Nice review... what about dripping?

Dripping is fine. Nice solid performance. The chamber that the Atomizer slides into is completely sealed (at least on the manual version) so you don't need to worry about accidentally getting juice into an are it shouldn't be.

don't worry Sir_Puffalot
i think that "processing" means nothing :-|
i ordered last month from jantyshop
of course i received my order last month. but my account from jantyshop web site is
still "processing"...

Just an update on my situation. Jantyshop was experiencing problems with their site, emails have been sent and received. All is good :thumb:

I, too, received a test unit and its performance is as outstanding as Franklyspeaking says.

First, I do use about a three-second inhalation, and the JantyStick produces far more than sufficient vapor during that time. I don't like throat hit, but it's there.

The shocking part for me is the size. This is not much bigger than my pipe lighter and fits nicely in the palm of one hand. It is extremely easy to conceal in public use. And it carries easily in a shirt pocket, being very light.

It's easy to trigger, with the button on the base of the unit. A standard thumb-finger hold of the device puts the thumb intuitively on the button. Press, hold and inhale.

I have a number of quality units to compare the JantyStick to, so here we go:

My long-time personal favorite is the Janty Kissbox. The JantyStick uses many of the same components. It can be thought of as a Kissbox folded in half, the way a carpenter's wooden ruler folds up. Vapor production is equal to the manual-switch Kissbox, which is to say outstanding. I vape Cappuccino and RY4 exclusively.

The JantyStick USB cord allows me to charge and use the unit while working at the computer. Replacing the battery is the only problem, but that will rarely need to be done. The screw that provides access to the battery bay will require a screwdriver to loosen and tighten. A separate charger is provided with the device.

This is better than Trog's Screwdriver, in that it too is manual, makes a ton of vapor, but the JantyStick has a far better switch arrangement. The button is on the end of the Screwdriver, so pressing it forces the hard mouthpiece into the front teeth. Not good. I find the Screwdriver awkward to hold and use. The JantyStick corrects all the Screwdriver problems and has a bigger atomizer and cart, to boot.

The JantyStick is far better than my Dura-C, since the JantyStick has the bigger atomizer and cartridge. More vapor, easier. Better by far than the Mini Fogger.

My GreenCig G300 has about a three-second cutoff with its automatic switch and produces only moderate vapor during that time. I like it a great deal for social occasions, since it's very "cigarette like." But the JantyStick is far better. The JantyStick also proved better than a 901 or any of the myriad "mini" cigs I have lying around.

Bottom line: Great evolutionary device that no one can really call an "e-cig". It's not. It's very similar to what knutselpeter invented with his first Kissbox unit. It's true to function, with an attractive form. I think I will have no public problem explaining this as an inhaler to keep me off cigarettes!

This and my Kissbox are now my "go to" units. I like 'em both equally. They are tops, IMO. With the JantyStick, the e-future is now.

Hmmm, makes me feel like buying it because it doesn't look like a cigarette, can be hidden in the palm and looks more like a small cellphone which people are more accustomed to looking at. Great to use in those "no smoking" areas.
You could use a necklace type of cord to hang it over your neck, too.
I wish they could ship these overseas as an exception.

That's precisely the reason why I just put in my pre-order. I want to vape in peace and if someone asks me what it is, I'll tell them it's for my asthma :)

Maskgeek, how's the e-cig popularity in the Philippines? Are there any restrictions on the devices/fluids there? I've got a bunch of relatives that are literallly dying from smoking. PM me if you can.

bugeater, that's exactly what my answer to them will be, for asthma.
e-cigs are yet unknown over here. No one sells them yet. It could be good business but as you know cigarettes are soooo cheap here at US$.50/pack.
I love your avatar, seems like you had a great time here.

Trog's Screwdriver uses a 901 atomizer and the JantyStick equals or beats it on vapor production. So why a 901 atomizer? No advantage that I can see. The penstyle has got to the granddaddy of e-cigs (it was my first e-cig just about 13 months ago). It's proven, big time.

For me the 901 atty vapor is warmer than the 801 atty and for me the 901 atty taste better than the 801 atty. for me the vapor is very good on the 901. I understand that taste throat hit and what is a good amount of vapor is different from one person to the next but that's just me.

TB, are you in a position to comment on the battery life you are getting yet?

Andy

I know you asked TB but I figured I'd chime in. Let me qualify the use first. If vaped for 30 to 40 drags twice an hour I get about 5 hours. If constantly vaped I get three to four hours. If I plug it into my laptop at least two times during the day for 30 to 45 minutes each setting I can vape on it all day and night and not change the battery.
