The 14500 is not a 900 mAH cell, even though it states so. We have been looking into this option for other things, and its effective mAh is only a bit better than that of the Jantysticks own battery.
For this one, we are doing it this way because of many reasons - mainly because we this way have absolute control of how good the quality of the battery inside is, since we are building it ourselves.
The 14500 battery is also way too long for us to embed it inside the Baby J - you have to remember that USB technology, onboard electronics, etc everything takes up space. Trust me when i say we have been over this design a million times, and it looks like it does now, because this is the best all around way to do it - in both our eyes, and from a consumer-quality standpoint.
Also, this is not a mod, this is a product. You dont have access to the batteries in your cellphone, iphone, ipod, etc - this is the way industry standards are doing things, and the reason for doing this is many: One of which is absolute control of what _we_ put inside - and what _we_ want it to deliver.
So i advice you all to go check your 14500 batteries again.. they dont deliver 900 mAh.. trust me - and the lifespan of them is shorter than that of a high quality battery.
Dont believe all the things you read on advertisements
Besides we are coming out with a Jantystick multivolt next year - and maybe a new upgraded version of the JS soon too. We have all our bases covered; but all our products can do the exact same thing. This one for instance isnt ment as a replacement for the Jantystick - it might become one ( for me it is already ) - but its ment more as a luxurious vaping device that you love and are not afraid to show off in public - something delicate and nice.
The Jantystick is a workhorse, - its more the working-mans e-cigarette: It hides well, it vapes well, it lasts reasonably long, etc.
But, lets keep this thread on track shall we
I dont mind your inputs at all - really - but at the same time, we are not going to change anything major about this design now, it is the way i showed it in the video, and this is how we will launch it. Only minor changes will apply unless something unforeseen happens.
On the other hand, i am still here and i am still listening, and i do always consider your inputs on everything for every design i make! Sometimes i can implement these things, -other times i cant. Cant please em all
But atleast im happy you like the design - personally i love the fact that it looks better in real life than on its rendering i did in 3D : That was my biggest concern. If we were able to transfer this design into reality and keeping its fine lines - but that definately did work.
And just wait till you hold one of them, they feel _so_ nice. Real quality feel to it!
I just took my Baby J out for a walk and puffed on it, and sure enough it took 5 minutes before someone stopped me - just to ask about it, and their comment was simple: where do i get one.
Another guy actually offered me to buy the model i had right there, for the equivalent of 300 USD, he was into E-cigarettes already and after i explained him this was the prototype he went ballistic and started offering me cash for it
So right now, im happy as can be - i cant wait till some of you guys get them and hopefully share my appreciation for it!
