Ruyan V8 - different technology?

[Kate]

Dan, the Ruyan man says this - "... the Ruyan v8 is ultrasonic and there is a 1 year warranty. You also have 30 days no questions asked to return the product, for any reason. I have never had to replace my atomizer, it is a rock solid device. The cartridge tip is also shapped a bit differently."

I've never heard from anyone who owns one of these so I'm curious if any of you are considering buying one. I suppose it's an expensive thing to do if you've got no reviews to go by but they have a 30 day money back guarantee so it could be reviewed for the cost of cartridges.

I've asked Dan about the terms of the Ruyan warranty, if it's a condition that you have to use their juice/cartridges then that really hikes the price up, they are expensive.

The V8 is on Dan's site for $149 (£87). Cartridges cost $4.99 each.

I'd love to try one out on the 30 day promise just to see if it is better than the rest, if the technology is different it might be. I'm in the UK though so it's not really practical for me.

Forgot to add the link to the site - http://www.smokelesswonder.com/default.asp

maybe Ludo could confirm this .

I was under the impression ultrasonic was to cost inhibitive and ruyan shelved the idea.

At £87 for the hardware i would not call that cost inhibitive, especially compared to the price of the kissbox.

personal it would he be proved to me the claims are true.. if i thought they were.. £87 quid is bargain.. if its linked into having to buy their consumables its a f-cking joke.. excuse my language..

trog

ps.. and i would love to buy one and take it to pieces..

Ludo is Janty not Ruyan Apostle.

It's a nice looking ecig I think:

The value for money factor all depends on the conditions of the warranty as far as I can see. If the buyer is tied into buying their overpriced cartridges it is very expensive and limited in flavours.

I wish we had the 30 day money back deal available in the UK, I'd love to try one.

 

[ApOsTle51]

ohh, i thought Janty and Ruyan were connected somehow ?

 

[Kate]

Ludo used to run a Ruyan shop but he's Janty now. Just to confuse things he's now stocking Ruyan ecigars.

I think that V8 might be a mini, the measurements seem to be 100mm.

You're right Trog, I hope they're not leading us up the garden path with the ultrasonic claims. If their atomisers are the same as everybody elses I'll be very disappointed.

 

[Kate]

The V8 isn't a mini after all, the measurements I saw were on a confused site, it was talking about something else.

My heart sank when I read this about the Ruyan warranty - "... please note that the warranty will be voided by using non approved cartridges, batteries, chargers or cords, with the product." So it looks like they bash you on the consumables. They claim that one cartridge "... equates to 1.5 to 2 packs of traditional cigarettes" Unless their cartridges are somehow different to the ones we are used to that's deliberately misleading.

i personally own a ruyan v8. and i still have 45 of their carts lol. i can tell u that they dont last any longer then any other pen model cart out there. as for the cigarette itself they seem to work fine. the atomizer looks no different then any other pen out there that has four holes. the batteries are the same as any other classic pen model also i have used the ruyan atomizer with a njoy battery, a janty batt, and a generic batt. now i might just have a wimpy one but even before i was selling ecigs i wasnt impressed with the ruyan atomizer and if i remember right i paid about 180 dollars for the unit with no carts, but that was awhile ago. i have nothing against the ruyan just that for that money u should get something that is better an or different then whats out there right now

 

[Kate]

Thanks for your input Shawn. It sounds like Ruyan are as full of tripe as a lot of other sellers out there.

Ultrasonics and super cartridges ... we should be so lucky.

That clause in the warranty is a killer when it comes to value for money too.

 

[trog100]

i seem to remember saying a while back kate the long term guarantee was financed by silly high priced consumables..

clever because the high price consumables make sure the device wont get used enough to wear out.. forget them dudess.. spend your money elsewhere..

trog

 

[Kate]

Lol, I'd forgotten about being a Dudess

I was hoping they really had something different Trog, as they are claiming. We could be doing with some novel technology.

They are the only guaranteed device I've come across so far that ties the buyer to their consumables, that's a terrible clause. I don't see them getting many recommendations around here.

 

[trog100]

i seem to remember ruyan saying they consider the mini a toy.. odd people but they must have made some money.. they are in the rolex watch league with rolex watch type customers.. they dont need us...

but equally we dont need them so alls fair..

There you are Kimmie, someone who owns a V8.

 

[Kimmiegrif]

thanks kate...sorry to repeat myself. I should have read further in the post.

This is not relevant to Ruyan. However I got a e-cigarette that states in the book it comes with

"produced by Shenzhen Huangting technologies. Adopting micro-electronic control and ultrasonic atomizing technology."

From the day I got it was a total wimp very useless and when the atomizer finally died after many months of me just trying to get it to make decent smoke cause I never actually smoked the thing I took the atomizer apart and found it was just a heating coil about 4.5cm in length when straight.
I wrapped it around some cardboard soaked it with PG attached it to the battery and blew on the battery and it made more smoke than it even made.

Hi shawnp1, just need to know if this ultrasonic atomizer performs better than our ordinary ones when the battery is low?
