Just lost one of my istick 30 watters. It died a peaceful death. Sitting here vaping away and it went dark. Subed out my istick power nano for now, but it's to small. Just ordered an Istick 60 watter. Hope to have it in a few days. Battery death is stressful.

Condolences, brother. Thats a heavy load.
How long was the Istick 30 part of the clan?
How long did it last? I have my finger hovering over the buy now button on a blue one. I gotta know.

Been over 3 years I think. I still have a 2nd one that's used every day. I got the 30's because they didn't make the 20's anymore, so however long ago that was. I really like the Istick. Go for it.

With mods that have non-replaceable batteries, I would suppose so. I only ever had one such mod, an MVP, and I PIF'd it early on.

I absolutely hate that about cell phones, laptops, and tablets these days. It amounts to designed-in obsolescence. It doesn't matter if the rest of the device still meets your needs and is working perfectly, when the battery goes, you're pretty much done.

I just got 6 more 20W iSticks about 6-8 months ago (4 for me and 2 for my hairdresser). Also got a couple more 30W for another ECF member who prefers them. I love my iSticks - the 10W, 20W, and 50W and the Basics. I've only had 1 of the little 10W give up the ghost, and that was after constant use for more than 2 1/2 years.

My two, a 30 and 40 are 3+ years young and are going strong. Knock on wood.
