looking at the piccys, it looks like a 510 connector, but I suppose you could then put the istick eGo connector on top,would make it stick up higher though

You'd have to use one of your other ten if that happens
Yes upside down tank,don't like the sound of it.And it would look far from flush fitting with the folding adapter.OCD complex would kick in for me.
...the way I was trying to use it was: It's set at 5W and I have a 2.0ohm coil, so where the two meet on the chart gives me a purple square at 3.2 ...and that's what I couldn't understand ...but, when I look right now, the volts are showing 3.3!
How would I know when it goes from 4.2 to 3.9? I never get that reading for Volts. This one is almost fully charged. It's set at 5W, 2.0ohm coil, and shows 3.3Vno wonder I keep choking and steaming through liquid!
Ignore the display entirely except for the little battery icon if you are trying to vape lower than anything that is not in the blue on the chart, the display only shows what you want it to, and yes you will be vaping at 9w
Look at the little battery icon - when fully charged you have 4.2v in the battery, it can still output more than 4.2v (up to 5.5v) BUT cannot drop down so cannot output less than what the actual voltage of the battery is, and looking at the chart the voltage level of the battery can go down to 3.0v so that is a drop of 1.2v so when the display gets:
1/3rd down you will have lost approx 0.4v (4.2-0.4=3.8) about 8w
1/2 down -0.6v (4.2-0.6=3.6) about 7w
2/3rds down -0.8v (4.2-0.8=3.4) this is when you will be vaping at about 6w
So what you need to do is set the iStick to the lowest figure in the blue for the coil you are using to maintain that wattage, or get higher ohm coils to get the lower wattages, because the way you you are doing it at the moment means that you are starting @ say 9w (2.0 ohm) and as the battery depletes the wattage is going down until it reaches the one you have it set to.
Ja! that is exactly what it means, that doesn't mean they will not in future rule that it is a tobacco product and can only be sold in "Tabaks" (tobacconist shops), there is at the moment another case going through about someone vaping in a cafe (allowed by the owner and being fought by the owner) who was taken to court by the City of Cologne who lost the first case and the appeal, but they can take it higher.
Good point, in fact a lot of clearos start behaving badly once the juice gets too far down never mind drying out.
today is the day I find out if I can go home today or tomorrow I hope it is today as I feel well enough to go to my B+M store and see what I can get for now to get me by and I cant wait
Good Luck with that.I'm sure you'd love to be back home again.
If it's only a 510, then I won't bother. I'm so far mostly using the MOW tanks on it with the adapter, and just ordered a mega size one (2.8ml). The bendy adapter would make them look pretty ugly anyway I think.
I tend to still use my 2 mini Nautili on the MVP's unless I want one of those two flavours to 'blast' a bit
I'm coming back to the chart stuff later
Aw! funny guy George!You'd have to use one of your other ten if that happens
...they're back-ups - only 4 in use! 4 back-ups - got to do it that way or I wouldn't know where one came from if it broke too soon! ...and see, the back-ups, do need at least one back-up! I could have spent the same virtually on a couple of something else and not liked it at all.
I'd be forever checking it for leaks! There's a couple of photos of them on that long thread ...adds a fair bit to the overall height, and sort of destroys the neat design of them.
Everyone acknowledges that e-cigs etc. are an unknown in the long-term, but (experts especially) also acknowledge that it's many times safer than smoking ...just keeps really annoying me that these people come along and snatch things away from 'responsible adults' ! Grrr.
Good! Hope you do get to go home Ron! Been a while now - but do take it easy, it's always more than it seems when you've been out of the loop for a while, and you can soon tire yourself.

Totally agree, Ron,we don't want a repeat of the last episode.
Not that i would buy any of them, but i`m surprised that no one thought that, if when the tank is folded down, and you wanted to put it in your pocket, you could just turn the I-stick upside down, then the tank would be upright.
Doh!Not that i would buy any of them, but i`m surprised that no one thought that, if when the tank is folded down, and you wanted to put it in your pocket, you could just turn the I-stick upside down, then the tank would be upright.

Clever Bugger
How's it going T
yes, can tell you like the smilies
The wines I mentioned are not dry, and not particularly sweet, and they have a rich fruity berries & plums sort of flavour - very good with food, and particularly with beef & lamb!
I was wondering if you'd tried anything with the bilberry ...I really like that one with the Cookie - getting some pie crust soon. Both of those sound really good! I saw a Limoncello & Blackberry one the other day, so what you made isn't too different!
The iStick is neat - if I curl my hand around it you can't see it (I have medium size hands) and all you see is the mini Nautilus or MOW sticking out!
One thing I think I've realised from reading that long thread (or part of it!) with the iSticks is that a 2.0ohm coil is better than 1.5!
Terry found a difference going higher.
I'm really only an occasional wine drinker. Tend to go for cider or shorts more often. My Step son, does go through a fair bit of wine, but whenever I try any he raves about, they always taste like vinegar to me
Guess we've just got different tastes.I've still not had time yet to try any of the other mixes yet. The cloudy lemon and bilberry has gone into my regular e-juice box though, it's a very nice vape indeed. I think I'll mix up some more, I like it that much
Sounds like the iStick will be a perfect size for me then for during the day. I normally pop my Vmod in my shirt pocket during the day. Just got to decide which topper I'll use on the iStick now. It will be nice to have something I can pump up the wattage on though for during the day. I like a more beefy vape after meals, so it will do the job perfectly
I'll have to do a slightly higher resistance build though.Same here Bob, I'm not a fan of tobacco vapes either.
My thoughts exactly bob, and it`s another no way `jose from me
Sounds like a perfect opportunity for an accident that one mate.
The week after the clones will be on FT
So, with a 2.0ohm coil, and the iStick set at 5W, I'm actually getting 9W until it begins to drop, only reaching 7 or 6 watts (which is more what I'm used to) when 1/2-2/3 depleted ? That's going to be easy to remember because I'll be unlikely to use any other setting.
I've grabbed as many 2.0ohm V2 coils as I can (20 today and 20 in the cupboard) and will get more at frequent intervals until I can find no more. I'll try and only use them in the iStick tanks. Once the 2.0ohm are unavailable, the 1.8 will be the highest.
The highest on the Nautilus is 1.8ohm, so looking at the chart, I'll be starting at 10W and the drop-off will be similar, but ever so slightly lower by 1 point per step - so not too bad.
Apparently (Reddit) there was supposed to be a video produced to explain why people think they're reading wrongly, but it hasn't materialised yet that I can see.
No good them saying to use 3.0ohm coil - they just aren't made for the most popular tanks that I've seen used on the iStick.
Can still get 2.5ohm BCC for the basic Evod mk1 though - wonder what the Evod is like on the iStick ....got a feeling I tried a week or two ago and it didn't work - I'll try again later!. The mPT2 takes the same coils too I suppose.
Be interesting to see if V2 appears on time, and if it is less confusing with the power outputs.
Been busy today.
I had a Kayfun 3.1 with a leaky base, another Kayfun with a dodgy 510 pin and a Kayfun Nano that wasn't feeding juice properly. So after cleaning and rewicking a couple of my other Kayfuns, decided to do a bit of modifying.
First up, got out the Dremmel and opened up the juice channels on the Nano. Then completely disassembled the leaky 3.1 base. Finally took apart the Kayfun with the dodgy 510.
Then I fitted the chimney, tank and top cap from the leaky 3.1 to the Nano - never really liked the small liquid volume of the Nano. Atty number 1 modified.
Then I took the insulator from the 3.1's centre pin, gave it a bit of a file down, fitted it to the Kayfun with the dodgy 510. Atty number 2 modified.
Finally bagged up the re-usable parts from the 3.1 for spares.
Had another look at "Bob" - but it looks like he's a terminal case, so he'll probably end up in my spares bag. Looks like the leak is unfixable, without an Act of God. I know where it's coming from, but there's no way to fix it

Exactly
Depends if they have been listening to what Phil and others have been saying....
Wouldn't do to all be the same! You'd probably like a designated sweet one: Sweet Red Wine | Gallo Family Vineyards, or a sweet white such as chardonnay, moscato, reisling etc. If you want to find one or two, watch out for wine merchants doing wine tasting days/evenings ...and don't drive homeI'm really only an occasional wine drinker.

As far as I could tell, FA are the only one to do Bilberry. I must use some more of my Bilberry and cookie (I got some ready made to try) - not too sure if I'll have a problem with the bilberries after my recent sad affair with QOP! It's certainly a very nice flavour! If I'm OK with it, there's a number of possibilities such as mixing it with plain cake and cream or custard, cheesecake, just custard, vanilla ....not thinking any more 'cos I'll be mad if I can't use it!I've still not had time yet to try any of the other mixes yet. The cloudy lemon and bilberry has gone into my regular e-juice box though, it's a very nice vape indeed. I think I'll mix up some more, I like it that much
Have you ever tried a black tea one?
I placed a repeat order for LCCC and Doughnut today and added two flavourings: Strawberry shortcake and Meringue. I may see what that meringue tastes like and with cream, pastry and something like a strawberry/raspberry mix may get something akin to the QOP ...or not!
I think it'll be perfect for an out and about device.Sounds like the iStick will be a perfect size for me then for during the day. I normally pop my Vmod in my shirt pocket during the day. Just got to decide which topper I'll use on the iStick now. It will be nice to have something I can pump up the wattage on though for during the day.

I saw a number of people using the MOW tanks as well as the Nautilus, and I ordered a SS MOW Mega from MyEPack last night (2.8ml), and it's been despatched today. Very slight overhang as it's 19mm, but not enough to bother me. I'm forever refilling the two with Doughnut and LCCC. Oddly though, I've taken to using the LCCC on an iPow 2 at 6.5-7W as it can taste a bit burnt on the iStick. (I sort of know why now!).
I just hope the MOW Mega isn't like all the other full size tanks I've tried after being happy with the mini versions: they've all gurgled, spat or leaked!
I wouldn't look for one with a tobacco taste, but things like RY and those complex NT ones are nothing like tobacco as we knew it!
Looking forward to trying the ones from HHV and then Indigo when I get around to ordering some.
Good ole FT!The week after the clones will be on FT
Got a reply from them today (after three days - do they not work weekends in a big company like that!) They couldn't see the attachment re the postage charges to return the pesky Hana. So, I related it in a reply and also added the attachment again ...I can see it in the reply!
My NT order for Crème Brule hit Heathrow on Friday, just 3 days after despatch, but no sign of it our post box today!!!
Thanks Bob! Never been electrically minded! I know how a fuse works and what to use, how to wire a plug, and which light bulb works best, but little else with electricity. ...oh - I know it hurts if you touch itExactly
I do know I've used 2x1.8ml tanks of Doughnut today!
Well, as with anything new, we first users are always the guinea pigs, and basically the ones that do the QC for them ...at our expense mostly! So they should take plenty of notice!
By the way - not heard back from Chefs Karl re the doughnut - if I hear nothing in the next day or so, I'll send it to you anyway
Just preferred to ask first.- Status
