So i've had an NPRO in my hands for about an hour.

[Zach]

So far it hasn't crapped out on me. This is my first electronic cigarette and i've been lurking this board since about tuesday when i ordered the NPRO.

Honestly, i was kind of apprehensive about getting it because based on what i've read here, i heard it was a real turd. Fortunately i have found thus far, this is not the case. While it is a super mini, it works pretty good and seems to put out a lot of vapor. The only problem with it is the drag is really hard. It does look almost exactly like a real cigarette.

I found that when i cover one of the two holes on the side, not only does it put out more vapor, but it activates the heating element and battery light more consistently. Just sucking on it, the battery light cuts in and out a little bit, but stays on real good when i cover one of the holes, better vapor too, no idea why.

While i do like the njoy, i have already put in an order for some Pure and Cash E-juices! That, and an extra pee-wee atomizer for the npro (just in case). Next week i plan on getting a pen-style from steve and two more 10ml bottles of juice. I'm working on making my own nicotine e-juice and a... erm, special..... herbal juice of my own design. I'll leave it at that.

But the point is, i've gone 3 hours now without a cigarette and i have no desire to smoke one. I'd like to thank everyone here at the e-cigarette forum for the wealth of information it contains. Truly some brilliant thinkers, designers, and businessmen here!

Welcome to the forum Zach. Sounds like your moving in the right direction. Good luck!

 

[shawnp1]

good to see that the npro is working good for u. good luck

 

[Lurker]

You might overheat your atomizer by covering one of the holes Be careful with that. Welcome to the forum

The npro is alright, but i have no doubt in my mind that steve or one of the other guys that has a super mini is selling the exact same combination of parts for 2/3rds of the price of the npro. In fact, my guess is, they are all made in the same 2 or 3 factories in china.

I actually ordered an extra peewee atomizer from puresmoker.com with my juices, so i can inspect the atomizers and let you guys know what i find and if they are 100% similar as i suspect.

The thing i don't like about how NJOY does business is, why do the freakin' carts cost like four times as much? I am still gonna take advantage of the warranty but their cart prices are pretty much totally out of control.
It's extortion!

Also, i'm in detroit, michigan. So i'm from the states and will be trying out and reviewing some US suppliers in the next few months.

i am almost positive the pee wee cash has is the same as the npro. just shoot him a msg im sure he will know for sure.

Well, i've already got the atomizer on order from him because it's compatible anyways. It should be here monday, I just want to see if it's identical. The atomizer in the njoy looks different from how i assumed it would, it seems to work very well for being so small. I have also been checking the wick on the atomizer every hour or so, looking for burning or carbon buildup, and nothing has showed yet. In fact it seems the wick is very effective at doing it's job. I am probably being ultra-paranoid and by the time i burn out an atomizer i won't even be looking for it and it will blind-side me, but i like to know how the devices work/stop working.

I have found that now that i'm not worried about my cigarette burning out, i just take a puff every 20 minutes and feel satisfied.

This is definitely changing my smoking experience, however, i enjoy it as much as i enjoyed cigarettes, so i can't really ..... about it. The standard njoy menthol is kind of annoying, can anyone tell me how the pure menthol from cash compares?

I have never had njoy menthol so I can't tell you how it compares. But I have pure menthol 36mg from cash that I use with 18mg cig flavor juice to bring up the nic level. Even mixed at 50/50 the flavor of the menthol (more minty than menthol) is quite strong. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Yes ...

Pure PeeWee = RN4081
NJOY Pro = RN4081

Everything is compatible with each other

Hope this helps

 

[Zach]

Yeah man, i know they are compatible (that's why i ordered it) what i want to know is if they are exactly identical. It's not unusual for them to be compatible but in my opinion, with the kind of marketing njoy does, i think it is remarkable if the same product costs 30 dollars less from a smaller supplier.
I mean let's face it, their advertising and marketing is good (i hear their service is alright, too), but not 30 extra dollars worth of good +300 extra a year for carts.
Also, imagine what a bulk discount they are getting? Njoy is probably buying 10,000 at a time while i can't imagine you are doing shipments of more than 1000 a month, and still you run circles around their prices and service. IMO for them to sell the exact same product and make this much profit is absurd and will run them out of business.

Thanks for the reply and looking forward to trying the juice, cashmere.

If you Slap a Brand Name on it, and a Pretty Sticker on the Box, then do A lot of advertising, you get a price 2 X what it should be.
I would have to look it up, but if Steve says they are the same part number, then they are the EXACT same item that has been what we call "Re-Branded".

Zach ... NJOY and myself have the same manufacturer bud.

That just about sums it up!

 

[sixstring]

They (NJOY) apparently have enough margin in their stuff to have it listed on target.com at about the same prices for njoy online, so yeah they're waayyy overpriced.

 

[Zach]

I've concluded that i'm going to return the npro on the 30 day money-back guarantee, and just get a janty yentl kissbox, some janty juice, some pure juice, a pen style from steve, and some replacement parts.
That way i should be good for a month or two.

The npro smokes surprisingly good, but the draw is too hard and i get absolutely a ton of juice stuck in the atomizer. I blew it out on a napkin and there is so much wasted. I hear the draw on the yentl is great and i'd also like more battery life. I like that janty seems to have some innovative features.

its only wasted when u blow it out.. dont.. its meant to be there..

trog

 

[Zach]

Trog,

I appreciate your wisdom and have seen your invention, The Screwdriver. That thing pretty much owns dude.

That said, i noticed that after i blew most of the juice out of the atomizer, the drag was probably 50% easier. The drag on this thing is like a mcdonalds shake and i was just trying to do anything to reduce it. I made sure after blowing it out to let a cartridge sit next to the heating element and wick up some nicquid before using it. The whole point of leaving the liquid in the atomizer is to not burn up the wick material, yes?

It really clogs up the airholes in this thing. I could get a much harder drag without liquid gurgling in the atomizer, but i guess with this model there's no choice, right? Air channels are just too small. Makes me think maybe the best liquid for super-mini type cigarettes would be less viscous.

Anyone tried the kissbox yentl and can comment on the drag? Does it still gurgle like that?

 

[shawnp1]

the yentyl has a little different design to it. it has a nice pull to it. i believe somewhere leaford did a video on it. i would look through the video reviews section.
