Great review, however you missed out on the protruding atomizer "feature" - makes it possible to screw/unscrew the atomizer without any problems!

And.. where did you get a white iphone ? I want one!

Parked/Mik, are you sure about the protected battery? It doesn't look like a protected 10440 and the new size of the V3 seems like it would prevent a protected 10440 from being used, since the protected 10440 is a little longer than the unprotected. Not that you should need a protected battery in the stick, since it has onboard protection, right?

It has onboard protection yes - and the battery is the exact same as in the old sticks, from what i understand.

The old ones (originally supplied with V1 and V2 sticks) are not protected, although Janty and other suppliers offer protected batteries for sale.

The original JS batteries and the protected ones are the exact same size, I have one of each and compared them.

River,
You're correct, I've got a 10440P in my V3 right now. It fits and is no larger than the old batteries.

Color me wrong then I guess. I was reading another thread a while ago where the upshot was that the protected batteries were slightly longer than the unprotected version, due, apparently, to the inclusion of the circuitry. Not sure how they can be the same size and be protected and be the same storage capacity, but I guess there are bigger mysteries than that in the world.

I'd sure like to be able to order a V3 though.

Ok parked....you really only need that white one to go with your white iPhone so.......can I PM you for that black one now????



Super review as always btw

 

[Hyperspace]

They're not the same capacity. The protected ones say 320 mAh and the unprotected say 360 mAh. So you're losing some capacity with the new protected batteries.
Trustfire makes a protected 10440 that is a little longer and rated at 350 mAh but they won't fit in the stick. So it seems the unprotected 10440 batteries are your best bet in the stick since the stick already has protection.

Heaven Gifts has them in stock at a good price. I have their version of the V2 as well as a V2 from Janty. They are identical except for the absence of the Janty logo.

I just ordered the V3 from H-G and expect the higher protrusion of the atty to work better with the 510 and 901 adapters (also available from H-G). The adapters were almost flush on the V2 and thus very difficult to use.

Mystery solved, thanks.

I'm currently using protected 500mAh UltraFire 10440's in my Joye Stick V2. They're a little tight but they DO fit.

 

[tmbrown327]

The V3 appears to be significantly shorter, so I think you'd be out of luck using those in this version.

 

[BanjoMan]

Maybe... I have one on order so I guess I'll find out. Even if I can't get the cap down all the way if I can get the threads to catch they should still work.

 

[tmbrown327]

You're a braver man than I. I have nightmares about losing that dam cover.

 

[BanjoMan]

You're a braver man than I.

Well, I DO play a banjo in public.

 

[Mr.Darcy]

i thought the V3 had a new battery cap cover with a ring on it,so you could screw it on and off more easily,or thread a lanyard through it.

was i mistaken?

 

[Mik_Janty]

This is an accessory item that we will start selling as soon as we get them. I dont know if they will be fitted as standard on the V3 or not.

 

[Mr.Darcy]

lets hope so.they're badly needed.
