Merged old sticky threads (2)

[Quitter]

It came in the mail today. When I first put it in it didn't work too well. I had to do that Janty Stick thing like you do with the 801 atty's - you know the drill, screw it in, back it off, twist it again etc. Once it was seated correctly it worked okay...I guess.

I have to say that it doesn't put out the vapor quite as much as the same 510 atty on a 510 batt. It's close.. real close though. I measured the resistance of the atty alone (2.9 ohms) and then on the adapter (3.1 ohms). So there is a very slight increase in resistance but it's marginal.

So now to the good part! As many of you know I've been struggling with the 801 atty/cart system on the JS since the day I got it. I've been down every road trying to make those damn 801's work. You name it, I tried it - brass screen, blue foam, ptb, folded ptb, reduced poly, cut cart etc etc etc. Always no wicking or flooding. Came real close with Blue Foam (which works PERFECT in all my 510's).

But now I'm FINALLY at peace with my stick!
(uhm..maybe I could have worded that a bit differently)

Anyway, it's a real pleasure to enjoy my $80 investment for the first time. The 510's work well, I have a standard for all my atty's/carts now and I really like the round mouthpiece.

Thanks Janty!! Glad you finally made it so the JS works!!!

Did you measure the resistance of the adapter itself? Seems like it's pretty low if it only added .2 ohms. I don't think any of my 510 atty's have an original resistance as high as 2.9.

Glad to hear you're happy with it though.

PS on Edit; yah, just checked all my 510 atties and they all are about 2.2 ohms. I'll have to do the math and see what 3.1 does to the voltage/heat on a 510. My wife found a straight through adapter for an 801 to a 510 that passes straight through without an added resistor and the performance is stellar- best unit, best vapor of any kind we have in the house. It made me want to cut back the nicotine level of the fluid.

I'm hoping your multimeter is reading high.

The stick with the straight through also worked much better than the new long 510 batts. Dunno why, but now everyone want her unit. We have a couple of 18650 based ecigs on the way so we'll see how that compares too. All in all though, I'd rather have the form factor on the janty stick (well, actually a little bigger with a 14500 batt, which is somewhere around where the baby J is going, I think)

Hope so! Mine's starting to ge a little flakey. Still under warranty but it would be nice to know it can be replaced after warranty. Have you asked Janty directly yet?

No i was hoping this would get a response

What adapter did your wife find? Was it this unit that altsmoke has?

AltSmoke | Personal Vaporizer 801 Battery Adapter - Adapters - PV Parts

The only intrepidation I had about that unit was that it buries the 510 atty deep in the JS. We all know how hot 510 atty's run and I was concerned about heat dissapation so I decided to hold off for the Janty unit. Of course, the Janty adapter places the atty in the stick body too but only 1/2 way.

I did measure the resistance of the adapter itself and it came out to like .2 ohms. Probably losses through the wire connecting the two connectors. Really shouldn't be enough to have an effect on performance.

As I've been using it with the JS this afternoon I'll say it's working pretty well. Getting good vapor simlar to what I get with fresh batts.

It just really nice to have a Janty Stick that works for a change! Like I said before, it's a real benefit to have standardized on the 510 atty's/carts in all my gear. I'm not a big fan of having to keep a supply of different parts. I can stock up on 510 atty's and know it covers all my rigs.

I know some people love the 810 but it was nothing but a headache for me. Glad this worked out!

Quitter, Do you know if you received the new, working 510 adapter for the JS? I got one a month or so back and it didnt work very well at all, an almost dead 510 battery put out more vapor? Im still waiting for a replacement, did you order yours a few days back or is this a replacement?

 

[Quitter]

Mine is a new order. I had put my name in thier site to be notified when the product was re-released and got an e mail on Saturday. I ordered it right then so I would assume it's the new unit. I heard that all the ones delivered back then were bad. I would hope that Janty was putting you guys at the top of the list for replacement!

Yep, opened a ticket and got back a message (quick too) that my two adapters would be sent. Pretty good customer service there.

 

[esz]

Why would the adapter have any resistance!!?? That's crazy. The only job it should have is delivering the batt voltage to the 510 atty from the 801 connection inside. It should have zero in-line resistance.

I'll be really disappointed if the unit doesn't make the 510 work like normal. All I want is for the JS to be a battery and usb mod for a 510 - just like it is now for an 801. Has anyone put an ohm meter on the new unit?

Can anyone from Janty comment on this? Mik? Ethan?

i think It should have zero in-line resistance in both batch of adapter but that's not.why? i'm waiting for any comment from janty and all to solve this. i'm not surprise if other adapter is full performance 510atty than janty adapter.because they're not have adding resistance inside they're just simply material to turn with a lathe enough.

i bought the 1st set that came out ( piece of craps ) twittle thumbs waiting at the mailbox.

good news i was able to order up 6x atomizers for the js stick monday night,

all in all good guys to deal with

 

[youngunner]

the 5 for 34- are you talking about Totally Wicked? I bought a 5 pack and they are pretty good- not as good as janty- but alot less money too. I read about people getting 1-3 DOA with them- but I test all of mine on the trusty ol' multi-meter and ther are all around 3.5 ohm which is perfect- however Ive only have one in current use, the other are waiting for their time

Amen to that; no one beats their customer service.

I agree, TW attys are a good buy for the price.

 

[lowwkeyy]

I got one from the bad batch, ive been waiting for a replacement for some time now, Im a little ...... that i have not recieved my replacement yet but the new orders are rolling out the door.

 

[esz]

update today one of my group test remove resistor out and result test is good than 2nd batch adaptor more, it's equivalent or more a bit 510 passtough.
why's not have anyone from janty answer for this why have Resistance adding for what?

Is it difficult to remove the resistor? I bet it would be better all in all. How did you do it?

[gjrhine]

The Classic Atomizer fits the Janty Stick right? It costs $16.95?

 

[doots]

yeah. pretty high isnt it?

 

[1inchgroup]

It's got a 6 month warranty though...which would make you think they last longer than the cheapies. Funny thing is, all my cheapies still work, but the Janty one is dead dead dead. Bought some Joye 302 atties from myvaporstore.com for about 9.25 ea. and haven't had a single problem with them. Low bridge, etc etc.

Mine hasn't arrived yet either, but I hope it will in the next couple of days. I opend a ticket at the Janty site early this last week on it and Ethan said it's in the mail. If you haven't opened a ticket, maybe you should.

Gee it's been really kinda dead in here lately, hasn't it? Way quiet.

I've got a problem with my Stick... I'm getting a plastic taste... I've cleaned the atty, replaced the batting again (and have less than normal in it and made sure that there are no strays lose to touch the atty, and have the batting in the cart so deep in the mouth-piece area that there is no way it's near the atty).. Yet, all I taste is burnt plastic... Any ideas on what I should do next???

Thankys for any suggestions...
