You`re probably all bored by the various janty stick reviews floating around the forum but anywho here`s my thoughts:-
Having pre-ordered the limited edition stick from Jantyshop.com I was intially upset with the lack of engraving and wooden presentation box but when my package arrived all I can say is THANKYOU JANTY!
They made up the order with an extra atomiser, 2 extra batteries and a load of juice of various flavours also with 20 euro credit to spend online, can`t say fairer than that. Along with the promised additional carry case,charger, usb etc.
Having read numerous posts on ECF I`ve been treating my stick with kid gloves, as reports of flaking paint and inconsistent switch performance have been a worry.
Having used the stick exclusively for a couple of weeks now,verging on heavy vaping I can say that these worries are not unjustified.
The paint is starting to flake on the edges, (not a big issue for me) and the sticky backed plastic covered the switch is starting to peel away even though this is covered in the 1 year warranty on the body (v1) I wont be sending it back as it can be cured with a dab of glue or a covering with clear packing tape over the switch.
Also dilligence is needed with general maintenance such as blowing through the atomiser on occasion and/or leaving to drain overnight as the main reason I purchased the stick (with manual button) was the fact I could drip without the fear of leaks. Again because of various reports I am reluctant to drip directly to the atomiser instead opting to fill carts for fear of juice leaking through the LED. Though apparently this has been fixed on the V2 body available soon.
If you`ve read this far don`t let my previous thoughts put you off:-
On to the positives.
Firstly the form factor is the best i`ve seen in current vaping devices , excluding some of the awesome mods I`ve seen.
Vapour is monstrous once the atty is broken in if and you swap out the standard batteries you get with the stick.
I`ve been using the ultra fire TR10440`s 3.6v rated at 600mha (far better than the 360mha that are provided).
Throat hit is not overwhelming but sufficient this could depend on juice as I`ve found with Janty juice flavour is great ,but vapour is a bit wimpy. However with TW or ecopure (VG) juice thats been lying around I`m literally puffing huge clouds!!!
Normally I`m sat infront of the pc with a 901 with a passthrough so battery life is not an issue, even though the stick has a USB function with the ability to vape and charge the battery at the same time, I really haven`t tried this out yet.....the battery life is that good. Added to that the case provided can hold two batteries aswell as one in the stick so it`s lasted me a whole night out (bearing in mind we started very early on the beer!!!)
The only other niggling fault I can find is that swaping out for a fresh battery can be a bit of an issue if you have fat fingers and decide to leave the
atomiser in place, although the battery cover has a good thread with a deep cross head ,space becomes and issue. But if you`re not lazy like me and remove the atomiser first then it shouldn`t be a problem.
In summary the Stick (so far) has been the most reliable, satisfying, best looking , best battery life of any device I`ve owned. And no, I`m not a Janty
Fanboy!!!!
