    I think it's obvious the iStick will fail in its claims of sub 4 volt output. That said, a lot of the mainstream devices he reviews struggle with this as well so I'm not sure what kind of review he'll give the thing. I get the impression Phil is a recently converted box mod fan but also think...

    Thanks for the vid. Looks like a royal pain in the azz to me. :D I should add, I have no loyalty to the Nautilus other than the BVC's are a great vape on a properly regulated mod for us lazy people. I could certainly see my Kayfun at 2.5 ohms in "nano" mode sitting on top of the iStick. (Which...

    He's at a vape meet in Paris drinking cheap wine and ogling French hairy armpits.

    My friend, you have better eyes than me. :D As an aside... like others here I took my Smok Ohm/Volt tester to the B&M. The iStick registered 4 volts under load (when it said 3.0). Every other regulated mod I have registers correctly or pretty close. Sadly, unless Eleaf comes out with a version...

    It's the highest resistance BVC coils available for my Nautilus Mini. Love to go higher but those coils just don't exist and these things can't be re-wrapped to my knowledge. I normally wrap to 2.4 (or so) on my kayfun though. I suppose a 2.8-3.0 wrap might choke down the power a bit.

    Ha. The guy at my local B&M just let me use one. (it's the only one he has). Stuck a Nautilus Mini 1.8ohm topper on it, set for 3.0v and I can tell this thing vapes way too hot for us low-wattage vapers. It's like using an Ego fresh off the charger. I really wish I could get 2.5ohm BVC's...

    A pet octopus is cooler than smoking.

    I'm just messin' with folks. :D My brother has a salt water tank but he can't afford any fish to put in it. He had some shrimp-looking thingy in there once all by itself scurryng around the bottom but it croaked. Most likely a heart attack from running backwards all the time.

    Disney Parks - New rules for e-cigarettes

    Stupidity and ignorance bothers me very much. I don't vape in public indoor places but most of Disney is an open outdoor park. I am not going to hang out with tobacco users. Those days are over.

    Yes. I hear Octopus are good eatin' and healthy for you.

    I just found $1.34 in the sofa cushions!!!

    Consumer Reports Comment

    You'll get used to it. :) But don't fall for the hype that governments, people in power and most media outlets actually care about "children". Kids are merely a convenient tool used to pull the heart strings of the general populace for the sole purpose of implementing a broader agenda.

    I'm waiting for the $9.95 clones. :D Seriously... glad most everyone here likes theirs. Let's hope you all feel the same way in a couple of months. Perhaps we have something here that will be so popular it spurs on more lookalikes. I'd love to see something this tiny exceed 3000mah.

    So, how much has your 'hobby' cost you?

    Well, you must do "the books" in your house. I'm not allowed to touch money ever since I added an extra zero to a check that "one" time back in '97. :( But honestly; it's hard to put a price on the way we feel/breath these days (at least me). Plus, no more burn holes in our clothing and...

    Willy, well done my friend. :) Another groin kick to BT. I truly love these posts.

    So, how much has your 'hobby' cost you?

    At least 150 pairs of women's shoes and lots of stuff from some place called "etsy".

    wife smokes

    You're going about this all wrong my friend. Make her see all the things she'll be able to buy with the savings. Mrs. Kodiak owns a chain of shoe stores now.

    Somebody send one to Phil Busardo. Then brace yourself for the ensuing 30 minutes of charts and graphs - which we need right now. I just upped a regulated mod to 4 volts and have been vaping a Nautilus Mini with 1.8ohm coil. It's way too hot for me. I normally vape this setup at 3.5 volts...

    Study Done on Nicotine absorbtion from Electronic Cigarettes

    It's a good eye-opener for newbies. I don't know how many people I run across that insist on vaping the same way they smoked and fall of the wagon right back to cigarettes. As soon as somebody told me I'd needed to vape 3 or 4 times as often as I smoked it all made sense and I stayed with it.

    So I ordered something from Fastech...

    Guitar string and dental floss? Heck. By the time my package gets here coils will most likely be nuclear powered.

    relationships

    I have no advice. (If I did it would be catastrophic). Instead, I'm going to give Mrs. Kodiak a hug. You just reminded me of all the crap she's put up with these past 35 years. :) Good luck my friend. Only you know if she's worth it.
