Janty Mid - VV/VW, software and joystick

[kiwivap]

Here:
Mid Series

I'm not sure I like that it uses stacked proprietary batteries. It has a joystick instead of a push button.
Software.
Allows for some user designed features and color settings.

Now that really looks innovative!. And its got a joystick! Initial pricing at Janty is around $142.00, though. But who nows, it might be worth it! And hopefully, it may drop in price upon release.

The customizable voltage/wattage profiles could be perfect for the Pyrex/Hybrid wick we're working on in another thread. I just wonder if that Mid atomizer they are including is proprietary and if other devices will work on it.

I would not want proprietary batteries. It's the old razor blade scam where they can gouge you for replacements or decide to stop making them altogether.

I didn't notice the mid atomizer. It does look innovative! Very cool I thought. Has more features than the eVic. I'm just wondering about the batteries - what they are, what mah etc. And whether a larger single batt could be used.

These new pvs seem to me more like electronic cigarettes, if you know what I mean. They look like an "electronic" cig, in a techy sense.

I'll be interested to see test results. pbusardos vids will be of epic length with so much to review...

Id be really careful to buy this device until everyone sees some reviews. The alst device they put out people were getting dry hits and couldnt get the thing to work.. for me, will see fater 6 months or so how this holds up/ dont like hte proprietary battery either.. and I think theres more that you would have to buy from janty. not saying it isnt any good. but all the hype on the last device left a lot of bitter buyers wondering what happened..

Oh I wouldn't buy until test results were out here on ECF, other forums, or on youtube. I'm not rushing to get an eVic for the same reason. It's been popping up on other threads so I started a thread for it.
I do like the look of the joystick, and customizing it a bit. Wondered if anyone recognises the batts.

I think we'll see more of these kind of pvs.

According to the Janty store's website, they're 16340 high drain batteries, 550 mAh. I don't know if there's anything proprietary about them besides the wrapper.

Edit: They have updated the page linked in the OP. It now says "MiD 'One' will also work with off-the–shelf Li-ion RCR123 / RCR2 / 16340 / 17335 3.6/3.7V Li-ion 16340P (Protection) 3.6/3.7V batteries."

WOW! Now I know what to upgrade to(from my itaste VV tank). I was about to order a VAMO, but the flexibility of the real time ramping/dimming is awesome.
I am also working on a scubadan type tank with quartz tubing, and this device is necessary!
I just hope the first production run is reliable.

25 watts and 8 volts?

Slightly over the top in my opinion.
Using led color instead of voltage read out is kind of silly too, you have to remember the color for the corresponding output?

For the average or beginning vaper - probably. But I can see possiblilities...

Might tend to agree with the display, though. But then again, I don't particularly care for a big screen on my PV - I think it detracts from the looks.

8V is simply a consequence of using stacked bateries and pwm.
It should be a little lower that that for most of the batteries life cicle though (around 2x3,7=7,4V)
It's much more basic tech than the boost circuits in other VV/VW devices in the market, although more efficient. Good Boost circuits topically have efficiencies between 85-90%, and simple PWM circuits can have efficiencies close to 100%.
Not too crazy about the stacked batteries option for security reasons though. In the consumer market, when something can go wrong, even if it's very unlikely, it will.

I was just looking at the janty mid last night. Very interesting indeed. Says they have been working on development since 2009, which I guess is reassuring? I will wait to hear what others think about it and the price lowers and the 2nd version comes up, ( may be awhile ). Plus I am interested in knowing how much the computer updated are. It almost sounds complicated to operate, lol

Btw they are up for preorder on the janty us site . Please post if u pick one up

Let's see what Busardo says once he gets a hold of it.

8 volt vaping appears to be a selling point for Janty, it's actually something this PV is supposed to be capable of doing intentionally.

Vaping profile margins in the MID series are the widest in the market: the MID ranges from 0 to 8 volts, or from 0 to a whopping 25 watts!

Wouldn't two fully charged batteries give you 8.2 volts?

 

[asha23]

It's all a bit overkill IMHO. It's just for vaping nicotine. Do we really need all that PC stuff??

 

[Cjax]

That thing would be awesome if it worked as a buck/boost circuit instead of just buck. Perfect mod would be the Joye eVic design with the programability of the Janty MiD. Definately entering into a new age in vaping with these two mods coming out. Can't wait to see what we get next year!

 

[lumberjack]

Showing off the software

 

[Butters78]

That is just way too complicated. Why would anyone want to vape at different volts jumping all around?

Don't overlook the pricing fact that you have to pay even more if you want other than basic operation of the mod.

It states in QuickTour that you have to Pay Extra to Unlock the functionality contained in the unit. So it would be: The price of the unit, plus more to unlock the wattage feature, and other features that the unit all ready has Locked Up Inside.

This is a copy and paste of part of that section:

There are many reasons why we went modular with the MiD, but a few of the more important ones are:

We wanted our customers to only pay for what they use, rather than sell the MiD series with a lot of functions that some customers won't be needing. This way, we let the customers themselves decide.
Through the use of modules it is possible to always add new functionality to the MiD series
Through the use of modules it is possible for us to have the community interact with us, and suggest modules they want us to make for them

So basically, modules are there for you to explore – and buy – if you want the functionality they add.

The last time I checked the price this thing (two days ago) It was $110 for pre-order. Now 142.95 marked down from 162.95 as it states today. I got my ProVeri for under $200 a year and a half ago (Dropped it a couple dozen times and it still works perfectly). If this is a really solid unit, and if you get all the functions without paying extra for them. It would be worth close to the same price point as the ProVeri.
