Eleaf istick connector poll

[four2109]

There are several members with connector problems on their eleaf istick. It seems to be a small percentage but enough for vendors to address, or not. This is just an attempt to determine how many members are having problems with the device.

No thread problems as I decided to use the 510-ego adapter from the start and not take any chances. Protank with beauty ring

I have an istick in my cart as we speak. I feel like I need to keep an eye on this poll before I "checkout". Disappointing to hear there's issues..

I think they are rare considering the number sold. You might want to buy from a vendor that will stand by their product though. I bought from ebay and am really glad I got a good unit and didn't have to deal with Vapeoutlet again.
That's why I did the poll. There are some, but we don't know how many.

I have another B&M to stop by tomorrow to check prices etc. I have the Istick in my cart on smoke evolution. I know nothing of ordering these online so hopefully all will be well.

I've had mine a little over a month and have had no problems.

Guess I'll be the first to post bad connector but usable with 510 to ego to keep from getting worse.

No thread issues, have not used the ego adapter and I just snug the tank onto the stick. On occasion I gently pry the battery terminal up with a toothpick for better connectivity.

We'll have to copy this forward as the thread grows. Stosh's poll got lost. If you only get one page of votes, it's kind of a waste. I may put this in my sig, ...maybe not.

Have only had mine for a week and the only time it showed no atomizer was once the second day but I also noticed that a tank leaked a drop of juice on top of the connector. Once I wiped it clean I have not had any issues since.

I have 2 iSticks. one good n one with "scratchy" threads. I lubed scratchy and its a lot better but im very careful with it now. didnt have the scratchy option in ur survey also, I have one atty with a long connector, one with a short connector, others with spring loaded pins. I've had to pry up the iSticks 510 pin more than once - very carefully. iStick could definately use a spring loaded 510.

NO, I didn't include 'scratchy" threads. I'm still not quite sure what it means unless it refers to threads that have metal particals left on them. I'm guessing you still posted that your's were not fine and working as it should. So the poll results should be OK.

I have 2 ISticks. I am having threading issues with one of them. It's about a month old. It was fine until I took it to the beach and a few grains of sand got in it Being on vacation, I didn't clean it up like I should have. Now, my nautilus minis won't screw on at all, but my Aerotank V2 and Mega.will. Lesson learned-don't take it to the beach!

 

[DaveOno]

Gotta love a thread about threads.

(sorta like having a meeting about meetings...)


Not sure how to vote. Mine were sloppy out of the box, but not degrading that I notice, but still working.

 

[Thayamax]

I have 2 isticks and both connectors are working fine. I tighten my toppers until they're just lightly snug as I do with all my devices. So far so good.

 

[olscratchy]

I am having issues,,I have to loosen some tanks or I get an "atomizer low" or "atomizer short" message

Taking the same approach.

MrsMac, it's BT2 again. If you buy at a B&M, you could open it up right there and check that you got good threads....and no worries. I personally order almost everything online with about 95% success. If I got an istick with poor threads out of the box, I'd return it without trying my own fix.

The material is soft, so I am just careful when threading on my toppers.

All that said I still highly recommend this device. I am a noob myself, and this little istick has been worlds above the VV ego device I was using before. I think this manufacturer has probably turned out the occasional dud, but you'll find that's true of many different mods..... Most are much higher priced.

Do your homework till you are totally confident that this is the best for you. That's what I did....I watched this thread for a month before pulling the trigger on the istick. Hope you find what suits your needs!
