Are there any Jessy vendors in Canada?

It doesn't appear to be an eGo clone - but a Korean made mod - including the internal chip sets. The original design has an unusual cartridge style - looks more like a drip tip top...

It seems to have the same body sillouette as an eGo - but difficult to see how the cone sits from the photos - so it may be closer to a RIVA or different from both. Internals and basic specs are not the same at all.

The manufactures site is only partially in English.

Haven't really heard anything about it. Might be a good idea to contact the vendor and ask for more info.

The Jessy was originally introduced to me as a VV device, but although it does step up the voltage by only around .1 volts per setting it isn't really Variable Voltage, it is Variable Frequency and the only device I am aware of with this feature.

One of the features of eGo batteries is that it actually operates at a different frequency than standard proprietary batts and it averages out around 3.3 volts (Thanks Switched for that tid bit of info) The Jessy implements the same principal and offers 3 different frequencies, creating a difference in flavour apparently, though I haven't tried it nor own a Jessy myself.

Kat is right, it is a Korean made PV and it is a cone-style form factor but it is entirely different than a RIVA, a genuine eGo or even a high end VV mod. The drip tip supplied with the kit is gold plated which drives up the cost of the device considerably... but is kind of fancy I guess, if you're into that kind of thing.

The main reason the device isn't as popular is that Jessy hasn't built as much brand recognition, comes at a higher price than most kits and is the only device touting a VariFreq capability that hasn't seemed to catch on. I'd give it a try if I caught one at a vape meet though, you never know, it might be superior to an eGo in every way.

Absolutely... big difference.

One of the features of eGo batteries is that it actually operates at a different frequency than standard proprietary batts and it averages out around 3.3 volts (Thanks Switched for that tid bit of info) The Jessy implements the same principal and offers 3 different frequencies, creating a difference in flavour apparently, though I haven't tried it nor own a Jessy myself.

Having the capability to reproduce the eGo vape at VV (my VV eGo with switching regulator) places me in a postion to offer some anecdotal feed back wrt to the hooplah and myths surrounding a 3.7V vape.

IMO opinion, the eGo provides a better vape at 3.2/3V than an eGo at 3.7V such as a Riva or any battery that supplies 3.7V. I have the WeGo (wooden eGo) firing a AW 2600mAh 18650. Off a fresh battery there is a slight difference but one that wanes as the battery depletes through use. You may get 10-15 good hits out of it, and then the eGo takes over for consistency. A regulated frequency device or PWM (post width modulation) delivers consistently the same from the first hit until the batt is depleted, where it simply falls off the cliff in comparison with non modulated devices where the available voltage and thus current delivery to the atty diminishes every toot you take. That being said...

On my VV eGo with switching regulator, I can raise and lower the voltage at will, providing me with PWM for each new voltage setting. The duty cycle does not change as with the "Jessy" but the voltage does. It as been my experience that even a slight increase to 3.4-3.5V on this device (my VV eGo) out performs the eGo firing the 18650 batt. So IMMHO folks should not be knocking 0.1V increase as it is not a 0.1 volt increase as such. Moving right along...

Now crank the VV eGo to 4.2V (what a fresh battery comes off the charger at) and woa! We are talking close to 5V vaping here. How is that possible, well it pulses between high and low - 4.2V is the average output from the cycling.

Kat is right, it is a Korean made PV and it is a cone-style form factor but it is entirely different than a RIVA, a genuine eGo or even a high end VV mod. The drip tip supplied with the kit is gold plated which drives up the cost of the device considerably... but is kind of fancy I guess, if you're into that kind of thing.

I believe you nailed it there, and gold plating isn't cheap :)

There are many devices coming out these days that uses PWM and they are worth there weight in gold AFAIC. The benefits:
  • same hit start to finish;
  • longer atty life;
  • better battery life; and
  • provides a vape akin to higher voltage devices. The new PWM devices out there which are producing 3.7V are the new kids on the block and will out perform many PVs out there, to include but not limited to high end mods.

GotVapes eGo 900mah Variable Voltage 3 Stage 510 Kit STNLS [gv-900egoVariable-510KIT-STAINLE] - $74.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

Save $25.00 and it's has 3.2 3.7 and 4.2. It's another eGo clone that someone played around with. But instead of calling it "Jessy" they called it EGO VV :)

Mopar,

It is sad to see you can't find satisfaction with all the ridiculous prices reported of late. What were you spending on cigarettes?

Your link is of a selectable voltage device, not a VV nor PWM - there is a huge difference. Price is not eveything. FWIW it is a known fact that Hoogy MADVapes does not sell JoyE products. That is not a foul but the way it is. There is nothing wrong with that.

If a device is not for you then offer some valuable criticism why not. Is it the price point entirely or is it just you POed because you can't afford it?

I am a JoyE and Saelbo (SLB) man myself, nothing else. Why? Their proven tract record of consistent performance and longevity - you get what you pay for.

If I was to choose between the Provari and the Darwin - I would choose the Darwin in a tube just like the Provari or similar. Why? Regulated power vice regulated voltage. :)

Muhaha can't afford it. As you escaped the sheep farm and gave up your part time job picking apples at this point in your life I applaud you. Funny how you pick Hoog and madvapes out of the crowd, when your Canadian cronies sell the same thing as him repriced at 2-3X's + what he does. To all but the supreme beings such as yourself the biggest difference between all of these eGo's are the slant of the peoples eye's making them and perhaps the colour of them. 3.7v on a LR is a much better vape all day long then my joye PWM eGo's. The Darwin is a toy, putting that to my mouth in public brings as many stares as one can imagine walking around with my .... hanging out of my pants. So despite all of your knowledge and opinions I think perhaps you've missed out on what would be most helpful device for a normal person, that doesn't eat breath and sleep this stuff. That would be a Reo, one box freedom with a great vape and nothing much to break.

Ya might wanna try a 2.5Ohm atty at 5V and take that for a whirl vice 1.5 @ 3.7V ;) world of difference from why folks vape LRs at 3.7V.

Hum, they are not "my" Canadian cronies but "our" Canadian cronies :) and sorry for the ref to Hoogy, my mistake. Got Vapes / Mad Vapes pretty similar first thing in the morning. FWIW GotVapes is not even remotely on my radar :)

But wrt MadVapes what was previously posted still holds true :)

Had a botom feeder its retired and gathering dust...

I'm so glad everything usually turns to smiles here :) I so hate conflict. I really do, and was dreading coming here and having to sling anymore mud. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I will pick up a 2.5 and throw it on my 5v to see what I think. I've only had lr's and cartos to put on it since I made it so maybe the extra .80 will make me want to pick up a saber or yet another PV :facepalm: cause my 5v is so ugly that it couldn't ever leave the house :)

Joyetech, btw, is chinese.

and.... (this is almost a true story)...

When I saw the samsung chip set mentioned last night - I whispered it outloud. My beloved 52 inch TV - from across the room - yelled back: "あなたは一体何の話をしている - 韓国人は自分の靴を結ぶことができない!"*

wtf mate!

You're talking about what the heck - Korean tie his shoes can not be!
WTF? your (probably Thai or Malay made) tv is speaking Japanese?

tlolwscoms

Was wondering who would succeed in guessing that translation!

TV's a Toshiba - so I don't mind if it speaks Japanese - just not when I'm watching the Simpsons (they didn't have a great Japanese experience).

PS - when back-translating - Google translate "tames" the original" - so you have to do some word reversals and add the peppery bits yourself.

Haha that's funny stuff. At least I can quit scratching my head now :)

Thanks for the incredibly informative replies. I just ordered an "X" kit, FreedomSmokeUSA has them back in stock. I'll post my impressions if you like, but I am very new to ecigs, so I don't have much to compare it to.

I'd love to know what you think about the VV on it. General performace etc.
