I think we need to STOP recommending a Istick 50

[Ohm Gnome]

I know some won't like this but until eleaf, ISMOKA fixes the widespread problems plaguing the 50 watt istick it's reckless to advise new vapers to buy it. I mean we know what it can do. I personally have a bad one. It's dangerous. I just think we would serve the rookies better by recommending a proven product. Sure you can get a lemon with any company but eleaf is serving lemons by the bushel.

Eleaf USA response to Istick 50W catching fire. : electronic_cigarette

Sooooo this was in the last 19 days. Can we start recommending them now?

 

[hurricanegirl100]

No, Margate, we can't. Who knows how many made it out to vendors before they implemented the upgrade? I would never advise anyone, newbie or otherwise, to purchase an Eleaf anything.

Mehhhh I use a Lemo 2. Great product!

 

[stormjib]

first batch was bad, problem is fixed now. i see no reason to hate on the company. you think you need to STOP recommending? fine, STOP. people still buy smok m80's, i'd never suggest them. it's not like we decide what people buy or don't buy.

 

[Sir2fyablyNutz]

I have 2 of the iStick 50W and love them. They work perfectly. So the haters out there...have you owned one?

 

[Margate69]

In that case, just mention that you should only purchase them from Eleaf, not from third party online suppliers. The number of people recommending people getting things from Fasttech is obscene. Why is the price of something "Made in USA" cheaper, when it has to ship from China? Because it probably isn't made in the US.

To be fair, I'll recommend skydiving without a parachute before recommending a protank, but that is my personal problems with Kanger products.

I smell deep, deep hatred of Eleaf in here.

Well sure Margate if you're in charge of quality control and you replace all the bad ones including mine. Then hop in your car and go in every BM and take the old stock . Then get on a plane and around the world taking old stock. Or do you assume they're all honest and won't sell old stock. That is if they even read what you linked which I doubt since some shops don't know there are v2s and so on of their other products. Once you do all that come on back here and let us know. Then I'll say ok we can start recommending them now lol

 

[yuseffuhler]

I think I posted yesterday that I'd never recommend one again lol. Good call Jason, and I definitely agree.

 

[freeall]

Yeah, but they're " cheaper " than most mods! Everyone likes cheap stuff, right!? People want to spend as low as possible to get off cancer sticks! Why get a mod with a better reputation, when I can get an istick for less!?

...sarcasm.

Get a Provari. Heh.

 

[Frenchfry1942]

In an opinionated difference, the answer is usually found in the middle.

Jason, I see you're a "rookie".
What's "bad" about your battery?
Do you mind explaining "bad". Thank you.
I have been vaping for a LONG time, for like 7 years.
Used a lot of different batteries, now the Istick, and I'm sticking to it, better than the provari, I tried them all.

 

[motordude]

Can't.......we.......all......just get along.

Depends what day it is.

 

[pennysmalls]

I don't even know what an istick is. Ignorance is bliss in this case!

Easy man, the ipv 4 has also had to recall and change the charge ports from fire risk

Several companies have admitted to not using the correct port for the higher power models of their devices

before attacking people do a bit of research

Forums around the world are discussing this


forum.totallywicked-eliquid.com/totally-wicked-news/istick-50w-statement/

And eleaf is in total cooperation. There not even denying it

 

[DanJiblets]

I have one and prefer it over my mvp 3. I'm gonna buy another one. Can't beat the price and performance. Great product with lots of issues that I wasn't even aware of. 95% of new vapers will buy one because they probably don't lurk of forums and hear about these issues. It sucks but problems arise with all electronics.

Lol. Ok I'm inferior. My Istick started with the fire button sticking. Then automatically firing. I had it 36 days. I never dropped it. I didn't drip or use any RBA on it so there was no leaking juice on it. I only used a Nautilas Mini and Atlantis 1 and neither of those leak, Since you say I'm a rookie did I make a rookie mistake by calling it bad ? I mean would you consider that bad, good or usual? I bought it because I was recommended to. I don't hate the company. I have a Mini Istick that still powers my Nautilas Mini fine. But I can't recommend something like this. Lot of people take advice and go buy something in a BM because they are anxious to get started. So I feel like we shouldn't recommend it. People do everyday and people wind up like I have being ignored by a company that doesn't seem to care

 

[WillyZee]

Even if they were free ... I wouldn't use or recommend one.

 

[dionysuskiss]

I already have stopped. Although there are many happy 50watt owners out there, it's too hit and miss right now. I own one and the fire button stuck a couple of times. I now await an ipv4 black.*sigh* I have no luck with mod these days.
