Hi guys, I got my kissbox classic, charged up my battery etc.

First off, my automatic switch doesn't seem to be working properly. For one, I get very little vapor off it on most puffs, it doesn't seem consistent. Secondly, it seems to keep running/sizzling for like 5-6 seconds after I'm done my puff, wont this just cause the atomizer to burn out much faster?

The manual switch seems to work good. Lots of vapor.


It works great though with the manual switch, aside from the taste. Anyone know if maybe my automatic is defective?


edit: Jeff helped me out with it. May need a new automatic switch but that's alright cause I think I prefer the manual anyways. Will try it again tomorrow and see how it works, but he said he'd glady send out a new one if needed. so all is good! Works well overall with the manual, just don't like the taste of the mint cartridge

Now, I remember someone or some people saying that the Janty cartridges are the best tasting of all cartridges. So far, I'm very disapointed! lol. I put in a mint cartridge, I do not like the taste at all. It tastes like grass or something. Pretty nasty! I have 3 boxes of this mint. :(

I also have tobacco, heavy tobacco, and marlboro. But I am not looking forward, because people are saying the tobacco flavours tastes like soap! lol

First of all I find that atomiser on these and the sedansa are quite lively and don't tend to cut off all ways straight away after you've taken a drag I think when your battery goes down a slightly you might find it cutting off more like it should.
But five or six seconds afterwards seems a little bit too much but I have had this myself on both models . I think it's more of a fresh battery thing.
And I also think that when it's doing that could cause burning the atomiser out or that's what causes majority of the burning taste when that comes and goes. That's where I think it benefits from a manual switch and perhaps the reason it is really there.
But I don't think the atomiser is faulty I think it's just how these two brands atomisers work but I could be wrong.
I did send you a p.m. regarding what to do before you first fired this up.
My advice please please try some sedansa cartridges. I have also found that various different flavours also varies the vapour which a lot of people have already talked about I think.
Sedansa cartridges will fit your Janty kissbox classic the atomiser is identical except for the paint job and logo.


The atomiser on these do tend to get very very warm so just step off when this happens for a while.

Ya I dont like that. I tend to take very small puffs, so my atomizer (on my njoy) is very rarely even warm. I take a small puff on this, and it continues to work and get hot.

Manual seems to work very well though, lots of vapor and dont have to pull long. I think I will just stick to manual, it doesnt seem like much of a hastle to me to push the button, so I dont mind

if it keeps going after the puff stops there is something wrong with it.. its gonna run your battery down quicker and wear the atomizer out quicker..

and if they have to include a manual switch cos their auto switch dosnt work properly well say no more..

odd how folks make excuses for an expensive product thats faulty but dont allow the same elastic judgment for a cheap one..

I honestly think that this is a combination of new atomiser and brand new battery combined but this is only my personal opinion and I certainly don't profess to be some kind of expert or pretend to be won to. And I think none of us here are really. We just have two share our actual experiences.
I'm just going by what actual experiences that I have had so far with the products that I have bought.



As I said before this happened to me on two jantys and two sedansa's and after a couple of days use this problem had gone away.


And if you look I used the word perhaps regarding manual switch.


I am also making no excuses for a more expensive product it's just that the atomiser on these expensive products are more lively and responsive than on the cheaper copies . I have bought nearly everything out there and you can't compare top brands to the cheaper copies there just ain't no comparison.
But people will still disagree what ever you say. And I also understand we are not all fortunate to be able to buy the more expensive products and have to stay within our budget.


I wish we all could get together in one room and test drive all these products
But that is my personal opinion through my experience so far


For example the cheaper pen styles have harder draw. Like sucking your face off.


A friend of mine came round tonight who is a very picky. Fussy . More of a perfectionist type of guy who has a supermini and mini 901 who tried my cheaper pens then I gave him the Janty and the sedansa to try


So he tried the cheaper pens first. I said what do you think is reply was you have to suck your brains out to get something this . So then he tried the Janty and then sedansa.

his reply to these that he could not really tell the difference out of either the Janty or sedansa
but they have the same atomiser anyway just a different paint job


Then the first thing he said then was could I order him one has he loved it I asked him what he liked about it .first thing he said a nice easy draw plenty of vapour nice hit perhaps a little too much for him but I do use high-strength cartridges where he does not.

the problem is ned some generics have an east draw too.. to assume that only the expensive name brands do is using that elastic judgment i mentioned earlier..

there does seem to be a pattern at work.. buy one cheapo it turns out to be duff.. ergo all cheapos are duff.. buy an a expensive brand it turns out to be duff.. make every excuse that can be thought of as to why..

really ned.. a combination of new battery and switch as an excuse for the thing not working properly dont really fly.. neither does your assumption that all generic pen styles are hard to draw thru..

hard to draw thru simply means a poor generic just like a switch that dosnt work as it should simply means a poor none generic..

there are enough comments about faulty janty components on this forum to suggest the product isnt quite there yet.. plus more excuses for them than i can shake a stick at..

the point is,it should be arriving in perfect working order for something that costs that much money...isnt this a premium brand?so where is the quality control?
my generic supplier has never sent me anything that hasnt worked straight from the box...so what does that tell us?

Janty seem to be quite happy to send people any old parts,and then run a rear guard strategy...in effect,the consumer is the quality control...too bad if they get a non working unit straight from the box...

replacing parts after the event...the customer waiting around for something that should have worked well immediately considering the money theyve spent...well,i dont think thats good enough...and its rife with the kissbox.

i honestly dont know how people can be bothered with the replacement merry-go-round that is the kissbox...ive had 3 of them,and they just arent a good enough product to be worth the hassle...
