An "Oh Well". Love it.
I did a Build with Ti for a Subtank but the build came kinda High Ohm Wise. About .42 Ohms. And the Results were So-So. I have heard others mention that the iStick TC seems to like Lower Builds. More in the .25 Ohm or lower. Seemed like I had to Run the Temperature Higher than I normally would with a Ti Build.
I then did a .18 Ohm build with Ni200. It seemed to work Better. Once again, I seemed to be running the Temp Higher than I would for Ni200.
But I only can Compare things to One Other TC Mod. A Kangxin VF Mini.
So I have decided to wait for the GS-tank that is supposed to Arrive next week before I pass any Judgment on how well the TC works. The GS-tank comes with .15 Ohms Ni200 heads.

Did you receive an Envelope with Wire in it Yesterday?
Gonna be our guinea pig?
Well...after all the "Pooper joviality"...I almost feel like I HAVE to order one...
Picked up three little bitty mods under $100 this week. An iStick TC40W, an EHPRO SPD A5, and a 30 Watt JoyeTech eGrip OLED.
In fact, I snagged all 3 for less than $100!

After just over 2 full days of use, I'm liking it. It's lightish, feels durable, and kinda grippy. The TC function appears to be spot on... I built a .25 ohm Ni200 coil in my Lemo and set it to 450 and vaped through 2 tanks with no issues at all. The screen is a beaut! Big and very bright. The battery door is different, but works fine. The buttons are plastic, but there's no shake. It powers all the way off after 15 minutes idle, so occasionally, I'll take a pull and nothing's there, but the battery life is improved, so..
I've only had the eGrip for about 5 hours. Enough time to vape a full 3.6 ml.And I'll be curious as to your thoughts on the eGrip, Shawn.
It ships as a 20 W device. From a powered off state, clicking the power button 30 times upgrades the firmware to 30 W. Woot!
Mine has the older CS base. Bummer. The newer CL base will take the old CS heads as well as the new CL (eGo ONE) heads. No worries, though... I ordered the RBA base.
The draw is a little tight... even with the screw open all the way (and dropped and forever lost). It's definitely a tootle-puffer mod. Fortunately, I switch hit!
I am thoroughly confused.
Joyetech's own Facebook page states that there are two distinct Egrip models (CS & CL) with each model being compatible solely with their respective atomizer head (ie. The CS or CL).
In other words, the CS version of the Egrip is NOT compatible with the CL head and vice-versa.
Yet the description for the Sweet Vapes Egrip CL states that in fact the CL version is in fact compatible with both the CS & CL atomizer heads.
Can anyone please clarify?

PBusardo was pretty positive about the TC 40W istick. I was surprised, makes me think about buying one.
Loving it. It's got most of the shape of the iStick 30, the power (almost) of the DNA 40, and the price of the iStick mini.
What's not to love?
The eGrip OLED CS and eGrip OLED CL are identical EXCEPT for the removable base. By compatible, I'm guessing they mean you can buy the CS base (not included with the CL kit) and use CS heads as you please.
Honestly, you're probably better off with the 1.0 ohm Ego One CL heads... they're solid and last a long time. An advantage to the CL base is that you can also buy the CL-R heads and rebuild your own coils without the need for a separate base.
The eGrip will fire fine down to 0.5 ohms, too, so if you want to use the 0.5 ohm CL or CL-R coils, you can. Be aware that the eGrip airflow is nowhere near what the Ego One offers, so while they'll work, you won't be able to ramp the wattage up really high. It's a 30 watt VW mod, though, so it should be fine. The CL base certainly gives you options for coils. You can always buy a replacement CS base later if you feel like poking with those coils, too.
