Are E Cigs A Pile Of C**p? (Kissbox Classic)

[Sweet_Afton]

I have had my Janty Kissbox Classic for 3 months now.It cost 122 euro.It works maybe 10% of the time.

I have discovered that all the problems with the Kissbox are due to the cartridge.The battery charges quick and the atomiser works fine but once you put in a new cartridge you are in trouble.

The Kissbox had some glowing reviews but I would say DO NOT buy it.In fact don't buy ANY e cig as the technology is too new.I can see in 20/30 years time everyone using e cigs but at the moment they just don't work.

BTW I do not mess around with the e cig or drip or anything like that.I can only get the stupid thing to work by messing around with the wool & pulling it out etc.

I am back on roll ups and I will never buy another e cig until the technology works.
As far as I can see they are a pile of crap!

I suspect there are many people as frustrated with esmoking as you Afton. The technology leaves much to be desired, I agree. However, you are addressing a forum full of converts here, regardless of drawbacks esmoking gives a lot of pleasure and satisfaction - even if it's only by way of yabbering on about it, lol.

 

[RatInDaHat]

Wait, wait, wait.. You smoke rollups, but are not willing to drip liquid into a cartridge? Seems odd to me.

I have the occasional issue like everybody else, but I have learned through experience what works and what doesn't. I've been just as frustrated and i gave it another go. I'm glad i did. Also, you cannot equate the entire e-smoking experience to just one device. They all have their own personalities and nuances.

Not sure what your problem is with your e-cig, something must be wrong there. I have a kissbox classic and with a fresh battery and fresh Janty cartridge it works amazing. Pretty strange!

 

[signtraders]

I think the technology works, I agree that some are better than others. The main problem is the parts, as for right now batteries and atomizers should be considerd consumables just like cartridges.

When the manufacturers and supplier aknowledge this and the parts are readily available than there is a healthy market and the end consumer can be well informed.

Carry spares.

I would imagine anyone with just one device is going to experience a lot of frustration. Hell, I've got dozens of the things and I still chew a lot of carpet...

I understand threadstarter feelings , as my 901 suddenly died for me .

left only 103 now to toy around .

yup , ecig I should said be it , it is branded or genenic , is all the same .

yup some bros in here may claim branded ones work perfect and last.

BUT , if you look , is all the same , one battery connect to atomiser and cart. the technology here .at most branded one included a switch whereas genenic ones don;t have.

nowadays I don;t restrict myself firmly on e cig .
if my e cig no battery , no fresh cart , I just smoke my real cig .

I feel my e cig is more suitable on desk at office and at home.
if want to go out , even you have lots of spare battery and cart around , sooner or later you will find it troublesome , have to carry so many stuffs around on weekend while going out.

but that is my feelings here , I know there is some feel great and don;t mind carry spare batteries and cart around .

that why I noticed , some seasonal e smokers like throwaway e cig .???
is all up to individual smokers out there.

yup I hope by 2012 ?London olympic times , e cig techology will get better ?

They'll be an official partner, Fishy. The new Olympic logo will be 5 smoke rings. I'll see you in the smoking section...

Well I had a Power Line mini e cig that packed in after 3 months.The Kissbox does work but more often doesn't.

I just think the technology is too young to invest in.Look at todays cars and look at what they had 100 years ago.E cig "smoking" is the way forward but i will not invest in it yet.

oh I thay!

Afton contact Janty- your device is faulty, and it's udner warrenty I think- Yes, the technology is wonky right now, but there are devices that work the way they are intended to for htem ost part, and can bring satisfaction- don't give up- contact Janty before you throw in the towel

 

[Mr.Darcy]

so youre complaining because a mini lasted 3 months...come on mate,do you expect them to last forever for £30?
you got more than your moneys worth!

and your kissbox is clearly defective-not uncommon for Janty,and i warned you about that before you bought it-ask them for a new one,or ask for a refund...and buy some more minis with the money-i seem to recall you were very pleased with your initial mini for quite some time.

You think you had it bad My first e-cig had two bad batteries a charger that could not decide what to do and an atomizer that I had to suck on so hard that I ended up with muscles in my cheeks.
But I kept at it as I knew the fags were killing me. Think about what you have saved cash wise by using the e-cig and use this money to buy another and spares. You cant go wrong with the suppliers on this forum.
I would give it another go. And if you want some inspiration look at some of the posts in the new members part.

How funny he's complaining cos his 901 only lasted him 3 months!

Well, for my two cents (well, truthfull a little more than that) I don't mind being in on the beginning of technology that has done so much to change the way I get my fix each day.

Four week anniversary today without cigarettes, and if I have to go through a little hassle (much like those early automobile owners), then so be it. The technology can only get better from here, and it will do that with our help, reviewing, making suggestions, etc.

I think most of us are willing to put in a little extra effort and a few $$ to get the end result.

For those who are expecting a perfect, long lasting, all satisfying device, then maybe they DO need to wait.

But the rest of us are loving what we have now and our lives are significantly improved and if we don't address our tobacco smoking habit, then we may not be around to see the future enhancements of these devices.

I will take what is on the market now, along with good service and run with it !

And hey ! Unlike those early auto owners, at least I have never had to stand by the side of the road in the heat and hand crank my e-cig to get it started ! or at least not yet, but if that's what it took to give me an option to tobacco, then that's what I would do.

off to vape some Apple this morning, yall have a good one !

 

[icemanmaz]

And just think you could be one of the pioneers of e-cigs

My Janty Kissbox works amazing, it needed a day or two to "break in" and I also needed to learn how to vape(smoke) it properly. Light long pulls and very soft inhales work great for me, lots of vapor. If your device isn't creating a bunch of vapor after you get used to it then I would suggest contacting Janty immediatly because your device is probably faulty somehow.

 

[TropicalBob]

Not sure what "generation" Janty you have. They're on the fourth generation now, and this group is great. I was emailing with Janty yesterday and of 100 4th gen Janty Kissboxes sent out, there were 3 with atomizer problems. That's quite a contrast to the early problems. Those problems certainly weren't unique to Janty, but it hurts when any reputable make has failures. My own 4th gen Kissbox is just incredible. I've been using it heavily and daily for about six weeks now. The company will make good on its promises. If your unit is faulty, contact Janty.

Only problem I have had with my KissBox is getting used to the "Oh so light" draw!

You only drag about 1/10 as hard as you have to with the DSE 901.

It's almost like drawing air through an empty straw but the results are amazing!

My Janty Kissbox Atomiser bought since April till now never fails...but their switches does fails...the janty atomiser works very well wth Njoy's battery and only with drip smoking method...excellent flavor and vapor production...far superior compared to njoy atomiser...it has never failed me so far and i had it now for almost 5 months..in which 4 atomiser from Njoy has already 'kaput"...so imagine 4 Njoy atomiser can be measured against 1 Janty atomiser.....

Janty main problems lies at their switches ...otherwise, the best and longest lasting atomiser yet.....I am still trying to bust it...
