Merged old Janty Stick sticky threads

[Vee]

I very much agree with the OP on this one. I own a 510 (non-Janty) and the stick. I actually enjoy the form factor, feel, and mouthpiece on the stick but the 510 blows the stick away in the draw, vapor, and flavor departments.

The stick draws like a McD's straw and the 510 draws like a coffee stirrer. I prefer the latter but would like something more in the middle.

Flavor on the 510 is double what it is in the stick. As most others have assumed, the stick will most likely be VERY good once there's a 510 adapter for it. It will probably end up replacing my 510 as my main.

The only real flaw in the stick, other than the 801 atty, is the fact that I can't gauge how hot the atty is getting and when I should give it a rest.

I will definitely be buying the 510 adapter as soon as it is available.

I was about to purchase a Janty Stick. I currently have 201, 801, and 112 models and the Janty website says "JANTY™ STICK will work with virtually ANY classic PEN STYLE type atomizer and respective cartridges..." So I figure I would be able to use any of my existing attys with the stick. Is this correct? Is something different about the stick where I would get less vapor from using one of these attys versus using it on its own battery?

Except for a couple of the 112 attys, I can get really good vapor from any of the ones I have. It's easy with the 201 atty but the draw is hard. The 801 might require a little fluffing of the wool to get it just right and a full cart, but I can get it to produce great vapor, too. The 112 takes the most fiddling but I can get most of them to produce decent vapor. I figure it would be even easier to get vapor with a manual model like the stick. Y'all make it sound like I would never be able to get thick vapor using one with a penstyle atty.

You won't. Sorry to burst that bubble. But, we're all betting the adapter will fix it.

I agree that the vapor of the stick isn't anywhere near as dense as the Dura-C. However, I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks that my stick is MORE flavorful than my Dura-C.

Basically, I find that my Dura-C is oftentimes harsh enough that the flavor sometimes kind of gets lost. That's not a problem for me because I find myself craving the harshness of an analog from time to time, and the Dura-C satisfies that craving.

I totally agree with you. I think I even get more flavor off my Kissbox than the Stick. But I do go back to the Dura-C for the heavy hits.

This may be a question for another thread but do you know if the 201 atty is similar in benefits to the 510/Dura-C's? It is different from the 801 and 112 attys, using Vee's terminology, being more like sucking through a coffee stirrer than a McDonald's straw, which I think is a detriment, but the more I use the 801 and 112, the more I like the 201 since it only rarely gets the too hot/metallic taste and I am not constantly having to top up or fluffing and rearranging the wool in the cart to get good vapor as I have to do on the other two. This is perhaps since the screen over the coil in the atty (whatever it is called) in the 201 is short and dome shaped as opposed to raised and elongated (as on the 112) or tall and almost cylindrical as on the 801.

However, while the 801 and 112 attys work on the 201 batteries, the 201 atty will not work on the 801/112 batteries - the air flow is completely cut off - which makes me worried it would not work on the JS.

I regularly use 6 different attys for different flavors. All are close to equal in vapor production. One is from my original Njoy pen (801/4072), two from Janty for my KBC, and the rest are generic 801/4072 from various vendors (the atty supplied with my Stick is awaiting replacement). Some are 2 hole and some are 4 hole. I use all of them on the 4072 batts (only when I'm feeling masochistic), the KBC and the Stick. Every one of them draw MUCH easier on the Stick...and that is NOT a good thing. Too much air makes for less vapor density, more harshness and less flavor. I have to really concentrate on just barely drawing in...tongue near tip of mouthpiece to feel the airflow...to get optimum density, smoothness and flavor with the Stick. No question in my mind...there is something different about the Stick that is responsible for the excessively easy draw.

In every other respect, however, I couldn't be happier with the Stick. Now if I could just find a more reliable supplier for Janty quality Cappuccino!!!

I would really like something that drew easier and could use a 201 atty. The question now is would a 201 atty work on a JS?

After the talk about flavor in this thread, it made me step back and really evaluate the different attys. The 112 is the easiest draw but gets a harsh taste within a few puffs. For the very first time today I went to work with three 112 attys (on 801 batteries). All day I was fiddling with fluffing the carts and topping up to get good vapor and no burned taste but even so it gets metallic in 5 to 10 puffs, granted if I give it a rest sitting upright, battery side down, I can get a few more good puffs 15 minutes later. Overall, it was a real pain in the ..... I don't know why everyone likes 112 attys. I have 8 of them. They seem to burn too hot.

To me, the 801 attys are better than the 112. They seem to burn a little cooler and I get more puffs out of them before they get harsh. They do push the fluff up more into the cart and if that is not dealt with by splitting the wool, adding a bit of fluff to the end of the cart, or making a hole in the wool for the atty screen to go up in, they are harsh even more quickly, but with doing one of these, they last longer with better taste than the 112s before topping up or fluffing.

So I am resigned to the harder draw of the 201 atty but once you are used to it and draw slowly, it always produces a good amount of vapor and throat hit, rarely gets a harsh taste even with excessive puffing, and requires much, much less topping up. I usually top up when it is 12 to 15 drops short instead of 2 to 3 as on the 112 or 801. Problem is it does not work on 801 or 112 batteries and it does not vape my beloved JC juice well unless the atty is very clean. But I can get over that - RY4 with some extra vanilla is a decent substitute for TN cured to me. But, does it work on a JS?

Regarding the light draw on the stick, i wonder if opening the stick and squeezing a little filling material around the atomizer connector would improve the draw and solve the leaking problem. Also i believe you will get more flavor from it, and so you will have the best of 2 worlds: penstyle capacity with dura like performance.

 

[jcgearhart]

I've been using my Dura for 5 days waiting for a replacement 801 atomizer. Now that I received it I have both the Dura and Jantystick next to each other on my desk and keep reaching for the Dura. Better hit and flavor with the Dura for me. I will buy the Dura adapter when it is available.

Please post your feedback for the V2 here.

Things you should know:
- No electric device can be fully sealed, please make sure not to overfill your carts with liquid.

- The atomizer connection screw inside the compartment seems difficult to catch with your atomizer for some, pls push and turn until the LED lights up. When the LED lights up, the connection is solid.

If for any reason the connection gets lost during vaping, turn the atomizer a bit more to re-establish the connection.

 

[riverrat45]

Okay I have been vaping for almost three months now I have a 901 and a VX2 both perform admiraly in their own right, Took the chance and ordered the JS V2 and I feel already that this should have been my initial purchase to begin with, I guess when i started I wanted it to look like a cigarrette, This Janty stick has changed all that! I cant get over how small a device can perform so great, I can tell alot of attention has went to detail, the vapor and flavor is incredible and it is relatively cheap to use this device (batteries $3.20 compared to 11 to 16 dollars for others) USB passthrough capability, and an all out vapor-fest. So as of right now I am more than pleased and have already sent in an order for another. I have shown it to 3 friends and the are also going to order one, I guess this little sucker can almost sale itself after someone witnesses it! Thanks Janty!

 

[Kelemvor]

good morning Ludo,

sorry i am still on V1 but is

- The atomizer connection screw inside the compartment seems difficult to catch with your atomizer for some, pls push and turn until the LED lights up. When the LED lights up, the connection solid.

a new programmed feature to the sticks chip ? on my V1 it doesn't matter if there is an Ato inderted, the blue LED fires up if the battery is good.

please confirm or deny, because that would be a undocumented feature and a tip for telling old and new stick versions apart + would keep me from overscrewing the atomizer connector thread.


greetz.

My only concern with the V2 was tha atomizer, and I got that totally sorted out thanks to ECF.
The V2 works great and is my primary device.
I love it, the charge lasts forever, I can vape and charge at the same time.
I get nice consistent hits full of vapor, and nice Throat hits if I hold till it turns red or shuts off. Even with a 2 second hit, I get clouds of vapor.
It seems to be kind of a juice hog when it comes to direct dripping, but I feel safer doing it with the V2 than my 510.
Some people are saying that the taste sucks, but O have to disagree, I am getting more flavor out of the V2 then the 510 or 901.
So far, I'm in love with the Janty Stick V2. It was a great purchase!
wish I woulda bought a spare atomizer or come with 1 extra.
I never feel safe only having one.

 

[Zestok90]

Also, Ludo. You are very right about the atomizers having time to break in, its like day 3 now, and already Im getting stronger, way better hits.
Very impressed!
The "Double Clutch" works awesome on it as well!

 

[pcmune]

Very pleased with the stick. I have been vaping for 2 months mostly with a 510 and once in a while a 801. After "playing" around with the JS for a few hours, I noticed I was tasting flavors better...I had 10-15 bottles of various flavors that I basically wrote off because I really was not tasting them. I broke a few out and began to really get some flavor.

 

[CArtVapr]

Does anyone know if you can control the throat hit on the JS ? So far the reviews seem to say the vape is huge but throat hit is a bit weaker than with the 510.
Sometimes the 510 just doesn't cut it, other times it's too harsh, mostly depending on the liquid being used. Looking for the best throat hit out there with the best vape, the next step up from 510 ? Guess there's nothing yet.

 

[tmbrown327]

You'll get lots of opinions. TH has a lot of variables. Nicotine content being the most widely cited prime factor. Eventually, you'll find the combination of battery charge, atomizer, juice and flavor that will deliver what you want from the stick.

I actually get a really good throat hit from the JS when I inhale and when I get to the red line, I release the button, still inhaling, then hit the button and keep inhaling for another second or two. I get some pretty nice throat hits then, and awesome vapor.

 

[tmbrown327]

Just an observation and some thoughts about the V2 and the 801 carts. I find that I get very good performance from my atomizer when I top off, and that lasts for a while. Then the performance starts dropping off a bit, you have to pull longer to get the vapor/TH you want. I suspect that the atomizer is now saturated and just at the point where it is hovering on the over-saturation point. I think this affects how the coil works. I think it may be supplying too much liquid to the coil to allow effective vaporization. What I've started to do is, when it gets to this condition, pull out the cart, install just the whistle tip, and vape for a while, working off the juice already in the atomizer mesh. I can get at least 20 good drags in this condition, with good vapor and TH. When that starts to taper off, I replace the cartridge and I'm good to go for quite a while longer, usually until the cart is nearly completely empty. I think this also minimizes buildup on the coil. I'm not sure this would work for every atomizer/juice combination, but it seems to work on mine fairly consistently, and stretches my juice out pretty well.

I'd be curious to see if this works for anyone else.
