Does anyone know where to buy one of these?

Edit: Answered my own question. There is a seller on eBay that carries them (rjm_cols). Doesn't list parts, just starter kits and carts. So, I will post a new question... who sells atomizers and batteries for the JOYE302?

Thanks!

TechZero

I am that seller on ebay and I do have a few atomizers & batteries for sale..

xMarlboroMan

Woohoo! That is good to know. I just purchaed the starter kit yesterday (from you), so I am glad you have spare parts too .

Thanks!

P.S. It is always nice to see a new seller. Hopefully eBay won't remove your listings. That is at leasts what people were claiming awhile back; ebay removing ecig listings.

PUFFDADDY

Isnt this where Njoy gets there cigs from?!?!

xMarlboroMan

Not sure. I was trying to find out who make Njoy's NCig earlier today. I do know that Joye makes Janty's.

Got my Joye302 from eBay seller rjm_cols just about a half an hour ago. Charging up the battery, so as soon as that is done I will post my initial thoughts.

xMarlboroMan

Ok, well I am sitting at home enjoying my freshly charged Joye302 and I must say, I am VERY impressed! This might be my new favorite e-cigarette! Yes, it is that good.

For a bit of background information, Joye Tech makes Janty's electronic cigarettes. In fact, Joye Tech claims the 302 comes off the same assembly line as the Janty Classic.

My starter kit came with 1 atomizer, 2 batteries, 10 carts, wall charger, US plug, instructions and a nice green box complete with magnetic lid . I purchased this for approximately $47 including shipping from eBay seller rjm_cols. Unfortunately, Janty doesn't sell the plain 'ol classic anymore, so I can't compare price. The new line, Janty Kissbox Classic sells for about $97+s/h. Only real difference (hardware bundle wise) is that the Kissbox comes with a separate manual switch and a separate automatic switch. As far as I know, the Joye302 is compatible with the Kissbox, but don't quote me on that.

First thing I noticed was how easy the draw was and how much vapor it produced. Wow! TONS OF VAPOR and so easy to inhale. It is complimented with a nice throat hit to boot. This blows my RN-4072 out of the water. It is so light a draw that even the slightest breath will turn it on. This can be a bad thing since I tend to bite the tip and hold the ecig in my mouth. Breathing normally (without the intention to inhale) will activate it.

The second thing I noticed is that it made my ejuice taste so much better. I have been saying all along that my Janty Red Cow liquid has a strawberry flavor. Well, it might actually be cherry, LOL... (my tastes buds aren't what they used to be folks). At any rate, the flavor was outstanding.

However, it quickly became apparnt that the Joye302 sucks juice like no other. I think I put 3 or 4 drops in when I left work and by the time I got home it had already petered out. My DSE-901 is the same way, but my RN-4072 will vape all the way from door to door without ever getting weak. I did only put juice in the 302 with the blank cart (no wool), so this might change if I were to drip into the atomizer and top off a cart. But then again, my RN-4072 only has a blank cart in it as well. This thirst for juice might be due to the fact that it is so easy to inhale.

Another downside is that once the juice starts to get dry, you can really taste the atomizer (metallic/sulfuric taste). This is pretty common with ecigs, and there might be some break in period on the atomizer. One final note though, the atomizer made a pretty audible sizzling sound. It has pretty much calmed down right now, but it was pretty apparent. I'm not that worried about it. Generally this will go away with use.

I wasn't planning on this post being a full blown review, but I have so much to say about my new found love . In fact, one of the first things I tried was to see if my RN-4072 batteries fit. They sure do. Although, I don't know the specs on either of the batteries, so I would not recommend swapping batteries out. I didn't try screwing in the 302 battery to the 4072 charger or vise versa either. The 4072 is only rated at 100mA, while the 302 charger is rated at 200mA. So, I would recommend using only the appropriate charger with the appropriate battery.

My poor little 'ol 4072 might get docked to strickly usb passthrough work from now on. OH, that reminds me. The atomizer does get hot fairly quickly. Not as quick as my 901, but quicker than my 4072. It sits somewhere in the middle.

Overall, for the price and performance of the Joye302, I would recommend this over the DSE-901; even for beginners. My only concern would be the availablity of replacement parts. The eBayer I purchased from does sell the parts, but not a lot of other places do.

EDIT: I should also make a note that the size of the Joye302 is not 108mm. My unofficial measurement was about 153-154mm. Right in range with every other penstyle. I have no idea if they used to be 108mm and the increased the size of the battery or what. However, Joyetech.com still lists the 302 as 108mm.

Primus

hmm, I may have to look into getting one of these.

xMarlboroMan

I must say, I'm very impressed with it. (Did I already say that above)?.... Anyway, it smokes like a dream. I will probably (someday) get a kissbox manual switch for it and see if that fits. On the downside, one of my batteries is freakin' out! I just tap it and it lights up. I'm guessing its a stuck switch. Doesn't really affect performance at all. It eventually turns itself off. I am hoping this will fix itself over use. Oh, and one other point... my first battery died in about 2 hours use. I was using it constantly though, so not sure if this is normal for this type of battery or not.

Those are all pretty insignificant compared to performance. It simply rocks!

I have seen them on amazon.com, over a month ago.

neonfrog

The more the light stays on the quicker the battery burns out, and needs to be replaced.

VanguArd

now THIS is freakin awesome. that's like exactly what i'm looking for but i'm sure it cost a lot, am i right?

berger

Not really..make sure to check the dates on the left hand side..penn styles are still around butnot very popular...egos are where its all at now for a norm

RY4

egos, rivas, or those style batts are very durable and dependable. Would be a good starting point IMO for those just beginning to vape. Has really good battery life with regular cartos.

Steampunk

There's also a DSE-801 which is similar, but has one of the HARSHEST atomizers I have ever tried.

VanguArd

Pen styles are bigger than the size of an "analog" cig right? if so then i change my mind...

Steampunk

Yeah, pens are pretty big, but they have big atomizers and really throw out the steam.

VanguArd

hmm, automatic mind changer lol, i dont like big bulky things. *thinks in head* "that's what she said!"

Steampunk

I've tried a lot of stuff out there. The 801 would be my favorite except that the steam is HARSH!. If it were a little mellower it would be a great device. But yeah, you ain't gonna 'stealth' it!

VanguArd

understood, but good thing i'm not worrying about being a ninja, huh? lol
