Janty USB battery

[Marvelbeast]

This might be a silly question but the battery in the USB charger/device that comes with the Kissbox classic, is it removable for a purpose?

I mean, am I supposed to remove the battery and use it anywhere or is it there to hold a charge from the computer and stays in the USB cable all the time?

Cheers for any info,

Nick

Hi Marvelbeast

The battery from what I understand is removable so it can be replaced. They won't last forever.

It also holds the charge from the computer if you walk around with it.
If you remove it, you won't get any power.

The battery will power the KB without being plugged in to the USB, so it will wear and need replacing in time.

It says in the lead all the time, gives some protection to the USB in your computer, not that it really needs it.

Cheers, thats what I thought when I saw it because the circuit doesn't look like it'd be complete without a battery in it.

I misread what the USB charger did before I ordered it. I thought that it was a way of vaping while your battery charged in the device. It's still a bloody good extra though. I spend all day at work in front of a computer and half the night at home too, so it's a pretty nifty device for me and will save me a fortune in "mobile" batteries.

I'm very impressed with my new present (to myself ) Everything about it is fantastic.

I still like my super cigarette and will be more then happy with it as a back up or for using in places where I'd be more conscious of using a e-... that looks nothing like a ....

I'm a very happy chappie today!

Hi Nick, I'm glad you've got your Kissbox and you're happy with it.

The battery in the USB cord is very cheap to replace. When the three month warranty on your dedicated batteries runs out you won't have to worry about replacing them as quickly.

I don't bother plugging my USB cord in, I just recharge the battery and swap it over when needed. That way I'm not tied to a computer but the wire can sometimes get in the way.

You can get replacement batteries here - DealExtreme: $4.32 Ultra Fire 10440 3.6V 500mAh 2Pack

This is the charger I use - DealExtreme: $12.58 Ultra Fire 10440 14500 Ac Charger

Happy birthday.

Kate, you're an absolute lifesaver, as always. Had been searching for a place to find the right kind of batteries, and a charger. Thank you!

I'm thinking about getting a Janty Extended Classic Kissbox and i just saw this thread.
@ Pete. Is the usb connection like the one you sold me for my generic penstyle ?
@ Pete and Kate
Also is this a Classic Penstyle which has 2 different types batteries and can i use standard penstyle Carts with it as i don't like the idea of relying on my buying outside the uk. Jason and Simon are 100%.
And overall are the Atomisers better or worse or the same as a Classic 2 hole Penstyle? I really like the look of them but i've now got so many different e-cigs that the next one has got to be much better and i need recomendations.
btw Pete. I have not had to change my atomiser at all since i've been using that usb connector.

I've tried the Kissbox with RN4072 cartridges and they don't fit but it's possible to swap the filler over to ones that do.

My Kissbox atomisers are great. I use them heavily for dripping and they last a couple of months. They are efficient and burn quite hot compared with other atomisers I've tried. The main drawback is that some of us have found them to be no good with cartridges and have to drip smoke with them.

Yes and no! The Janty has a battery in the lead so you can plug it into the computer or just unplug it and it will keep on vaping, so it's better than the USB adaptor and battery box I sold you, well more compact anyway. The Janty USB battery will outperform a penstyle battery but it won't come remotely close to a 2700mAh NiMH battery box that you have. I think the Janty battery is about 330mAh.
The big advantage of the Janty is the manual switch. Big problem for me anyway is the atomiser is superb dripping, but I could just not get the thing to work with carts. I've tried 2 now, the first I got with the KB then I tried another recently with a generic battery, same problem. Harry@ Janty is sending me a replacement but so far it hasn't arrived.

Thanks very much for both your answers Kate and Pete.
I've got a clearer picture now of what i'm looking at.
I must admit i do like and am very happy with my RN4072 Pens especially now ive got USB mains, PC and Battery Box. No more power problems so it's just the Atomisers i have to worry about now.
I think i'll wait and see which way the wind blows in the next few months before i decide to try something different. I think i'm becoming obsessed.
Thanks again

I think that's a good idea Dee, wait and see what comes out. Janty is working on new devices so that's something to watch out for.

Yes Kate that's what i'll do. I was just thinking today about the cost of Atomisers and i can get them from Simon or Jason at the moment for about £6 or £7 approx. Then i looked at the price of My Brand of Cigarettes in the shop where i usually bought them and a 20 Pack is now £5.70. I was smoking at least 30 a day minimum = £8.55 A DAY. 8-o

I think i'll just buy a new atomiser once a week.
I'm also Vaping less now. 1 18mg Cart with a wee top up is now lasting me a day.
