Yep, the wind creates a pressure difference and turns on an automatic switch. Dr. Jim Loi used to ride with his in a pocket and a plastic tube leading up to his mouth.
Perhaps he couldn't pay for the server costs, if he had a high amount of traffic it could have just been to much. If you really have to have an American Based site our forum is based out of sunny California 
Chill mods and an Admin with a sense of humour. Just got a new server too I hope it keeps up with the traffic. Perhaps I'll call it "The 2nd American Forum"

hmm
That gives me an idea for the biker. Instead of a blue tooth you could have a vape tooth with a manual switch next to the kill switch.
Not sure if this was mentioned before, but last time I was on there, there was mention of them changing forum software. Probably down while they configure the new site.

I am so happy to see some of you from the other forum. I miss it! That forum got me started on e-cigs, and Max answered many of my questions. From the day I started e-cigs I have not had an analog. 14 days today!
YEAH BABY !!! YOU GO....Ahhh, Hmmm Girl...Boy?
I've been experiencing the same problem too. But its nice to see familiar faces from over there, over here. Hi Max!
Girl! How safe is it to drip on the atomizer? Does it wear out the atomizer faster than using a cart?
Pretty safe. It will wear down a little faster but I haven't noticed a difference. Just give it a wash when it gets hard to suck on. But if you only drip on the atomizer make sure at the SLIGHTEST taste of burnt or any "strange" taste you drop a few more drops on. Last thing you want is to burn out your atomizer.
Great post Max..very informative regarding your Janty experience.
I rec'd my KB extended kit yesterday (with all the kit components included) and should clarify right from the get-go this is my First e-cig. So not only do I have no previous experience with Janty or their products...I have no previous e-cig experiences Period!
I was lucky enuf to receive all the advertised items with my kit, so I was able to start using it after the 1hr. USB Battery conditioning cycle.
First couple of Puffs on this sucker 'bout had me coughin' my head off! I wasn't ready for so much Freekin Vapor! Quickly figured out that I could not toke on this e-cig the same way I've been toking on my Light 100's for the past 25yrs.
This KB requires a small fraction of the pressure and velocity that I'm accustomed to with analogs. After a few hours I was able to use it comfortably. I feel as I am generating as much, or more vapor than the amount of smoke I generated w/Analogs.
I find the Manual switch allows me much easier control of the amount of vapor...hit the switch a second prior to inhaling and release it a second before I stop inhaling seems to work best for me.
I agree with your impression of the tapered mouthpiece, but I'm getting used to it. The lack of the LED was one reason I wanted this model. I wanted to start with a model that did not resemble an analog at all, As i hope this may expand my horizons a bit.. as to where I might be allowed to use it in public while minimizing confusion as to it being an analog.
I received 4 different flavored carts with my kit (unfortunately, not the 4 I ordered) RY3, RY4, TAB and Cappucinno all 16mgs. Haven't rec'd an email response yet from Jeff to determine why I didnt get the other two flavors that I did order.
Probably just me and my non-existant taste buds...but I can only detect slight differences between any of the flavors mentioned above. Maybe I'm still assimilating to the flavor of the PG base, as what I primarily taste.
As a person who has a 1 1/2-2 pack/Day analog habit using M***boro or B**ics light 100's, I am very suprised how long these KB carts are lasting me. Over a 23hr period I've comsumed almost 2 carts...which would indicate about 1:1 Cart/Pack ratio for me which is Better than I anticipated. (your mileage may vary)
I wonder if this Manual switch would work out for you bikers. It seems that it would to me...maybe get a fitted leather pouch on a chain to hang 'round yer neck while riding...If pouch were fitted to keep the switch aligned with a hole to activate it while riding you'd be all set...maybe.
Hell, I've got access to scraps of upholsery leather and wife has a heavy duty leather sewing machine.... I'll see what she thinks and let yall know if she comes up with something for ya to try out.
On the whole...I'm very impressed with the build quality so far (glad to see they took Dustys" recomendation to heart and got the atomizer alignment issue resolved...perfect alignment on mine) and hope I find no issues with the KB Batteries. ie. Dura-c issues.
I do have a few questions that I'm sure someone here can answer (Ahem..Max, Kate, Rita, TB?..anyone?)...
1. What is the standard amount of juice Janty charges the KB carts with?
actually looking for the avg. number ml. found in retail Janty KB carts
2. What are the Cleanest alternate Juices available? Juices known to have the least amount of residue remaining that may potentialy fowl an atomizer.
3, Is the suggested vertical overnight draining of the atomizers sufficient for keeping them clean/working? If not, what methods are proven to work for your KB atomizers?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you care to share.

P.S. Did a forum search for "Janty KB" and Max's (#38) post was atop the window. Just assumed he started a thread about Janty KB and this was correct location to post. I apologize if I side tracked the thread.

Hi Mike.
I squeezed 0.8ml from a Janty classic cartridge. If you account for the fact that not all of the eliquid could be extracted I'd say there is 1ml in them.
The only residue tests I know of are the ones Knutselpeter did, you can see the results here - Ampullen en Liquid testje - *E-Cigtest, the ultimate electronic cigarettes review site* Le site de la cigarette électronique (scroll down to the pics of the spoons to compare brands)
I don't bother to clean or drain my Kissbox atomisers unless they're obviously flooded. Can't be bothered and don't think it makes any difference. Get a new one every month or two on warranty.

Wow Kate! Yer like an E-Cig Godess! Omnipresent!! lol
Thanks for the quick reply and link, wish i could read it.
In this case though...a picture is worth a thousand words.
Have you experienced any Atomizer problems with any particular juices
that you would suggest avoiding?
Are you intimating that an atomizer only lasts you a month before dying?
Or that they have become so ineffective that you simply return them?
What reason would there be to buy Janty Juice for $10/10ml bottle?
I must be missing something here.... I can buy 10 new, prefilled, packaged carts, Containing 10mls of juice ....Or buy a bottle of just the juice and reuse old carts? Seems like a no-brainer

I'm one of the two mods from there. The site is down. KingSmoke cannot be contacted. He's the only one who can fix. A whois only yields an unpublished return result.
Sorry...don't know when it will be back up. Hence why I'm here.
Thanks Mike
You could try that page with Google translate - Dutch to English.
I have very limited experience with different brands of eliquid, mostly I use Janty because I trust them more (maybe foolishly) and I like their flavours. Some eliquids have been said to clog atomisers but I can only refer you to the residue tests already mentioned.
Usually I get a month or two from a Kissbox atomiser before it performance is not good enough for me, at that point I give up on it and get a replacement. Your mileage may vary.
You could get around 0.8ml from a cartridge - if you can get it almost dry (that won't happen) so 10 of them = 8ml plus wastage which isn't environmentally friendly. I buy eliquid because I don't use cartridges (they don't work well for me in a Kissbox), it comes in better flavours and you get a little more for your money. You're right though, there isn't much in it where money is concerned.

DisMan,
I've been waiting for you to show up around here. Good to see you again.
Ok everyone, for those wondering what's going on with me and my KissBox, I don't want to hi-jack this thread and take it iff topic so you'll need to go here>>>http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/electronic-cigarette-reviews/868-k-i-s-s-classic-review-new-post.html
Been vaping with it for just about a week already and I have updates to my original posting.
Disman, You probably have yours and have been using it by now so I'll like to see comments from you as well.
Max
I had no idea that this was the non-american forum, lol. I know plenty of people here are from all over the world, but there seems to be quite a few americans here, too. Once I found this forum, I never looked for another one.
I've been using the KBC since August of last year. I have 8 batteries and 8 atomizers in rotation right now (between my girlfriend and I).
I can't say I hate it...I'm still using the original switch, which is not really considered a "throw-away" part.
Overall, I have to say it's been great. Good vapor production, keeps you off the analogs. I like the Fargo flavor the best now. Tastes change though...so, you gotta keep switching it up.
I ordered a Dura-C...those are on quite a long backorder list so I'm in no hurry to receive. Of course, if I don't get it within the next week or so, I'll start .....ing about it.
