Months with no stock,
Promises for new hardware,
Can't keep up with the old stuff,
Natural disasters we accept,
Holiday and vacations too,
Retro-fitted adapters we await,
Now no communication too?
Hurting in Ohio-Ruth Ann
Hi Ruth Ann,
Another Ohio vaper here. It is odd that this forum seems so quiet- it used to be a hotbed of activity and information.
I was looking at the Janty USA site today and see that they're selling DURA adapters for the Janty Stick to ship out on the 23rd and am sitting here still staring at the original one I bought that is pretty much useful as a paperweight waiting for the promised replacement for I forget how long now, and it was kind of stinging to see them for sale on the site before I even have any word on a working one.
Their website makes me kind of nuts, every time I go there it tells me to upgrade to at least internet exporer 6 and I'm using Vista 64 bit with Internet Explorer 8 installed.
My guess is that this company is undergoing growing pains that are pulling folks in several different directions with different itineraries for how to grow the place. At the same time, they are just people who might be new to corporate growth and as I look at all the pictures of parties in manilla, it makes me wonder if they are just slightly overindulging in their new found fame a bit and losing the stay-hungry-eye-of-the-tiger part that got 'em growing in the first place.
They have some top notch folks working for them- particularly Ethan, who must be tearing his hair out every day in customer service. I hope he gets supported and doesn't give up.
Otherwise, at some point down the road, we'd be discussing this stuff in someone else's forum.
My original plan was to get multiple J-sticks even though I wasn't all that sold on an 801 penstyle atty because I was waiting for that adaptor for the 510- then my wife and I could be using the same device and hardware and still have 510 atty's and at least the battery life of the 10440 with a USB passthrough. Made great sense to me. 510 J-sticks, three members of my household all happy (23 year old in the basement now off analog's too) and on the same hardware. Well, I got all three j-sticks two of which are now collecting dust because the other 2 members will let go of their 510 atty's when pried from their cold, dead fingers and they are making me buy those batteries I never wanted to buy again that the stick was going to save me from spending on. I'm still vaping on an 801 because even though I want to use a 510 too I'm stubbornly trying to see my plan through.
In the meantime, the wife got tired of battery issues yesterday and told me to order 2 chucks and 18650's from china. They're on the way, but I would have been happy to throw that 210 bucks to Janty if they had things together by now. The house has now gone multiple hardware instead of being able to have one source. That's ok I suppose, but poop... things could have been a lot easier. We'll have to see how this all rolls out in the next couple of months. I don't forsee things getting more stable at Janty 'til next spring when they iron out their product issues and negotiate the coming holiday sales season. I hope they at least have product before the christmas sales are too late to catch up to.
Ciao!
Steve
