Janty KissBoxes

[ned Zeppelin]

is it possible that the silver and black stuff are from different batches?

They both had 18th of July on quality control cards. It's just baffling me.
The black atomiser on the top where you put your mouthpiece in was all chipped and the mouthpiece does not fit tight like it normally does and tends to leak slightly.
Also the gold band at the bottom of it atomiser the paint with logo on its fading rapidly.
The silver one with this one battery playing up also on the silver manual switch fits crooked.
So I will try and get these replaced but I thought I would test drive them for the week .
I just wondered how long these batteries are supposed to last for as on getting only two hours plus but they are welded to my lips of most of the time so who knows.
But I just love the way these smoke . Best one I think I've had as well as the sedansa.


Have you tried their tobacco and Marlborough cartridges as I am finding them very soapy type tasting.

I don't understand why some poster feel the constant need to constantly bash Janty.

I'm getting irritated, we've heard you.

Leave it alone now.

the janty lovers by far out number the janty bashers.. we have heard u..

but what do we have here.. faulty part after faulty part.. these faulty parts are being sent out to customers.. they should not be.. its shoddy..

okay janty US or whatever are at the mercy of what the chinese factories send them.. so far the chinese factories seem to be sending out unreliable junk.. janty are shipping out this unreliable junk with a promise things will get better..

lets hope it does get better..

trog

ps.. rat u should at least make sure the review product does work and is all there.. if it isnt or dosnt.. tell the company to send u one that is all there and does at least work in a basic fashion and fit together properly..

how to avoid embarrassing moments for all.. he he

I am having the same problem Ned, and hope someone answers your question about how long they normally last. My original batteries were from the same batch, not sure if the replacements Jeff sent me were or not.

But the replacements are doing the same thing, which I'll let him know when I send the others back now. I also noticed that in spite of Ludo and several others commenting that the charger should turn green in under an hour, both on the first charger and the new one the led stays red with these batteries for about the same amount of time the batteries last, about two to two and half hours. I let them charge the full four each time, but nothing, they all die somewhere between two and three hours.

I even went through the sixteen then four voodoo ritual first. <G>

Oh, and my batteries are all black and behaving that way, so I don't think its the different color.

cheap chinese poor quality batteries .. probably around 200 mah..

some maths.. the heater coil draws around one amp each time u puff..

lets say each puff is five seconds.. 1000 ma for five seconds.. a 200 mah battery run time at the most would be ten minutes max.. divide five seconds into the ten minutes..

5 into 600 = 120 puffs.. then the battery is flat..

two hours would be one puff every one minute.. these are not real world figures.. allowing for internal resistance losses and the battery flashing off when around 20% of the charge is left.. the number of puffs would be far less..

a poor battery might be less than 200 mah.. we have some new 901 types that only have a run time of around two hours..

your questions are answered.. more chinese junk..

trog, a non working product isn't embarrassing for me at all. I'm sure it is to the manufacturer or seller. Usually i open the package on video so i have no demo time before i start the review. This was an exception. but i was trying to do it as close as possible to my normal system. all i did was charge the batteries and then i sat down to do the review.

Ned - I have found the Janty Marlborough and NR4 cartridges too sweet for my liking.

I really liked the initial batches of medium and high strength normal tobacco cartridges that I ordered.

However, a recent batch of medium strength normal that was shipped from France last month has a totally different taste. It is like something I would expect to find at the dentist.

I am very disappointed. I don't know if it is a quality issue or whether they have changed the formula but I do not find them very nice.

My Janty batteries have been lasting all day. So have my wife's. I usually leave them on the charger all night. I'm a foremer 2 pack a day smoker who is down to two packs a week Don't particularly care for the Janty menthol. Bought some e-cig.com menthol cartridges before they stopped shipping and they taste much better. Much more smoke also.

something odd is going on here..

some guys say their janty battery only lasts a couple of hours.. a heavy smoker type pops up and says his lasts all day..

something odd indeed.. rat pans the crown 7.. leaford loves it...

this place is getting silly.. who can we believe.. nobody it seems.. odd..

Sorry Kit, i don't know what you mean.

I can quite understand why some have batteries that last all day and others die a death within minutes.

In my opinion the entire industry (new as it is) suffers from dire quality control.

If manufacturers/suppliers want to take this mainstream they are gonna have to get a grip on this and fast.

I smoked the same brand of cigarettes for 20 years. When I bought a packet I knew what I was buying. If e-cigs are to make inroads into tobacco use then they are going to have to perform equally well. Smokers expect this.

 

[trog100]

it not understandable hector.. some of the claims being made are just too good to be true..

to some research into lithium cells.. the ones being used in our e-cigs cannot last longer than a certain time.. even the good ones.. four hours of heavy use perhaps.. two perhaps.. find out how long a 150 mah lithium cell will deliver five times its rated capacity for then u will know exactly why some of the claims being made are too good to be true..

its nothing to do with new technology.. its all to do with supplied battery not being up to the job its supposed to do.. the desire to have small cigarette like devices has its problems.. the biggest problem is not being able to fit a battery thats capable of powering the heater coil for long enough..

in short we are being sold a product thats doomed to failure as soon as it comes out of the box..

I have the same problem. Read any of the reviews. All brands have problems. It makes it difficult to determine which one to buy. I have had an Njoy and Janty Kissbox. Both are good smokers. The ones I bought from e-cig.com were crap in comparison. With the reliability problem in the industry, the only thing you can do is buy a couple of spares. I now have 2 extra atomizers and batteries for my Kissbox. Hope I'll never need them.

Leave it alone now.

because this is a forum,and we have the right to our opinions...
it irritates me to hear lots of people constantly making excuses for Jantys lack of quality control,and not standing up for themselves...however i dont try and silence them...

Janty-put some quality control system in place,start testing the stuff before sending it out,thats all im saying...its disappointing when things arrive not working or working badly.

 

[NerdyCinderella]

I don't understand the debate nor the problem here.
They ALL breakdown regularly!!!
It breaks down to what and who are you willing to pay for the service and product; what is convenient and practical for oneself.

i have got my kissbox from the first batch(of cause long stories of USB replacement etc). i complain for the battery life (after 2 weeks of use its last from 30min to 1hour), recently Janty send to me a new one from the last 4th batch; battery life is better, but still very unstable: some time its work for 3 hours, some time 1 hours.. so i notice in the new manual is written that after led turn green its still have to be on charge for 3-4 houres.. VERY strange ;-(, the short time of charging the batteries was the most advanced part of KISSBOX ;-(, dont know what to say..my old cheap bat from e-cig still more reliable .

 

[Mr.Darcy]

yeah,but im talking about straight from the box nerdy.
anyway,im done on the subject...its just a waste of time.

 

[karenwest1961]

Ummm, rat? Thanks for the videos anyway. I got a lot out of them. Are you getting another USB? Are you going to do another vid when you get it?

 

[BigBuxNoWhammy]

not surprised you get liquid in your mouth man, it looks like you suck on these thing insanely hard lol. your cheeks go all in and stuff.

 

[RatInDaHat]

I'll do another review when i get the new usb to see how it fits up and works.

I only usually draw hard enough to get the light to turn on. I draw into my mouth and then inhale, not directly into my lungs.

The unknown quantity here is how many DOA's Janty US will have. they just started shipping so i guess we will see.

No, he did not charge the battery, he said it came straight out the box......

If the battery is not charged you will get some juice in your mouth.
