Wassup yall? ;)

istick 30s and 40s have been pretty good to me but as the subj says, I was wondering if there
was anything newer, bigger, badder, for less $. I do prefer to keep an internal battery.

The iPower 80 has my attention but the couple cases of them auto firing has my concern too. OTOH, having a iS 30 melt down and burn the hell out of me hasn't stopped me from buying more of those either. The iPower seems to have 2x the juice of the 40s for about the same $.

Oh, and as you might imagine, I am in Jurrasic park tank wise also. GS Air stuff.

What say yall?

UK & much further East.
I received the new Eleaf iStick Rim for review just the other day. It is very good, biggish, powerful, 3000mAh internal battery, has some weight to it, Melo 5 tank with mesh coils. Release date is 7th May I think.

PS it came with a plain acrylic "glass" too.

Well I have an order into MyFreedomSmokes for 2 Black MVP 4.0's.

With a coupon and a few redeemed points I got them shipped for $43 each. Heck, that's only $13 more than the iS 40 that has about half the battery.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for places like MFS who aren't so affected with Shinyitis and will still carry the older, tried but true items. I get both my iS 40's and GS Air coils from them. Good peeps.

Thanks yall.

It seems most of the choices are less MaH than the iS 40 or just a little more for a lot more money.

PMing with member Jefsview and he reminded me of the Innokin MVP 4.0. 4500 battery for only about
$13 more than the 2600 iS 40. Unless someone talks me out of it I am leaning towards those. Also comes with Fastcharge too! I think they have made a version of it almost as long as they have made iSticks.

Actually a great little mod, just gets forgotten amongst all the new stuff. Thinking you'll be happy with it.

Always the OBS Cube. 3000mah internal battery. Keep in mind that its just a battery either way. Dont want to remove your battery,then dont. Just charge it like you would if it was an internal lipo. I have a bunch of DNA mods and I never remove batteries from them. I do trust there charging circuts more than most thou

Hi Bruce! Sorry to hear that your mods are being destroyed by the Florida climate. Rather than buying cheap, disposable ones, how about trying a durable one? The Aegis Mini is resistant to water, dust, and impact.

Less battery than a iS 40 and twice as expensive, I pass.

The MVP has 2x the battery of the Aegis for $10 Less.

Nice form factor -- very iStick-ish. Just a shame they finished it off in shiny chrome. :ohmy::(o_O

Check out the Innokin Plexar Kit. As for which battery to choose,
The P42A is my choice for best all-around performing cell of any size and best choice for a regulated mod for use from about 40W-90W each (80W-180W in a two-battery mod). Below that there are ultra-high capacity cells like the Samsung 50E2 that are a better choice. At above 90W each or so the Samsung 30T could be the better choice. Try the P42A and 30T and see which performs better for the way you vape.
From: Bench Retest Results: Molicel P42A 4000mAh 21700...beats 40T, one of the best batteries available

The MVP is a hella unit. Even before the $43 shipped price. Unbelievably, MyFreedomSmokes free shipping had them to me 2 Days after ordering. Great folks.

Even though I'm a low watt vaper, I'm a moderate to heavy user and can go 2 full days before
recharging. I've NEVER been able to do that before.

It's a lot heavier than an iS 40 but really not that much bigger.

The build quality seems a galaxy better than Eleaf's. I think I could beat an iStick to pieces with the MVP.

Thanks again to Jefsview for the reco.
