haha =D

Well ive had a minor setback ( not that it affects anything so to speak ) but my mac just had a major crash...

but it was a nice opportunity for me to go out and get me a new machine - first time in years i had a PC but oh man what a PC.. *pets cabinet*

What, no PINK? We must have a pink one...please.

I have not tried it yet for warranty reasons, but the Dura/510 usb charger looks exactly the same as they Ego charger.

are they the same?

 

[AlexTM]

They look the same, unfortunately, they are not - one, the Dura, charges the batteries with ~150mAh, the eGo one with 420.

Meaning, you can charge an eGo in a Dura charger, but it will be slow. If you try a Dura battery in an eGo charger, it will be toast.

Mark them carefully. The ego chargre says "output 420 mAh" on the back, don't put ordinary 510 batteries into it.

 

[borjis]

ah good to know. thanks!

 

[Ethan_Janty]

Alex, thanks for jumping in there. Borjis, Alex is correct, all eGo fast chargers come with an insert that reads:

"Attention:
This kind of USB charger can't be used to charge JOYE510 batteries or it will destroy the batteries"

Ethan

 

[borjis]

I didn't have that insert in my ego box.

glad I asked before I tried it.

 

[AlexTM]

It really doesn't say so in the instructions in the eGo set, just checked myself. And no warning elsewhere, either. Might be a good idea to add it, not everybody reads the forums.

Even better idea: Make the eGo charger in a different colour and/or write onto it "eGo only!" People who use both a normal 510 USB-charger and an eGo charger are bound to confuse them.

 

[borjis]

yep it confused me.

you guys should put a decal on it that says EGO only.

On another note count another satisfied EGO owner.
I was a Dura user over the last year. always had to bring
in 2 batteries to work, always had one on the charger.

not with the Ego. I vaped 9am to 9pm on and off and the battery needed
a charge after. way cool!!

Hi,

Does anyone else have a problem with JS V3 randomly cutting out and requiring 2/3 pushes of switch to reactivate. I'm on my second one in three weeks and getting exact same prob again. Sometimes it flashes white twice b4 dying. Is this a bad batch?

 

[Mik_Janty]

Well, seeing as youre asking if anyone else has the problem, i doubt its a whole batch gone bad - sounds like you are just unlucky and got the TGI friday batch - in any regard im sure Ethan will help you with this , provided ofcourse you are a JantyUSA shopper!

 

[impex42]

It's a great piece of kit and was supplied by iVapour UK (who efficiently replaced 1st one immediately) but obviously it's gonna be a pain for me (and Toby) to keep replacing them every couple of weeks, hence the batch question. I should say, I've eliminated atty/battery/connections - does seem to be the unit itself and it cuts out when on usb as well.

 

[impex42]

7 & 8 - real techy look

 

[Mik_Janty]

Impex, - im glad to hear that Toby is helping you sort this out, however keep in mind that this is a forum for Jantyworld - ie. customers who bought their stuff from there.

Ofcourse i see why you posted here; to ask if it might have been a bad batch, but from our knowledge this is not the case. So i encourage you to continue any support related questions with Toby, and not on here. I hope you understand!

I think I am with StuBear62 on this, I am not a big fan of the cutoff, it is very much like the auto on my kissbox, I have adapted the "harmonica draw" that Mik is talking about, and it is actually very efficient for keeping a auto going, but I really think that the cutoff could be extended a bit, after my ego auto battery died, Ethan said the would replace it with a new manual.

If Janty decides to extend the cutoff a bit... say to the same duration of the 901 I would be going pure auto.

My KB auto is good for my 40 minute drive to work... no taking the hands off the wheel when driving.

 

[PriestSLC]

I clean my batterys before using the charger every single time i charge, never had one problem with anything like that.

might disconnect your charger as well and clean it from the sound of things.8-o

I do the same thing, I make sure that the center contact and the threads are completely clean prior to charging any battery, and even when changing battery/atty's.

 

[smokinridge]

If you make #8 & #9 I will buy whatever it fits!

 

[jnnfrlsw]

I have 510 cartos from 2 places (dietsmokes and Nhaler) and both fit perfect with my ego-cone and all.

 

[Sidora]

I have the 510 cartos (bought from litecigusa) and they fit perfect also. And looks pretty good
