Merged old sticky threads (7)

Someone asked how to tell a V1 from a V2 - There are two ways that I know of -The switch on the V1 makes a clicking sound - The V2 switch does not - The other way is to look down inside the atty hole - If you see a big glob of black sealant - that's a V2 - IF you see no sealant and a little red wire - That's a V1 -

The battery cover is different.

My battery cover looks like it has been recut with a thicker groove. It is probably a fraction of a millimeter shorter than the first one that was there, because I can see it at the bottom of the wider one.

I read your response above with interest. Something is awry, though.

I've made a conscious effort to pause and simulate the double clutch without actually re-pressing the switch. I have alternated the pseudo double clutch with the actual act on a one for one basis since reading your response last night. I'm guess-timating about 100 drags. Each and every time the actual double clutch gives a significantly stronger throat hit. I mean, significant. It is analogous from a Lucky Strike to Marlboro Light kind of difference.

I'm wondering if we are performing it the same way to have such diverse results. As Julie so aptly described it, it is a long, slow, steady pull until the JS reaches the red line (pardon my car racing days expression lol). Then, it's release the button and re-press it for a second or two while never opening the mouth for the inhale until the short "re-hit" is complete. The pseudo double clutch is the same procedure sans re-pressing the button.

I absolutely get a stronger hit with the actual double clutch. The thought here is one of electrical in nature. There is an initial voltage surge to the coil/atty when one presses the button to complete the circuit. As one takes that first slow hit to the red line, he/she is heating up the coil (from cold) to it's near utmost point, thus the built-in safety cut-off of the JS. Hitting the switch momentarily the second time is sending a new voltage surge to an already hot atty which super heats the vapor and gives the stronger throat hit. In essence, what the double clutch does is defeat the overheat safety built into the JS circuitry. In all likelihood it is a potential atty killer. Or, it could be an atty life enhancer/extender by simulating the equivalent of a dry burn-off. Or neither of the above. LOL How's that for a scientific discovery? <g>

Ah well - Whatever works I guess - I'm not missing any hit - It is a pretty subjective thing - I did just try it as just as you suggested - I have in the past - I do see the effect - I just don't see it being that much greater than what I described - I can rarley get to the red line anyway before it starts to feel like I just hit a .... - LOL - That's not really the smoking experience that I am trying to replicate here

It does nothing to simulate the dry burn-off though - It's not dry -

There were differences in that on my first 2 V1's as well - I think they are just different from batch to batch?

Does anyone know how many times you can re-charge a battery before it will no longer re-charge???

All I know that one of my 4 batteries died today after 3 weeks of use, batteries were in rotation mode.

But in my view it's not a big deal considering how much they coast, so I even wont bother Ethan for replacement.

You are a prime candidate for an M201 atomizer. Try one. Love mine.

Same here - Ethan already gave me two extras with one of my switch issue replacements as a form of apology - It costs nearly as much to ship it back as to just buy a couple more when I make a new order for something else - How cool is Ethan? - He ROCKS!

I love Ehtan, he's the best.
I really gotta try an M201 atty on this thing man.
Oh and if anyone wants to read a review on another powerhouse.

My LightVapor Magnum 901, which is what the link above is for, and my Janty Stick are fighting neck and neck right now for which one I use more throughout the day.
Check it out lemme know what ya' think.
I'm still a Janty fan though reguardless

I have had my v2 for 4 days now. I get good vaper but no throat hit at all. I have tried the double clutch, slow draws, heavy draws with no luck at all. I use 18mg nicotine regular tobacco favor. can anyone help.

Alright, are you dripping, or are you refilling carts?
Oh, and how many drips are you putting into the cartirge or on the atomizer?

 

[Ludo]

Too much dripping/take it easy/give it time to kick in/change your inhaling method/... buy a TAWA atomizer to compare?

 

[corvetteken812]

tried dripping three drops, and have trid with the only the cart.

 

[Ludo]

try 6 drops... push correctly, look at the switch light and make sure it is on... depending on how and where you push the switch it might not make contact... takes a while to get used to it... try vaping through the USB cable for sure...

@ Bones

Based on your description of v1 vs v2, I got a v1.

Same here! My switch makes a clicking sound but the only thing I see down inside is a shiny screw and a black wire, no "black blob". So did I pay for a v2 and get a v1?

 

[Ludo]

Normally that should not be possible, V1's are put aside as freebies. V2 bodies are in stock to replace for customers who have V1 issues. check with ethan@jantyusa.com pls.

 

[corvetteken812]

OK, Thanks for the info, will try and let you know later. Thanks

 

[Zestok90]

Perfect advice Ludo.
I love vaping via USB.
I'm doin' it right now, its perfect! Great TH, and vapor everytime.
I drip about 1-2 drops on the atty and then top off my carts.

 

[Bones]

Yup - same here - 2-3 drops - The thing knocks my head off if I red-line it -

On the USB - I'm confused a bit - To me it looks like you are sipping from a glass as it is being filled - If I plug in with a dead battery - It flashes red - I have to let it sit until the battery gets a little charge before it will hit - I was under the impression that it will only give you power that comes from the battery as part of the protection feature and not direct power from the USB - Is this wrong? And if so - Why does a dead battery blink red and not activate the unit when plugged into USB?
