My istick 50w is authentic . I love this thing. Yesterday it started auto firing and then died. I had it for 60 days. Never dropped it or remember juice leaking into it. I clean the pin every time I change tanks. Sent an email for replacement and hope for the best as I love it other wise. I also ordered a 30w for backup. Should have 90 day warranty according to seller.
contact your vender for professional suggestion would be better
it would be the istick 50w itself problem i think,

There is a warranty but it's designed more to only apply if you buy direct from Eleaf. They wouldn't replace mine after 36 days because I bought it from a shop who bought it from a distributor who bought it from ISmoka.
Strangely enough, my I stick was displaying low power with a half charge left on the indicator. My solution, I took it apart and reassembled it and works fine. Crazy right?
I picked up a broken Istick 50w because, well, I like to fix things and the opportunity presented itself. This unit was suffering from the "low power" error as well, complete with the funny little beep noise when trying to fire. I pulled the unit apart, and have to say, am not a big fan of the perpendicular connected printed circuit boards. Immediately I was suspicious of this connection so i put a little pressure on it while attempting to fire (be very careful if you troubleshoot this way, don't short anything out!) and what do you know, it's started firing! I broke the unit down a little further to get to the back side of this PCB connection and found the cracked solder joints pretty quickly. It was the 4 connections farthest from the firing button/atty connector. These are pretty tight tolerances, so you will need someone experienced at soldering with a fine tip soldering iron and steady hands. Once I re-flowed these 4 connections the unit started functioning like new!

4 day old istick 50w, using .5 ohm kanger mini tank, and out of nowhere, got a dry hit, and ohms and voltage shot up and started varying. Tried a 1.2 coil, and a new .5 coil, and same thing-way off. Too many stories of major malfunction. Someone is going to end up getting seriously hurt with these unstable units!
Did a lot of research before purchasing but was still a little worried if I would like it. I received it and i am extremely impressed. 4400 mah batteries allow me to vape for 2 days before having to charge. I run it with a kanger subtank mini. istick 50w For the price......you can't beat it!!!!
Myvaporstore has been phenomenal with prices and customer service!!! A+

So about an hour ago my 50w shut off randomly , I tried plugging it in with the charger and it still hasn't turned on yet. It worked perfectly 2-3 hours beforehand.
Odd. I've had mine for about 2-3 months now with no issues. I have noticed, for what it's worth, there seem to be a ton of clones on this mod now. I've got nothing against a good clone, but on a mod this cheap, it seems kinda pointless to me, and the complaints seem to have skyrocketed since the clones hit. It makes me wonder if people are getting duped into thinking they've got authentics. Not sure if this applies here but just my 2¢
Came to this via google as the highest search item because I just got this problem. Mine ran low on battery and would not vape. Put it on charge. Showed charging but still failed to vape
Fix: 5 power button presses. Turns out that when the battery went flat it locked itself in the off mode
