Step up to $55 and you can get the Evic VT. Otherwise, my MVP3.0 took one hell of a beating over its life. It still works, but it took an 8ft fall to concrete, and the way it hit the tank it messed up the 510. The tank was destroyed (subtank nano).

Vaping Cheap is a great resource. They will send you an email every day with great deals. Always a mod under $50 on there. The iPV4S and the old nonTC Sig 150 have popped up in the $50 range in the last week or so. www.vapecrawler.com is a great place to look if you already know what you are looking for.

VTC Mini gets my vote.

Now with MOAR POWER (75w) !111!! :p

Also... besides the SMOK Treebox mentioned above, they also are bringing out the 75w single battery xCube.
I haven't even upgraded my Cube for Ti and SS yet, and I already want the Mini version. Soooon. :D

Is there a consensus yet on the iStick 100 now that people have owned them for a while? Everything I see about it is either trashing it mostly because the iStick 50 was such a disaster, or predicting that it won't hold up over time. Now that we're in October, are there actual stories of units crapping out or otherwise turning out to be shoddy?

I saw ONE report of dodgy 510 wiring about three weeks ago and we've been talking the thing up quite a bit on a couple of boards.

It's a cheap knockabout with modestly high power. "Does what it says on the tin".
And at only 100w with a dual sled... you can't physically over tax known good 20A cells, max draw will never exceed about 17A (take care though... it's parallel and WILL run on one battery).

I haven't had an issue with my i50 though the problems are real. One of my i30s though... has autofired itself into dementia. The 40TC and i100 have been solid. I put that down in part to changing the layout design and the fact that I've never let a tank puke it's guts into my mods. Who knows.

I wouldn't buy another fixed battery Eleaf iStick, at least not the old models, but I'm pretty comfortable with the new ones.

That's what I had started to figure, I'm glad to have it confirmed. I don't know that I necessarily need anything more powerful than my MVP3 pro right now, but making the shot on a $30 option instead of a $70+ would be a whole lot easier. Think the iStick 100 would probably be at the top of my list then if I do decide to upgrade. At the bare minimum we'd know about really serious issues like the 50 had by now, so we already know it has to be a significant improvement.

There's a contingent that will never forgive Eleaf or ever trust them again.

But if you look carefully at the i50 meltdown cases, something stands out...

It's a mod with a well known proclivity of some units, for thermal runaway of the (LiPo ?) battery pack WHILE CHARGING, and second, an autofire issue, which may contribute to the first.

What do you see in almost all the pics? A mod left charging unattended WITH A TANK ATTACHED.
Often overnight. Stupid.

As bad as putting an Aspire tank on a hybrid top cap. Stupid. :rolleyes:
