same as above but i only want the black. when will they be here?
I've worked in manufacturing and know that there is no such thing as 100% total quality and that no matter how stringent the QA is, there will Always be a statistical percentage of defects.
What made this thread ironic to me is that I decided 2 weeks ago to get an eGo with Automatic batteries. For 10 days I scowered the web looking for either the batteries and charger or a starter kit. A few people told me that they would be getting some in 5 to 6 weeks but I wanted it now. I was about to give up when I saw that Janty Canada said that they were supposed to have some Automatic starter kits in this week.
I e-Mailed Sean and he confirmed this. The next day I was about to place a pre-order when Sean e-Mailed me back to say that the Automatic kits were in. Too Cool. I ordered one and felt glad that the long search was over. Now, 24 hours later I read this thread.
Im sure that if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance of getting a bad battery, that I will be the person who does. Its just the way my luck is going lately. But I also feel, that if I do have a problem that Janty / Janty Canada / Sean will take care of it. Ive read very good things about Janty support and it was a deciding factor in my purchase decision.
I've experienced this whole battey near the button getting hot thing too...
I've found that yeah it generally is an issue with the atty....it either being flooded or needing a cleaning...or just chain vaping too much....or dirty atty/battery contact points..
Think about it when we were using regular 510s alot of us held a finger on the atty to monitor it...now that it's concealed and we cant do that...the heat transfers to the connector and the atty shroud and on to the switch end of the battery...
though I can see how excessive heat at that end of the battery could result in battery damage...when I've had it happen I usually just blow out and clean the atty, or blow it out and a quick dry burn and cleaning and it's back to business as usual.
I clean mine mostly as perscribed...with a bit of highping's atty resurection method thrown in...I cleaned mine as suggested by Janty to see if built up liquid could be the problem, but unfortunately they perform the same. I don't take long hard draws or chain vape like I did when I first started vaping, but I do take 4 or 5 short puffs before setting it down.
In my case, Mik, I think you're right and it's the attys not the battery. It happens when I use one of the two Janty, Joye attys that I have and after 4 or 5 hits the battery band and cone is too hot to touch.
Would this be a warranty issue for the attys since they are the ones warrantied for 6 months? I don't remember them doing it when I first got them, although one did burn a liquid when it was new and left a terrible taste that I was never able to get out completely.
It makes sense now why the batteries don't get hot all the time. It's only when I use the 2 Janty attys, so maybe they are running too hot?
There is only one colour you need to make - CIGAR BROWN!!!!!!!
I've been away from the forum for a while, and now I have come back only to find that I need to buy an eGo. Given all the rave reviews, I'm surprised there isn't already a thread with everyone asking when they will be in stock again! Or am I just missing it?
I've already registered for stock notfication, but when are they expected to be available again? Sorry if everyone except me knows this already, but I don't see any any recent threads that say.
