Which 801 to buy?

[Maya]

Ok,

I am thinking of getting an 801 and after lots of trolling I decided to just ask...what's the best 801 to get and where should I get it from? I would prefer somewhere within the USA so I don't have to wait a while for shipping/customs problems. I would also prefer somewhere that has 801 parts in stock that I can rely on coming back to when I need replacement things.

Also, as a side note, would my money be better spent just going ahead and getting a Janty Stick V2? I think I would like the cartridge size, battery life, and feel of the 801 in my hand...but I'm just looking for other peoples input.

Yes get the Stick v2. I have 2 of v1 and it is great!

If you have decided on an 801 then the Stick is the way to go.........

EDIT: Another big plus is long battery life AND a built in passthrough.

I'd recommend the JS too. The stick is much more consistent than a "traditional" 801. IMO, the stick gets the most out of the 801 atty. I get better vapor, hit and flavor from the JS than I did with an 801 battery.

IMO, if you're thinking about doing an 801, (sorry, can't figure out how to get out of bold), I'd buy a mod that uses regular batteries (which include the JS) and attys and blank carts from bestecig. JMO.

Best ECig BE112's are great. I also have the Prodigy enroute, but haven't used it so I couldn't recommend it yet...

The Janty Stick or the Prodigy from puresmoker.

Wow...thanks for the quick response everyone. I had just about made up my mind to get a JS, but the most recent reviews I read on it got bad reviews with the atomizer dying within a week or so. If the 801 atomizers (incl. be112) are just more prone to dying like that...and the battery life is only increased a little (1-2 hours) compared to the pen style...then why should i spend twice the money? I dont have the trouble with battery life that other people seem to with my 901, I'm more concerned about cartridge life and a smoother hit. thoughts?

Also, lets say that i decide to go ahead and wait to get a JS, and want to buy a basic penstyle...what should i get? an Njoy? the whole be112 unit? I wold prefer to order the the starter kits/supplies all from one website, even if i order additional supplies from somewhere else.


Thanks again for everyone's input.

I recommend the Janty Kissbox Classic or the Kissbox Extended. You can run the Kissbox as an automatic device, or a manual device. You pay a little more up front for Janty products, but you also have a one year warranty on parts. The extended kit comes with a USB Passthrough. One downside is the high cost of replacement parts. I happen to run BE112 atomizers on my Kissbox system as I do not want to pay $18 for a replacement.

Thanks! I've been looking very closely at the kissbox set...and maybe getting some be112 atomizers...but 2 questions:

1. Is there a pcc included with the set? Or does the USB cable just have a place to put in an extra battery to charge?

2. Everything I can find says the warranty is only 6 months. Am i looking in the wrong place? What is the battery life like on these?


also, I am thinking of just starting with a basic 801 to see if I like it before deciding on something more expensive. Whats a good vendor to get a good quality basic 801 from?

Thanks

Maya, if you were to purchase an 801 pen-style device you will be able to use it as a back-up if and when you purchase a Janty Stick. The nice part about that is the atomizers for the pen-style and the JS are one in the same. So, potentially you would have a back-up (the 801) AND spare parts for the JS. It's a win-win, and it is precisely what I did.

I bought my pen-styles ($56) from:

Pen Style E cigs : e cigarettes, The electronic cigarette store

Good luck to you.

No PCC. In line battery powers the USB passthrough.

2. Everything I can find says the warranty is only 6 months. Am i looking in the wrong place? What is the battery life like on these?

Used to be one year. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.

A classic penstyle and a JS will vape differently due to the bigger battery/more power of the JS even though the atomizers are the same. I didn't like the 801 atomizer until I started using it with 5 volts of power.
