Got my TITAN

[Papa Lazarou]

Hmm. Not good. One of my atomisers has died already, and the other one seems to be slightly narrower so the carts don't fit.

Ditto. First one died quickly. The second one survives but is a very tight fit for the cartridges. Other people have had other issues (it seems some of the chargers supplied by Joye were not up to scratch).

I am happy to say that TECC have been very good about it and sent me out a new atomiser without question or insisting the bad one came back first. Can't say fairer than that really.

 

[BadSeed]

My charger seems fine. Just the same as my Dura one.

I've reported the problem back to the electronic cigarette company so hopefully they should send me out replacements fine. At least I've now got four batteries for my Dura in the meantime.

 

[Smokin]

Sorry to hear this BadSeed, I had hoped that this supplier might have received a better batch; no sense in my thinking though as the fault is obviously at source.

I hope the issue is resolved quickly, which being TECC, I have no doubt it will be.

oohh , that's not good badseed. keep us posted

I've had my TITAN for 4 days now. It's a great ecig but I'm having similar problems I'm afraid. One of my original atomizers was too narrow for the cart to fit properly. It actually shaved strips off the cart as I pushed it in. Like Papa's experience, TECC were very good and sent me out another atomizer without wanting the dud one in return. Unfortunately, I received the replacement this morning and it has exactly the same problem. Strangely enough though, I had ordered a couple of spares which I received today too and they seem fine so far. Seems like the parts for this ecig are a bit of a lucky dip!

Problems aside though, it is a really great smoke. The throat hit is far superior to my Penstyle, 901 or Evo. It's kept me completely off analogues since Tuesday now. First time ever.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Someone has mentioned using a small file to solve the problem of the overtight atomisers.. Its going to be a fraction of a millimetre of material causing the issue...

 

[Matt36]

Good idea Papa. I might give that a try. I don't really want to be asking for replacements all the time.

By the way, did you have a white glue like substance stuffed under the atomizer bridge? I'm guessing it's primer but I've never seen primer look like that before. It doesn't seem to completely disappear either after smoking it for a while.

 

[tribalmasters]

Is it not a good idea for me to buy one just yet or do you think I should just go for it??

 

[Papa Lazarou]

There is something under there. I'm not sure what it is though. Some sort of high temperature glue? As far as I'm aware primer is just a liquid added to the atomiser to stop it burning up on first use. Not a solid lump. I tried to take a picture but it didn't come out very well on it.

 

[Matt36]

I was wondering whether the glue like substance might be there to help in stopping the atomizer from burning out? I've just never had this on any other ecig. I don't mind it being there as long as I'm not inhaling something really bad. So far, it hasn't affected my breathing or made me feel ill or anything.

Tribal, if you like having a consistent throat hit and you're not getting that with any other ecig, then go for it. The issues I'm having so far are tight atomizers, leaky carts, but apart from that, the vapour for me is the most similar to real smoke, in the way it feels and the way it hits and coats my throat. If all these issues were fixed, then it would be the closest I've found to the perfect ecig so far.

My Opinion, The Titan / 510 / Yeti / Beast Are Just The Left Over Defective Janty Dura's from Joye Tech Factory that Janty Does Not Want Due to The High Failure Rate....

No Where Do I see any Fixes from The Dura, only some changes that prove the factory making them is a 3rd grade factory that makes crap...

Now c'mon Cellmeister, don't be shy. Tell us what you Really think.

I have had my Titan for a week now, and the batteries and Atomiser seem fine.

the only problem I am having is that if I refill the carts (with Totally Wicked Mbro/Hilton as its all I have) After about 10 draws, the battery cut off comes in after 2 seconds, as if the cart is dry ? its like the liquid is too thick, but tried thinning it a bit and its the same.

Has anyone else had this problem ?

The prefilled carts seems OK, but do seem to "dry out" while there is still plenty of Juice in the cart.

 

[Tennisbob]

Seem to be having similar problems Neal, waiting for 2 atomisers to be replaced which are the old type, not sure if this was the problem or the carts causing the problem but just seemed to be a short lifespan...couple of draws seemed ok then seemed to be hard work with little vapour and no hit

I have had a horrible experience with my Titan case. The first day I wrote them that the lid would not stay shut and someone named Stacey said to return the case. I never heard back from them so I filed a dispute with Paypal. This is how they responded.

# 5/14/2009 05:49 PDT - Seller: The goods were sent out and received in good order.. The customer has returned them to us damaged and badly used..This is not as the customer claims a faulty item, but in fact a broken product from mis use,,.. We have returned the items back to her as it does not fall under our returns policy.. Which is to replace faulty items up to 7 days from date off receipt, the customer is aware of this when putchasing. we dfo not agree to refund damaged goods.

I have proof that I shipped them back to them the very next day .. Paypal canceled the dispute in their favor. I have all my communications with them starting with the email I sent the same day it arrived broken. And shipping confirmation for the next day.

I hate to say it but "Buyer Beware." Apparently the Electronic Cigarette Company in the UK does NOT stand behind their product.. I am very disappointed and out $150 ...

Where can I get manual batteries for the Titan . . . other than TW. Their batteries seem to be pretty expensive.

thanks

My kit should be coming in Monday, so I'll let you know how the atomizers work. I spoke with Patti at the company and she said the atomizer issues have been resolved. Only time will tell.

 

[Joe Joe]

The PCC kit came today! yay!

Haven't got the PCC fully charged yet, but assumed the battery that was in the PCC was already fully charged, so I "lit" up and about 15 puffs into it, it's working REALLY REALLY well!

First thing I noticed is it is beautiful!! It's a matte finish and the gold band has "510TITAN" engraved in it. It is the nicest looking of my cigs.

Regarding the infamous 510 atomizer, this particular model has 2 holes in the atomizer, not 4, so it is the updated atomizer.

2nd, When I took my first it, it gargled a lot, so I primed it with a lil ry4 and now it's sexy!

3rd thing I noticed are the automatic batteries are electromagnetic, not mechanical. I'm not sure if I like that yet. It's an easy and smooth draw, but noticed it does react to LOUD noise. It's not sensitive, so it may be okay.

I'll get back to you later about the PCC and battery life. yay!
