Would you say this unit will get clogged or have dripping issues?

I like auto batts, and it looks like this one was performing well. It also appears that you prefer manual batts, so that might not make you the best objective reviewer for this sort of thing.

Yes Giantfan,
I will say that this Battery would NOT be drip friendly. The hole (where the atty connects) is very small compared to a 510. And in MHO, I believe that if juice were to get inside, and it will (its liquid), would stay inside and might, now I am saying might, be a bit harder to get out. Especially if you turn the battery as you drag on it. I tend to do this with Auto batteries. Just a habit I guess.
I like both Manual and Auto batteries equally, so I would be a good one to review this. I am not biased at all with either battery. I like to drive, but not use either hand to hold the battery as I have it hang out of my mouth. Yes it is a bit heavy, but I can do it.
This was the reason that I got this, was to have an auto batty in my arsenal with my manuals and use both. But there are just a few things that, in MHO, need to be worked on and / or improved with.
The way it is now, I just cannot recommend this to people. Sorry.
If Janty fixes the major 2 things, a LED and the draw on it, then I would recommend this battery. Not until then.

Hey,
If you mean the cone ? I tried it with and without the cone on and yes it was eiser, but too much air without the cone. This is suppose to be used with the cone and if you want the Auto Batt, I would suggest to use the cone or too much air comes thru. I just didn't think the manual would be that way, but I feel that either with or without the cone and the manual batt will work . Only because of the button control for power. The auto is better with the cone, but still got that headach.

Oopsie, yes I meant the cone. I didn't even think about "too much" airflow. I had that problem when I got my disposable 510 and put a Joye atty on it. 2 holes in the atty made it so you had to draw pretty hard to even get the battery to turn on. The atty that comes with the disp 510 has only 1 hole so the battery kicks in a lot easier.

Thanks for the clarification as I was thinking about ordering an auto battery just to see for myself. There are times when hands free vaping comes in handy. Guess I'll keep my 510 autos for that.
Thanks again stu!

Hey dudeman,
Your welcome, but do remember that if those flaws are fixed, ie the LED and the air flow I would highly recommend this battery. Just not now. and I do like to have both as I do with my 510's. I have both in the mega style. Be Good and remember to Vape On!

 

[Lightgeoduck]

You know I don't really watch reviews (shhh don't tell) but I would have to say thanks stu...

I was sort of fearing what you discovered would be the case,,, and I agree FOR ME I think I will wait on an auto battery until after (if) they make those slight changes....Thanks for the review and hopefully it benefits the community as a whole

 

[stubear62]

Thaks LGD,
It means a lot comming from a vet like you here on the forum. I hope Mik chimes in too and lets us all know if it will or will not happen.
This is why I do my reviews so I could possibly be of some help to someone. Even if it's just one person, I feel like I did some good. TY,
Stu

Is there anyway to get the 201 to work on the Janty Stick V3? I have like 20 of these attys and they worked great on the V1 and V2. Thanks for any input.

I don't have a V3, Dan but I did modify an M201 to work on a different mod (withheld this being Janty's forum) with *some* success. And, I did use M201s on my V1 and V2 Janty Sticks so I know what you're trying to accomplish.

The threading on the M201s that I have stop about 1/4" short of the end of the atty. Using a mini tubing cutter (designed for copper fuel lines) I was able to slice the un-threaded portion of the M201 off while retaining good clean threads. Spun it onto my mod and I had air flow, not a hell of a lot, but it wasn't none at all like previously. My mod has a hole drilled perpendicular to the outer atty thread so the the end of the cut-off M201 when threaded fell short of covering that hole, thus air flow. I have no idea what the V3 JS has... I take it there is no longer that cross-cut in the face of the connection point within the JS that allowed the 201s to work in V1 and V2?

Is this product gonna be restocked soon or discontinued altogether.
I noticed on JantyUSA.com there are multiple variations (Classic,Extended,Black,Titanium,etc) but NONE is In-Stock.

Also is the 'Black' same as 'Matte Black'?

Hey guys

There IS a LED on the auto. That small hole you show in the beginning of your video IS the LED. Look inside while you vape. Its only there to indicate whether or not the unit is working. Its not ment to be seen by god and everyone around you - so that might be why you missed it.

Its the exact same way it is on our kissbox - and if you havent owned one of those, i guess it can look like a weird place to look for it!

As for the airflow, i cant say - it could be you got a bad cone? did you try your other atomizer cover on this one? I was speaking to Ethan last night on skype and he has an auto too, and his has a light draw to it - so.. it seems like your cone, or your atomizer could be the problem?

Hi Mik,
So that little hole on the silver ring has the LED? No way!
How in the hell are you or anyone suppose to know that? I never seen a kissbox let alone own one, but that is a very, very little hole to have a LED in. How bright is it? I only have one cone for my batts as that was what came in the eGo kit. I tried 5 attys on it and they are all the same. I tried 3 Janty atty's and 2 other 510 atty's that were brand new one I have had. I used all of them on the Manual button Batt too and they are fine with those. I only had one that was a bit lighter on the draw with the manual batt and that was still giving me a hard draw with the Auto Batt.
I think you should have something with the Auto Batts to show what that little hole is for as I and others that might NOT know about how the kissbox is to let us know thats the LED in there. Sheesh. Should have a larger hole or something like the manual button where the LED can be seen better. Goodness, I am so glad I don't wear coke bottle glasses as I would never have seen that hole to begin with. (not picking on anyone).
Still, I am nt to happy with the Auto Batt as for the draw being hard and having to take 3 or 4 primer puffs just so I could get a good drag of vapor. Not what I feel is that good of a battery in MHO.

 

[stubear62]

Okay, I see the barely lit 'red' LED light up in that very small pin hole. That sux really.. I still believe it should be a bit bigger and more visible so people useing these batteries can see it better. I was useing this batt last night in bed in the dark and didn't see it. I had to cup my hand and try to look down into that small pin hole and barely see a faint red LED light up.
That is not so cool to know its in there.
If I don't want anyone to see that light up, I would put my finger over it. You need to make that hole bigger so noone has to strain to see the LED, Mik.
As for the air flow, still too hard.
I only have one cone and I tried 5 atty's. wWhat more am I or anyone else suppose to do?

 

[Mik_Janty]

The LED and its size is determined from years of people telling us they want to move away from having LED's shine up on their devices. So while youd rather have one, this is a direct implementation based on customer wishes. I think youll find as you progress that the LED is only useful for you and for your troubleshooting.

So while there is a LED on there its actually only on there to troubleshoot, - not to navigate by, and it is made so it is not ment to be seen. Alot of people prefer that, seeing as if it lights up, you could be confused with an analogue smoker - and the more you get into the e-cig business you (or most people) will find that the LED while being cool, is also something you wish to be able to concede.

As for the hard draw, sounds like you have to send it back to me - does not sound normal at all. The draw on it should be light - the VERY first draw can be a bit harder, but should never feel cumbersome!

Okay, so I shouldn't get a headache every time I take a draw from it? Also, why would I have to prime it 3 to 4 times before getting a decent puff of vapor that satisfy's me? Is that too the hard draw?
Iwill open a ticket, give another try on the Auto batt, but if I still don't care for it I will return it for a manual one. Maybe I will get the silver if the have it.

 

[Mik_Janty]

It sounds like there is something wrong with it in my ears. However, you need to speak to Ethan about it, i havent yet gotten an auto (final version) in my hands, so i cant tell you exactly - but hes vaping his all the time at the moment, so.. he should know.

 

[jimmyzee]

I don't think you're following what I was saying the charger that comes with the eGo is a usb charger that outputs 420mA and has a wall adapter that has a USB socket that that plugs into..so it IS the fast charger..
The one that comes with the tornado is the standard 510 mains charger that outputs like 180mA and has an adapter for the ego battery to even be able to plug into it..

And why would I want them to charge in 2 hours if they last 8-10 hours? ...because I like to charge them up last thing at night so that I have two fresh full batteries in the morning..I alternate between the 2 with different lavors in each all day long..so waiting 6ish hours for one to be full before I can plug the other one in to top off before I go to bed is brutally slow..

gl
I am still on my first battery 12 hours latter it is going to take longer than i thought. I am charging the other battery with the USB charger I will let you know if there is a difference it will be a while with these bad boy batteries "lol"

I've been using an eGo for like 2 weeks now and researched the crap out of it...you don't need to let me know anything ...I already know..

Thanks RG I just tried and no luck still no vaporThanks any other suggestions? Danno

Jimmyzee, Jimmy_2k9, Lorikay13, Daifne

First, Jimmy_2k9, Congratulations with your purchase on an ego. Too bad you chose the one that had 28 days warranty as opposed to the one that has 6 month FULL warranty.

Now, if i may ask you something?

Why do you come to a JANTY forum, and ask questions about how this thing works, or what you should choose when you are going to select a competitor? It seems odd. Oh wait, are they not answering you over at TW's forum?

Well from what i hear, get used to it. I do believe thats part of their customer "service".

Anyways, good luck with your clone, and have fun getting support on TWs forum - cause you are out of this forum; In case you wonder why, it is against forum rules to advertise or promote another reseller in someone elses forum, and it does seem to me like you might have come here to do just that in the first place.

I will ask a moderator to ban Jimmyzee, and Jimmy_2k9 - the others mentioned here will get a warning.

- notice: we do NOT mind people discussing things, and we really dont like to ban people. But when you buy a product that is not ours and you use our forum for support / OR if you advertise other resellers as (what you think) is a better/good way to get OUR products from = then its ban time. I hope thats understandable.

As for the rest of you here: You all know our policies, and our warranties. Yes you get one atomizer extra in the TW set, - but you also get 5 months less warranty on that AND your eGo. I think we clearly know who has the best deal and the best service anyways. If you want to discuss this, go ahead, but i will not tolerate anyone promoting another company in our forum - this is not because i or Janty is afraid of the "competition", we are not : After all, we invented the very product they are now buying from us, and sticking their logos on.

But, we here at Janty believe in following the rules - and the rules on this board are very clear - thats why you do NOT see Janty people on other peoples forums either as ourselves, or in disguise trying to sneak advertisements around - not only is that very lame, but it is beneath us to do so.

Just wanted to let you know why you guys might get a notice from an admin soon.

Happy vaping: But get your support where you bought your item. Thats part of what you pay for.

/Mik

Awesome Mik..
I went with the Janty one..mainly because I didn't want to deal with that other company..also because the fast charger and the warranty was worth way more to me..
I've been quite quite pleased..and everything I've been reading so far has made me glad I went the route I did..
I've noticed a trend that so far almost all the problems I've heard from people have been from people that went with the tornado instead...just seams like the rebranded knock off is a bit cheaper in quality..

My only complaint is that Janty really needs to get a handle on their stock issues...the US shop is constantly sold out of everything about as soon as they get it..and darn it I want to order extra parts.. like getting some more DURA atomizers.. is CNY the hold up? or just that it's so darn popular that it's impossible to keep in stock?
