    Having seen several pics of the 510 connection, am I correct that some have the silicone caulking, and some don't? If do all have the silicone insulator, and some have the caulking (glue) in addition to the insulator, or in place of the insulator? Thinking maybe Eleaf started adding that...

    Is an istick worth it?

    I have the Provari (V2 I think?) with the goofy tapered top cap. 22mm toppers look ridiculous on it IMO. Biggest thing I dislike about it is the atrocious battery life of the 18350's. I could extend it, but it's already quite pocket unfriendly. While I do use a full size Naughty BVC for my...

    Ever enter contests? Win anything?

    Won my blue Billet Box. Only contest I ever entered. Don't even bother with the lottery. Maybe I should? lol

    Is an istick worth it?

    Maybe. The Istick certainly can deliver more power than the twist can. But, there comes a point where too much power will give you a burnt taste depending on the topper/juice you're using.

    Is an istick worth it?

    IStick has become my go to device. My Provari Mini along with 5 18350's reside in my glove box as emergency gear now. The combo of size, power, and battery life is unbeatable. Especially for the price!

    Regarding the thread issue. Pretty sure the top piece and 510 connection is aluminum. So aside from the likelihood that some Isticks simply have a poor thread cut, because the metal is relatively soft, it can also be easily damaged. Cross threading and over tightening as we all know is one...

    I actually think that the factory heads are a little better. I'm pleased as punch with the consistency, flavor, and wicking. The aspire coils last long enough for me that I don't mind spending a couple of bucks to change em out when needed.

    Shouldn't move at all. Coils will drift a bit over time, but not between puffs.

    I'm still getting great battery life out of mine. 1.8 ohm BVC toppers chain vaping all day and still better than half charge left. Hope this continues. Shouldn't see appreciable degradation in battery life until 300 cycles or so. Beats the snot out of my Provari Mini with 18350's. Only...

    Ohms shouldn't be varying. Most likely your topper isn't making a good connection. If so, either the topper/head is faulty, or less likely the Istick itself.

    Since I bought the Istick, yep just one now. Extra tanks is it. I do keep the Provari and 4 batteries in my glove box just in case. Been leaving the Billet Boxes at home as of late. No need to tear em up any worse lol.

    Was at a gathering last night and was able to compare this Istick to a friends MVP. Yep, Istick is a MVP killer. So much smaller, lighter, and sleeker. Not sure I even buy into the 2200mAh vs 2600 mAh difference since both use 18650 batteries and battery manufactures are notorious for...

    It is significantly better. I've been making vertical heads for around a year now in Kanger heads. I've yet to rebuild a Aspire head, but the same principal applies. I have found a spaced rather than touching coil is far superior along with Rayon wicking...

    That head can, and depending on the juice, needs more power. I vape from 8-15 watts depending on the juice. Is a different beast than the typical horizontal coil, and can handle a surprisingly wide range of power.

    A little imo. I do charge my gear overnight. Cellphone, laptop, and ecigs. I do not charge eGo batteries since I don't trust a $1 charger though. But you are right, there is some risk in charging batteries. I just feel comfortable with my 18XX batteries charging in the kitchen in quality...

    Lion batteries do not need to be drained like NiCad batteries and have no memory. In fact it's better for battery life to charge before it's drained, so charge when you feel the need.
