I have Npro and have purchased peewee accesories and use them together. Now I use the usb pass through. Both my wife and I like it. I have purchased atomizers from one of the npro distributers. I did not need them but just wanted them, seen too many threads about atomizers that die. Currently I have used both njoy and peewee atomizers and cannot tell the difference. I have about 2 weeks of near constant use and have not experienced any problems. I drip it alot as well. It does well with wicking liquid into the atomizer and uses up all the liquid in between topping it off.

The only drawback is small carts, but I suspect this is the case for most super mini ecigs.

I do plan on using the warranty if necessary, that was the primary reason for my njoy purchase. I purchased 2 kits from Costco.com.

At this point I would like to look into a ecig with longer cart life, so I don't have to topoff so much.

My wife likes the npro and will likely stay with it for now.

I've been using the Npro for a while now (3 months) and the atomizer is still going strong, thankfully i learned about dripping from this forum because it does vastly improve the hit. mind you i do not use it heavily at all, super casual with it and i wasnt a huge analog smoker prior to purchasing. The battery is still great too. next purchase will probably be the dura-c and i have a pilot on its way.
 
am new to vaping and have had my NPro since ....yesterday I also got a penstyle from Njoy - I like both so far but prefer the penstyle (but I was smoking 120s so am just used to holding a longer smoke than the mini)BUT cartridges of their tobacco flavor taste like stale beer to me lol.....I am tolerating them until my order from JantyUSA comes end of the week have 5 different flavors coming and I can't wait!!!! If not for the taste I would be only vaping but I gotta still have my smoke cause I gotta kill the cartidge taste LOL....I have cut my smoking in half already though and today was first day NOT using my inhaler !! YEAH !!! and already coughing is down to practically nothing -- I am impressed !! I plan to get a pen style from puresmoker when he gets settled but so far am liking my Njoy - we will see how it lasts me later.......for now I am happy with vapor output...(I started with NJOY cause I can buy it locally and figure in a pinch when/if I ran out and couldn't wait for mail I had one to turn to)

The NPro was my first purchase, as well. I originally purchased it in white to get the whole 'fake' cigarette look. It definitely helped my conversion to only vaping.

The NPro has been rock solid, I received it on January 12 2009, and haven't touched an analog since. As has been stated, the cartridge is seriously too small for anyone that had a pack a day habit. I switched from topping off the carts to dripping directly into the atomizer.

Even when direct dripping into the atomizer, the NPro has been solid. I had a battery that wouldn't hold a charge, but NJOY replaced that without any hassle.

Also, as said earlier in the thread, the NJOY prices for carts are very high. I purchased some replacement carts from Steve at PureSmoker, since all the PeeWee parts are interchangeable.

I also purchased an extra battery, and 3 more atomizers from him.

The NPro is still running solid on the original atomizer, and with 3 batteries instead of 2, I get all day out of the thing.

I recently purchased a Janty Dura because the carts were much larger and I was hoping to be able to avoid direct dripping (hard to drip while driving).....

I have been using the Dura exclusively for the last few weeks to try to give it a fair try, and while it produces great vapor, the Npro is just a workhorse. I've overdripped to the point of hearing the 'gurgle' in the atomizer.... taken the mouth piece off... 'whip it' a bit, and then vape again, and the atomizer is still going strong.

I've had to have 3 atomizers replaced on the Dura already, and I've not direct dripped a single time with them.

Also, in the 2 months that I've had the NPro, there hasn't been any maintenance.

Although, I would suspect typical atomizer cleaning / maintenance is required.

Atomizers are not for sale on the NJOY website, in order to get one from them, I had to call their customer service number. They run ~$20 USD.

(I stocked up on atomizers after reading the forums here, just in case)
 
The NPro was my first and only purchase thus far. I got it two weeks ago and I'm fairly happy with it. As everyone has said, the two drawbacks are the cartridge size and how hard you have to draw. I would also agree that battery performance is good.

I would also like to add that the Totally Wicked Super E atomizer is compatible.

Been going through this thread and it seems to me that have the NPro. I got it from Smoking Everywhere for about $100. This is my second day and still getting use to it. Every once and a while i can pull a decent drag but it is not consistent, usually have to prime it. I am really new to e-cigs and have smoked pack-a-day for about 15 years. Really wish i found this forum before purchasing mine. Is it true that if you refill your own carts that you get better vapor?

i find that juices vary in vapour production but nearly all do seem to give better vapour than standard carts.

plus you will save a small fortune by refilling with juice!

I'm starting to wonder, seriously. When I first got my penstyle and carts from NJOY, they vaped real well. I have been refilling my carts and it seems there it is only vapes real well at a certain nicotine level in the cart. It could be the juice? Dun no. I'd just like to get a good vape all the time.

I'm glad you mentioned "small" in the fortune.

My first e-cig was an NPRO also. I had terrible problems with battery life right out of the box, and one of my batteries didn't even work. I had to contact NPRO which promptly sent replacements within 2 business days, which was cool. Even after that the batteries only really lasted around 2 hours a piece. The carts from NJOY are a terrible rip off... and I'm glad I found the totally wicked site, (and this forum for that matter) or I would have been paying up the ... for carts from NJOY and not know any better.

I kept getting ...... off my batteries would run out, so I went to my local smokeshop to see if they carried anything e-cig related. Sure enough they had a similar model (I think it was the actual model, RN4080 just not the NPRO name) I used those untill the atomizers died. Luckily the next day my DSE 901 from totally wicked came in the mail. I've heard from many people that TW does not sell real DSE 901's ... and maybe that would make sense because the supposed 901 I got was absolutely terrible. Thin, wispy vapor, 2hr battery time, terrible cart life, and leaky carts. It wasn't untill I started dripping onto the atomizer that I got enen a half-way decent hit.

Anyway, I'm waiting for the TECC 510 Titan from Joytech to come in the mail... anyday now from Totally Wicked's UK site. Hopefully that one will prove worthy. I went ahead and ordered a few atomizers for the RN4080 just because they're cheap, and good for back-up since I have the batteries, chargers and thousands of empty carts to fill.

I own 4 units(3 npro's and 1 n-=cig-penstyle) out of those eight batteries 4 HAVE FAILED, both units vape great, although the npro carts dont last long. I emailed NJOY on my penstyle-but no reply in 4 days. The NCIG pen is my fav, but only lasted a week or so, now its dead. I really miss it.

Bottom Line, expensive, unreliable

Well not really.. when you add up all the replacements you get under the warranty it eventually would have cost you nothing but the shipping. :D

Well, I selected NJOY AND PAID TWICE WHAT THE UNITS ARE WORTH, because I did not want the hassle of constant exchanges failures etc.. I wrongly assumed that a "premier" brand would lend itself to better reliability. From my experience, the extra money paid goes into their pockets , not into better QC, yes I realize I could spend MORE money for shipping and get replacements. Next time I'll buy a cheap unit with 4 extra atomizers and 5 extra batteries and avoid the hassle at the same cost.

Thanks for the feedback

Igetcha, it was your review that pushed me to the Npro, you were happy with it so I figured I would be too. I have been happy with the unit all in all- some odd battery behavior (getting stuck on, etc) but nothing that can't be worked around. All in all the vapor production has been excellent with amazing throat hit. Thank you! :)


I ordered some extra atomizers elsewhere (about $6.00 ea) and will probably stock up on a few extra batteries as well. I also decided to get a generic pen style as well as a Dura-C to test with.

I'm not sure but the PeeWee might be an RN4081 too?

According to polls this seems to be one of the least recommended and most disliked devices around -

(forum noob can't post URL)

(forum noob can't post URL)

Could folk with experience of owning and using this device chip in here and say what you think about it please?

How does it compare with other devices?
How durable is it?
How easy to maintain is it?
Etc.

Thanks very much.


1) IMHO, a HIGH eliquid appears to works as a MEDIUM eliquid. Vapour production is lower than DSE901 or TITAN. The cartridge is too small, storing few amount of eliquid. I've taked off the cartridge and used 2 drops on the atomizer after 40/50 puffs.

The RN4081 NEVER leaks or sometimes tastes like burn like my Titan, for an example

This is my all day vaping e-cig, using it for learning e-smoke and to test flavours and eliquids.


2) almost 3 weeks vaping all day my RN4081. Batteries are fine, vapour production decreased, but it's still great. All e-cigs appear to exhale A LOT of vapour in the first 3 days, and after this, the vapour reach a "constant" production

3) Too easy to maintain. To drain i blow in the back of the atomizer with a paper towel rolled inside the chamber. After this i can use it right away with other e-liquid/flavour of my choice

Other thoughts:
It's an old volkswagen beetle. Reliable, durable, not a muscle car, but do the job.

This unit right now on my mouth is the one that make me a real quit of the analogs. I just love it. Before this one i've just trying other e-cigs and smoking analogs simultaneously.

As a first good e-cig and/or a all day vaping, i recomend the RN4081.

I spoke to customer service a while ago, and there was something wrong with the 480 number. If you have a problem, try

1-888-669-6569

Sharon Brown Extension 106

I also heard a rumor that stating in April, NJOY will be carried in Wallgreens Drug Stores.
