..And this was my first E-Cig

 

[Mr.Darcy]

we all need a backup or two in this game mate...or a few spares on hand for a sole unit in case of emergencies...

i can appreciate your concern about wanting a hot cig...i dont think id last long without my ecigs,and ive been off fags for 5 months...

fingers crossed you get the Janty package quickly...then hopefully you can start to enjoy the experience...

 

[Mr.Darcy]

..And this was my first E-Cig

i know its frustrating,but dont let it put you off...we all go through device failure at some stage.
if its any consolation,my first ecig was a dud...but i persevered,and now im so glad i did.
dont worry,itll all come good,youll see.

I'm quite new to the e cig thing. My first e cig was a horrible mini of e bay, but the very few good draws I got from that showed me that they work, so I got me a sedansan diva that works really well. I clean it nearly every day and I get lots of vapor, no liquid in the mouth with the pen style.

I haven’t tried boiling mine yet, normally just hot and cold running water, but today I cleaned it with some Listerine original mouth wash, maybe next time I will try mild and minty. the taste of the mouth wash go’s really quickly. I think the alcohol in it does the job. Then I dry it with an airbed foot pump. When I first started cleaning it I thought I killed it, but then it dried up, and the results told me that a clean vaporizer = a happy gnu.

Got my replacement battery and atomizer now.
New atomizer works perfectly and the new battery also, though I put it for the 12 - 16 hours charge now. Tested the new atomizer with the battery I had problems with and it truely is not working. and also the old atomizer aint working so i'm sending them back to janty now.

Thanks for the quick replacement parts!! I'm very positive for Janty being so quick!

Jimmy: You may know this already but be sure when using a syringe to fill your cartridges that you use a large gauge needle to fill them. Get at least a 16-gauge needle.

Midwest Vapor, a company I found through this forum as a supplier, offers a 3ml, 16-gauge syringe for drawing up the e-liquid and then injecting the liquid into your cartridges. The link is midwestvapordotcom then go to the DIY section for the syringe. (the forum won't let me post urls yet b/c I don't have enough posts posted to submit them yet. I'm sorry to have to send you to their site then the link but it's sort of out of my control. Regardless, forgive me for that but know Midwest Vapor is a great company with kind employees who are more than willing to help a customer.

They are a wonderful company with the most kind, courteous, and helpful people. I am utterly in awe of their courtesy and kindness.

BTW, you might be having the same problem I seem to be having although you might have it under control by now. I believe the reason I keep having to switch back, at least a few times a day, to the analogs is because of the strength of the nicotine in the cigarettes. I'm waiting on an order from Midwest of the 36mg liquid to find out if it will reduce the cravings for the analog cigarettes. I'm not sure if they will have more in stock but you could write them to find out. Again, they are a great company. Just tell them that Samantha send you their way and that I send my warmest regards for their assistance and kindness.

Warmest regards,

Paisley (of course, aka Sam)

I'm definitely not a troll. This is my first electronic cigarette and I joined this forum becouse I want to know if anyone else is having same issues or if there's a simple solution to it that I can fix at home without returning my product.

I've just had the feeling that 1 cartridge is equal to one pack of cigarettes so one cartridge should be enough for day.

so the main problem is that the cartridge and batteries empty too quickly in my opinion.

Leaford is right on the mark. Plus, you have to take into consideration how heavy of a smoker you were. I mean did you smoke light or ultra lights or were you a 2-pack a day full-flavor 100's smoker or chain smoker a day? If so, then you will go through lots of liquid until your body acclimates to the nicotine milligrams. I also agree with what he/she said about the cart equaling a pack. That's total bunk unless you were an ultra light smoker who only lights up after one meal.

Many of us, myself included were 1-2 pack a day smokers before e-cigs came out and contrary to your beliefs, the e-cigs have quite literally saved our lives for the here and now and in the grand scheme of things. My doctor is so happy with me he doesn't know what to do. I've had wheezing and crackles in my chest for years. I've been smoking since I was about 12-13 years old. I quit once for about 2 years then started again and didn't stop until after I began using the e-cig.

I will admit here that I did supplement my initial e-cig habit initially with 1 to sometimes 2 or 3 analog cigarettes those first two weeks after beginning the e-cigs; however, I found out for me (I'm not an expert nor can I give medical advice or anything; this is just my own personal findings through trial and errors processes) that if I upped my nicotine liquid milligrams to somewhere around 36 to 40mg during the heavy "nic-fits" as I called them then I could make it through without an analog cigarette. By the end of the second week, I was analog free. Even now, if I get stressed out or upset, I bump up the nicotine levels in my e-cig and it gets me through the rough spots.

Right now I have a little over a half a pack of cigarettes (full flavor 100's) that is one pack of 3 that I bought on July 1st while waiting for my e-cig to deliver. I haven't touched that pack but one time since I began on July 7th then found that I could up the nicotine milligrams to get over the rough patches. I attempted to smoke an analog just to see if the difference was in my head or if I was making progress. Do you know what I found? I found that the analog cigarettes nearly choked me to death. I hated the smell and I hated the taste. You have to take into consideration that I spent a great deal of my formative years barning tobacco doing everything from cropping in the fields to handing to stringing on tobacco sticks to tossing up (which means a few people make a chain tossing up full sticks of green tobacco to hang in a barn from the rafters to the bottom before the heated curing process begun; when it come to tobacco, I've done it all including tasting the tobacco in a pipe or rolling it in paper to test the cured tobacco before taking it off to the auction sales.) I used to love the smell of tobacco curing. It was sort of like coming home because I spent so many years working in tobacco. If I wasn't barning tobacco I was at the coast pulling nets, setting and checking crab pots or working on trawlers for extra money to buy school clothes.

If I have trouble with tasting a tobacco cigarette I think anyone can.

Another thing you need to take into consideration is the fact that perhaps you haven't found your ideal e-cigarette. There are many on the market. I am fortunate enough to have two e-cigarettes, both Janty products. I truly enjoy the Janty Stick but I also have the Janty Dura-C, which is akin to the Yenti you claim to own. The only difference between the two is that my Janty Dura-C is a manual e-cig, which means it has a button I push to activate the atty, and my Dura is black, not white. It works the exact same way.

I've discovered that if you over-fill the cartridge you are more apt to get e-liquid in your mouth too. It can also cause your atty to overfill to the point where it will stop working because it's flooded. Most often it takes nothing more than allowing the atty to drain out then remove some of the fluid from your cartridge and start again only this time don't lift the e-cig upside down to vape it. Hold it at a horizontal or a slight downward position. It also doesn't hurt to tap the cartridge slightly before taking that first drag.

The best thing I can say about the Janty stick, which is a wonderful product, is that it holds considerably more e-liquid and it puts out lots of vapor; however, the same rules apply. You cannot overfill the cartridge or risk flooding the atty. You might considering changing over to the Janty Stick. or you might want to wait until the release of the new Cameo E-cig by Janty.

One thing you need to remember to make your progress with e-cigs a success is that this is a new product. It is like a brand new thing that still has bugs and areas where improvement is necessary; however, at the same time you need to remember that the purpose of the e-cigs other than the business of turning a profit (all businesses are in business for this reason so you can't fault them for it; at least the e-cigs companies, most at least, DO CARE about their customers, Janty is such a company!) but these businesses come up with a way to allow smokers to get the nicotine jolt without all the dangerous carcinogens and toxins found in smoking analog cigarettes. If the FDA and other government agencies will stay out of the way, I believe these companies will literally reinvent "smoking" aka "vaping" in a safer manner so that fewer people become sick and die from the carcinogens found in tobacco cigarettes. So far, they only a few have price-gouged so we must give them KUDOS for this no matter what. Sure there are some unscrupulous companies out there but that can be said of any business that produces any product available on the market today but most are fair and even-handed giving the customer the benefit of the doubt.

A prime example is that my atty and both batteries stopped working properly not long after I began using the e-cig Dura-C. I contacted Janty and asked if there was any way they could replace my atty and batteries but do so in a manner that would not force me to go back to analog cigarettes because the e-cigs were making a huge difference in the way I felt with regards to my having lupus (SLE) and Sjogren's disease. The company was kind enough to send me what I needed and allowed me to send back the parts that were going out on me. I haven't had problem one from the new set they sent. I was so extremely thankful that Janty was kind enough to send out the parts allowing me to remain analog free while waiting for the return.

I don't care what anyone says about Janty at this point in time. In the time I have been dealing with them, they have been a stand up company with stand-up employees that care about what their customers think about their products. They are among the top 10 of e-cig companies who have earned my trust and my respect.

That's just my opinion, your mileage may vary...

Hello all,
Thanks for the forum and hopefully on the way to being an e-smoker soley. As of now I mix e-smoking and real cigarettes. Though I am smoking less of the real ones. I think going with the high nic. from janty will help also with the RY4 flavor. The MLB seems too sweet when it shouldnt be. The wife however loves the apple and has ceased smoking real cigs altogether. Stronger will power I guess.

Jimmy: Don't know if this will work for you or not but when I began having my analog nic fit cravings, I finally just upped the e-liquid milligrams to a higher level. I started at 36 then went to 40 and it was a great fit. I finally was able to wean myself down to 36 and now I am bouncing between 24 and 36 with the higher bounce back to the 24mg.

My doctor, whom I have to see monthly for lupus checkups is ecstatic. He checked my lungs using the stethoscope just as he has hundreds of times before but on Aug 14th he was totally and utterly amazed. My chest sounds had no wheezes, crackles, franks, or thrills (all related to smoking). He thought perhaps I'd finally quit but I showed him the e-cig (Janty's Dura-C) and how it worked as well as leaving him information from the Auckland University test trials from New Zealand and the pulmonologists and other doctors who have witnessed the sweeping changes in patients who have switched over to the e-cigs from analogs. It truly blew this man away. He could NOT believe his ears and he checked my breath sounds a few times over just to make sure he wasn't NOT hearing things he had heard hundreds of times. The same thing happened during my September appt. It will happen again when my October appt comes up too. I can breath. I can taste things again. I don't have the smoker's cough either.

I did tell him that I coughed up so much crud early on after I began using the e-cig, coughing to the point that others agree where it feels as if I was coughing up a lung but instead it was dark ugly sputum. It was the gunk that was caught in the lungs after smoking analog cigarettes for so many years. He was so excited that he said he wished all his smoking patients would switch over to the e-cigarettes based on my progress alone.

In the early days and weeks I basically used the e-cig almost in pacifier mode but over time I find that I am not vaping as much anymore and I don't get so totally bent out of shape when I have to leave home and the comfort of the USB pass-through connected to my computer. I just make sure I have a full bottle of e-liquid of choice, my e-cig, cartridges, the power inverter for the vehicle, and my charger so I won't run out of battery juice. It's an odd feeling but I am thankful for it. The longer I go the less anxious I get about being out away from home and computer for the USB pass-through and charger units. I am even debating saving up enough money to buy one of those USB to car charger units so I can just charge the batteries or use the USB-pass-through while in the car and saving my batteries for when we go out.

Today my MIL gave me an early birthday present. She gave me the money for me to go to the hairdresser to get color, a cut, glaze, my eye brows plucked (waxed actually), and all prettied up because DH's niece is getting married on Saturday so we all are going to her wedding. Our little one will be a member, so to speak, of the wedding party. We will be at the hair dressers on Saturday before we leave to have her wash, dry, trim, style, and put up part the back in a French braid.

For the first time, I actually vaped in my hairdresser's building without any problems with the hairdresser or the salon's owner. In fact, they and a few customers had questions about my e-cig and were all amazed that it didn't give off the toxic fumes of smoking an analog cigarette. There is not much worse than going 2 hours or more without a cigarette especially when you can't step outside for one because the solution in your hair is bringing up the color and you don't want it to come up too much because it can and will damage your hair. I get highlights, actually dual highlights. I used to get quad colors but right now I can't afford them since DH got sick. I'm so tired and exhausted that I can't keep my freelance writing in high enough gear to pay for my hair habit but even if I could, it would all have to go to bills because we are surviving on my SSDI, which isn't much when you take out for a mortgage, utilities, and everything else not to mention raising a 12yo child whose academically advanced to the point of being 2 grade levels ahead of her classmates but not mature enough to move up those grade levels. I am pushing her hard to hold the Principal's list, which she has made 9 times out of 10 every year since she began receiving letter grades in the first grade. If I can help push her to keep her grades high enough perhaps she will qualify for a full scholarship to the college of her choice. Here's to hoping.
