A comparison between the Janty Stick V2 and V3

[Rusty]

I agree Oldie - I like comparison reviews and Cat you really showed us a very good comparison between the two JSs - Great stuff :)

[Crossbow]

I can see that I'm going to have to give in and get one :lol:

[Mr Darcy]

nice review cat :)

[Cat]

I'll ask the fat lady if she will do more........hahaha

[Jackie]

If I were brave enough Cat I'd team up with you and we could do the two fat ladies. :D

Nice video, definitely hope to see more. :)

[hifistud]

See, it's the accent... lovely. Looks like mine's a version 2, then.

Thanks Cat, a great review :)

One thing I forgot to mention on that video, is that I was NOT using new atomisers, both were Janty Classics, throw away kind, and both more than 3 months old..

Hence not as much vapour. But I was inhaling plenty, hence, I keep using my old atties, till they really die...

If I do another, I will make bullet points, so I remember all these things.

I wanted to review the JS as a vaper, not as an informercial.

A PV is a personal thing, we all have our likes and dislikes, I like the stick, and have since I first bought one in June, but its not my only vape.

Jackie... two fat ladies doing a review sounds good to me... but I guess there would be more giggles than review...hahaa

To sum it up, the V3 is great for those who like the stick, but, these days, it's not my main vape.

I just love the big guns... even though I never vape at 6v.

Another discovery.......

I was looking through my atties in order to re do the video this morning, and I have found, that the fitting for the atty in the V2 has a distinct cross section, the V3 has not.

The result is, I have tried new atties, both from iVapour elixir and from TW, ( non Janty) and none of them will work in the V3

I have some Janty atties on order, so will re do the vid when I receive them.

Its not a positive that you can only use Janty Atomisers in this.

Good first review Cat, I like how you took your time, explained the differences well and nothing was rushed.

No, thats not good at all :(

[Jackie]

Wow that's terrible, and a huge negative for the V3. I imagine that would put a lot of people off buying one, I wonder if Janty are aware of this. If I get time later I'll have a read on their forum at the big place.

It is for Janty. Might it be by design?

[Crossbow]

If it is intentional, it would presumably be good for Joye, as the stick is available unbranded, and so are 302 atomisers.
I'd still consider it a bad thing - if only specific atomisers work, I won't be buying one

That all depends on how you look at it. I don't use itunes because of its proprietary nature, likewise I wouldn't buy anything Janty if that's the road they're heading down...

[Wryly]

Agreed. I like the Janty designs (and they used to claim to favour off-the-shelf batteries), but if this is in anyway indicative of the way they want to go, sod 'em.

[Cat]

If you look inside the V3 down into the atomiser shaft, you will see the fitting is different. I will try and get a photo later on. The fitting looks like a normal screw fitting. The V2 has a cross section cut in it. Now this obviously helps stop leakage problems, and changes the air flow hence a warmer, more flavourful vape.

I think I was wrong to say it will only use Janty atties, what I should have said is it will only use the Janty atties I have.....

I have loads of atties, TW and those iVapour-elixir sell, so far I have found one out of 12 that will work in it...

Yet every one of those atties works on my SB and GGT...

My daughter and I are going to try all her spare atties today and see how many work.

So although its not a fact that only Janty atties work.. it is a fact that out of 13 atomisers in my possesion, only 3 of them will work in my V3

[Crossbow]

However you look at it, those aren't good numbers though :(
