Recieved mine today also!! Couldnt try it fast enough to see what it was all about, I could not believe the vape and flavor coming from this little unit!! I have a couple 901's and a vx2 to compare it too but there really is no comparison!! If this is the future of "vaping" I'm in for the long haul!! I am already ordering another one just for backup, this JS is remarkable. Hope everyone is enjoying theirs as much as I am.

I found that the throat hit increased after a few days . . . I think my atomizer just needed a bit of time to really kick in. With my current atomizer (Janty, about 1 week), it kicks like a freakin' mule.

A hint Ludo shared early on . . . I slowly inhale, and when the light starts to turn red, I let go of the button, then quickly depress for another second or two. Holy cow, that is STRONG!!!!

Holy vapes! (nee: holy smokes!)

I think we may have to bump this post every hour on the hour so that it gets maximum exposure. How did this golden tidbit evade me? Heretofore to be known as the "double clutch", this is an absolute gem. It works so well that I wish I had some of that 11mg liquid I gave away because I couldn't get enough throat hit out of it. This could be my ticket for reducing nicotine.

<bowing to Julie and Ludo> Awesome piece of info, guys. Thank you.

Btw -- the double clutch works well with the manual 510 too.

Oh my gosh yes. The double clutch is amazing.
Such a nice TH and beautiful lung full of vapor.
I freaking love my Janty Stick and 510.
Even after like 3 days of having my JS, the atomizer is already starting to kick my .... If I just freshly dripped or topped off, I can hardly even take in all the vapor and TH by the time it gets to the redline.


But... DOUBLE CLUTCH! AMAZING!!! :D

    Well needless to say right now its not even working.
    I but everything together the way I thought?
    The atomizer screwed right in, and the battery was easy to install.
    Put the cartridge in and I puffed about 20 different times adn got nothing at all.
    Not even the slightest bit of smoke.
    After my frusteration I went to take the atomizer out to take a look and see if that was maybe what was wrong, and now I've been trying to get the atomizer out for like a half an hour.
    I'm new to teh Janty Stick, so I;m probably doing something really stupid.
    Anyone got any advice?

    I was having similar issues - Here is my tale - See if this works -
    At first I thought I had it screwed in to - But I did not - There was gunk in the way -

    I just got my V2 stick today - Had 2 V1's that both had switch issues - As far as the leak stopping it looks like they just put some type of sealant material down around the connector - The V2 looks EXACTLY like the V1 except for this - The switch looks exactly the same - Except it has a slightly stiffer feel with no clicking sound like the V1 - So I'll take them at their word that it is different - It doesn't look different though -

    The V2 is NOT a new design - Looks they just put some patches on the V1 to me - The fit of the atty (KBC-304 in my case) Is VERY TIGHT at the connect point - Looking inside I can see that it looks like the sealant has gotten on the threads of the connector and around it's edges - This seems to be what was making it so hard to get screwed on - I had to use pliers to get it to screw on - It was also drawing VERY HARD and 0 to very little vapor - sealant blocking air holes

    When I removed it there was a lot of residual sealant material in the threads - After putting the atty in and out about 6 or 7 times it is getting smother as it digs the excess material out of its way - I still have to use pliers though (and I have pretty strong fingers) - 6 -7 more times and I may be able to do it without pliers - It seems like it will loosen up with time as it forges a path through the sloppy sealing job - The draw is good now as is vapor production -

    They didn't really change anything except possibly the switch - Only time will tell how that holds up- It does feel a little different and as I said it does not click when pressed - But - it looks EXACTLY the same in every other way - Performance so far seems to be identical as well to the V1 (very good imo) - Overall still happy with the Stick - But if this switch fails in 4 days like the first 2 V1's did - My patience will be wearing thin - The guys at Janty are great about replacing them - BUT - How many times will they have to do this before I get one that works properly for more than 4 day? - We shall see - :(

    I get that same thing without pressing the switch again - Just stopping the draw and pausing for a sec before taking the entire mouthfull in in one big inhale I think is the key - The button click just kinda makes you do that without thinking of it in that manner - The atty does not stop when the light turns red - So I don't see how the clicking on and off has anything to do with it - It's just the way you take it in - Cause you naturally do that little pause in your breath as you let go the switch - :)

    I'm like a kid in a candy store now.
    I'm in love haha.
    The JS just gets better and better each day.
    It is now my primary device.

    To my right on a coffee table, I have literally 25 be112 atomizers. Next to each one is a little e-juice bottle with a different flavor. I sharpie the flavor on the side of each atomizer. That's how I e-smoke now. I AM a kid in a candy store. Each morning before work, I pick the 3 atomizers I'm going to swap between all day and their accompanying juice bottles. Friday, it was Hilton, 555, and Coffee. If it wasn't so easy to swap flavors with the Janty Stick, I wouldn't smoke this way.

    LMAO, thats awesome man.
    I'm just about there.
    I got like 7 juice bottles from myfreedom smokes, not to mention the 9 I already have, makes 16 different flavors.
    I need some more atomizers for my JS though. :(

    I give myself a few days with each flavor, make notes, use a pot scrubber to remove the sharpie, soak em in pepsi max, and move on to the next flavor. Right now the standouts are:

    BestEcig 555
    Midwest Vapor Flue Cured
    BestEcig Hilton
    Puresmoker Riskee Yuice
    BestEcig Mild Seven
    Litecig Power Puff
    MyVaporStore Hilton
    Ruyan Hilton
    But my absolute favorite is still my 90/10 mix of Ruyan Hilton/RY4

    My favorite standalone keeps changing day to day, but right now that's the BestEcig 555. Best standalone Hilton to me has been MyVaporStore's, but it's an insanely tight race. My Freedom stuff should get here soon. I have high hopes for it. I also decided to break down and order something other than Riskee Yuice from Puresmoker.

    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>

    Wow, and absolutely terrific explanation of how the double clutch works!
    Kudos +2 mate!
