So after reading up on the Yentl Kissbox *extensively* I was going to buy them as my new primary device (I have an njoy but if it dies I don't think I would survive on analogue cigs anymore!).
I also want to buy 2 sets for my parents, and well, only the BEST for them I say.
I have some fears though. There are a lot of complaints about faulty parts, even in V4, and replacement atomizers from Janty are crazy expensive...

I guess I have 2 questions. If you lived in North America and wanted to buy the Rolls Royce of e-cigs (mini style, I'm vain in public) would it be the Yentl?
2nd, what happens if my atomizer in the Yentl dies? Do I pay for shipping plus 25$ for a replacement? That would get expensive quick! I really wish some majory manufacturer (like a Sony, or even someone like Phillip Morris) would dump a billion $ on developing these babies into finely tuned machines... or at least give you a free atomizer with every 2 or 3 bottles of liquid or boxes of carts. I know they are afraid we will use the extra atomizers to create new "cigs" with the extra batteries so just increase the price of the batteries instead since they last longer.

I'm babbling so I will stop. Anyway, thanks to anyone who replies. This forum is a GREAT resource. Best product/topic based forum I have ever seen.

They are warranteed, JimBob, so whenever (not if) a part breaks they will send you a new one, at no expense, and they also always include a few bonuses, like extra cartridges, for your trouble. Their service is fast, but it's still a good idea to pick up an extra atomizer and maybe extra battery or two, so you have a backup while waiting.

Thanks for the info Leaford.

Would you say as far as mini cigs go the Yentl is the way to go?
What about for pen style? I wouldn't mind to have a descent one for around the house that produces more smoke and lasts longer.
I know everyone's tastes are different so there is no real answer, but I'm new and don't want to spend too much money finding out the hard way that some product kinda blows :)

For super-minis, yes, Kissbox Yentyl is definitely the way to go. It's the only one I think puts out enough smoke volume, performs reliably and consistently, with a minimum of priming.

For the penstyle, the KISSbox Classic is a very good bet.

It's not the best vapor producer I've tried, Sedansa takes the top spot (I give it a 5 out of 5), followed by a generic RN4072 (like e-SmokeyTreats or Puresmokers) and Njoy with 4.5. Janty would come in around 4.

BUt both the 4072 and the Njoy have harder draws than the Janty, and tend to be less reliable in my experience, giving me a dud drag every so often. And the 4072 always leaks a tiny bit, beading up around the battery connector (and I've had somewhere around a dozen 4072 atomizers from 3 sellers). Not a big deal, but annoying.

Plus, the Janty Classic has advantages no one else has, like the USB cable option which is useful at work or around the house, and the manual switch, which I pretty much always use.

The question I asked earlier about whether it was ok to connect directly to the power supply is answered by Ludo on this thread - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-cigarette-suppliers-forum/590-ruyanxpress-janty.html

"You can smoke the JANTY™ K.I.S.S. Classic cigarette using the additional USB cable via your computer. You can also smoke directly from the electricity network with a special adaptor, giving you full power, full satisfaction."

I've decided not to do this anyway, I'm just posting this information in case anyone else is wondering about it. I don't mind charging the USB batteries in a mains charger and swapping them over when discharged, I don't need to use a battery charger connected to my ecig.

I'm not sure I understand, Kate. What advantage is there in using the USB if it's not plugged into the USB?

It would be plugged into a USB Adapter outlet allowing the user to smoke anywhere there is a power outlet as long as they had the adapter.

Behold, I give you, the Outlet USB Adapter and the Car USB Adapter.

That's right, it's like using a battery on a wire.

I know it sounds a bit strange to think that's as good as the ordinary batteries but here's why I was thinking about it. I have a Ruyan ecigar and it uses the same batteries as the USB cord. I ordered some very cheap spare batteries from Dealextreme for it so have some of those batteries lying about. I also ordered a reliable charger from Dealextreme which charges two of these ecigar batteries at a time. On my desk I only need to have the ecigar charger plugged in and lying around instead of an ecigar charger and the Janty charger. Space is at a premium here so ...

Also I haven't checked yet but I think that the ecigar batteries last longer on a charge, they are a bit bigger than the Janty batteries. They are cheap to replace so when my guarantee runs out with Janty I won't need to worry about replacing expensive batteries.

The down side is the trailing wire which is about a metre long but that doesn't really bother me.

There is some sort of logic there, somewhere, lol.

Hi Gnu, it is a bit like being on life support, lol.

With current battery technology and prices I'm just trying to get the biggest bang for my buck. In time replacing cheap ecigar batteries should pay off over more expensive ones. The initial investment for the USB cord should pay off in time.

One thing I'm experiencing is that the USB power isn't making my atomiser work as efficiently as the Janty battery. This may be my imagination, I'm not sure.

Thanks again for taking the time Leaford (and Kate).
I've decided since I already have a Mini with the Njoy pro to go for the Kissbox Extended Classics.
Gonna make it a gift set and grab 2 for my parents while I'm at it with some extra atomizers. Time to blow about a grand :)
... that oughta tell you right there just how addictive nicotine really is =D

regarding the RBL flavoured liquid...
some people are saying that it tastes a little bit like bazooka/bubblicious bubble gum to them...which sounds quite interesting really...
you might actually find that you like it after all Leaford.;)


I just got around to trying the RBL, and yup, Bubbleliscous! :D

I just found my new favorite flavor! :wub::wub::hubba::hubba::pervy:
