Merged old sticky threads (2)

[oso]

Thanks again everyone. I've tried everything to no avail. Ended up contacting Ethan about my warranty.

Yeah, when I first received the eGo, it worked absolutely wonderfully. All of the talk is true, when it's working properly. I'm just anxious to have my fully functioning eGo back in action.

Thanks again!

 

[franklyspeaking]

Hey franklyspeaking,
As I thought too, the 3 month warranty for the batts is wrong. I had been told by Ethan, they too have the 6 month warranty like the attys.
It's the only battery that Janty sell's that has 6 months warranty though.
Just a heads up on that..

Awesome news, Thanks Stu!

One of the Janty atomizers died yesterday, and the other one was dead this morning. No flavor, no throat hit and only a slight wisp of vapor production with both of them. This is all with dripping. Gonna try to clean out and restore these, but I'm not hopeful at this point. And all less than a week after I received the JS. Maybe it was a problem with the attys all along. Do these new attys with the tight mesh bridge tend to die easily too? Is it even worth it to get the attys replaced under warranty? What other sources of 801 style atomizers would you recommend?

Janty admins - look for a ticket from me, either for the atomizers, or if possible to just return the Stick - just too much money spent to make me this unhappy. Gonna go smoke an analog now.

I stopped keeping up with the Tesla thread a while ago, but I thought that was primarily being developed for the 510 atomizer?

I thought the Tesla was gonna be made for 801s too - Mik's prototype vid had him using a Baby J (w/ 801 style atomizer).

 

[Mik_Janty]

Just fyi: most people that draw on autos do the harmonica draw - what this means is that you double, or even triple inhale and once you learn this technique the cutoff on the auto is actually non existant, seeing as you will keep it alive until you decide it has to cutoff (by not drawing anymore).

Its difficult to explain how, but in reality its quite easy - just draw, but 1-2 seconds before the cutoff activates, take a small sip of air, and begin inhaling again.

 

[Kelemvor]

sure mik, normally you were right. but stubear is a different kind, a real hardcore vaper.
as he stated earlier he often hit the cutoff on the manual. so i can understand that he is not really satisfied with the auto.

i for myself like the cigarlike vaping on the auto, if the atomizer is performing i am fine with 6-8 second puffs on the auto, i tend to use the manual similar lately btw. giving the battery a halfsecond of rest improves even the manual performance imho.

stubear, try that if you didn't already. a steady press on the button will give you less... i swear.

 

[Mik_Janty]

Aaah okay - well, to be honest the autos are not and have never been ment as a tool for hardcore vapers in my eyes atleast.

 

[stubear62]

Yup, That is exactly how I do it. Look at my reviews. That what I do. My first few reviews people thought I was using an auto batt but it was manual and I know the trick as I was told to do it this way when I first started. But I believe I will stay with the manual on the eGo and wait for the Baby J to come out.
I DO like the auto on the eGo, but its JUST NOT for me. I use to have a lot of the 510 batts in auto and manual and used them both. I just can't with the eGo.
So, on to the next GREAT design from Mik (or two). hehehe

How do I do this? I mean, which cartomizer do I buy and which adapter and stuff. I wanna try!

 

[tmbrown327]

Sorry to hear about your atties. Hard telling exactly what's wrong. A lot of people new to this tend to fry their atties by not keeping them wet enough, and another batch of people keep them too wet. Vaping is definitely not for the people who aren't willing to fuss about with the things to some degree. Once you get the stick working with the right equipment and liquid though, it's a real workhorse. Since the alternative is slowly rotting your lungs out, I'm willing to put in the time. I've been off analogs for more than a year now with it.

My suggestion would be to try atties from a variety of sources and see what works for you.

You're probably right about the Tesla. I just stopped paying attention after a few months and probably forgot what was going on, it's been too long.

 

[Drozd]

Hi Drozd,

Thank you for your input. I have to admit I don't really understand all the voltage stuff and how it affects the e-cig. Lower voltage does affect amount of vapor correct? I honestly don't know if I would like a stiffer draw or not. I swear I sometimes get a headache from drawing on the KR8 batteries. Is that because it is too airy to get a good hit?

yes lower voltage does affect the amount of vapor...it works like this you have the voltage of the battery and the resistance of the atty...lower the voltage but keep the resistance results in less vapor...raise the voltage but keep the resistance you get more vapor (what HV bat mods and PTs without an inline battery do)... conversely keeping the voltage but lowering the resistance will produce more vapor (what the premium cartos or lower resistance atties (like on the nhaler magnum do)...

As for the headache from drawing on the KR8..it depends...is it because you're sucking hard..or taking longer drags to get that full mouth feeling..me it's because I find the KR8 airy and have to drag longer to get more vapor or that full mouth feeling...with the eGo and the cone I have to suck harder but because of the prewarmed air effect i get more vapor with a shorter (length of time) drag..

 

[Drozd]

How do I do this? I mean, which cartomizer do I buy and which adapter and stuff. I wanna try!

get a 510 battery to 901 adapter (I got mine from madvapes) and get some KR808d-1 cartomizers (you have plenty of places to choose from...me..I'd probably go with a handful of blanks from midwest vapor...or some premium cartomizers from V4L...or even better wait about a week for the even newer and premium-ier ones from vapornine..

 

[Rob1111]

Yes, I've tried the PTD mod on the eGo automatic. Flavor comes through a little more, it has a nice draw (for me), and the carts can get a couple of extra drops. Of course there's nothing wrong with the default arrangement either, unless you simply don't care for polyfill. Though I will say that even if that's the case (as was for me), give these carts a chance. You know when the carts are empty, and when you pull out the poly to refill, there's very little liquid that didn't get used.

The only thing I've thought of doing is getting the mega atomizers and mega carts from Totally Wicked, though there are a lot of mixed reviews about what, if any, benefit they yield. Again, you'd probably be just fine with the default arrangement.

Could it be that this is a kit that you simply don't have to mess with? I'm thinking so...

I don't have to worry about PCC's and swapping batteries at work. One assembled unit and a bottle of liquid is all I need to carry on the go. The eGo even keeps up with my marathon vape sessions at night. After one initial charge, I was able to drain a battery in four hours (of very heavy usage), and by that time the other had long been charged and ready to swap. Way less hassle than my usual ritual.

I'm definitely a very satisfied customer. My only gripe is that the kit didn't come with a spare atomizer and another sleeve, so that I could share with a friend. Ideally I'd like to be able to give my spare to someone at work and just retrieve it at the end of the day. I could probably sell 4 or 5 people who have tried e-cigs and gone back to smoking because of performance, leaky cart, and charge issues that the eGo has fixed for me.

I couldn't ask for a better product. It'd be well worth it at twice the price.

 

[Mik_Janty]

i think it may be a nice add on to the ego set producing a longer cover cone to be used with a ego-801 configuration.

This is not possible due to minimum material sizes, and the eGos original size. That is why we are developing the Baby J, which is the eGo's big brother!

 

[bmanchee]

Hey tmbrown,
Thanks again for the response. I did soak the attys in alcohol and then put them under hot running water last night, and one of them came back to life. Yesterday was just a bad day all around, and I was really frustrated at the world at that point. Gonna keep plugging away with the JS.

Vaping is definitely not for the people who aren't willing to fuss about with the things to some degree. Once you get the stick working with the right equipment and liquid though, it's a real workhorse. Since the alternative is slowly rotting your lungs out, I'm willing to put in the time.

LOL - yeah I'm figuring that out. Makes me think of how I've always disliked Microsoft Windows. When I was younger, I used to tinker around with Linux all the time as an alternative - nowadays I find myself putting up with Windows because it just works, and I just don't have the time (and patience?) for all of that tinkering to make things work. You're right though - not giving vaping a decent chance is pretty much a death sentence.

 

[Kelemvor]

@stubear62, not to mock you, but on our german forum one guy just received an ego battery with defective cutoff, meaning there is no cutoff

 

[ournature]

i'm looking forward to the baby j of course!
801's are the best for carts but they miss the warm vapor 510's do produce.
The baby j would be the perfect ego's big brother if could find a way to make it to produce a warm vapor.
will a lil more voltage do that? like 4.5 to 5V?
It would be great!

 

[stubear62]

Really? No cutoff? Thats good for him..
How is that macking me? I don't see it that way. He got a batt that has no cutoff, thats good, I think? LOL

I just broke into the cartomizer world with my ego, and I love them for about 40% of my vaping days.

Im typically a dripper, but its a royal PIA to be walking through the airport luggage and all and trying to drip in my ego atty. I find that regular carts just suck and I have no luck with them regardless of what mod I try.

With cartos Im good to go for a few hours. Still gettin the hang of the refilling bit, but its improving as we speak. I wonder if Janty will ever begin making cartos!

Safe travels,

To refill the cartomizer, put 12-15 drops of liquid in one of the end pieces that covers the new cartomizer....condoms, I guess is what they are called. Push the end of the cartomizer that you draw from (the white part with the hole) into the condom. The cartomizer sucks up the liquid, and it works perfectly. The method is described somewhere in this mass of information called a forum, but I cannot remember where. It takes about 5 seconds tops.
