Atomizers, Carts, and Tanks Recommendations for iStick 50w?

canonikon · Mar 4, 2015

Just ordered my iStick 50W with the eleaf GS-Air, SO EXCITED !!!

So other than the GS Air, any other recommendations you guys recommend?

I will probably get the clone ones at fasttech.com since they're cheaper and I don't need it right away since I'll be using the GS Air.

Does the iStick use only atomizers, carts, clearo's or tanks? Which one should I stick with for best results?

In the future I will also want to drip too.

Considering the iStick fires between 2.0-10.0 volts and can support resistances between 0.2-5.0 ohms, it is completely up to you. The iStick 50W is as close to an every-man (or woman) device as you can get. Anything with a 510 or eGo connection will work.

I gotta agree with my friend Spaceballsrules.

With tanks or clearos or glass, look at the price and availability of coils as well. It sux to have a great tank and no replacement coils.

I would get bottom feed tanks of 2 to 5ml size.

Just stick to the 510 connections or the ego connections.

If you can screw it, you can vape it.

You can even get a flashlight head!!!

This obviously isn't your first rodeo. What are you vaping on now? Do you want to build/rebuild? People seem to be loving the GS Air. The iStick 50W is capable of firing almost anything. Help us narrow things down a bit.

Was vaping on the innokin vv v3 with clearo's before it fell down the toilet and toasted it.
Yeah would want to rebuild as it's kind of fun to do it. I want to drip at home but be convenient taking it outside my home.
Should I get a RDA or RBA? Can we drip with RBA? Before I sold my Reos Mod I use to have the RM2 RBA and i were able to drip on it.

So I'm not sure how's this new RDA term different from the RBA/RTA

I just tried out a subtank nano for the first time on an iStick.

Once I'd swapped the drip tip from wide to slim, normal service was resumed... :ohmy:

Many use RTA/RBA interchangeably, where RDA specifically refers to dripping.

I love my Veritas RDA with a single horizontal coil. People are loving the Marquis because of it's flavor, vapor and throat hit. The Marquis is incredibly easy to build.

As for RTAs, I love my Erlkonigin clones. Tiny full-sized holds 6ml. Nano holds 3ml. You can find decent ones for $5-10. Look at Angelcigs.

I've been recommending the SubTank Mini to a lot of people. Approximately $30 gets you an authentic atomizer capable of using both factory heads and an included RTA head. The factory heads are pretty darned good. The RTA head is easy to build. It holds 4.5ml. The FastTech clone ($21, linked below) is getting good reviews as well. Angelcigs is getting a Mini clone in for the same price. The authentic is also readily available in the States for $30ish. I think the SubTank Mini is a great concept and great place to start.

I know many people are raving about the Kayfun 4. I think it is over-engineered to its detriment. Far too fiddly for me without a clear benefit/reward. The Lemo is really good but 23mm in diameter.

Good luck!

The subtank mini isn't a bad idea at all. Gives you both options of a build deck and replaceable atomizer heads.

I like the fact that my subtanks. ..I have 2 Nanos now and a mini on the way...are decent replacement coil ready. Just one more tank I DON'T have to rebuild. ..having a bunch of rebuildables gets time consuming.

How's the clone Subtank compared to the Authentic one? $12 difference....I can get another RDA or RBA for $12...or some Subtank coils too...should I save that $12?

Don't know personally how good the SubTank clones are. But they're getting good feedback on FT.

Know a guy that got an Atlantis clone and authentic coils works fine. Might be the same way. The coil does the work just check around and make sure authentic ones fit it.
