Wierd Janty issue.

[leaford]

I just discovered something wierd with one of my Janty batteries. It stopped working with the manual switch. The manual switch still works with the other battery, and with the USB, and the wierd battery still works with the automatic switch. This just started today, since I was using both batteries with the manual switch before.

I'm not really worried about it. I still have a couple older batteries from batch 3 I can use. It's just wierd.

Can anyone think of what would cause this? I'm stumped.

hi leaford,few days ago i had post about similar strange behave of Janty manual switch. I think i figure out what the problem was with my switch. so, hope i can explain in my bad english; maybe you have the same issue. the main point is that battery loosing the contact with the switch. i guess the metal inside the of joint (between switch and battery) is quite soft. so when we fix strongly battery to switch its press little bit, for example i notice that my usb battery end going hardly in but switch still working with it; but with the battery not any more; so i took sand paper and polish the battery end for very little....so its start work again!!! the inner part get better contact ;-) hope its understandable.
i guess janty experiment with different batch and the sizes is not exact yet..

this probably has nothing to do with your weird works with one battery and not with other problem leaford..

but the little positive center connections sit in a piece if silicone rubber to insulate them from the out part.. they are just a push fit and after repeated use get squidged in slightly compared to when new.. the contacts between battery and atomized get less pressure applied to them.. cleaning helps but isnt the real answer..

if a very small watchmakers screwdriver is used to lever the center part up very slightly the contacts are made again.. strangle enough screwing the two parts together too tightly is what cause this problem..

the silicone around the center contact loses its springiness.. this lead to poor battery contact on the positive connection..

your problem leaford needs some more thought.. he he he

dont know what was initial case of loosing the contact..maybe that its not a "too tightly fixing" but in my case for sure it was a problem with the contact on the center part. (cleaning did nothelp)

I had a similar problem with my first Janty. The one battery would only work on manual switch and would not work with the auto.
They told me to send it back and they replaced it

OK, I get it. So the contacts are slightly springy, and one got pushed in a bit. ANd since the switch still works with other batteries, it's probably the battery contact that got pushed in, not the switch contact, does that sound right?

all i know is the inner contacts do get pushed and the pressure on them lessens.. the outer part cant fail to make contact.. the inner part does rely on the part being slightly springy.. if it isnt there is gap left on the outer part.. the outer part governs how far it screws in.. the inner part needs to stick up a bit but be springy to move in a little so as there isnt a visible gap..

a variation (how far the center parts stick up) from one battery to another and the same with the atomizers does exist..
