Long term Mini Fogger test

[sherid]

Nothing works now. Not a single atomizer or battery. Both batteries light uop the LEDs, but that is all.

I already filed a warranty claim online. Will tell you how it ended. Probably next year, though, because it happened at the most unfortunate time.

Nothing works on mine either. I am sad too because I loved this one.

The atomiser that was getting hot is working fine today, gonna still send it back

I must have gotten a gem, Because mines great.
Are you draining your Atomizer every night?

Well so far I'm pushing the fogger to the limit, giving it a good belting. It's as good as new using the first atomizer after 4 days

 

[Bellinghamster]

I do have a question however. I see some really great feedback about the m401 around here, and the replacement parts seem a bit cheaper than the mini fogger's. How do these two devices compare in regards to performance and reliability?

Yes, you read that right, I quoted myself...

I just placed my order for an M401 so I can give a good review VS the Janty Mini Fogger... Now that I'm broke, can somebody please order the Dura for review so that I can have something to covet?!?

I wasn't going to post this but I am going to. I got my Mini Fogger 6 days ago. Today 3 things have occured.

1. One battery stopped functioning.
2. Later in the same day the first atomizer stopped working completely.
3. The 2nd atomizer works but puts out very minimal vapor and is worthless.

I have sent an email to Janty RE the first fault, but I gotta say I am over failing ecigs. The Fogger was GREAT while it was working, but now it's turned into waste. Ludo, sorry mate, you have treated me well with many replacements, but in the end this is just too much of an inconvienience for me. The Kissbox is still working at the moment, tastes a bit crappy but it will have to do until someone out there can recommend me an ecig that just works!

I have not even USED the second atomizer! And it is dead... Either that, or both batteries.

 

[lucisac]

So it seems many are having issues? I must of picked the good atomizer first go, it was going really good, and now I have nothing...again! Chances are the Dura will be the same as it's all made cheaply in China nowadays.

I thought KB is jusgt about the best money can buy. What do you mean by the taste? Please tell more before I throw good money after the bad.

 

[lucisac]

I don't know, after some use it just tastes crappy. I think its in comparison with the minis. The fogger tastes good due to plastic house around the atomizer (the cart), where the kissbox pen has the metal casing, which over time, the liquid inherits the metallic taste from the casing.

Got my Mini Fogger charged up yesterday, and used it while running around town shopping. I have to say I really like the shorter drags and the amount of vapor produced, it really much more approximates the old analogs. I compared it to my first super-mini (the one that is so disliked on the dispreferences poll) and the mini fogger is vastly superior in every regard.

I do have a question however. I see some really great feedback about the m401 around here, and the replacement parts seem a bit cheaper than the mini fogger's. How do these two devices compare in regards to performance and reliability?

take a look at my video review of the intellicig evolution or the mirage. both are versions of the m401 and both perform very well. the evolution even has a 8 - 12 hour battery life! you can find them in the video review section.

not got a mini fogger to compare to but i will probably make a purchase in the future!

I'm loathe to recommend the dse901 because, if you know anything about e-smoking, you probably already have it. But, on the slim chance you don't own one, get one. I've had it for about a week and a half of use, and it's still working great...I've even done some very bad things to the atomizer, and it still runs well.

 

[Frankie]

I had to return to my 901s when both Foggers died within minutes of each other

901 has definitely easier topping on its side, but
Fogger is much better in vapour production/battery charging time/overall feel from vaping. If they in Janty repair or replace those dead two, I will continue using them as my primary device. I still love them. They are still stunningly beautiful. Unfortunately, dead...

I hope the adddress in their logo is for warranty claims, too.

Got mine today for Christmas. After about 2 hours, it quit working. The batteries light up on the draw in, but no vapor...I think it must be the atomizer. VERY disappointing on Xmas day. I'll send it back and try another.....I hope this one works. But judging from all the failures I'm seeing on this post, I'm a little hesitant.

 

[Bellinghamster]

I've had my mini fogger for a little over a week and have been using it fairly regularly. It shipped with one defective battery [LED did not light up] but Janty was very quick to respond and they are shipping a new battery ASAP. At work I'm still mostly using the DSE901 since I run through much more liquid there, but the mini fogger is my primary device for in the the car and at home. I've had no atomizer trouble, but I've only been using the factory carts [no refilling/topping - yet].

I'm preparing a proper review, but I can definitely concur with the statements in this thread regarding the absolutely superior vapor production. I *really* enjoy vaping this device and will cry when it breaks

 

[lucisac]

Yes I was VERY PLEASED WHILE IT WAS WORKING with the performance, taste etc. But in less than a week, both atomizers are no good (1 DOA), and only 1 battery is functoning so I can see

I've asked Jeff at Janty straight out if the "Dura" is really "reliable" as it states on the site, because I just want durability and something that lasts at least a couple of months.

 

[lucisac]

After trying to revive the 2nd atomizer that wouldn't product much vapor at all, the 2nd battery has died. Once again it's the switch mechanism that has failed as the battery activates only when sucked on hard direct from the battery, but fails to activate with the atomizer connected.

Now nothing works

 

[lordmage]

i have to say my mini fogger from janty has been more then i hoped. one is it arrived quickly. two is with swapping atomisering and blowing in i get about 5 days of heaveying vaping in 2 day rest for cleaning and dring at this point thats ok my kiss box can defently take up the slack. as far as topping off or dripping with my mini i can say topping my be better for the device i use a little plug and remove the end piece and a little drop at a time let it filter down the cart works wonders. it does run hot from time to time and a cart last me for a 12 hour period before the swap but other then that i cant complain a slow drag and good hit

 

[lucisac]

I've spoken to Jeff from Janty and he is looking after me. I gotta say despite ecigs being a pain in the ..., from all the suppliers I have dealt with Janty are so giving, and that gives me hope to march on.

I hope more research is done this year to bring these devices to a whole new level of consistency. I say consistency and not reliability because I know you can buy 10 sets of the same product and some will last months while others can lasts days. I think the key factor here is QA (quality control).

 

[Bellinghamster]

I completely agree regarding reliability VS consistency. It's not the 4 atomizers that die in a week... If that were always the case, we'd reject the concept and find a better device or stick with analogs. It's the one that lasts 4 months that makes us crazy... We KNOW it can be soooo good...
