They don't stretch or distort, certainly not the eleaf ones I have.
Even the VTC sleeve, which gets slid off at least every other day... is still perfect.

These should slip on like the i50, the pain in the .... would be ones like the D2 which slide on from the top and are more form fitted. I HATE having to swap that battery, but the sleeve is fine.
I have the sleeve on the evic VT and although I don't need to remove it to charge the battery, it fits a lot looser now than when I first got it. If I grip it lightly and hold the mod upside down, the mod will slide out of the silicone skin. Same thing with the silicone skin for the sigelei 75TC. And that one I was removing twice a day to swap out the batteries.

Don't know what to say.

Except for the ultra thin D2 sleeve, all of mine are a couple mils thick, and haven't changed a bit.
I have also had trouble with iStick skins becoming loose over time. I had them on the 20 and 30w ones and by the time I got the 40w TC I had given up on the eleaf skins.

I ordered two packages from Fasttech. It was the Chinese New Year coupon code and I order the tank and the ceramic coils along with some other stuff. It just shipped this week.

Hey jseah: What kind of Deal did you get on the Reaper Ceramic Coils at FT? I'm Trying to Justify this Tank! I really don't want another Tank with another Whole New Line of Coils I have So Many Tanks & Coils Now! I've been Telling Myself No More New Tanks & Coils! But I Really Like the Build Deck on this Reaper Plus! I know me If I get it I wont just want One and I will end up Purchasing the Coils! Well, they are Ceramic! So I want to see what/if I can save with Sales & Coupons!

Thanks!

The paint has worn off of the raised ridge on the bottom plate of my black iStick 100W TC. I'm sure there will be some people who will go nuts over this.

Man that's not good! Looks Bad! What You been doing setting it Down on Sand Paper? Ha Ha! Yeah, I can Hear the Moaning Already from the Whiners! But Really what kind of Surfaces are You resting it on?

I built an End Table I use Between My Recliners in My Family Room it's where I hang out most. I put an Oil Stain Finish on it. I decided to Line the Top with some of that Drawer Liner you use in Kitchen Drawers and Cabinets. That way you can set drinks down and what not without scratching or marring it. Well, it turns out it Works Real Well for Mods! The Bottoms don't get scuffed up! They stay in place better and when I knock em over the Padded Liner Helps Protect them! Many Colors to match what ever? In My Case the Stained Wood. I cut Squares and Rectangles in Colors to Match for My Vape Desk, Kitchen Counter, Living Room Coffee Table & Work Bench out in the Garage just to Place My Mods on! No Scuffing the Bottoms, Scratching & Denting when I knock them over which I seem to do a lot! Just a Thought!

Hey CA: You're Putting a Wrap on the White 100 TC Right? That is something one could do just for the Bottom of their 100 TC to Keep it from Scuffing! You could request it from the seller of the Skins just for the Bottom part of the Skin in the Color of Your Choice! Some are Printing these up at time of purchase or on request!

I got a Pink iStick 50 for a girlfriend of mine last year but she chose to stay on the sticks!?? Anyway, I put a Snake Skin Wrap on it and used it for myself for a while. Well the thing looks Brand New! No Marks on it what so ever! I even left the protective cover over the Screen! With a Wrap there's No issues with installing or removing batteries!

The Skins you have for your other iSticks are they Authentic? OEM? The ones I have are still Snug after a Year of use where the aftermarket Skins have loosened up some! And What's Up with the eVic VT OEM Skins? Mine have been loose from Day One! Pick up the eVic's from the Tanks and the Skins wants to Slip Off! Not Good from a Quality Mod! And those Skins that come with the IPV's they don't make it easy to get to the Battery! I like to take the Cells out they Charge Much Faster in the Chargers!

Just can't make it easy!

The deal was the Chinese New Year coupon code for 20 percent off. It was $14.42 for a 5 pack of coils and I ordered two of them, so after the discount it was $23.08 for the two packs. I really didn't need the tank, but after all the talk about ceramic coils, I figured that I would try it out. And the Reaper Plus comes with an RBA, so if I didn't like the ceramic coils, I can just use the RBA and not worry about purchasing coils again.

The surface isn't slippery smooth, but it isn't sandpaper either. It's your standard Ikea surface, so it is a veneer.

yup, this is bound to happen unless you put some type of wrap or case on it. it's happened to every one of my mods over time if left unprotected. it's hard to notice on SS or gray mods. but black or colored paint, it is an eyesore. i had an IPV4s that looked pretty much brand new except on that one spot, it looked like crap.

Yep, I think I will get a clear wrap for the white one. I am DEFINITELY getting a pink wrap for the gray one, so I will make sure they do the bottom piece when I order. I have 3 Jwraps and only one of them came with the bottom part. That one was for the X-Cube II. I think I am going to have to order some tank wraps, too. I just got a Cubis tank that was supposed to be white but I got the silver one. I just can't win, lol. :D I can wrap it with a white wrap, though. I hear you about multiple tanks with different coils! I still have a ton of Atlantis coils left over from back in the day (when I met you, actually!) and now it's all about iSubs and Reapers and cCells, lol. Oh and FT has the Reaper ICC coils for something like $14. I checked up on that when jseah said he ordrered his. They are the only place I could find them but I want them NOW so I didn't place an order with FT. I should just do it. Then if I find some more locally before they arrive I will have a couple of boxes. I fully expect to love them, so too many isn't an issue. At least not yet. :D

You will love the Reaper Plus RDA. Of all of the ones I have tried I like it the very best. I can tell you for sure that the tank is a beast. I had it in the pocket of my hoodie yesterday when I was getting ready to go see my daughter in the hospital and I noticed partway there that it was no longer in my pocket. Turns out it had fallen out of my pocket in the driveway and I ran over it. oops. I found it underneath the car that night after we got home. The glass was smashed and it was filthy and full of mud and rain water, but I cleaned it all up, put the new glass in it and it's perfect! No dents, no distortion whatsoever, and it had been run over by an SUV at least once! I don't recommend taking them apart for a thorough cleaning with this method, but I can definitely tell you that it works. :D

Moisture would surprise me. This old house is very dry in the winter.

Welll, maybe my huge run of luck with isticks was too much for the vape Gods, lol! I've had a 20W, 3 50Ws and 6 100Ws (non tc) without problems.

Lol... I forgot it was you with the stable of i100s (just the one here). :p

The two TC100s make #7 & #8 for me. Only flat out death so far is one of the three i30s after a mere four or five months, about five months ago. I have much more confidence in the new generation starting with the TC40.

Still, sucks to have a dodgy one. :(

One of my 50Ws died recently, quietly in its sleep. It was over a year old. I ran it over with a tractor last summer. So it did fine considering I tried to kill it.

But, the rest of the stable has been fine until Mr. TC here started ghost lighting.
