Dura Owner Poll

LOL

Thanks Trog .... I guess my understanding was different. So, assuming you either have a protected charger or batt, you are good to go

yes... but there has to be at least one.. sticking a protected battery in a protected charger just means one shuts off before the other.. whichever triggers at the lowest voltage.. something has to do it thow..

all off the shelf chargers that say for lithium cells are protected.. not all batteries are thow..

but as u say assuming one or the other u are good to go..

Back to the subject.
My theory on the bad switches is that the internals of the switch were assembled backwards. It seems to perform better blowing into it than inhaling from it. Has anyone else noticed this?

 

[ROB26]

Devon, I can see why it would seem better when you blow directly in the battery; however, that is because you are bypassing the atomizer. I don't find that to be any reason to believe that they the switch was assembled backwards. It would be great if we were smoking batteries however.

I find it equally easy to blow or inhale into the batter, but can tell there is a bit of liquid inside either way.

 

[ROB26]

Devon, after testing your theory a bit....blowing into the light end of the battery and inhaling from the other end...and a few shakes...my battery has returned to form....it's not cutting out after a short draw and is smoking almost like new!

WOO HOO!

i've had my dura for 2 weeks now and the performance is pretty good from fully charged but does tend to diminish after about 2 hrs, but on average the batteries have been lasting 4-5 hrs which is good, until friday when one of the batteries started cutting out after 2 secs.
I have replacements on the way but going back to what Trog said, i take it the initial charge for the battery does not need to be for the 8 hrs as stated in the manual, as it will be fully charged when the green light comes on due to the protection circuit. Is this right ?

it used to say 16 hours with earlier janty products if i remember correctly..

but having attempted to but right misconceptions that many time on this place and pretty much failing totally.. i should have given up long ago.. numbers rule..

heh heh I was just trying to get in a little shuteye before work, So sue! me trog lol

But seriously i am counting down the days until the new batch of Dura's hit the e-cig stores, But i think i will try the 501 this time with the supposedly! improved atomizer and batts

-Janty has left me with a fowl taste in my mouth- pardon the pun

............................******* * * * * *******

And the 501 is obviously cheaper, So that helps! my decision some what

My new 510 is coming in the form of a Yeti. It will hopefully be arriving by the end of the week. I am still waiting on the atomizer from Janty. (I think it will be here tomorrow) Joye Technologies has been screwing up right and left lately. First the Dura mishap now apparently they shipped Altsmoke an entire shipment of 510s with red LEDs when they were supposed to have Blue. Frankly, I don’t care about the LED color, but it is the principal of their F up that bothers me. I think that ALL of their assembly personnel and managers need to be retrained, along with their Q.C. officers. I don’t blame Janty for this screw up I think the blame really falls on Joye Technologies. I don’t think it is a poor design problem I think it is an execution problem. Now I hope that they (Joye) have retrained and solved this mishap. However, I think that the suppliers that carry Joye products should have some rather stern conversations with them. As for the suppliers, I like both of them. Both Janty USA and Altsmoke (The only two I bought a 510 from) have absolutely wonderful customer service and I am quite impressed with how well they have dealt with the situations that Joye has put them in.

Now, I may edit this later. If I am out of line please tell me. (I promise I won’t be upset. Just PM me) As I am rather heavily medicated and will be for the next week or so. (Severely impacted wisdom tooth) Thank you. -Devon

Well by the looks of this threads poll around 3 out of 4 people have had one kind of problem with the Dura or another.

That's not! a very good percentages Janty, you need to lift ya game

(Or Joye Technologies does) either way the Dura has disappointed most people just! like the Kissbox did at its very own beginning way back when...

Janty should check there products before they send them out regardless if it has been checked already with the Q.C, So there is really no excuses in my book


If somebody here disagrees with me about this then please! say ya peace

Problems with 510 are not detected with standard QC practices. Most of the time the problems dont rear their head until hours after the first use. It would require a couple hours of use to truly test and identify defective parts. This is the reason why most sites that were going to carry the 510 have pulled them completely and are waiting on the Dura-C.

ahhhh! ok taleywhacker, i have been reading on other threads and see that you have a business relationship with Janty, so your bias is evident from what i read in some of the threads

No offence but you're probly not the right person for me to discuss this situation about Janty with.....

there would be no objectivity in any conversation about them

again no offence.....

But for everybody else, Janty's Dura should have come off Janty's web store shelves the minute it was clear about the massive problems with the Dura….a simple fact!

Other e-cig retailers and wholesalers *but not all* took there 510/Dura’s from there web site the second the wide spread defective problems where evident...so i read on other threads anyway

correct me if i am wrong........

 

[freddo]

my dura has started to cut out really quick, 2 second puffs then light goes then another 2 sec puff and light goes. My other battery works great, and so did this one until now. When i disconnect the battery and puff from it direct it is fine. Anyone know why? or a quick fix.

thanks
