eLeaf iStick 20 W and 30 W - ohm issue ?

[Remko]

Hello,

I ordered both from fasttech and they are authentic as i can see with all scratch codes and etc..

However, I am not sure if its common issue or if it's really a big problem but at first few days my Nautilius Mini 1.8 ohm was recognized by the istick as 1.8 ohm but recently its now 2.0 ohm.

I wanted to ask is that a common issue with it and should I worry for something?

Looking back to hear from you and lets say Hello to everyone. I just registered ...

Kind Regards.

Welcome to ECF! Unfortunately, many variables read toppers at different resistance. A tenth or so is not unusual. The only time it's really a problem is if you've got a low ohm device and the mod says it's below the firing point. In the range you're running, it's not a problem, just annoying.

Hey Remko, I also have an "authentic" iStick 30w, which bounces my Nautilus Mini 1.8 ohm coils .1 to .2 higher. I run mine in Watts, which i've read compensates for variances in ohms, due to heating and cooling. I am frustratingly disappointed in my setup, rarely do I get two similar vapes. Good luck.

Hello and welcome to the forum Remko. Glad to have you here!

Very common. As you use your coil "gunk" gets deposited on the coil causing the ohms to rise. Dark, sweet and/or complex juice will "gunk" up faster than lighter juice.

I have a 30 and a 20 and waitin on 2 of the 50's. No problems, especially with the 30. Both are consistent with a consistent vape. I also agree with Susan and have had readings like that happen with every VV/VW device I've owned. Coils do change and also I've bought some that read up to .2 ohms different from the factory specs. Get a good meter if it is important to cross check. Welcome to ECF

 

[Remko]

Thank you a lot for the warm welcome and for the explanations.
However, I want to ask a question once again ...

This is what I bought --> fasttech.com/products/3032/10011027/2082306 from fasttech and it says Authentic.
As I saw a lot of fasttech products are sold as fakes and also fasttech is blacklisted on the Aspire website here: aspirecig.com/copycat/

However, I believe if it says Authentic and it comes with the scratch codes and all then it should be all good and original ? Should I worry that its not really original from fasttech or ?

I will really appreciate a reply on that matter. Thank you once again in advance!

Go to the istick site and validate your code.

It says its valid on the istick site .... I checked it already but still wanted to ask if it should be all good from fasttech and if its original ? It says Authentic on the item at fasttech and the scratch code is verified on the istick website. So that means fasttech got me a fully valid and original istick and i shouldn't worry at all ?

 

[Bikenstein]

This is true

 

[Remko]

This is true

So, if the code is valid then all is good and i shouldn't worry at all?

I had concerns because i saw they sell a lot of fake stuff. So, overall its fine to purchase from fasttech because when it says 'Authentic' in front of the items name then that means its 100% original and its all good ... is that correct, sir ??

If it's not authentic fastech usually says Istick style and it's usually cheaper. you are good. fire that smoke wagon up.

I purchased this one --> (copy it since i cannot post links yet) --> fasttech.com/products/3032/10011027/2082306

I believe its all good with it and its 100% original as it says in the title and the scratch code is all good too, correct ?

 

[Bikenstein]

I won't guarantee that, but they don't mind selling clones and revealing them as clones or "types". Any mistakes could be made in a listing. There are also many vendors worldwide that sell clones along with authentics.

Because I tested the code on the istick website and it says its valid and original but still wanted to ask you guys ...

Can you see this one and tell me sir: fasttech.com/products/3032/10011027/2082306

Basically should I worry for anything when the scratch code works or all is good and fasttech is actually honest when its authentic in the title of the item?

I have three mini's on iStick 30's right now, they are all showing 1.9 ohm.

Did you purchase your istick from fasttech ?

Basically I am worry about fasttech and are they actually used widely for purchase of authentic isticks? I bought mine from them few days ago ...

My istick came with working scratch code but still I have a concern if its 100% original from fasttech ? Should I worry or fasttech is all good and when scratch code works its 100% original ?

Remko,

You've asked the same question 4 times and 2 members were kind enough to assure you.

Yes, if the scratch code says it's an original then it's an original.

I wouldn't trust FastTech as far as I could throw their warehouse, but if you validated the code on the actual company's website then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. I also have an iStick 30 that I'm running with a SubTank Mini. With both the OCC pre-built and the RBA sections they originally read at .5 and are now reading .6, so I wouldn't be too concerned. With my MVP and iTaste VV they also read slightly off the stated resistance of the coils I was using at the time.

 

[Remko]

Sorry for asking but wanted to make sure.

I had concern that if website sells fakes and authentics .. its something fishy and when its blacklisted on Aspire as well...

Is actually fasttech widely used from vapers here to make purchases of authentic items and its all safe to purchase from them because as someone said above if its fake it will be listed as styled or anything similiar but if its actually 100% original then it will be as Authentic in the title, is that totally correct sir ?

Thank you all and great community .. congratz!

I haven't heard from anyone who has said that Fasttech tried to pass off a clone as authentic. I checked the 30 watts there and they appear to be authentics with the right markings. If the code shows valid, it's an authentic no matter where you bought it. Hacking the codes would not be something a cloner would do. They operate in a legal manner, hence you usually see the word style, type, or clone in their ads. Usually they don't put a manufacturers stamp on them like is on the bottom of your stick. You have no worries unless we all do
