Seems as if the issue is definitely the other persons istick 20 throwing out more than the 7 or 8 watts.

istick 20 fires 1 full volt higher than the display indecates. It has been tested and confirmed.

Also, see my edit above..

Good luck--gotta run!

I've been using 20's for a year now and just got gifted a 30 and it's like night and day. You just have to find your own happy medium with anything. The jump in wattage, as far as the 30 is tremendous in my opinion. I have to jump up at about 6watts with the 30 to get the same vape as the 20. I really like mean (my 20's), but I guess I have no choice now to start shifting over to the 30 because the mean is probably history. :(

+1 on the above. The iStick 20 ran hot, especially on the lower end of the scale. Never had a iStick Mini, but as I recall it fires the same as the 20. (You can read about the Mean vs. RMS power calculation thing in the iStick thread - or watch pBusardo's youtube vid review on the iStick 20.)

I now use my 20w only as a back-up device - which means "hardly ever". It became too much of a hassle trying to get the same vape when switching between the 20 and other devices.

However, I just took off a GS-Tank from an iStick 30w and put it on my 20. Somewhat of a subjective observation, but to me the 20 running at 7 watts produces more vapor than the 30 at 11 watts. Really a nice vape, but like I said it was too much hassle when switching between devices. It's been awhile, but as I recall I usually ran it at 6.5w.

Caveats: Running a rebuilt 1.5 ohm coil in the GS-Tank and only have 50/50 PG/VG ratio eliquids.

Yeah, I remember the MEAN voltage issue with the OLD 20 watt, so I waited and bought the iStick 30 watt, gave it away. I just got the newer MINI 20 watt, tiny version, and maybe it suffers the same problem.

Didn't even know there was a mini 20, just looked it up. And you are right, with a 1.2 coil, it'll only go down to 8 watts. The regular will go down to 7.5 with a 1.2, often I get 1.2's that read 1.3 and can go a little lower. In any case, the regular 20 runs hot, I don't know about the mini 20? If it runs as hot as the regular, you might want to get some 1.5',s.

It is the same other than the mini suffers from .5 intervals in wattage and only dips to 8 watts and no less. :)

I bought the new 20 watt MINI iStick and GS AIR MS based on this glowing review here:

https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/f...ery-nice-starter-tank-or-stealth-vape.672128/

In that thread its claimed this combo can work with fairly high VG well above the bottom limit of 8 watts regardless of mean voltage or not. I owned an iStick 30, and skipped the OLD 20 watt iStick due to mean voltage. I added some distilled water, and it's not burning or dry hitting, of course the flavor is lost, but this seems to indicate the max VG juice is not feeding well in this tank with the cotton 1.2 atties. Guess I'll have to get some 50/50 juice just for this setup, most of my juice is higher in VG for my Subtanks etc. I bought this as its tiny for a pocket, and it's more powerful then the really old 5 volt, 10 watt max iStick MINI, I still have and used with the ego threaded clearos like the Aspire K1, but it was like sucking through a straw, but never a burnt or dry hit, that's why I upgraded to the newer 20w version, and this tiny tank.

I have the 20w now and ms air and couldn't get a coil to last a full day. I noticed my son runs his device on volts with long coil life. Sooooo I put in another new coil changed my device to volt and three days later I'm still on that coil. The tank doesn't get as warm and my juice is not turning dark. Don't know why this works because I'm running 4 volts which is higher than the 7-8 w I was running. Just wanted to share what is working for me.1.5 coils 50/50 juice

Which coil are you using?
