The 50W istick is great, it really is but I sometimes have a weird issue with it. Occasionally when pulling a hit, it sort of skips in and out. What I mean by this is usually when you're pressing the power button and drawing vapor, it will be continuous thing. Sometimes with my 50W istick, it will only hit for a second, stop, then continue to hit. It's really strange. I was wondering if this happened with anyone else and if so, are there any solutions to fixing this?

Yeah, I noticed that too from time to time both with my 50W and 20W.

Push harder. I think the button's actuation point internally needs full pressure to maintain connection.

You can actually test this. On mine, the current stops flowing before the 'up-click' if that makes any sense. Or 'un-click' if you prefer.

I guess a more technical description would be that the button's electrical continuity terminates prior to the perceived tactile feedback from the mechanism. At least with mine.

I've had that come up as well and it was that I hadn't fully pressed the fire button (sometimes it clicks twice). I was also thinking it could be the fact that the istick uses both PWM and DC (check out pbusardo's review) and that it could be the rattlesnaking. PWM kicks in if you are trying to regulate it down and may cause rattlesnaking. If that is what was happening though, the time between fire and non-fire would be extremely short.
