Cheers and good luck in the future whoever you are of ecigtest. I am no longer buying Janty products after all my great reviews of them in the past. This is exactly why I didn't want the forum. And I tested you once and you proved exactly my point. Thanks for the ban for me expressing an opinion on a completely different forum then yours. Which I feel was worded nicely, in fact it had a poll, with me losing the poll. But you didn't want it to end there. So if the internet was up to you whoever you are - If I give a negative review of someones ecig that means I am banned from every ecig they sell in the future? Goooood logic. I will wait for my apologies from Janty and from whoever this guy is who owns the ecigtest site. You both do owe me one. But I'm over it at this point.

Can't say I'm surprised.

Sorry I'm confused, what am I missing here? What are you referring to? What is Ecigtest?

cigtest is some weird website that took advantage of me and perhaps janty. If you were early to get on the Janty website it said "First 100 to buy the minifogger clicker here to get a discount"! So I clicked, it then had me fill out a registration which I took as a registration for my new minifogger. It turns out it was a forum owned by some guy name knidstickler not Janty. Someone who never introduced himself to me, or I was even told was joining his website, and then by getting admission to the forum I got a "coupon code" to reduce the price a little of my minifogger. It was a classic bait and switch and I fell for it. I was so offended I started a poll here to take it down. They in turn banned me from the site. Which is fine.


Good riddance.

Yes I seen it but never clicked it. So whats the URL? Did you get banned? You're saying it was a scam to register yourself as a member to another forum to get the coupon code? That's a bit dodgy.

Yeah, the forum I believe was discussed in another thread somewhere. Apparently the guy that runs the forum works with Janty on their products, destroying any chance of the forum being "fair and balanced" without Janty's obvious ties with the forum. The fact that they are linking the forum directly from their website and the ban they've placed on bri only validates my suspicions about the forum, Ludo's claim that the forum was not effected by their business ties, and Janty's credibility as a company as a whole.

Again, not surprised at all.

Yes a scam if you must use those words. A sly strategy where probably this Kundsucker guy paid janty a measly 15 dollars to push me to go onto HIS site. Or perhaps Janty owed him a favor or two? When you clicked on BUY MINIFOGGER it said "Click Here to be one of the first 100 Minifogger owners to get a free discount"! And I was never told I was leaving Janty's site. Never introduced to Knudsucker. Never told "Your getting this discount IF you join knudsuckers site". Nothing like that. I was completely mislead. Yes I had to register I think to get my order of the minifoggers. For all I know Janty maybe thought they were doing me a favor. The truth my information is worth more to me then 15 dollars or whatever discount I got. Others probably did it willingly and were not as niave as I was, But I was niave but that does NOT MEAN they have the right to sway me to register on someone elses forum.... Like one of those friggen pop up boxes would do on a pron site or something. If it was a pop up, I would have known NOT to click".

I understand the frustration, the main problem is that you would of had to disclose your email address to the forum and now you are on the spam list hehe.

Hmm? the real main problem is I never wanted to give my information to anyone but Janty, and I certainly didn't want to join another forum. Especially without being informed that that indeed was occuring. Ok my rant is over. I will forgive and move on with life, but I shall not forget. Besides Karma will hit them, those first 100 buyers were probably the most interested and loyal janty customers they HAD.

I sort of do not understand where the problem exactly lies. I used a coupon code from THIS forum in a reputable UK e-shop where I got discount and some extra carts. No big deal. If I did not like this forum, I could never return here.

The same for Janty undercover forum. You register, enter coupon code, get a discount and nobody forces you to ever return there. Oh, you gave them you e-mail. Well, well. Mailinator - Let Them Eat Spam! !!! Never give your e-mail to strange men in overcoats offering you candy. Just use any name@mailinator.com (no password use, find more on the webside), get your registration e-mail/link there and forget the whole affair.

Probably. I saw some big names from here posting there, so I really do not see the problem.

I would rather like to know if the foggers are being shipped already (apart from that one in the USA which was delivered in person). I would like to get the one I bought. Especially after seeing how it outperfomed the Omnipotent Screwdriver :D

Outperformed the SD?? In the first video the screwdriver had a battery that was used for 6 hours. I didn't see very much evidence of it outperforming the SD in the second video...
