so whats the problem with the protection inside the device ?
just pull of one of these protected battys, sometimes you may be shocked what this protection circuit really is.

If the button does accidentally get depressed for any length of time, it will overdischarge the unprotected battery. When you go to put that same overdischarged, unprotected battery into a charger, it can (not will) cause a short inside the battery and a resulting explosion. Hopefully their 11 second cut off they put in place takes care of this.
to turn 'off' a janty stick I imagine you could use the same method as any e-cig currently available. Give the atomizer one complete twist and it will no longer make the required contacts to heat the atomizer yet still hold the atomizer.
The stick also comes with a case that likely makes it virtually impossible to press the button while it is inside the case.
If you insist on searching hard enough you will always be able to find a potential hazard in anything.
Going to church is dangerous because you might have to cross a street and you could potentially get run over. People get hit by cars far more frequently than batteries cause injury.
Going to a restaurant is dangerous because you could get food poisoning which again is something that is far more common than batteries that cause injury.
You could literally live in a single unfurnished room and never leave that room and never eat or drink anything besides bread and water and you STILL would not be insulated from the myriad 'risks' we take every day.
Living in fear is not living.

lucky...... the battery is protected from the pcb just like your cell phone it can't be over discharged in their device just like your your cell phone or if you have a rn4075If the button does accidentally get depressed for any length of time, it will overdischarge the unprotected battery.

Dumwaldo it's not a matter of generalizing and telling someone with valid questions and concerns that they live their life in fear. lol I just feel that these companies should take all the best safety precautions into consideration that are available to be making better and better products. Using unprotected batteries to make a brand new adorable model is foolish in my opinion when they could have used a different model of battery with a higher mAh that was protected, which could have been a win/win - protected batteries and higher mAh. It's sorta a no brainer. It's like taking 2 steps forward to take one step back in my opinion.
But I don't mess with my cell phone battery and instructions also say not to be touching it.
Lucky all due respect... you don't seem to understand that THE PROTECTION YOU ARE LOOKING FOR is in the circuitry, you can either buy a battery with it built in or spend more money by using a circuit board with it built in. There is absolutely no difference between the two other than janty spent more money to design a circuit board with the protection so you don't have to purchase a more expensive battery.
Lets get some perspective here, only manual ecigs with a sealed battery compartment like the Dura, KBC and JantyStick avoid the risk of inhaling toxic fumes from a lithium battery, thats something that makes the Stick far safer than many ecigs on the market. Its a mistake to focus on one highly unlikely scenario when looking at the safety of a device, look at the whole package, the Stick is about as safe as you can get IMHO and far safer than the traditionaly most popular models such as the 901.
How many models have a safety switch? As others have said, disengage the atomizer to kill it completely if you are that concerned. The idea of a power switch is a good one, but not a show stopper by any means.

Well explained Fenez,
I hope Lucky understands and gets to make a well informed decision. I Would hate to see her pass on what may be a really good product because of a misconsecption about the safety.
Lucky's concern has validity regarding charging the battery. I got my SD last week and then was browsing trog's forum. Imagine my surprise when one of the first posts I read was:
One of my "SpiderFire" batteries blew up tonight while sitting in the charger! What a mess! I had two charging at once but only one blew. The other one stayed intact but it's purple covering was totally stripped off. Both batteries were blown about 2 feet from the wall. However...the contents/pieces were scattered about the room.
What could possibly cause it to blow up like that? I'm glad no one in my family was close to it!!!
Si Si Senor - I will make sure when I charge any of these batteries I put some kind of protective covering over the charger or over the whole shabang. I think I'll also charge them via surge protector in the wall outlet on the front porch.
Now I just have to figure what kind of covering would be good. Any ideas?

I'd go for a metal bucket upside down. Simple, cheap, and should do the trick.
You should look around whether SD has any kind of protection against overdischarging - it seems that's the main cause of batteries blowing up.

The delivery date on the stick was May 26th when they were pre-order. Now it is June 4th. Is this date for current orders or for the pre-orders as well? Ok, so what? I'm an impatient little kid waiting for his new toy.

The date listed on the website is the anticipated shipping date for orders placed at that moment.
Please, people, try to read some posts first...
It's been said a couple times already...
The pre-ordered Sticks are being sent today.
The Limited Edition are being engraved - delivery date unknown.
The delivery date on Janty site applies to current orders (meaning: if you order now).
Ludo gives us updates on that, just bother to look for them.

Thank you for the reply.
Sorry arv, but I did look briefly. Lately my productivity has taken a sharp decline due to the time spent on this forum. I'm trying to limit my time spent daily on this forum, as well as limiting my daily nicotine intake.
Thank you both for the quick replies.
No worries, this forum moves very quickly as of late and is becoming increasingly difficult to find info. It's not the first time a question has been asked repeatedly and it won't be the last.
