Great news! Thanks Jeff!!! (and just in the nic of time I must say. Bless you!)
-
I second that! The coiled wire sings for me. Would something like this work on my JantyeGo or do I have to match mah's and volts and all that techie stuff?
-
My question is: Do I have to "empty" my JantyeGo battery completely before recharging? (it came partially charged, and I had to top it off, per usual scenario. Now it's got a few hours on it and I have to go home and I hoped to top it off first before I go so that I'll start the hibernating with 2 fully charged batteries). I need this answered Yesterday! if possible. Thanks! (sorry for the hurry, but please hurry, I gotta go soon).

Today--the battery lasted for 11 hours .. consisting of 3 second drags on avgerage, with a few 5's and a few 2's. I also refilled the cart completely 2x. How many hits per hour? I couldn't tell you at this point. A cig is 15 hits x 50 per day on avg which equals 750 hits per day, or 300 puffs per pack. I am averaging ... hit hit hit, pause 3 mminutes, hit, pause 1 minute, hit hit, pause 10 minutes, hit hit hit hit hit, hit pause... lol. I have no clue as to how many hits per cart nor how many hits per battery. That will be a fun challenge for another day... or for someone else altogether. OHHH, you can post here if you'd like!! It'd be fun to see the stats from various styles of vaporers. Tomorrow, I'll be gone, but I bet it'll be 5 second drags on avg, with an 8 hr battery, and 4 complete refills. Will see, but not tell, until ... summer when the weather lets up enough to let us drive on our road. lol. Enjoy the weather where you are, and stay safe. PS. RY4 and Apple go good together. (my opionion today, but we'll see tomorrow).

Thanks, good to hear. The reason I asked for the SB is because the BB has a potential for the problem only to people like me. (what's that 1% who have to be extra careful lol). Glad to hear the SB can keep in on my list of top 1000 lol. Thanks for not taking my questions as criticism. I am a fact fanatic... not an opinion maker... but at times my facts get confoozled and neeed a good cleaning. Thanks! and once again, Congrats on your purchase!

aha, here's the funny guy.. Mr. Smokification1 ...

Good question. Anything that is "white white bright" has probably been bleached... and that's scarey. One would have to make an organic search? I don't have a clue on that. On the other hand, with the Fluval, it seems really safe because after all it is used for a living breathing creature. Fish can't handle anything toxic. Come to think of it, when we have to patch up a leaky water trough for the animals, we use Aquarium glue stuff, because it's the only non-toxic glue that we know of off hand that is safe for drinking water. I would go with the Fluval. But... how did they get it blue? Man, what a great question you posed. This one's a toughie to research.

Great review and a wonderful choice!! That SB was high on my list, and still is. How is that fantastic button? Love that button. I worry that it might not match my lifestyle though (please don't take this as criticsm, it's a personal worry for a personal way of life is all), because of fine hay and tons of pet hair (horses, cats, dogs, cows, probably even the dang fish) and dust and stuff possibly getting clogged under it somehow? Please let us know what you think for the backwoods type of living. (so different from you clean carwash city type folk). I've heard nothing but good too, and that was my only question with it. (oh, and battery life/drop off??? how does it perform to the last puff on that charge? Important only to folks like me who have to run out in the rain every 2 or 4 hours and change the battery or start the car so the car battery won't die. Once again, no criticsm, just curious). Congrats on your purchase!!
-
Thanks Dave, me too... but it looks like it'll be a series of woppers... which means I'll see ya all again next summer sometime lol. Here's the backwoods bible: http://www.weather.gov/ahps/ (Noaa's Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service). We'd be stranded without their predictions. (which are usually pretty darn close to what happens). It's now 12:30 noon the next day and I've had only 3 cigs again. Usually it would be at leas 20 with my morning rituals. (4-6 per hour). The only reason I lit up the first one was because the ecig was actually too strong at first. For those worried about mellow yellow, put your worries aside honey. I travelled with it today, and didn't need a real cig at all the whole time! I even learned how to use it more comfortably on our bumpy dirt/mud/rut/ road. (just needed to puckerup first thing) Last night I finally got the 3-5 second drags down pat. wow. With a fresh filled cartridge, the excessive vapor (for me, a beginner) was delightful, amazing, yummmy, but also kind of wasted. In time I'm sure I won't waste a single cloud. For me, at this point with the 3 second toke), the fully filled cart's GRAND vapor will be for an hour or two, then the next 2 hours or more are more like the regular types of vapor puff that we see on many videos. yeah. That nice of a cloud at first. Imagine how a direct drip would be! The battery does indeed charge in only 2 hours, just like the posters have mentioned. All in, it's everything everybody has said about it. For reviews, be sure to check the other posters out. My thread is a learning curve thread only. Notes: Trying to vape right has been interesting. Then I remembered that funny guy... Mr. Smokes(?)... and I pretended I was him.. and voila! lol. Play with that milkshake straw my friend, and the right vape sip will happen, it really will. edited to add a PS. P.S. Even at the last of the battery life/charge I get a FULL cloud of vapor as long, of course, as my cart is fresh full... a regular cloud if cart is used.... a small wispy cloud when empty and time to refill. (but still a cloud, just a thin wispy one).
-
From my research... the Prodigy had the problem with the wired switch. The ProdigyV2 however, is a NON-wired switch... it rocks. And it's a 5.v sweet spot vape. And it has a drip well to catch the liquid... and it's even a reasonable price!! I would have seriously considered it if it was also a 3v option. (3v and 5v). I don't remember the battery life, but being a 5v, it's probably about 4-6 hours... and I don't know the consistantsy of the battery life, but I haven't heard complaints about drop off,... but then again, I've been busy researching so many of them I'm probably confoozeled beyond help at this point anyway. But, rest assured, it's an okay buy, especially if you already have a 3.5v for your main vape. edited to assure the others that they're dead on too, I didn't mean to imply otherwise.
-
Nice to meet you too!! That's the same here too... more good reviews than bad. I think the LED is to see how much juice is in the bottle? I could be wrong of course. Definitly worth the purchase for someone who's on the go alot. I still agree with the beginner/novice/advanced user friendliness though, and personally will refrain from buying one until I'm more experienced. (hurry up tomorrow!!! )
-
It's now 9:30pm and the battery has left the building. But not to worry, it's on the charger and the next one is on my atty. If I added right, that's a total of 15 hours. Light, 2 second drags. (avg.. sometimes heavier). Not too shabby! My RY4 is the 18mg and is strong enough for me at this time. I don't know what strength the prefilled carts are, but probably the 18mg. I almost wish I'd started with an even lighter mg. Tomorrow I might wish it were a stronger mg. The Apple I got is a 36mg and the kick feels lighter than the RY4 18mg. Weird! Probably because of the light flavor of the apple itself. Kind of refreshing. I wonder what strength I should order the Cappuchino in.
-
It's now 8:30. I did a no no and babied the last of my cart. The vapor slowed down a bit, I knew it needed a filling. Sure enough, after checking, the fluffy stuff is now white. With a pair of tweezers I pulled the fluffy stuff out of the cart, and squeezed it onto the paper towel until dry. I then grabbed my other flavor, APPLE, and dropped 10 drops into the empty cart. Next I gently shoved the fluffy back into the cart and topped it off one drop at a time as it soaked each drop. It took 10 more drops! (maybe my drops are smaller than your drops, thinner, thicker, I don't know, but I do know that that's how much it took of my Appla ejuice from Jantyworld). I then put eGo back together again and wow is she vaping powerfully again. The Apple is a bit lighter funner flavor, and I can drag a 3 second pull now. I'm sure now I'll go through that battery and possibly cart faster. We'll see. Battery still strong... cart refilled.... longer drags now being taken... (but certainly not long as in 5+ second drags).
-
haha, couldn't resist. glad you liked it!
-
At 5:00 I topped off my cart.. dropped 4 drops into the cart individually letting each drop soak before adding another. I could still have added another, it was not puddled, just kind of damp looking. When my battery dies, I want to take the cart off, take the stuffing out, drop in 5 drops or so, then put the stuffing back in and top off as needed. I think Igetcha (Scott for Totally Wicked ejuices) has the video on that. It's been 13 hours, and the battery is still going strong! (10:00 pm -12:30pm last night) and 1 analog before retiring. 8:00am - 6:30pm and still going strong. I topped off cart at 5:00 when I craved an analog. All better from the topping.
-
I'm on my 13th hour as I type. (I do inhale lightly at this learning curve point in my life, but even so... )
-
DLynne... you don't give yourself enough credit. Your research is outstanding, and very trustworthy. I wish your eGo posts were all compiled into a thread for easy reference. (hint hint).
-
The CJB, Carlos Juice Box, is not recommended for inexperienced vaporers. It's too easy to flood the atty? It's too easy to get the ejuice into your mouth? It's too easy to burn out the system/atty without an LED light? Please research and ask questions on all the forums to find the specific reasons. Good luck!
-
aha, a thought here. Have you tried Ms T's yet? http://www.mstsbakery.com/ why eat it when you can vape it.
-
Thanks guys! It's a big relief that it's okay enough to follow. At noon, I went into a big couphing fit... the kind that twists your gut and cramps your whole torso. I've had these many times in the past, usually when I've tried to cut back on smokes. I went ahead and lit an analog, (sheesh, where's the vapor on those analogs???!), took an Alavert (allergy pill), and all was well in 2 minutes flat. Haven't had a fit since and it's now been 3.5 hours since an analog... and I'm not even craving one!!! I can't believe this is me saying this. This has never been me. Nothing has ever worked for me. Weird how my second post came out longform... I copy/pasted from my notepad. All is well that ends well though.
-
Nice! Thanks. I'll go sign up so I can read it.

Change. 1. Already things have changed around the house. Now instead of running and hiding or calling 911 when I go into a couphing fit.... my family breaks out laughing hysterically! 2. Instead of wrinkling their nose and turning away from me and making me go outside.... my family follows me around the house exclaiming how nice I smell. Sweet! Now, on to my chaotic notes I've jotted down since the pkg arrived. My apologies if they don't make sense, are too confusing, or just plain too dumb for you. January 16 and 17th. Ladies: you won't mistake it for your mascarra if set side by side, because it's smaller and thinner. (at least with my brands of mascarra). yuban coffee with coffeemate tastes great with Janty eGo prefilled Ry4 carts, ... plus primer from a previous dumb mistake. Went 2 hrs without analog even while enjoying my morning coffee. Normally, I would have puffed at least 8 analogs by then. (sad but true). With primer from a previous dumb mistake, and the Ry4 , my analog (2 hrs later!!!!) tasted the same. Just a tad bit "fuller" because I'm a 2 second vapor inhaler so far and not a 5. Found myself at the door with analog in one hand and eGo in the other. Left, right, left, right... and laughed so hard! I lit the analog out of "habit", not out of desire, and I didn't even realize I had lit it. It tasted like my eGo! Couldn't wait to extinquish it and sit back down comfortably in the house and vape. A manual with pictures would be helpful for brain dead newbies like self. (also for gifts we give to others who know nothing. Not everyone has a computer believe it or not). I knew what to expect... 2 batteries, 2 attys (i had purchased an extra in case i destroy my first in my learning curves), 1 attty cover, 1 wall charger + the usb charger. Yet, when I opened box... I went blank. It was all "too new of an experience". I forgot I had an extra battery and therefore I tried to figure out how to attach a battery to a battery and where in the hell does the cart go... thank goodness our youngest has a brain. He figured it out. Note: the attys were in little boxes, I "knew" those were the attys... yet... I went blank. I am not unusual. There are many people like me, with one disorder or another. People like us need walk through pictures. The battery came mostly charged, only took 1/2 hour to top to green. Note: The green is on the battery end of the charger... the wall part stays red. I didn't "know" if the wall part turns green too or not. Would be nice if instructions were more precise for non techies like self. The manual is itsy bitsy.. need a youngster or reading glasses. It also only skims the info ... which is great for experienced vaporers but not so great for newbies like self. LED lights up finger, as stated by others, in a neat red glow. But in daylight it's difficult to see even when cupped with other hand. If one has a hearing problem, it might be difficult to learn the "feel" when outdoors. Practice indoors until you know the "feel"... and there really is a "feel" to it. Getting fewer gurgle noises already. (means I'm dragging it better). Love the way it stands straight up on the table/desk. My priming mistake mentioned a few times earlier? I remembered to blow out the atty first onto a papertowel until the paper was dry. But I didn't realize that the cart inside it was holding the primer juice. Thinking the cart was a "prefilled cart" I lit it up. Not too bad though believe it or not. Lots of vapor and a whopper couph too. An hour later, it vaped less so I opened it and added 3 drops of ry4 liquid. Tons of vapor. Then it wouldn't vape... it turned blue light right away. So I opened the cart and tried to add more but couldn't really see inside with our dim lighting. So we got the flashlight out and lo and behold there was no stuffing in it! It was empty completly. That's when it hit me.... d'oh,... that was a "primer cartridge". Okay, I got it now, I understand now. I opened a RY4 cart, inserted it, and didn't blow the atty because, well, I kinda like the primer lol, and the primer makes the analog taste the same which helps take away the craving for "better flavor". (My tastebuds will improve in time, and then I'll hate the primer like the experienced vaporers do, I'm sure). It's been vaping nicely ever since. There is a slight scent... probably from the primer... and the family loves that scent. No kidding. Long story short: the eGo protected me from ruining it. Sweeeet! But a manual, complete with primer cart pics and stuff sure would be nice for the next newbie. It's very comfortable to hold. The button is comfortable to press.... addicting to press.... We hooked up a black and decker inverter in my jeep so we can charge the wall charger. The pickup's cig charger will still charge the cell phone for now. The eGo only takes 2 hours to fully charge, so we should be fine battery/charge wise for now. I'll know more at the end of next week because a big storm is heading our way today/tomorrow. Need big pics... (1.) charge battery. (2). take atty out of box. (3.) pull the primer cart off of the new atty by holding each end of the long stem and pulling. (4.) place a papertowel in your hand and blow through the atty onto the papertowel until it is dry. (5.) open your new PREFILLED WITH YUMMY RY4 cart that you see in the clear wrapping. (6.) Insert into atty. (7). twist atty onto now charged battery (8). lightly twist the cover on to it. (the cover is attached to one of the batteries that came with the kit. unattach it, charge up the battery). (9). Press the button and prime puff without inhaling for about 5 times (like a cig that didn't light right and you had to puff puff puff to get it "going" so that you could then puff and inhale. Well, except , with the eGo it WILL be going... just don't inhale yet) .. and then take long slow drags (no gurgle from device), let a little out, inhale, then exhale. Start off with a 1 or 2 second drag... increasing the length as you become accustomed to the hit. Drag on it like a straw in a milkshake, where you can still breathe while drawing in the vapor. I couphed with the first deep drags... (3 second). I'm a 2 second dragger for now. QUESTIONS: 1. how do i type one handed?

First off, I have never smoked/Vaped an electronic cigarette ever before. I am totally new to this. I am a newborn. Second off, I love my new eGo. The Janty eGo too. I watched videos, I read reviews, and How-to's, and met wonderful inspiring folk. I felt completely ready to order, assemble, and start vaping. I have no idea if all e-cig company MANUALS are the same or how much they vary. But, even with my online education, I felt the company could have provided a better manual. I have memory/learning problems. I'm not alone in the world. I need pics. Every step of the way Pics. Please take note companies... I am not criticizing you or putting you down...I am requesting help/guidance. Now, for the thoughts I've written down so far. I consider this more as a journal than a review. Feel free to yawn and disappear. hmmmm, I'll start a 2nd post so I can delete it when i realize how stoopid it is.

Oh you Lucky Bum you! I can't wait to hear your take on it. Hurry Carlos, hurry!
