Stuff happens. When Janty tells us we will find out. I can wait. I wanted to get a new PV but lost my job and have no money. I can wait for what the Cameo is because I might have a job by then and be able to get it or the stick or whoevers I choose. S@#$ happens in the world. Janty wants the Cameo right not wrong.

Ive found just the opposite, dont know what the variable is. I think the high bridge attys are doing the same thing as dripping, as the atomizer pushes deep into the cart and in effect squeezing juice into the atomizer. I get more vapor and taste from the low bridge atomizer from Janty. Im using high bridge atomizers now as my Janty atty died the other day and I dont like the high bridge as much, but I wasnt opposed to occasional dripping either.

It does seem like it takes the low bridge atomizers a bit longer to pull the juice from the cart, so I would drip 3 drops on the atomizer and by the time I vaped through that, the carts juice would start getting utilized. Ive found I cant use PTB in these high bridge either, as the bridge pushes into the cart so deep sometimes the PTB will stick to the atty and the ptb will stay on the atty when you pull the cart off, making a huge mess.

I agree with you Nepenthy, I, too, prefer to use the low bridge attys w/the PTBs. I use my high bridge attys exclusively for dripping. Couldn't figure out for the longest time what the issue was. When I finally figured it out, I tried cutting the PTB down, but it still didn't work. So I bought some low bridge attys and low and behold, I was in vaping heaven! :D

Same for me only I was using the original cart stuffing and by the time I cut down enough for the cart to fit into the atty, I was dripping to top off like, well, direct dripping :)

I would suggest (and think is also proper business) all contestants posting prior to notification of delayed reveal some kind of compensation the ones after notified delay are SOL

The compensation need not be big i.e. an atty or two, juice, discount on a future order etc

i can see how some feel like their "dream" was destroyed (just making a point a bit exagerated)

You mean to give "freebies" to all who posted just because a picture wasn't posted in time?

If so, I have to suggest that's nothing less than absurd.

So I need a little help from you guys. I just got my JS V2 and it dosen't wick hardly at all! The stock atomizer and carts I'm told are standard 801 issue. I've been a 510 user since I started and have PTB modded all my carts. I'm extremely pleased with how ell they work! SO I tried just filling the stock JS carts and found that it runs about 5 - 10 hits and it tastes burnt (like an empty cart). I pull out the cart and it still has tons of juice on the bottom of the fiber. The top is bone dry.

So I tried a PTB mod and it was a disaster! The carts are so much Bigger than the 510's and there was lots of air gaps - even though I used the whole PTB. I wound up with more juice in my mouth than on the atty!!

I read the post earlier in this thread about wicking issues with the stock JS atty so I ordered a few 801 atty's from RMV. Are these going to be the "high bridge" units you're talking about? It's my hope that I can figure out the best way to use this new JS. Right now I'm really disappointed and have been using my 510 until I can figure it out. It sems like there's alot of satisfied Janty Stick users so I'm hoping you guys can help me make this unit usable!!

Any and all help would be appreciated!!

So bad news. Hubs 1st stick wouldnt turn off, they sent a replacement, now it only turns on if he has something metal to touch to the batterie screw thing. Its going back, this sucks.


Can't find the thread right now but..... someone said their stick wouldn't work with the battery screw top tightened down too tight. As soon as they backed it off a bit, it worked fine.

quitter, I actually find the "low bridge" atty wicks better.
I fill my carts from the bottom, never top off. I think the air space between the 2 liquids inhibits wicking.
If the atty gets flooded it won't produce much vapor and will not wick.
Never twist the mouthpiece on the atty, push it straight on.
Use a fully charged battery.
If I follow these things, the stick will suck the cart dry

Facts?

Lets do facts.

3) The only "metal housing" references ive made has been to show people that when you develop something thats NOT in metal, you need more machinery, you need a prototype mould, a master mould, a factory, and so on. You need _alot_ more to make a plastic product, than you will ever need to make a metal product.

4) when we make plastic products, we make them so we decide _everything_ about them. Every corner, every rounding, everything; And it allows us to integrate our components. Yes. Components - the very thing that the products YOU mention, lack.

You seem to infer that somehow the plastic parts are harder to make then any metal part. I am going to assume you are comparing the steel tube design to the janty base off the sentence "... than you will ever need to make a metal product.". In this case that would be true. But you could easily design the entire thing from metal and/or plastic. You would need pretty much the exact same equipment. You could technically make molds and then cast the metal parts, or just machine them individually. I assume Janty either uses or contracts a company that uses something similar to this or this. I guess it is possible to use a table top CNC 3 axis mill to make the prototype molds. Anyway...

Again I believe this debate was in comparison between the 'steel tube' mods and your manufactured device. By looking at the Janty manufacturing video it is apparent they have design and development staff, and not just an assembly line. There is obviously no comparison between a Prodigy and a Janty... A Prodigy is made where as a Janty is researched, designed, prototyped, tested and then manufactured. I look forward to seeing the innovation produced by Janty.

IF that were the case then yes I would consider myself a douche.... but to my understanding there was a contest on guessing the features of the Cameo in order to win a prize

Noone guessed right so winners were picked randomly...what the concern was was that the contestants were told they were not right but the right answer wasn't revealed.

Granted there was logical reason for the delay, it still doesn't eliminate the fact the contestants were left in wonder (mostly the losing ones)

So that is why I made the suggestion, by no means is Janty obligated to compinsate like the mp3 schenario i gave, but it would be a good gesture.

Yes Freebies maybe too much, but at least an offer to all contestants that posted prior to stated delay an oppertunity for first purchase of the cameo maybe even with free shipping or something.... I don't know just something

I didn't make it in time to enter so I GET NOTHING out of this, but I just put myself in the other persons shoes..... Mike has made is descision and it should be respected and is understandable... I just have an above and beyond type mentality thats all.

yes 15 pieces of flare is the requirement but do we really want an employee with just 15 pieces of flare.....;-)

Thank you Janty for having a creative marketing campaign that interacts with your customer base and gives people a chance to offset the expense of our vaping habbit by winning a contest.

While I didn't win anything, I realize that your company doesn't have to give anything away for free and I appreciated the opportunity to have the chance to get something for free. God knows i'm going broke exploring the wonderful world of vapor and I have always enjoyed the professional and gracious nature of my interactions with your staff.

Don't stop having contests, shrug off the negativity, the silent majority apreciates the effort.

You've probably already read this, but it's possible to outrun the cart by puffing too frequently/vigorously. When I do that, I hold the stick vertically (mouthpiece up) for a little bit. Your juice probably plays a part as well. If you're using a VG base, they tend to be thick and won't wick as fast. Also, if it's a new atty, they tend to burn hot for a while, and they do go through the juice quickly until they run in.

Apparantly nobody remembers the "atomizer and battery" devices that janty makes. I actually have a couple of these, and one is metal!!! Amazing!
Even more amazing was the fact that my metal Janty battery (Kissbox Classic) shorted out in my pocket, but wait...Janty doesn't have these issues??? I guess the burn mark on my leg was from some other manufaturer of the "Janty Kissbox Classic"

Now to the point. Janty makes plastic IC vaporizers, but the also make Atomizer + Battery vaporizers.

There was once a thread where many original JS customers where trying to get Ludo to release a metal body for it. This was before the V2 sticks came out.
