Atomiser replacement instructions

[scyllabub]

Do you think some clever and kind Sticker could provide drawings or pictures to accompany the following?

3. Installation of the ionizer
Carefully push the ionizer, with the plastic cap cart inserted, into the stick’s dedicatedionizer shaft until you reach the internal screw.

Gently screw the ionizer: hold and turn the plastic cap to screw the ionizer into the stick’s dedicated ionizer shaft.

Use the plastic cap cart as a grip to unscrew the ionizer from the stick’s body when needed.

i think you mean atomizer not ionizer hehe

That's not me, it's Ludo's instructions. And what's in a word?

From the instructions.......

Carefully push the ionizer, with the plastic cap cart inserted, into the stick’s dedicated ionizer shaft until you reach the internal screw.

Now i don't know what's happening with your's scylla but with mine i can
"push the ionizer, with the plastic cap cart inserted, into the stick’s dedicated ionizer shaft until I reach the internal screw, but then i hear a "click" as it clicks into place but i can Not "turn the plastic cap to screw the ionizer into the stick’s dedicated ionizer shaft".
No amount of turning will "screw" it on. It just turns round and round.
When i press the switch on i can hear it sizzle but i'm getting as much juice in my mouth as i am vapour.
I Can with a lot off effort and sore fingers "Screw it in" until i can't screw anymore and then if i put the cart in it's ok but the cart is at an angle but at least i don't get juice in my mouth.
My only problem now is trying to get the bloody "Ioniser" (which is a fancy new name for "Atomiser") out of the thing when it needs replacing.
I can't do it with my fingers 'cause there's not enough length to grip.
I think i'm going to need a pair of pliars.
I don't know where the problem is. It might be the Atomiser or it might be the stick. I don't know.

Quite.

I couldn't get it to sizzle.

I Can with a lot off effort and sore fingers "Screw it in" until i can't screw anymore

Me too 8-o Very sore indeed! I used folded Kleenex to unscrew it but had an agonising job trying to get it screwed in again and had to go back to my Mini until I recovered my composure.

it's ok but the cart is at an angle

Now that bit, I don't identify with

I thought of using pliers but visualised the atomiser getting squashed out of shape so that a cart would no longer fit. However, the carts are not round-ended, it might be OK as long as you squash the atomiser to match the indentations in the cart. I thought of cutting up a thick elastic band and gluing pieces to the inside of the pliers to save scratching the atomiser and to provide more grip.

I thought and thought and thought!!!

I felt I must be misinterpreting the instructions but the fact is I couldn't interpret them at all, rightly or wrongly And I naively thought that some kind and clever soul here would be able to illustrate the instructions for me. I was feeling so isolated with my problem until you came along, Deewal

Hi deewal,

I had this problem to begin with, and to me its caused by the atomiser being matt black, and a tight fit, hence no amount of turning the cart will actually turn the atomiser, sorry its not an ionizer to me...lol.

I eventually got it out by placing kitchen roll around the cart before replacing it, that worked, otherwise I was going to resort to the pliers too...lol

I replaced mine with a silver one, so that does turn.

With this silver one, I push it down till I hear the click, then very slowly but firmly turn clockwise. You can do this probably 2 full turns, and then it stays put.

This could be a design flaw, and by that I dont mean with the stick itself, but simply the logic that the atomiser should have a gloss finish when its such a tight fit.

 

[scyllabub]

But Christena, what's all this about using the plastic cap cart to do the job? (I think I took so long to do my reply to Deewal that you nipped in with yours. Typical.)

Morning Scylla

If the cart is a tight fit, which the Janty ones are, they act like a vice gripping the atomiser tight from the inside.

So if thats tight, as I got mine to be with the kitchen roll, it will grip and force the atomiser to turn.

You are right the atomiser in itself is too short to grip any other way

Toby is aware of this problem and doing all he can to sort it out, so no doubt anyone having this problem and openly saying so or contacting him direct, will get a resolution from him.

 

[scyllabub]

I didn't get a spare because I thought my 801 Classic atomiser would fit - that's shiny white. But it's far too fat. Frank said 'force it' but it's out of the question. The carts are identical.

You are comforting and encouraging as ever, Christena

When something doesn't 'grab' the threading, it can help to first turn it counterclockwise... somewhere along the way it will get onto the threading in the right way, and then you can turn it onto the thread as it should be. Of course, if the atomizer is too 'fat' to even get to the threading, this is not going to be helpful... but hopefully for some cases it can be.

 

[ted26]

I am pretty crude and use my teeth to turn it just watch for the juice!

 

[tribalmasters]

Me too, using teeth scratches pretty atomisers but hey its hidden in the stick anyway! If something doesn't fit, you really do need to force it, when I put in a generic there is no hope of getting it back out again without biting down on it hehe and hopefully in time the atomisers will fit better as the plastic gets into shape!

 

[CatVTTV]

hahaha... I love you guys...

Message to Ludo...

Please supply false teeth with any further deliveries of the JantyStick.

 

[scyllabub]

Ah, the Stick must have been made with healthy American teeth in mind

scyll

 

[CatVTTV]

I must admit Scylla I tried flat nosed tweezers with kitchen roll around and still couldnt get the atomiser out....lol,

If I had tried my teeth, I may never need a Dentist again....hahahaa

I just use a small towel on the end of the black atomizer, seems to grip it ok. The carts do turn in the atomizers, I have only genuine Janty carts and some dont even hold in to the atomizer. There is clearly some manufacturing variance on them.
I still feel that holding the cart and twisting it is a bad idea. I dont want wool getting caught up in my atomizer and melting, polyester fumes aren't something I want to be inhaling.

Janty should include an atomizer tool, like a mini version of the things you can get to open tight jar lids.

 

[Caesarea]

Dunno if it helps, but most things are easier to twist open if you put on your rubber washing-up gloves first.

Best

[CatVTTV]

You are so right Caesarea, I have gloves, just didnt think of it...

A friend of mine always said...

Up there for thinking...Down there for dancing

Seems I was dancing again
