Royal Smokers Review - CT 401 - Poor product

[Oliver]

Hello all,

I was sent a sample "Royal Smoker" mini e-cigarette, model CT-401, yesterday.

Sadly, it is a poor product - either it is slightly ahead of its time in terms of what currently can be achieved with the technology, or it is just bad quality/design. Having not tried any other mini e-cigs I cannot compare.

To get the unit to activate, you have to puff very hard - and even then it only activates for a second. Only a minimal amount of vapor is delivered, and because you are puffing so hard, un-vaporized nicotine solution enters your mouth!

As you can (hopefully!) see from the above photo, the mini works on the same principle as the pen-like, but with a different design. The cartridge is a single unit encompassing the same solution-holding wadding. It is made of a flexible type plastic which slides over the atomizer allowing the wire-wool "bridge" to come into contact with the solution.

The wadding is shaped with two channels on either side to allow the vapour to pass through the cartridge to a small hole at the end. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to allow enough airflow to fully activate the system.

On a slightly strange note, the unit was sent to me as a commercial sample from RoyalSmokers, but the logo on the atomizer reads "PartySmoker."

I'm afraid this is the first e-cigarette I've had that goes straight into the dustbin.

My first e-cig was a mini version, and I almost wanted to give up on the idea of e-smoking after receiving the product. I am guessing that due to current technology in this area, that size is a factor. My Ruyan which is quite larger than the mini e-cig is much better while the mini e-cig is just that much more convenient to carry around (though I have not touched that product for a couple days now).
I am guessing that in a year or two, people will look at the pen-style e-cigs as that of the "brick" cell-phones compared to their (hopefully) better mini e-cigarettes.

That's exactly the analogy I was think of. I really hope the technology moves forward at a similar pace, and given the amount of people that are taking up e-smoking, I'm sure market forces will drive it forward.

To Mr. Joe the promotor from njoy, Of course! you give bad comments to our Royalsmokers, Instead to thank us for that you can be more gentle as we put the effort to send you a free sample, and before saying in an public place that it goes into the dustbin without to inform us anything you might consider that individual sending by courier can cause some damage. Or maybe I forget to put 500,00 Euro inside as sponsor do !! We have since 6 march send out 120 pieces free samples over all the whole world, only 4 recievers include you has mention some problems, against the one you promote not so bad score I can say. You might have a forum but I'm here present in Shenzhen surround by all the manufactories, I know from each buyer the manufactory , NJOY buy in the same Manufactory as SuperSmokers (Sunny-Farsee), from them you also can find everywhere many bad reviews and comments. Not for nothing SM is looking for and visiting all the manufactories these days. Before I start my own manufactory I also have been buying from all the manufactories in China, not one manufactory was able to give me and my costumers excellent products and good after sell service. To protect my costumers business, instead to be busy all the time with warranty problems I had no choice than starting Cigaretek with a new brand "RoyalSmokers".

RoyalSmokers use imported battery from Japan and Taiwan and we give 2 years real warranty and promise 200 times charge times.. (all the rest use poor battery with a maximum capacity from 30-50 charge times) all this covert with certifications and our support. We also offer 2% free spare parts for warranty matters. Today we produce and send out each day 2800/pc over all the whole world that says much more than whatever you have mention. We have improve the Atomizers, IC, battery and find solution for the leaking problems .. all the previous problems that has been mentioned by our costumers ( but produce by other manufactiers) we give solution are history. The previous versions I also have buy from Smoore that manufactory ( like many other manufactaries ) has destroy the reputation from this revolitionair products and create some doubts arround this novelty healthy trends by the end-users. Just like the car and the cellphone the first models was also not 100 % ok, we also improve our product all the time and give a lot of attention to the suggestions and comments from our costumers. Make some space on your server.. good comments is coming very soon .. for sure in no time Everbody will admit RoyalSmokers = good quality and service. Kind Regards , Martinez RoyalSmokers

Dear Martinez,

I am not a "promoter" from NJoy! I simply write what my experience of the products is - if your product had been good I would have said so and anyone else that has tried your product is free to contradict me.

Your e-cig was very poor, in my estimation, compared with the others I have tried. As far as the courier is concerned - the product arrived in perfect condition with no sign of any damage. It just doesn't give off anywhere near the amount of vapor that the others do - and I get a mouth full of solution which is deeply unpleasant and hasn't happened with any other product I have tried.

I'm sorry you are so cynical about my motives, but let me assure you that no-one has put 500 Euros in any product I have received. I hope you are successful and your next version is an improvement.

All the best,

SJ

Maybe, next time send out 2 samples each. i.e 2 X batteries and 2 X atomizers plus few cartridges.
Maybe the one you sent out really got some problems..

Cause this version looks like, almost identical to a few minis. I heard quite good comments about them..

It looks like an older model, the way the atomizer head fits into the cartridge, and not the cartridge into the atomizer is a design feature that has been changed in most minis , preventing the nicotine solution in the mouth problem even if the solution isn't vaporizing correctly. *edit* I am not an authority on e cigarettes, this is just a theory*edit
