northern calif.
So far, jantystck has been the best for me. I have DSE701 cigars,which I really like and a 510 automatic, which is just o.k. and I rarely use. I also have the BLU,which I really like and use every day. But for the most part so far I am relying on my janty stick,it has been good for me.Good vape,good battery life,all around reliable.

My JS experience:
- Had some issues with payment (paid too much) but it was fixed (got some extra juice)
- Performs superb! Using Beci's atty at the moment.
- Few thoughts though:
1. Any juice vapes super in the morning (just after you wake up take few drags)
2. Comparing to my 6v mod I do not feel the nic strength... It is all mild, even 36mg
which would make me choke on 6v but feels the same on JS to 24/18 mg. You only
feel the nic once it absorbs
3. Cannot really get throat hit with anything but menthol - have to add it to every juice
4. Polar mint from Janty - after menthol, too weak. Not a lot of vapor and not "minty"
enough for me, thus no throat hit

I also found, that if vapor production drops, just take out the card, put just a mouth
piece and vape on the juice until you get a bit of burnt taste - too much juice in the
atty.

Thats my 2c

And, forgot to mention some improvements I wanted to see =)
AA size batt (14500 I think) would be great! It would not add much to the size, but
would last so much longer =) Or, make the case bulging on one side to fit cr123a battery - it will make it a bit fatter on one side, but same length. And yeah, better paint job (or just different plastic color), maybe metal (aluminum casing) would make it the best =)

Has anyone tried the AW 10440 batteries? I haven't seen anyone mention them in the forums.

I've read at another forum that their capacity is closer to 340mAh. Searching Google will bring you to the site that sells them ($4.99 a piece). Here's the quote from that forum:

In high drain applications (near 2C), AW 10440 cells provide significantly more runtime before dropping appreciably in output voltage compared to Ultrafire cells. Here are specific results I obtained with each battery using my Arcmania Extreme III.

I have tested both cells in my Extreme III (like the LF2X but with a Rebel 100), and the AW cells do fare better than Ultrafires: they maintain high mode (100% output) down to 3.70-3.74V open circuit compared to 3.9V for the Ultrafires. This translates to a runtime of 12:46 at 100% before the flashlight first gives a low voltage warning. This cell began at 4.18V and was discharged in twelve - 1 minute intervals and one - 46 second interval. The light will continue running at 100%, but begins giving regular warnings, so realistically it would probably be better to switch to a lower level that doesn't pull the cell voltage down as much. The Ultrafire cells only gave about 7 minutes on high for comparison.

Though, the person's talking about their use in flashlights... haha. How much bigger are the 14500's? AW has some protected ones at 3.7v 750mAh (same site).

The USB has to be in just right to connect. As soon as I pick it up the red light goes off and I have to put pressure on it a certain way to get USB power.

Same USB problem with mine. I was able to find the right connector position by pushing it down but now button stop working too. Going to send JS back for replacement.

somewhere out there......
No matter which battery I use I still get the red flashing light. It will not produce any vapor. I only had it for 2-3 weeks....It was working perfectly until the other day. I dont know why its doing this. I tried cleaning it and letting it dry out over night. The USB works perfectly and charges my battery fine. I just dont know whats wrong with it. I'm going to trade it in for something else....I hope. either a 801....or a janty dura C....

I've had my JantyStick for about a month now, and the only real issue I've had is the paint is wearing off at the bottom of the stick. In the grand scheme of things, pretty much a non-issue for me. No leaking, shorting out, or buttons falling off.

Now, I did have an atomizer break off inside the casing . . . twisted the atomizer to remove it, and the bottom stayed in. Yikes! However, it was relatively simply to pop the case open and extract the atomizer bottom, and now my JS is as good as new.

I'm hoping that my good fortune continues. I'm not too concerned, though . . . the limited edition sticks have a one-year warranty. :)

Probably easier and faster (cheaper) to just ask Janty for a replacement. I think they'll be shipping out the V2s tomorrow, which are supposed to be improved in many areas (the switch being one of them).

Hi all,
i'd like to share my experience with the community about this company.
First of all i feel very sad to tell you this but i have to:
1- i ordered a janty stick set (V1) and few other accessories (i spent €125,65 EUR) through the janty europe shop on june 18th.
2- on june 19th i received a dispatch email saying that my order was shipped through TNT post (2-5 working days delivery within europe)
3- 10 days later i had not received my purchase so i wrote to all possible janty email addresses (paypal one included) asking if the stick was sent or not and if they could provide for a tracking number. I wasn't worried at the time, i thought sometimes delays happen, anyway i had NO REPLY.
4- sent another email few days later. NO REPLY.
5- after two weeks from their dispatch email without any feedback from them i decided to start a Paypal controversy for Item not received and no communication from the seller, this was july 3th.
6- Today is July 6th (17 days are past now), still NO REPLY from the company, they didn't even reply to the open Paypal Controversy!!!

Now i wonder if the european company is still in business or not.
If yes i'm wondering what kind of customer support they have, they actually don't have one.
I only hope to get my money back at some point.

Mat

Yup, it can be opened. Here's how Ludo described it to me in an email:

feel free to open the stick body by clicking it open (upper grey body part and black part underneath can click open if you do it carefully using your fingernails – a bit in the front part (ato mouthpiece side), then a bit at then end (Led side), then again a bit in the front part, then the end part again, you will see slowly it will open until it clicks open)

You must be sure to put the nuclear material back in it's proper spot when you reassemble the unit or:

Ok, got some black M201's in from Shawn today. As usual, insanely fast shipping. I can verify the painted fit the Janty Stick just fine. I've been swapping between two for a few hours now.

Observations:

* As for performance, I might need to break it in a little, but I'm not seeing some radical night and day difference between the M201 and the be112's. In fact, I'd say performance is about identical. Flavor might be *slightly* better, but that could be my imagination.

* I'm not a "dripper". I think it's silly to do so when you can use a huge-... cart with the 801, and I'm almost exclusively using 801 style devices now. This has to be the ultimate dripper's atty. First of all, if you look down inside the thing, almost the entire bottom is the mesh wick. You simply can't miss the wick when dripping. Second, I'm getting 5 drops into it without gurgling. The hits are fantastic and consistent, huge and flavorful.

* Even without a cart, the draw is very very 510-like.

* Another neat little thing I've noticed, is that when you *just* start to get that hint of nasty taste that tells you to redrip, if you change juice the old flavor doesn't linger long. Exactly the opposite of what I expected.

I'm still more partial to the be112, and honestly that probably has something to do with ordering 30 of them. Give me some time with these five and I'll report back after a week or so when any subconcious bias is gone.
