Merged old Janty eGo sticky threads

[chuaa]

Did I get a bad charger? I got my ego friday and charged the batteries and battery 1 lasted 4 1/2 hours battery 2 lasted 5 hours. They have been charged 5 times now and still at 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 hours. It takes 2 hours and 15 to 20 minutes to charge the batteries. I vape 6 or 7 510 carts a day and they hold 12 to 13 drops. I am a heavy vaper but expected a little more time out of the batteries.

I do get a drop off before the light flashes, but its only a few drags before. The light flashes forever, I'm pretty sure I counted 731 blinks it seems like it would be tough to miss.

Unrelated, but curious, I preordered, and got upgraded shipping, but no box or incense, what did other eGoers get? Not a concern at all which is why I didn't bug customer svc, like I said, just curious.

As far as vapor drop off I think it drops off 2 hours after useing and like 1/2 vapor for the next 2 1/2 hours. The light on the battery flashes 5 times on mine
I did not get anything as a gift. It came with the pouch thats all. I did not expect any gifts. I think they gave them when people ordered them b4 they got them.

That doesn't sound normal to me. I vape all day long, heavily, and my battery lasts all day long.

It's been my experience that "light vaporer" vs "vape heavily" is kinda nebulous. Tell me how many ml of liquid you go through a day... then we're getting somewhere.

Example.. people talk about 280mAh Mega batteries lasting 4+ hours. If I get 1.5 hours out of them I'm pretty happy. When I get my eGo/Tornado.. I'll be happy if I get 3+ hours.

wheres my Janty cards? i didn't get any, i would love to hand them out to about 10 people i know

Me too!!!!!!
I LOVE the eGo, by the way. Wish I had gotten it as my starter pv, could have saved a bunch of money!

 

[paso]

Well Scottbee I do not know the amout of liquid I use in a day-- like I said I use 6 or 7 510 carts a day and they hold about 12 or 13 drops. I am still happy with the ego I just thought it would last longer and most others said there's charges in just over and hour and mine is takeing over 2 hours

I go through about 30ml of fluid every week, maybe a little less.

 

[Scottbee]

That would put you at about 4+ ml a day. I'm in the same range. Soooo.... I'm expecting maybe 4-5 hours from the eGo/Tornado if the batteries really come in at 650mAh.

 

[paso]

Thanks for the info.

I get around 18 hours a battery. I don't see why you won't get the same amount of time if you vape the same amount if liquid. Whatever Janty did, the mah numbers don't seem to match up with the actual performance. For a heavy vaper, this thing is just perfect. My 510 parts and accessories will be given away, or thrown in the trash. After the eGo, I need nothing else.

The math just doesn't work. And I trust the math.

 

[Giantfan]

Who knows. Maybe it's your vaping style. Are you holding the button down for 10 seconds a drag or something?

 

[paso]

I may have found the problem. I read the usb problem thread and found out the usb cable needs to be seated all the way down. When I got my ego I pluged in the usb til it stoped and the lights came on so I thought all was good. It took a lot of pressure to push it all the way in. I hope that works.

Janty usa got back to me and said they are sending replacement parts. They say it should not take over 2 hours to charge. Thank you Janty USA. I have a battery charging rite now and its been almost 2 hours and 45 minutes.

...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?...

Well obviously the problem is... I can't buy it today!

Seriously, this describes the perfect vaping device to me.

• 5 volts
• Replacable batteries (don't care if they're proprietry to Janty)
• USB for vaping while recharging

High mAH is just a bonus at that point!

just a question for Mik....would it be ok to chagre the ego batt even if it hasnt fully drained out? as in, can i top up the charge after usign the ego batt for a couple of hours...just so, i dont suddenly run out of power while i'm out on the road...

would that be fine..or would there be any "memory" effect on it...

thanks
