Eleaf istick connector poll

[pbxbelmar]

I got one, no problems, love it! Got the second one and the ego adapter threading is bad. Cleaned it with alcohol on a qtip and the cotton got stuck in the ratty threads. Bought two airflow adapters and screwed them into the 510. Thread problem solved. Now I can use the ego adapter from the good one if I want to use my ego tanks.

My 2 are 60 days old. Both were fine for 3 weeks when I took the poll. Since then the threads are becoming loose and sloppy, there is a metal residue each time I wipe off the connector on my Kayfuns, and I have had to raise the Istick connector pin several times to maintain any connection.

I find a round toothpick works well for this after removing the sharp point. Every single device I have bought thus far has some fubar aspects that eventually renders them useless.

Asking for American made vape goods is obviously asking too much. I don't want the Cadillac of vape gear, but is wanting at least a Hyundai asking too much?
I can almost hear the laughter from the chinese suppliers whenever I order anything new.

Mine's been totally fine. I've removed and reattached my Nautilus Mini many, many times.

I have had mine for a little over 2 weeks. So far everything is good. All threads work as they should.

I've had mine for a little over a week now, and no issues thus far. I'm useing the 510-ego adapter with a Nautilus mini and the beauty ring.

Had mine about two months and i can no longer screw my aerotank in all the way. If i do it won't fire. Is there a fix?

 

[Tonythefiddler]

Ugh mine are bad.. Have 3 mvps and 2 isticks and my rda has to be very specifically screwed on and barely fires... I've true bringing it up with a screwdriver works for a bit. So the new mvp 20 says "spring loaded connecter" would that be much better? Sick of it not working I'm getting really frustrated.

I've been using one as my main device for a couple of months. I wasn't sure how well the threads would stand up to repeated screwings of attys into the istick so I purchased a Bending Adaptor online (now widely available) which screws into the unit and stays there. On this I use a 501/ego adaptor for slim mini attys and add a conical beauty ring with a broader Atty. This saves the threads, gives stray juice an easy to clean place to go, adds the folding function for easy pocket storage and looks fantastic. The bending adaptor is a must-have for the iStick and would probably also work well with other box devices where the threads are close to the edge of the device.

Re:,Skinny30 and the eLeaf/atty problem.

I had the same problem with some Protanks on the istick. I found that the attys centre (+) pin was protruding too far out and shorting or partially shorting to ground when the Atty was fully threaded in. What worked for me was to gently push the atty centre pin in or sometimes ease out until I find the right position which gives the right resistance when the atty is screwed in correctly. This may help with your atty.. The istick does not have an adjustable pin but you can adjust the pin on the included adaptor and you can often adjust the pin on the base of the atty too. Adjustments here usually completely remove the need to have attys loose when using them.

The iStick does not have an "included adapter"...you have to buy it. Second, the bending adapter is a spring loaded pin, not an "adjustable" pin.

Mine came with a 510/ego adapter in the box. There is a "simple kit" that comes with the istick, the adapter but no charger.

Hi MarkDec. Let me explain. The istick comes with a simple screw-in 501 to ego adaptor (which DOES have a slightly adjustable pin.) I also own the bending adaptor (of course this has a sprung pin or else it wouldn't work!) which I purchased separately. I have the Bender permanently screwed into the eleaf threads. I then have the INCLUDED 501 to ego adaptor screwed into the Bender.. Then I can mount a mini protank neatly onto that or use a beauty ring with a full-sized protank. This looks great and works well to protect all threads without adding a lot of height or weight. It really is worth reading posts properly before you flame people. I am fairly new to the forum but I've been vaping for about five years and have at least some idea of what I am talking about.. I've reviewed the istick in several places online and it has been the only power source I've been using to vape for the last 6 to 8 weeks. I include a photo of my rig with a big Protank fitted - to show what I mean. Some will prefer to just screw an atty straight into the istick. I prefer this as it just works better.

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..

Half the people on here who knock the istick probably don't even own one. My one has always worked perfectly and I've used it all day every day for many weeks. There are known issues but you can completely avoid any risks if you know what you are doing . I recommend the stick 100%

 

[Fergie]

No issues with the 3 I have been using for quite a while now.

There are various sellers selling the iStick:
1: The iStick all by itself.
2. The iStick with ego adapter
3. The full kit, including iStick, ego adapter, USB cable and the wall charger adapter.

I have two both using Nautilus Mini on average tanks are removed 3 times a day for refill and threads are fine after nearly 2 months of exclusive use, needless to say I love the things.
All the other top end stuff Provari Poldiac are gathering dust, iStick is easy for me to use and fits nice in the hand and pocket.
I highly recommend this little bugger. I also believe threading problems are due to the fact that each manufacturer has its own or slightly different threading tools also some use stainless.
Its my opinion and believe iStick was designed around their own toppers, that's why I use Nautilus.
10 stars from me.

Sorry, thought you were talking about the "bending" adapter, not the standard adapter.

 

[markdek]

Sorry, thought you were talking about the "bending" adapter, not the standard adapter. The included adapter does not work w/ an RTA, nicely anyways. And pulling up or down on the pin is not what I call built in adjustment. The Bending Adapter works nice though.

Apparently I can't delete posts...oh well.

 

[KLR650Tagg]

I would like to see it all evolve to something like a large, and small quick release system of some sort. Push, turn, release. As long as the electrical and mechanical system was rock solid. I know there is already a standard, so who would be in for something like that?

 

[Hewhohoggs]

No issues with my threading yet. I do have a few loose buttons on it though!
