Mik!! We want a Janty e-pipe!!!!

[Jason_in_nc]

Yeah, the LED is not important to me for two reasons.
1) I hate if I'm trying to be descrete and the thing starts blinking because it's low on charge. So much for appearing to smoke the real thing. (I call it the blinking light of shame... heh)
2) As soon as a cigar has some ash built up, unless it's really dark, you don't see much of a glow. Certainly not as bright as any LED is going to produce. So even without an LED on the end, an Ego cigar would appear to be very realistic, without the "risk" of a blinking LED produced by a low battery.
3) I'm also making suggestions that I think would require the least amount of effort on the party of Janty. The non-LED ego's are by far the most widely produced model. They could just take items already in the production plan and with just a couple of changes in finish, produce a cigar. Change the rubberized coating to a more cigar color, and just don't chrome plate the metal used in the band and the end cap. Done. Minimal cost on their part, potentially even less cost. Since they produce the non end-LED verions in greater numbers, they should cost less to produce and therefore be easier to test this market with.

The end of the cigar in your image is actually less realistic IMO. A cigar only looks like that when it's first lit. To really have the look of a cigar being smoked, there needs to be a little bit of an ash cap. There could still be an LED, but it would need to be only faintly visible through the ash.

I like my auto ego quite a bit. However it seems to burn too long after I stop taking a drag. I find it works best with carto's. Since it is an auto, you do have to worry about flooding the switch so I don't drip with it at all. I haven't noticed a cut off yet.

I don't know how it could be made but I'd like an e-pipe with the attie near the top of the bowl which could be flipped up to reveal a large donut shaped e-liquid tank/reservoir. That way there would be some realistic 'smoke' filtering out the top of the pipe when you take a drag.

If you use a CE2 cartomizer approach to the design the reservoir would have an air tube running through it and up the stem to the mouthpiece.

Using a 'raidy' style atomizer/mesh wick style setup you could have the mesh wicks protruding from the reservoir a little with a replaceable atomizer/wick that rests on top of the mesh wicks when the attie is in the closed position. When traveling some form of insert placed between the flip-down attie and the wicks could be clipped into place to stop leaking.

The battery(s) could be placed where the current crop of e-pipes put their cartridge and atomizer and neck of the pipe.

It would mean the join between the mouthpiece/atomizer and the pipe would be moved up closer to the mouth, and still utilize the recharger type fitting found on the G500(I think).

It would also allow a passthrough to be attached as well.

If I could draw any good I would do a diagram to show what I mean but I have recently had hand surgery, and I have no talent

i think this thread died... one reply in a whole month. And even before that it became an "ego that looks like a cigar" thread. i think thats where ecigs are going anyway, eGo's and high voltage tube mods.

I originally thought I was going to vape primarily with an e-pipe and a "real" e-cigar (cuban style fat stogie, and not a whistle tip like a black and mild). Now I've got an eGo with cartomizers, and the only other kit i would want is a silver bullet or something similar.

 

[Dane]

I am only vaping on e-pipes. For now I have 4 pcs. DSE601 and 1 Greentech G500. G500 is the one I use. The dse's are only or backup.

I am waiting for the Janty pipe; but also Ruyan and oksmokey will in near future release new e-pipes. I think the first one will be oksmokey. They have said, they will release one within a month. It will be a pipe with exchangeable atomizer.

 

[Mik_Janty]

This thread has not died, Janty is still alive, we are just busy working.

I think many of you have to realize that our previous way of doing things have to be changed: We can no longer be open about our projects due to the many copycats - and this unfortunately means that we must keep things under wraps.

I wish i could tell you guys more, and show you the design (its beautiful!) but.. sorry i cant. And no, i cant comment on when it will be released either, but it is coming.

Have a merry xmas guys!

 

[Ludo]

not only beautiful Mik, I think it's going to be a milestone in our development and design ;-)

now, back to work!

 

[arjay55]

Good to know you guys are still making an e-pipe. I hope it is as good as you say. I'll start putting some money away for it now

Dane, the G500 seems a bit large for what I want at this time. I really want something I can use with CE2 cartomizers as I have about 90 of them still lol. I believe the Mini-pipe can be adapted to take a carto so maybe that is the way for me to go until the Janty Pipe arrives. I'll keep an eye out for the others you mentioned.

 

[Dane]

arjay55, you're right, a bit clumsy; but the best right now. If I were you, I also would wait for the Janty, as we know their superb quality from all the other Janty products.

 

[Ludo]

Dane, I was wondering about your avatar.. is that a real pic of Obama with a cigarette or is it photoshopped?

 

[Dane]

I don't know. Found it on the Internet, and think it's cool. I love Obama, like most danish people do.

 

[Jason_in_nc]

It's real. He was and is still a smoker. He just keeps it on the down-low.

 

[Leonardo]

I am also wanting an e-pipe....

I think it may even be as far as I NEED an e-pipe....


Please let me know as much as poss as soon as poss please..... Is it replaceable atty?

Refillable carts?

Looks like a wood pipe?

TELL ME!

Please

 

[arjay55]

The Janty e-pipe looks like it still is a go-er according to an English site I read. Sometime early 2011, along with some other freakishly good new ideas. Can't wait.

 

[Jason_in_nc]

Where'd you see this information?

 

[franklyspeaking]

I don't know where he read it but I read the same info in this thread. Ludo's post (#173) can be found here:

[arjay55]

Where'd you see this information?

Sorry to take so long but I haven't been able to track down the actual quote. I was searching through many many sites that night (English, German, Italian, Korea) looking for any info on the new eGo-T system where I came upon it. I'm sure it was an English site but which one escapes me.

I thought teamed up with something like the "protpype" it may be the answer til the Janty Pipe appears. A little expensive though for a stop gap measure.

 

[dspin]

I'm all over a Janty E-pipe. I need one

 

[franklyspeaking]

So... Mik it is officially 2011 tomorrow. Is Janty planning any exciting releases for January? like maybe a pipe

[franklyspeaking]

I guess not...

With the Chinese New Year I'd doubt any substantial releases of new products until well after.

 

[Ludo]

It's very teasing to answer in this thread but I can't... for now.
