I book marked this and will think on it. What does the temperature control do? This is advanced for my current vape experience. Lol. I am good on working with adjusting voltage or wattage, but now this twist with temperature control I will need a quick lesson so I understand what I would do with this. I like the price on this website so I'm interested.
if they have them available, may be worth taking a look at an innokin disrupter too - very solid little mod, great build, user friendly
I currently use an iStick 30w with my Nautilus Minis and Subtank Nanos and it's a great combo. Perfect size and the charge seems to last 2 or 3 tanks for me although YMMV depending on the wattage you run. I generally run my Minis at 10w or so and my Nanos at 15w with the 1.2 coils. I'm a mouth to lung guy and I don't see me going to a direct lung inhale anytime soon.
They also make a steel tank replacement for the Nautis. It's not very expensive. Will be handy if you accidentally drop your rig on a hard surface. Here is one example, but there are different designs. I think I saw one with a cute snowflake pattern once?

The iStick TC 40w works as a normal mod.
I have little interest in temp control. Never say never, but for the time being... I can do without messing with my head. Besides, the technology is new and it's glitchy too.
If I was vaping at 20+ watts, then I'd be there in a shot.
Did you see my comment about the size comparisons?
I have two replacement tanks I use for my two favorite ADV and they have come in quite handy considering how many times hurricane Gavin has knocked over my vape or I have just set it down somewhere in general and its fallen over. They are quite nice and I'm sure have saved me from breaking the glass tank often.

I was wondering whether I would need something like this considering I doubt I would ever need to get this high in wattage especially with my current tanks and not sure I need temperature control or how it works anyway. Lol. But it did have a good price on the website. I'm leaning toward the 30w iStick at the moment but I think I will go to VapeJam and see what vendors have available and at what prices, and if none have what I want then I will get one of these online. I know they might be a little more expensive at the fest, but might be worth the few extra bucks to get it right away. Lol. I kind of like supporting my local B&M's now and then with gear since I won't buy their e-juice.
We have THE Vapefest this weekend in the UK!
Products will be really well priced, the vendors know they can't get away with making hay ($) with the most enthusiastic vapers in the whole country. Over-charging would be detrimental to their success... seriously... they'd get slated on forums and social media.
Another thing to consider is battery life. If you are going to go with an internal battery, the higher wattage mods have bigger batteries. They will last longer between charges and extend battery life. It will likely extend the life of the entire mod, since you will be runnung it at a lower than max wattage. You can run a 10W mod at 10W and charge it twice a day and burn it up in 6 months. Or you can run a 50W mod at 10W and charge it every 3 days and never burn up the circuitry. It may last for years that way.
In general, Clo, TC is a means of not burning a wick or juice so it tastes foul. They use a special wire for the coil, either nickel or titanium, instead of the regular old Kanthal. This wire has the property of changing its resistance to electrical current with temperature. All metals do this to some extent, but Ni and Ti do it a *lot* and very evenly. The mod then uses this change in resistance while you have the fire button pressed to gauge the temperature of the coil wire. If the coil gets to the temp you have set on the TC circuitry, the mod cuts back the power to the coil so as to not overheat it. Theoretically, this prevents the coil from burning out your wick if it gets vaped dry, or getting so hot it makes your juice taste burnt (assuming you set the temp low enough so neither of these happen.) This is, IMHO, and actual improvement in the way mods function and, when you get a mod where the TC works well-- this is not all of them, TC is yet very new-- it's a godsend. It may be less useful to a person who vapes in your power range. Having it doesn't matter, necessarily, unless you choose to use it. All TC mods are also regular old VW mods when set in the proper mode. It is something to consider, but perhaps not necessary for you. No reason not to have it, if you can get it conveniently, as the price is not greatly different, and you never know: one day... you might want it. But for you it probably shouldn't be a deal breaker, either.
Say no more....this is perfect for what you want..

One of the advantages TC adds if you use it is not getting a dreadful dry hit if you're vaping and not paying attention to the juice level. When the coil runs dry of juice the temp rises rapidly and the tc mod shuts it down. The issue I like about the 40 w tc istick over the 30 w is the fact the 40 w has 400 more mah than the 30w (2600 vs 2200). The 40 w will last you twice as long as the ego sticks you now use.Like has been previously stated, tc only works with special coils, it works like a regular mod with regular coils. Going to the expo will benefit as you should be able to actually hold them both and compare.
Great thanks! That explains a lot. Now I can't wait to go to VapeJam and check all this stuff out!
Oops. I sort of just randomly found myself in a Vape shop when I went into town today, and sort of didn't wait for VapeJam. Lol. Shinyitis in the form of a new 30w iStick...in blue. New toys are so fun. But that's ok, now I can focus on other things to buy at VapeJam this weekend. Lol!
I approve. Blue iStick 30w. My choice too!
I have a glow-in-the-dark silicone cover for it... it really glows... when it's dark... which is kind of the point.
Excellent, Clo! Shinyitis requires constant maintenance. I haven't bought any vape gear in a week, and my palms are starting to get sweaty...
Lol! It was strange, I asked the lady working at this shop if they would be at this local VapeJam and she basically told me that they don't participate much in "local" vape events, they do more national ones. Maybe it's just me, but I thought that was kind of pompous. The way I see it, shouldn't you WANT to participate at a local event and ya know represent the area in which your business is located? But, whatever. I hope there will be some good stuff happening there. Since I was a first time customer I did get 20% off on the iStick so I will take the discount and probably never go back there. Heck, I saw on the website some out of state vendors are helping sponsor our "local" event. Anywho, must go play with my new toy now. Lol.
