I just got mine yesterday. My buttons do not rattle. Been using it all day today....Vaped of 10 mils of juice in my Triton....worked flawlessly @40 watts. Battery life seems to be real good.
Get flat top and high quality. It IS a 100W mod. Sonys, Samsungs, LG. Minimum 20A batteries. See Mooch's blogs for battery tests.
I've read a ton of posts about mods with rattling buttons, but I thought people were being very picky or something until I got this 100W. Mine is like a pair of Maracas.
I don't see the big deal about the buttons especially at this price, mine rattle but only when purposely shaking it.
Only slight issue is neither of my STMs sit flush on it. Literately got it this morning and haven't tried anything else yet so I still have to see how my Lemos and rda's fit on it.

Yeah, my subtank plus doesn't sit completely flush either, there is an ever so slight gap that I can see between the atty and mod, tho atty is secure on it.
You're right, it is an inexpensive mod, but the lack of a rattle would have been nice and would have given it a higher level of quality feel to it.
Has anyone popped the top off this thing to see if maybe something could sure up the rattle on the power button? I don't have an allen wrench that small but the button is right below.
Makes me wonder if some 3M think tape cut in a smallish square could placed behind it. If they just would have used rubber button inserts this thing would be so solid

Someone said he tried to check, but the board is really hard to access so I said, oh well, its cheap, I'll live with all the noise. If the buttons fall apart, then I'll put in the effort, lol!

@duc916 took one apart, but couldn't get to the root of the rattle, post 36 in the thread.
Ahh I see. The button is rattling against the hole in the mod maybe. I think only removing the button and coating (maybe from back also) but the front edges with some rubber coating would quite it down. That's my theory but that is not practical. If there was a think edged rubber seal that could in to trim that hole that would help also, but again an odd long shot of figuring out what would work.
If they ever do a V2, rubber buttons eleaf, rubber buttons or rubber trim ring around button openings or a solid button for the win

Well, vapemail delivered yesterday, and I made sure to charge it overnight to balance the newer Sammy 25Rs with the onboard charger. I've been going at it mostly independent of other mods (took my REO when I left the house for an errand). I'm at hour #11 between 40W-70W between different coils and toppers. I'm showing a smidge of battery remaining. I'm not happy about that. I was sincerely hoping for ~16-18hrs out of the dual parallel batteries.
Will a dedicated pair of 10A 3000mah (20A-combined) power the boost circuit?

Hmm, mine is doing surprisingly well with battery life, even with the 2100mah of the vtc4s. I've run it consistantly at 60W since it arrived. It seems to be getting better battery life than my series wired Sig 100Ws. Interestingly though, my VF clone gets the worst battery life of all my dual battery mods, and its parallel and running the lowest power. It drives me nuts, to be honest. I can't even get through a 5ml tank with it. I am happy with the battery life of the istick.
This mod does not last as long as say a Sig 150 (which is series) IMO @ the 95 watt range. But what it does offer is on board charging which is pretty sweet. I only use in when I am in the area but man it is convenient.
The silicone sleeve will encase the buttons so I suspect if the mod just came with one in the box most would not care about the rattle so maybe they will include it down the road. This device for me is plenty of juice to run my Crown tanks.
So far battery life has been good for me. Using my rdna30(single lg hg2) at 20w the battery would just get me through the day. Now with the 100w running 20-25w I'm almost 2 days in and battery level is around 1/2.

Not gonna happen. Eleaf, iSmoka, or whatever is all about getting to 95% of a finished product... We tolerate it because it's cheap and it works, mostly... That last 5% is the chinciness you have to live with.

Just got a black one in the mail today. Rattle city over here. Love the door though. Might have to retire my mvp 3 pro for this. For $30 shipped i cant complain. Might become my everyday carry mod because its so cheap.
