certainly the 'feeling' of having a PV device always working at top power, as in the JS is most wanted. Only reason i didn't get the stick was the looks, as a matter of preference, and the poorly made plastic case.
Now if only this device will indeed have a USB PT/charging capability and to hell with big size batteries. Put a smaller one and fit a USB on it already, who cares about burst duration, nowadays USB port are everywhere...

First of, im not sure if you are talking about the Baby J or the eGo ( since you posted directly underneath my answer to someone on the eGo, in the Baby J thread.. yes its confusing =)
However, - for the eGo:
It depends. I have been vaping on mine since 11.37 before midday today, and its now 22:38 - and its not done. Thats OVER 10 hours. And im not a light vaper by any means. In this case, for the eGo - its just not that necessary to have a built in USB port. I mean it comes with an extra battery - and that charges in 1-2 hours. Leave one in charger, and thats it - you will only need one battery a day - and if it comes to worse, you will have to grab both, but you wont ever be caught without charges.
For the Baby J:
We are thinking hard about what to do - on one hand it would be nice for it to use standard batteries, seeing as people use those - on the other hand, depending on how much mAH we can pack in there it would be nice to use a USB port - simply because the Baby J is that much larger, and can easily fit a USB port into it.
However, in the case of the Baby J, the USB port might make more sense also, if we choose to make it a proprietary high voltage battery inside - would be the easiest no-fuzz solution for charging it.
Anyways, its still too early to say - we need to leave Xmas and New Years behind to properly investigate this!
Hope this helped a bit!

Hey guys,
Just curious - it is so different how much we all vape - i would consider myself a heavy vaper - and so far i put in a freshly charged battery on the final production model of my eGo at 11.37 today - and its now 22.48 and.. im still vaping.
As a bonus note i can add, that in that time i have re-filled my tesla filter 4 times all in all - not too shabby huh? =)
What about you guys ? How long has the battery lasted for you - and what kind of vaper are you?
Edit: heeey.. i wonder how long my eGo XL thats lying next to me will last..hmm... ill try that tomorrow =D

A little help here, Mik? About how much liquid (in mls) fills the tesla filter?
Whenever anybody talks about length of time that a battery lasts, it's pretty meaningless unless it's accompanied by how much liquid they use. I'm presuming that the tesla filter nearly empties a (normal) 510 cart? So, 16-20 drops, 4 times? Is that close? I *think* that's almost 4 mls... if so, it's very impressive battery life.
Mind if I live vicariously through you until I get mine? =)
(thank you, by the way for straightening things out for me. Got an email from Ethan) <g>
Its a prototype of an eGo, thats 1cm longer, and packing more mAH
I'm on hour 4 with my first battery. So far so good. It was well worth the wait.
Mik, did you take the battery off the charger when the light turned green, or did you charge it longer for it's initial charge?

Hey
The tesla filter takes about 12-14 drops in its current state - so yeah
And regarding the battery life, - this eGo hasnt left my hand all day - except for once when we went out for an hour or so hardly smoked there. The rest of the time ive been puffing away when i felt like it ( and thats often )
=)
Your first battery only lasted 4 hours..? wow. You must be able to suck a golfball through a hose my friend
heheI only charged mine till it hit green light - then took it off, no overcharging ( which isnt possible i believe )

what is the maH on that Xl

Nooooooooooooooo, I'm on hour 4 so far! It's still going strong = ) it got here early this morning.
if you really have to build the BabyJ with an usb port, please make 2 version or usb/ 14500 usage an option.
*seems i have to go on an secret brainwashmission to Janty headquarters
half of the feedback after my german eGo review was about the proprietary battery and how much more interesting the device would be with exchangeables.
*offtopic*
the 1st 2 battery runs lasted 7h heavy vaping, each.

Hey
First off, 7 hours is definately not bad
And i think you are an even heavier user than i am As for the Baby J - we will see. It could be that we make both options - i dont know yet. But rest assured i will take all things into consideration and not "just" choose something on the fly.
=)
Hey! =) sorry i missed you first time around! I didnt see your post!
As for your questions, i think its best if you go read the two individual threads on the ego and the baby j fully - in it your questions are answered, and it might help you see why we do what we do - and what we might do in the future as well!
Should you have any questions after reading either, feel free to post a question in the thread of the product you have a question about =D
I still think this will change - people who say that they want to be able to use standard batteries, usually say so because they have them, in stock - and have spent cash on them. The reality - i think - is that once you get something like the eGo in your hand and begin to use it, you will realise that if it lasts long enough ( as this does ) on one charge, then standard vs proprietary becomes a non-issue.
And then theres the design side of it - if you have to use standard batteries, you can NOT make something like the eGo. It will be fatter, and more bulky - no matter how hard you try.
For something like the Baby J, yes - it can be done without altering the looks. But by having a proprietary battery in there, you will get much more mAH per mm.
Another thing is the whole "What you get for your moneys worth" issue. I mean - the eGo is built to charge a minimum of 200 times before a battery begins to die/gets worse. If we say an average user will get 10 hours out of a battery before it has to charge, that means that one average user will get 400 days out of the eGo before he has to invest in another.
Now - if you consider the price of the eGo vs being able to use it for more than a year (hopefully) reliably, then i think its a good deal.
I dont have a "problem" so to speak with standard batteries, but they have to serve a purpose. The Jantystick for instance - great device, and partly because it uses cheap batteries that can be replaced. However - those batteries are also known to die randomly - and some are better than others. If you imagine we build a V4 or V5 of the JS, and we put a proprietary battery in there with 1000 mAH, which will last you for over 10 hours - and you are able to take that battery out and swap with another of "our" batteries AND you at the same time have the option of USB charging it inside, then again - wheres the problem?
Now, im not trying to start a discussion, i just think alot of people are missing the big picture. E-cigarettes are developing - and we cant develop by using standard batteries. Thats like saying Nokia should make their newest cellphone run on a 9v - or 4x 1.5 volt batteries. Imagine how that would look
So - everything has to serve a purpose, - and in the case of the eGo, that purpose is longevity and design. In the case of the Baby J, it will most likely be the same factors - but, as i mentioned earlier, I am not exluding the idea of having a model with standard batteries: it seems it will be easy to make that kind of model - personally, i think will prefer having it much like the eGo, just with the USB option at the end.
why can't a USA company sell this??? It looks awesome.- Status
