The Janty Stick comes with the Classic Kissbox style atomizers, but they will also work with DSE801, BE112, and various other penstyle atomizers.

And 201 with which I have a very good success. I prefer the tighter draw of 201 vs 801. But couple people posted that they can't get 201 to work on JS.

Really do love my stick but a two foot fall made it fall apart. Goes right back together and works just fine though. I just wish it was a bit more solid. I am one of those people that tends to set thing in my lap and forget about them. Stand up and on the floor they go. I am always worried I am gonna break this thing. I am not trying to discourage anyone from getting a Stick hell I use mine all the time. The small size and the case make this great for an on the go or at work vape. I just wish it were a bit more solid.

Perhaps you should look into one of the metal devices. Of course they cost twice as much.

I already have a 2 screwdriver 901's and an original Zimoshi 801L, I find I prefer the 801 but the zimoshi is a bit much to carry around in the pocket of surgical scrubs heh. Like I said I love the stick though. Its half the price and you get a good vape.

801's are juice hogs. I found if you use the JS, you're going to run the atty dry unless you top off fairly often or rest the stick with the mouthpiece upward, so the juice will flow down towards the atty. I'm guessing this is pretty normal with 801's unless you have a silver bullet on carts.

Personally, I gave up on carts, I am much happier now that I drip. 801's are drip friendly, and the Janty atty's are low/wide bridge so that makes it even better.

ugg. i wish it was just runny dry that would be a simple fix
seems she hits good 3-4 times then i get not burnt but something is getting warmed up a lil too much / melting . then my next hit is back to normal . its odd if spent about 4-5 hours switching parts carts juice attys around and not really any closer to resolving the issue .

update ( i figure someone somewhere will have the same issues and the junk i have done might help others skip to the answer ( if ever found ) so i throw what i do up on the board )

i found that the carts ( white portion ) has mushroomed out from the heat and are now touching the sides of the atty. this might create the issue im having , i have trimmed off the mushroomed edges and i believe the issue has gone away, unless i puff, puff, puff , puff , puff ,puff ,puff , puff .......bad taste remove atty and damn that lil guys HOT....

so it seems
that straw mod will allow me to take more puffs per min. without issue,
the cart melted expanded and needed to be trimmed to fit ( or replaced )

I had the same problem. seems like it would vape good for 1 or 2 draws then the burnt taste. not much vape. I use a different cig now and my switches kept failing on the stick. Nice when it worked well. seems like i would get too much air with the hit and not enough vapor.


switch failure ? v1 or v2 stick? ive replaced it once due to flooded usb, battery switch charge board ect ect.

Straw mod in the 801 carts works quite well, then there's the art of not overfilling, as too much liquid will go through the straw and flood the atty!! lol

I made a post on another forum about cart building for the 801, I'll post it up here and link it with an edit here shortly. If you're into doing carts, these work great, but I had to steer away from them due to my vaping habit (i.e. chain vaping on occassion) :oops:

I'm not sure how long you were using that particular filler, but if it was polyfill, it does have a tendency to wear out after a bit and you really should change it or at least wash/trim it every other day for best performance.

Here's the link for the cart building technique I use, when I just gotta use carts -

I started off with the same (non)issue of not having the atty screwed in tight enough. I had to use a pair of pliers to get it in properly. I can see how for some people it would be very frustrating. Perhaps Janty needs to work a little on the tolerance specs for the atty threads and the whole tube it slides into.

One thing I love is the LED. However I do wish it was a little bigger/brighter so it’s somehow more visible to the user. I find it a little hard to see while in the car in bright daylight.

The draw for me is really hard. Perhaps I got the new attys that are supposed to be harder draw??. Might have to mod one

Best thing about it is the consistency I get out of it. Each drag is the same as the last (provided I myself am consistent with "how" I draw). When I begin to lose flavor I just top off the carts and all is good again.

FYI. I was using a 901 with USB pass through before. The JS to me is a much better device. This is what I should have started with. I think for what you get for the price it’s actually a better value than the other choices. I was going to get a 510 since that what everyone seems to love but I’m glad I got the JS instead.
One question, I cant seem to find much info on using the Pyramid Tea Bags with the 801 atty? Anyone use them and if so is it any different from using the PTB in the 901 atty? I am going to try some tonight myself but was looking for tips.

There is no difference for using PTB with any cartridges, just make sure to trim it flash with the top and do not make it recessed.

Hey man
I have a few of these device. One is simply not enough.
I have a small pair of plyers to unscrew atty's.
I do not suggest you use carts.
Drip 3~5 drops at a time.

You also need a screwdriver with you for battery replacement.
Small coins do not work good because they hit the atty. (if you exchanging the battery and atty is screwed in)

Make sure you blow out your atty at least once a day if you are a heavy vaper. Liquid seems to get caught in the atty quite easily.

Have plenty of charged batteries.
Blackberry charger seems to get batteries charged faster than normal USB cable.

Janty stick is the perfect tool to vape discreetly, if you take one puff without primer puff, it should give you a nice throat hit without too much vapor. (i use it on planes)

I find the batteries lose their punch fairly soon, but others on the site tell me that their batteries deliver a good punch for hours.
So you need to decide this yourself.

If you're gonna use a few janty's i would get a USB squid.
It's one USB male going to 4 USB females.
I can charge my 4 janty's together off one USB port, or in the car.

I find the stick works better while plugged into a USB, rather than battery, but others on the site say it's the same.

Other advice :
Don't try any 6 volt systems..because the janty will suddenly lose it's appeal. (like you and the 510).:)

If you want to use carts, here is a writeup on what I felt was my best attempt at building an 801 cart using polyfill. I thought the PTB's were not as consistant for the 801, but I am no master of cart building! In fact, I drip now, 4 drops at a time, vape until the flavor is gone and it tastes like the atty is dry.

I suggest to try it out if you have the materials -
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...od-801-best-attempt-refilling-your-carts.html

If you would like to drip, I would like to suggest that you drip directly onto teh atomizer bridge one drop at a time, with a 3-4 second break between drips. You can actually see the bridge soak up the liquid. If you drip too quickly, it will just run down into the atomizer without soaking up. If this is good or bad, I really don't know.

quovadis's suggestion of blowing out the atty once a day is a great suggestion. Depending on your vaping habits and how much juice you use, you may need to do it twice.

Glad you like the Stick, it's IMO, the best 3.6v PV on the market, it's versatility are fairly unmatched right now without building your own mod.

Hi RP,

Curious to know why you & Quovadis think it's good to blow out your atomizer 1-2 times a day. I personally never blow out my atomisers (except when new, which I think should be official advice).

People often ask me what is the best care for atomisers, and I don't really know what to advise.... (except to enjoy:))
