What's wrong here?

[j_royall]

Hey forum!

I've been vaping for 2 straight days now- haven't had an analog since Tuesday afternoon!

I bought the Janty Kissbox. One thing I've noticed is that I end up having to constantly smoke it like a cigar. In other words, with the automatic switch on, I have to always puff puff, and then take a drag. Otherwise, I don't really get any vapor. With the manual switch on, the device doesn't seem to work that well. It did at first, but since then, not really. I'll press it, and not really get any vapor.

So what am I doing wrong here? Am I drowning the atomiser? Not giving it enough? Seems like I've tried all different scenarios, with fresh batteries all, with two different atomisers, and the vapor production is just inconsistent. I've dripped a few drops into the carts, tried it, same thing. Then I'll take the cart out and try to dry smoke it for a sec, same thing. I'm sure it's just a newb mistake I'm making, but any advice would be great.

Thanks,
JR

Hi j_royall, check if you have a closed or open atomizer... if it is an open one then liquid might have clogged the contact inside, if it is a closed one and it didn't work well from the beginning then something else might be wrong inside the switch.

if any problems e-mail jeff@jantyusa.com for USA or dispatch@jantyshop.com for Europe

Hey Ludo,

The whole thing worked really well when I first got it, which is what makes me think that I'm the one doing something wrong, not the device.

What's a closed or open atomiser? I don't know what those terms mean. Somebody quick- draw me a picture!!!

 

[Ludo]

look at the side of the manual switch which screws into the battery, if it is closed and has no hole then you have a recent type switch. These new switches should be working fine... when you push the button and you keep the cig next to your ear, you should hear the sound of the atomizer. Make sure you connect switch and atomizer and battery firmly...

I don't find it easy to get consistency from a Kissbox. Some cartridges work well but loads do not, they stop wicking onto the atomiser after a few draws. I usually drip directly onto the atomiser now, this gives good results once you get the hang of it. Keeping the atomiser wet enough but not flooded takes a bit of skill but once you've sorted technique it is a great vape.

I'd agree with Kate 100% on that - it's exactly what I do. Carts are fine but variable. I've also found the Janty e-liquid is OK but works best with a fully charged battery (the TW liquid seems to work better - or it does for me).

 

[j_royall]

I will try some dripping as soon as I get some backup atomisers. I only have 2 now, and I can't afford to clog one just yet. Knowing me, I'll accidently oversqueze my juice bottle.

SOOT- what does TW stand for? Remember guys, you're in the newbie forum! We don't necessarily speak your code language yet!

 

[Kate]

TW = Totally Wicked. It's an eliquid brand sold by Pillbox38.

SOOT- what does TW stand for?

TW = Totally Wicket Liquid = pillbox founder and supplier

I actually just ordered 2 sample bottles of Johnson's Creek yesterday, because I like the whole "made in the USA instead of China" thing. Whether or not that makes me a sucker remains to be seen!

Kate, when dripping directly onto the atomizer, how many drops of the juice do you guys tend to put on there. I just tried it with 2 drops, and it stopped vaping before I was ready for it to stop! That being said, I don't want to flood the thing, making it unrecoverable.

 

[Kate]

I use two drops at a time and they usually last around five minutes. The atomiser has to be not too dry or wet to start off with, the only way to learn about getting this right is to practice. If it fizzes it's probably too dry and if it gurgles it's probably too wet.

Yee haw!

 

[j_royall]

Now I just have to learn to distinguish between a fizzle and a gurgle! I guess a fizzle is what my jokes sound like, while a gurgle is what my stomache usually sounds like.

I'm definitely interested in trying some juice other than Janty's. I guess i'll go order 2 more atomizers right now so that I don't feel so worried about ruining the 2 that I already have.

Everyone making those cowboy jokes- watch out- you're talking to a real, live Texan here!
