Parked's Review On Janty Stick Generic 801 Atomizers do Work !!

Hey guys and gals

I have had several e-mails from people and seen some threads posted saying that some Generic Atomizers Don't fit.

I just did this video showing that the Most popular units do

YouTube - Parked's Review Of The Janty Stick Generic Atomizer Fitment

RN4072 Works
DSE801 Works
Joye 304 Works

Some are tighter then others but you just need to give it a good push and a twist and it will drop right in.

I have not encountered a non fitment atomizer yet. Of course I didn't not try every model that is out there. But I did try the most popular ones

Hope this video helps

Thanks

Great video

Thanks

Ludo, does this apply to the TAWAs as well?

I'm sort of wondering about this as well. I only ordered once a warrentied atty from Janty (the rest were always TAWAs) and it died on me pretty quickly.

Again, I believe in the "gem" theory where you never know what you get.

i confirm that the battery for the janty dura (automatic) gives out around 3.3volts...ive tested this on 2 of my batteries.....

I'll be darned. The manuals give 4.2 at max charge.

 

[Kelemvor]

my automatics are 4.2V too.

at 3.3V the atomizers doesn't really provide much. i would change the battery at that point 8-o

Well I took my adaptor apart this weekend. Had to mangle it a bit to get it torn down.

So I took out the resistor and just soldered a wire betweeen the connectors. It was still a fairly delicate job getting the connector center pieces to re-seat. But I got it done and it works perfectly! Gives the same performance as the AltSmoke unit only the atty is now less buried. The JS is rally nice with a properly functioning 510! I actually like this unit now!!!

Congrats on the "repair" ...

...now if you could only find a properly functioning 3.3v battery

Ludo, Ethan, Mik...
I'm glad to hear the explanation about your more expensive but longer lasting classic attys, but we'd like to know about the TAWAs, too. Beyond the limited warranty, what's the story with the TAWAs? Keep that info coming please... think of it this way - good info on this might help boost sales.

 

[tmbrown327]

Probably would if they could maintain stock levels. Anyway, they've said repeatedly that the TAWA is the same as the warrantied version, I guess we'll find out when they answer.

 

[Ludo]

TAWA'S have been adapted accordingly since September 2009, so the life cycle is prolonged on these as well.

 

[vaporboy]

I have use classic atty both janty and TAWA, I think both of them are the eariler version. It stamp 0509 and 0609. But I have bought one loccally which has a stamp 0909, it produce much more vapor and durable. The seller here call it V2. Guy, you should order it to try, very impress. I stop using 510 anymore since new janty 801 atty produce same vapor to 510 with less effort.
Try it with Ecopure, you will be surprize how much it can produce a ton of vapor.

 

[Quitter]

I kept giving mine a second, third, fourth chance and at times it was semi-okay, but most times flat out sucked. Then I found out Janty puts a resistor in it to cut down the voltage, which explained the poor performance. So I "drawered" it as well and bought the AltSmoke 801 to 510 adaptor. It kicked ... and really made the JS a great tool (never was able to like the 810 atty/cart system).

But I had put $20 of my family budget into the JS adaptor and was feeling really ripped off. So I took it apart (had to mangle it a bit since they're not designed to be serviced) and removed the resistor & soldered a new, heavier guage wire in. Now it works like the AltSmoke unit and is great!! The only downside to the AS unit is that it's small and buries the 510 atty in the stick body. The end of the cart only sticks out about 1/2". The corrected JS adaptor work perfectly and keeps the atty/cart in the better position.

Just one man's story

I blew out my atty on my Janty Stick last night and switched out the battery, but the used up battery felt a little greasy when I removed it so I folded up a paper towel and twisted it a bit inside the battery chamber to soak up any juice that might have been in there. It was the first time I'd ever done this.

The paper towel might have gotten caught up in the spring as I had to tug a little to remove it. I didn't think anything about it until I put the fresh battery in and it didn't work...good batts just leave it blinking red now.

What did I do to the battery chamber that I might be able to un-do....I hope.

 

[Mik_Janty]

Hey

Sounds odd, - if it blinks when you put it in, the battery does have connection, so i think its your battery that might have decided to be the king of timing , and just die on you in a peculiar moment!

Do you have another battery you can test with?

/Mik

 

[Ludo]

This just breaks my heart, send it back for replacement

 

[thewomenfolk]

I tried another good battery and it did the same thing....blinked red. This is strange. Maybe I should try a different atty? But that would suggest a real coinkidink.

Yes, I'm heart broken too! Sympathize with me more!

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I know these things can be taken apart....do I dare?

Edit: Going to the dentist now. I need ultra sympathy!

Before you crack it open and possibly void a warranty --

Get a flashlight and a magnifying glass. There is a small wire that connects to the metal (threaded) adapter that houses the battery cap. The wire is encased in black epoxy so it's sort of hard to see. When you pulled the paper towel out you might have broken the solder joint. The bottom of the stick (switch side) is painted gloss black and the epoxy matches it closely so the wire is tough to see. But, you can *feel* for it with a probe (tooth pick or something blunt). Once you establish where that wire is, you might be able to see/follow it to the attachment point of the battery cap connection. If it's broken, you're done.

This is the issue with mine and yours is reacting exactly as mine did. Perhaps, someone with a working JS can do a continuity test (batt connection to atty) and give you something more to go on -- other than a physical connection trace. Good luck.

Before anyone goes completely McGyver on this Jantystick, I think it might be best to consider the options:

1) Send it back to get a new one, as Ludo said

or

2) Try to fix it yourself, and possibly void the warranty =/

- And take it from an expert in this, - these things are HARD to assemble and fix, even if you do get it open - if you plan to not open it and fix it, or try to open it without it being damaging, you just set yourself up to a really hard task!

Choose wisely young adventurer.

[Mik_Janty]

Hey guys,

let me clarify this a bit.

The new cooperation with Joye means alot of things, one of these is that Joye now is able to sell the products ( such as the 510 ) to other companies. This means that what has earlier been known only as a JANTY product, is now something you _can_ get elsewhere.

However, if you buy it from somewhere other than Janty, then you will also have to adhere to their warranty policy, their refund policy and so on.

Also, the products which you are finding now, are older products so to speak - the 510 dura-c is not a new product by any means, and once we launch new products there will be a period of time where you can only buy these from Janty - and then (once we see it fit) we will release these products for sale through Joye to other companies who might wish to carry this brand in their shopping baskets.

All of this is quite normal, and a good way for us to conduct our business: basically we have exclusivity of the products we wish to have that on, and the products at the "back of the line" - allthough still both functional and worth the cash by all means, gets a "second life".

Hope this clears things up a bit

 

[Kelemvor]

...but still my wife is sold to the original dura atomizers we got with the starterpack and as tawas. they seem to be a bit different, in a positive way. and no, its not just the goldband

seems i have to verify that with ordering some more tawas. any chance for a christmas sale this year ?
