Just thought I would mention this as I recieved 3 packs of carts from Janty Euro,
1 pack had slightly different carts to the other 2 packs info about this I am explaining below.

janty Dura cart V Dura C cart.
There are 2 types of carts I have that fit the Dura C that
came with my Dura C Set from Europe.
The Cart that use too fit the Dura leaks liquid at the join
also into the mouth at times when you draw on it.
They Fixed this with a new Cart for the Dura C.
The Dura type leaks liquid a little at the join and to the
small draw hole that you draw the vapor through, thus getting liquid into your mouth,

The Dura C type does not leak in any way liquid at the join
or to the small draw hole.
How to see the Differents between the 2 different Carts.
The external difference between the 2 types is the flat
sections that inserts into the atomizer.
The longer flat section leaks,
The shorter flat section does not leak.
To check which type you have I have added these
measurements below of the flat section insert area.

Dura: Cart (Leaks)
Length of flat areas: 8mm
Gap/Width between the 2 flat area's: 7mm
Hole on each side of the flat area: 0.5mm (ish)

Dura C: Cart (Does not Leak)
Length of flat areas: 7mm (larger gap of full round area from the join giving a better seal)
Gap/Width between the 2 flat area's: 6.3mm
Hole on each side of the flat area: 0.7mm (ish)

2 weeks and still going strong. I also don't like the battery life. I do like the little "tougher" drag from having the smaller hole.

Overall, good so far. I ordered another one because they don't sell the atomizers individually. I needed to create my rotational system with the Dura-C like I did with the KBC. So, I will have 4 batteries, 4 atomizers, and 2 chargers in rotation. We call it "redundancy". :)

Thanks for that info Stylopora. I've had my Dura C for nearly 2 weeks now and have many carts from them but they all leak and they leak a lot! Do you know of any supplier where they send out the new style carts only?

I've gotten the newer carts from Electronicstix.com Don't know if they are all newer carts, but I specifically asked for them and that is what was sent. I've not had a leaking prob yet. Have had 3 atoms die though.

I just received my Dura-C order from Janty. After charging the battery for 8 hours like the instructions said, I tried taking a puff from the ecig. Unfortunately, I was only able to get 2 or 3 puffs in before the battery seemingly gave out! I charged it for a few more hours just to make sure, and again the same problem. Anyone else have this issue? Any Janty Mods here? I've had trouble communicating with the supplier in the past. Can I get my battery replaced?

I have had my Dura-C for almost 3 weeks and love it. I haven't had any issues with Carts leaking and the components seem to work pretty well. Already the battery life seems to be getting worse, lasting only a few hours if that. Since they are manual batteries it really depends on how much I'm vaping in a day but all in all I love the product. I have 3 atomizers and they are all still working fine.

Janty's liquid is awesome in my book. So far I haven't found any that give me the same throat hit. I'm tempted to try TW liquid but the stock in the US isn't so good. We'll see! I must admit I prefer my penstyle from PureSmoker for vaping while at home, tons of vapor and the carts seem to last a good long time (of course they are also much bigger).

I would like to try a different cart - like the kissbox or penstyle carts - does anyone know if I can order the carts for the DSE901/4075 and will they fit?
thx

I just tried my 901 carts (the ones that have a similar aotmizer end as the 510) and it works like a charm. Much easier draw. Not sure about leakage issues though.

I think I have to fill the cart up with a little less ejuice to prevent leakage.. The only thing I hate about the dura-c is this leaky cartridge issue... not a dealbreaker, but definitely an annoying peeve.

They changed the design a bit to try and stop that, but haven't been entirely successful. At the moment it seems to be a lottery whether you get the old or new style cart - I got two boxes in the same order, one new-style and one old.

Like you, I find it a bit irritating but not a deal breaker because the Dura performs so well in every other respect. Besides, from a hygiene perspective it's got to be a good thing to keep wiping the mouthpiece clean.

I ordered the 510 from Vapor Guys (who are not carrying them at present time) and always had leaky carts, some worse than others. WTF, a manufacturing flaw, I guess.

When I received an atomizer from Janty it was, I assume, the new cart design. I should say that it was an empty, no filling, just a protective dummy. I took stuffing out of a 510 cart for filler. The Janty cart has the longer "lobes", where it butts to the atomizer at the joint. It does not leak, but sucks air at that joint. WTF again. Not leak, yet draws air through the joint?

I absolutley love my Dura-c....the only down side is the batteries don't seem to lost very long (about 2-3 hours) but that seems to be the norm. I have not had any problems with leaking at all.

I agree, I don't know why I was under the impression the battery's would last longer than the 901. I know somewhere in posts someone said it lasts longer because of no led to drain the charge..and hey does yours just stop suddenly when it need's a charge? BTW I am not getting the leaky carts at all either..
