Yes the smartfixx cartridges fit in the njoy product. My friend has a njoy cigarette and we have tried and it fits the same and taste the same. Smartfixx also has buy 4 get one free. It would cost $51.80 plus shipping $7.95. That is what I purchase and save a lot.
Thanx lisahill, appreciate the response. $51.80 + $7.95 shipping for 5 cartridges still comes out about $5.00 per cartridge cheaper than $49.90 for 3 with free shipping.
got my second pen style from SmartFixx yesterday... VERY pleased! I think i may have a newer atomizer as well--more porcelain around the steel wool loop... TONZ of vapor! more than i remember from the original bought WAY back on May 15th.... :roll:
Weird side note however--the carts do not fit! The black mouth piece edges(where they "click" into the atomizer) are scalloped instead of just a plain ring and they are just a bit too small for the opening. I have an email into SmartFixx and they are SO fabulous in dealing with any issues that i am sure replacements are already en route! These guys are great that way.. i am just wondering why the diff???? :?
also noticed that the first 2 5packs i received from them read "NO" for zero nicotine and these read "NON?" Possibly a different supplier?
Any way -- JUST FYI!

What did i say? Just got back from the golf course and what was waiting in my inbox?
"We have mailed out a new carton of Zero nicotine cartridges on 6/7/08
Sorry for the problem.
Thank you

Maybe pen styles are different but I do not see how they can claim a mini cartridge is the same as 2 packs of cigs? I don't see that happening at all!
From their site:
"5 - Regular Smokeless Nicotine Cartridges
(equivalent to 10 packs of cigarettes)"
http://www.smartfixx.com/index.php/star ... duct-flyer
Anything over a pack is usually wishful thinking, I don't see how this can be true?
Unfortunately none of the reviews for this thing here mention cartridge longevity.

yeah,i wish theyd stop saying that.penstyle carts dont live up to claims either-20 cigs x 15 drags each(max)=300 drags-thats the usual blurb(some claim 600!)...ok,well maybe some good carts do 300 drags-mine dont,not decent vapour drags-and half+ of these puffs are to prime the bloody atomiser so you can get a respectable mouthful of vapour to inhale!i think thats how they fudge it.if they are comparing satisfaction levels per drag between ecigs and norms,well then im afraid the figures look even worse.personally i need at least 3 very good puffs on an ecig to give me anything like remotely comparable satisfaction to one from a normal cig.i think its best not to compare the two at all,because they are different animals and tricky to equate because of the variables involved,but its probably necessary to do so for the consumer currently..i do think that if they are going to make direct comparisons in their advertising,then the figures should at least be more realistic.
My husband and I smoke the smartfixx cigarette and each of us get different use at of the cartons. We have notice that he inhales longer then me. So its hard to say how much we get from each cartridge? But I use to smoke a pack a day and now about 2 or 3 regular cigarettes a day. I usually go through a cartridge every other day. So I am close to what they say to how long it last.
I count on about 3 months for mine: by then they will have gone down far enough that a charge will be gone in less then an hour (time for new ones). Sometimes I'm lucky and get a month more; sometimes I'm less lucky and haveto throw them out after a few weeks... so just a rough average.
New member here- Howdy all. - Just got the Smartfixx Mini yesterday- I don't mean for hits to be too negative a review as I'm new to E-Smokin, and perhaps there is something I'm not doing quite right or something, but I'm a bit disappointed with my purchase for the reasons below-
Brief smoking intro- I only smoke a pack a day, but they are full strength ciggs, and I smoke every last ounce out of the cigg I can- Deep inhales, lungs burning with smokey 'goodness' and hold the smoke in for a bit- so I am a hard-core 1 pack a day smoker I'd say who needs the lungs to tingle and the smoke to envelop me when smoking to satisfy. I want to switch to E-Ciggs, but not sure I'll be able to- at least not fully. I just bought the Mini SamrtFixx, and I think I made a mistake and shoulda bought the Pen-Style instead- I got caught up in the looks of the mini and the 'convenience' of the size hoping that I wouldn't have to carry around the larger Pen-Styles, but like I said, I think I made mistake getting the Mini. Now onto my initial impressions of the Mini:
Service was excellent and fast. Ordered on Wednesday afternoon- got it in mailbox on Friday morning. The only thing I would like to state about the company so far is that I don't think they should charge a restocking fee if a product is returned- not that I'm going to return my product, but in my opinion, I think it's just not good company policy to charge restocking fees- most of the big companies understand that customers don't go for hits too well- but other than that one minor complaint, like I said, the service was fantastic and fast so far.
1: The Cart length time: Not too good in my opinion. Carts aren't lasting nearly long enough- went through 2 1/2 yesterday alone- I'm a 1 pack a day smoker normally, and according to Smartfixx's stats, smoking 2 1/2 carts apparently means that I smoked 5 packs of ciggs yesterday (not to mention that I smoked 12 regular ciggs to boot). If this is true, then I probably should be lying in a hospital right now on life support lol). When the Carts were fresh right out of package, and fresh charged battery, the smoke was o.k- not great, but not terrible either. I would say the smoke cloud remained consistently 'dense' (although too sparse in my opinion) for around 125-150 (maybe a little more- wasn't really counting faithfully) or so good long complete drags (dragging until light began to blink), then it started to diminish slowly (I'll talk more about the smoke and battery life below). The carts in my opinion do not last nearly long enough- I'm on my 4'th already, and it's only been one full day.
The carts in the Mini are very small, and obviously can't hold a lot of vapor liquid, and so they start drying out rather too quickly in my opinion, but then again, this is a Mini we're talking about. Perhaps the Mini should be maybe just kept on hand for situations where it would be more discreet to use the Mini, and have a larger Pen-Type as the main smoking device. With the mini, I would say it is only just adequate in howl on the Carts last in my opinion. Having one on hand though with a fresh battery, and fresh Cart is sufficient for calming the nerves a bit with a nico-hit, but I think it falls short in satisfying the overall smoking experience for reasons I'll highlight below.
2a: The Inhale/Exhale/Vapor experience: Wow, hard to get used to! Was really having to drag hard- got light-headed (but want to issue a personal side-note here- didn't mind the light-headedness as it sorta kinda maybe psychologically tricked me into perhaps thinking that I was getting enough nicotine- kinda like a placebo effect I guess. When I got real dizzy, it felt like I had had enough nico, so I didn't tend to inhale more for a bit- perhaps saving me from having to go to my 3'rd Cart for the day). During the learning experience, I discovered that the drags weren't consistent in how much smoke they produced. I learned that I actually got better smoke by letting the unit cool down, then just taking a steady slow drag until light began to blink. As the carts nico and smoke producing substance diminished, then I'd have to 'prime' by taking a few short 'puffs' then a long slow drag till light blinked.
2b: Inhale/exhale/Vapor: A bit rough on the throat- not enough though to make me cough or anything, just felt a bit harsh, like perhaps swallowing a bit too hot bite of food or drink of coffee, but it didn't last long- perhaps about 15 or so seconds after exhale. The smoke/vapor in the lungs was fine- would have liked just a bit more 'bite' to the vapor in the lungs though to replicate the smoking sensation a bit better, but the vapor was fine in the lungs. One thing I learned was to exhale very slowly to replicate smoking better. If I exhaled too quick, the smoke/vapor looked weak and sparse. Exhaling slowly produced a better smoke/vapor cloud and seemed to satisfy my psychological need to see a cloud of 'smoke' upon exhale somewhat (I'd say the percentage of cloud satisfaction was about roughly 1/3 of regular cigg as far as satisfying me psychologically- I think it's the psychological part of smoking that is the strongest addiction to smoking personally, and if I'm going to be able to switch to E-smoking, I think this is an important consideration when evaluating the product)
2c: Inhale/Exhale/Vapor: I'm spending more item on this part of the review, because to me, it's probably the second greatest influence next to the actual nicotine addiction (I'll not get into the other chemicals that also cause addiction in ciggs). I would like to see a much better vapor, but again, I think I made a mistake and should have bought the Pen-Style, which I am going to do right after this review. I'd exchange the Mini for the Pen-Style, but being that I'll have to pay shipping/handling/restocking and be charged for what I've used (I'm assuming that includes being charged for the Carts used, perhaps for the Atomizer as well?), I don't think it's worth the cost so will just hand onto the product and just get the Pen-Style too. (After all, it's still cheaper than what I pay for a month of regular smoking- I'll just have to drastically cut down on regular ciggs in the meantime).
2d: Smoke replication/comparison to Regular Cigg: I think the bit of a sting in the throat may just be able to replace my psychological need for a burn in the lungs, but it's too early at hits point to tell. The vapor in my lungs isn't quite 'biting' enough I think to replace an actual Cigg just yet, but I'm hoping the mild throat sting might be enough of a placebo effect for me to replace my 'need' for the lung burn. The actual vapor cloud, as I said, is just adequate, but coupled with the relatively short Cart life, the relatively short battery life (which I'll briefly describe below) it amounts to a negative in my opinion.
2e: Draw/Drag/Hit/Nicotine Hard to take a draw- but have learned to draw slow, smoothly for best result, and don't get quite as dizzy as trying to force the device to take a powerful draw for more smoke/vapor. The nicotine- I'm not sure what to think- Psychologically, at this point, I don't think I'm getting enough- but I must say, I do think I might have been overdosing a bit yesterday- Sweating, dizzy (but that mighta been from having to draw so hard until I learned how to draw- also- I rather enjoyed being a bit dizzy, as Psychologically, I think it helped with the Psychological feeling that I wasn't getting enough nico- the dizziness made it feel like I was perhaps getting enough- hopefully this will help convince my stubborn mind that I am indeed getting the fix I 'need'). Carts didn't last long enough, so I'm thinking it might be almost as expensive in the long run as smoking- although certainly a lot healthier hopefully.
Bottom line on the Vapor: The Vapor in the Mini in my opinion is just adequate- provided you have a relatively new Cart and fully charged battery. If I get a good hit, it is about 1/3 to 1/2 as satisfying as a regular Cigg- but I don't consistently get 'good hits' it seems. Some are a bit wimpy, and then the next one might be a better hit, next one better still- next one a bit wimpy, and so on. But hits could all be due to bad technique too, so I can't at hits point chalk the fault up to the Mini.
3: Taste: Wow! Weird. Not saying good, not saying bad- just different. When Cart is full, it's fine, and a taste I really think I can 'learn' to come to prefer over regular Ciggs- at least I hope I can- I really don't mind the full Cart taste right now, it's just a bit different is all- but when the Carts get low on smoking juice, the taste turns to a bit of a weird almost burnt taste with a tinge of something I can't quite describe- am ix between burnt and sour/metallic taste- the taste lingers for a long time after too- it even affects the taste of my regular Ciggs as the taste kinda 'sticks' to the roof of my mouth and I guess kinda up in sinus area- so it's kinda like a simultaneous taste/smell at the same time. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm not suggesting I'm turned off by the 'burnt' flavor, and like I said, I even think I may be able to psychologically make the switch from Cigg taste (Marlboros) to the E-cigg taste- As well, I am going to try to cook down a few real ciggs to maybe boost the E-cigg flavor a bit- I'm a big Tobacco taste fiend- don't really go for all those fruit/nut/coffee etc flavor tobaccos- just want straight tobacco flavor. I'll probably try adding tobacco flavor, but like I said, I'm not adverse to the E-Cigg flavor- so I might not even try to flavor it.
4: Battery Life: Couple of hours maybe? Seems the Mini needs a fresh battery for best results- after say 3 hours or so, I find I have to draw harder- but if I pop a fresh battery in at this point, I don't have to draw so hard. For anyone thinking of getting an E-Cigg for the first time, I'd recommend getting two chargers and at least one extra battery in addition to the usual two supplied with the units- I would also investing in extra atomizer too- but that's mostly just for convenience sake.
5: Atomizer: In my opinion, heats up too quickly on the Mini model, and doesn't let me take a long enough draw. I've also noticed that I get a much better hit if I cover the holes briefly while drawing.
I know this all sounds kinda negative, but I don't mean for it too- overall, My impression of the Mini is that it is slightly adequate- to o.k.- Certainly not bad. Will the Mini help me make the switch to E-Smoking? At this point I would say no- that it would probably only help me cut down on regular Ciggs a bit- perhaps time will change my opinion though as I'm still quite psychologically addicted to Regular Ciggs at the moment. In the next few weeks, I'll be going through quite the psychological battle trying to convince myself that I really don't need regular Ciggs like I think I do, and that E-Ciggs are supplying me with what I 'need'- I'm pretty stubborn when it comes to being set in my ways regarding habits- and I'm probably the first person who should not be smoking at all given my health conditions- but even that hasn't persuaded me to give up the nasty habit of Tobacco unfortunately.
If someone could give a fairly in-depth review of SmartFixx PenStyle and/or Cigar, I'd certainly like to read your impressions on the smoke/vapor- with the Cigar, can you inhale and exhale a good cloud/vapor? Or is it a 'puff only' type where inhaling and then exhaling doesn't produce visible vapor? I've seen video of one Cigar where they pointed out that the cigar was 'puff only', and they demonstrated how if you try to inhale, you won't see any vapor on the exhale. The 'puffing' produced some nice looking smoke/vapor, but like I said, it was useless for inhale/exhale vapor production.
Brief smoking intro- I only smoke a pack a day, but they are full strength ciggs, and I smoke every last ounce out of the cigg I can- Deep inhales, lungs burning with smokey 'goodness' and hold the smoke in for a bit- so I am a hard-core 1 pack a day smoker I'd say who needs the lungs to tingle and the smoke to envelop me when smoking to satisfy.

I haven't used the Smartfixx brand in particular, but nothing on the site makes me think it's anything but a standard generic model, and your discription sounds like it. The hard drag is unfortunately common for minis. MyECig.com has a super-mini which is better, but IMO is still a bit too hard. The cartridge life you report is also typical. Virtually every seller is guilty of exaggerating cartridge life, and it's typical to use the same figures for the minis as for the full sized penstyle models. There's no mini on the market that equals a pack per cartridge. They just can't hold that much liquid.
The best I've found for minis is MyECig.com's DSE-901 style mini (the middle sized e-cig). It's not as discrete as a 100mm mini, being a bit longer, but it is a MUCH easier draw, and produces a LOT more smoke.
E-cig-sales.com also sells a couple good mini models; they are a little harder to draw than the DSE901, but not by much, and don't quite put out as much smoke, but have more of a real cigarette look. The flavors of e-liquid she sells are quite nice, too.
Or if you want to go for the top of the market, Janty's new KISSbox Yentyl at ruyanxpress.com is absolutly first rate. Best mini on the market, although it's a bit longer than a real cig.
As for the cigars, the lack of exhalation seems particular to the Ruyan Vegas disposable e-cigar. The liquid in it seems to have been adjusted, to give it a higher PH balance so it will absorb through the mouth and throat. The result is that if you do inhale, it all absorbs, and there's no visible exhalation. The rest use the same liquid that the e-cigarettes do, so produce normal exhalation.

Thanks for replying. Yeah, I just ordered the PenStyle from SmartFixx- We'll see how that goes. I'll probably carry a fully charged Mini around along with the Pen which I'll mainly use, but then resort to the Mini when the Pen starts to drain a bit- either that or I'll just return the Mini and take hte hit on cost charges - not sure yet which I'll do. Probably just keep it for experimenting with dripping & such. Will probably Buy some Bickford essence & mix soem cooked down Tobacco in for the nicotine. I'd really like ot try MyECig.com's DSE-901, but will have to wait a month or two till I get caught back up $$-wise. Also the MyECig site looked liek it wasn't acceptign orders? Also, on the SmartFixx site, I was able to order with My creditcard, but it was a Paypal transaction? (I don't have a paypal account, but it went through as a paypal transaction anyway) Does MyECig do the same hting? All I have is credit card- not PP account. Also, is it a U.S based site?
The E-cig-sales.com - is it U.S based site? Doesn't sound liek it if it's selling E-Smoking Juices as those are not legal in states I don't think?
I was thinking abotu the Yentyl when I was first lookign into Mini's, but the price just is not too cost effective- Health-wise of course it's much better, but too expensive I think. Will probably just stick with the SmartFixx Pen and most likely later get the DS-901 as I've seen soem pretty impressive Youtube videos on that one- but wonder if they still produce alot of smoke after a few weeks worth of using daily?

One of the videos may have been mine, and I've had mine for about 3 weeks now. So far so good. Very few of us have had any single model for very long. In my case at least that's been because I keep buying new ones, not because the old one have gone bad. Although that does happen, none of mine have died. I killed one. A couple have had bad pieces. Some have been out of the box failures. But all the ones that worked have kept working. 
Oh, sorry, forgot to answer a couple other things you asked;
MyECig.com is still under construction, but he's here on the board under the name Meltrix. E-mail him or PM him here, either way.
E-Cig-Sales.com isn't selling the liquid to the general public yet, but she's giving us on this board a shot at it first. Think of it as getting inside access.
And yes, thyey're both based in the USofA! How do I get this thing to play God Bless America????)

Thanks for the reply- I'll probably get the DSE-901- but was watchign Dustin's 'updated video' where he hsows the smoke again after a week of use, and it seemed the vapour was a bit weaker- about what my SmartFixx Mini is producing at hte moment- but perhaps it was just the lighting in the video? Although it looked to me like he was having to draw a bit harder too- but one person in that thread about MyECigg said they bought one and it's still smokin great after two weeks
I've noticed an odd thing with my Mini SmartFixx- Some of hte cartidges I think are spent because htey dont produce near enough smoke anymore, I lay down on the table for awhile (couple of hours), and hten, just out of curiosity, I pop them back in to hte Mini and they seem to smoke again for a bit (perhaps an hour or so)
