An IStick dilemma

[Mr. Mom]

Hi guys!

Haven't posted in a long while but I still lurk a bit. Anyway, I've got something of a problem. Not really a problem in a bad way though. I recently ordered an istick 50w and had been patiently waiting on it for a week or so. Well, the problem is that in the meantime I saw the new 100w istick box and it got me curious...very curious. So, my question is: What would you choose? The 50w is unopened and I can get a full refund.

I'm mostly a flavor chaser running a .7 rda at about 21 watts. But I am intrigued by going lower ohms/higher watts and blowing some clouds. So should I go for it with the 100 watts or what? I'm so freaking confused!

Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

The iStick 100W just came across my radar today, too. I'm currently using an iStick 30W, I vape even lower than you -- about 1.1 @ 15W. I had already decided that my next mod would be regulated, but with replaceable batteries, and that $35 price is pretty tempting, even considering buying batteries & charger.

I can't tell you what to do, but I know what I'd do and probably will do.

Depends on whether you prefer the internal batteries and smaller form factor of the 50W, or the higher power and external batteries of the 100W.

Will the Istick 100w regulate nicely down at like 6-12 watts?
I know some regulated devices will not really do the low wattages they say they will.

 

[Mr. Mom]

Not sure about that. I'm just wondering if it will do 20 watts as well as the higher watts required to have some cloud fun. I have a 20 watt Istick for the 6-8 watt tanks. Great little all day mod.

my vote is for replaceable batteries

SnowWolf 200w! Hey, yer gonna go that way eventually anyway, might as well get it overwith!

I'm pretty sure my oven doesn't have that many watts.

Unless yer tank is glowing, yer not doing it right!

I was in the same dilemma since one of my two iStick50's died (screen went black) the other day. I considered maybe going with a 30W, since I rarely go over 30W anyway. Then I thought, since I already have some "married" 18650's I could use in the 100w, I ordered the 100W iStick for about the same price as the 30W.

The problem I have is this... I consider the 50W to be just pocketable, but I'm pretty sure when I receive the 100w it probably won't spend as much time in my pocket as the 50W. Then I'll be forced to buy a 30w to fullfill that requirement. See how I did that?

 

[Mr. Mom]

Yep. I also have an Innokin CF4. Like it a lot but want more mah so I'm not charging so much. Removable batteries are the main selling point for me.

 

[ddirtyvapes]

My vote is for the 100W because of all the problems people have had with the 50Ws, as well as the increased battery life and the fact that they are replaceable. As others have said, you have to make your own decision but for doubling the power over the 50W and housing two 18650s, I don't think the 100W is so much bigger. It will also depend on where you want to put it when out and about, but yeah, that's what I would do personally. Plus it really doesn't matter if it has way more power than you need. Running a 100W mod at 20-30W is obviously A-OK and will only increase the battery life and lessen the strain put on the device.

Ordered a black one last night. Can't wait! Saw it in person today at my local shop (79.99) and I really like the looks. Got it for 40 bucks shipped from VaporDNA. Replacable batteries are going to be nice.

Now to get a better tank. The Innokin iSub isn't going to cut it. Suggestions? I cant decide between the Aspire atlantis 2 or the Kanger mini...

Thanks for all the input!!

Kanger Mini is what I use and the flavor is incredible! Plus a great RBA! That being said, I also have a Smok TFV4 on the way that is said to blow everything else out of the water, and with 100 watts to play with you might want to consider it!
