janty and boycott their products but that will mean affecting Rob's business as well. That would not be cool. But we should not let them get away with this. Granted that the Dura has received some good reviews but its not like they created the Ultimate ecig. Many other ecigs still gets better reviews than the Dura. We still have choices and they should be made to realise that.

So i say to all that wants a dura to buy from Rob till he finishes his stocks and hopefully he'll stop giving into unreasonable demands of Joye and change a supplier. There are tons around that blows Joye away! I believe Rob is a decent businessman and will charge you the most reasonable price when you buy.

 

[aasupplyny]

Right on! Rob is a great guy. I love that chatbox on his site. I get on it and harass him with ecig questions all the time when I'm bored at work lol. On my last order I forgot to enter the coupon codes and he reminded me.

Well anyways, I just ordered another Yeti. The presale at Janty is nice but I found a supplier I like and would much rather give him my money. =D I know Rob will treat me right.

 

[HorrorJunkie]

It looks like Rob is the man. I just noticed he's from Ohio, which is nice knowing he's local. Thanks for the info definitely looking into the Yeti. Also does anyone know if there is going to be any empty cartridges as well?

Hey Mate, thanks for pointing that out.

The competition in this market is growing really fast, people do what they have to do to undercut the competition. I'm new to the game (less than a month old) and trying to grow. Regardless, the deal I offered was a good deal and still is a good deal. The dura was still priced up towards the 90 marker, I'm local and I enjoy working with people to assist them when they have issues. My warranty states 14 days, but that was because of the price I was offering it at. Now I'll have to see about matching it =P Competition is good for the consumer, just keep that in mind

And yes, I will have blanks

 

[applefr3ak]

Yeah.. the new price that Janty has on their site is also a "Presale" price and i suspect that it will go back up to 96 bucks later... But both Rob and I on electronicstix.com and altsmoke.com got these coming and hope they do well. As the Dura is a great e-cig! The pricing war with Joye has kind of not been cool.. But we dont want to put Janty out of business either...

Hey Jason, Why did your website post that you did do testing on them? Did you receive a few or...

 

[ZambucaLu]

Jason,

Without reading this entire thread, maybe someone already asked....are the dura parts interchangeable with the yeti's?

[NathanS]

Theres always someone who can undercut your price.

2 Complete Yetis!
Does that mean that this starter kit would be good for 2 people?
Also I really want one in white so it looks like an actual cigarette. How long before you would have more white ones in stock?
Thanks, from a smoker wanting badly to quit.

I wouldn't suggest trying to split the kit between two users. While using one battery to vape, you need the other to be charging so it is ready to use the moment the first one falls low on power. Also, you need to have spare parts handy. These aren't like other ways of replacing cigs, the corner store does not have spare parts, liquid, etc. Everything must be ordered and shipped. My suggestion, and it is only a suggestion, is that a new e-smoker NEEDS to have a minimum of:

3 batteries, 2 atomizers, 10 cartridges (either blank or prefilled), 10ml of liquid to refill the cartridges, and access to this forum for at least one hour a day. The questions your first month or so are numerous and you will get many replies to read through in addition to catching up on all the knowledge already posted.

I do not want to discourage you from trying ecigs, I just want to help you get a realistic idea of what you will need to get you through until another order arrives, just in case you do like it and it does replace your cigarettes quickly.

This is a reputable model so far and a good dealer. You have done well in those two respects.

Yes the dura parts are all interchangeable. Its made by the same factory/manufacturer.. I have both a dura and a yeti here looking at them and they both perform exactly the same, the only visual difference is the yeti does not have a logo ring. Everything else is the same, If we decide to order 500 we will have a logo ring exactly like the dura. Also found out the deal with the batteries on the dura, they are working on re-designing the cartridge.. they said something about it would let liquid in to the batt. but i personally have not had that problem with either. I did get the pulsing battery on the dura, but found that spinning while taking a drag eliminates that and i can take as long of a drag as i want with the no cutoff.

Apple, that is awesome. Can you send us a picture of the both comparing them? Also, how about a video comparing the 2 of them? I am anxious to see them both working.

Glad to clear up any misconceptions I am a little disheartened about the whole pricing thing coming from joye. We were hoping to sell them a lot cheaper, but they just dont have a name on them for most of us cheapskates. They would have only had the 14 day warranty.. but now we have to re-think all that.. such fun.. I am hoping they ship any day now... And Janty went into pre-sale mode again too.. which is nice for a lot of people too.. I dont think i will have a problem selling them though. Just have to keep the pricing right. Once people start using them and can see them for themselves. And Janty has a great product and great branding and support. I can only hope that i can provide service that good to customers in the future. Now that there are Sooo many e-cig resellers its going to be a little harder to pursuade customers to come to each sellers site, I can only hope that we get great reviews etc.. those seem to make or break companies.. have a nice night... i should get back to working or some semblance of it..

Jason, any word on the pics comparing them side by side or the vid comparing them side by side?

Thanks

I posted this in The Dura review thread but thought it was worth posting here as well. Following a discussion with Parked I emailed Joyetech to find out what the difference is between the Dura and the 510. Apparently there isn't any apart from the Janty branding.

Here's the reply:

Dear Tom,

Thanks for your question. I'g glad to tell you that they are identical as you said, the only difference between them is that there is a bit of different appearance.

I hope my answer will help you not to be confused by that any more.

Best regards
