Eleaf iStick 60W TC

[ricks]

Thanks, Can't wait to get it. Hope they ship quickly. The sigelei mini is the mod I use daily during the day and the edges are sharp making it uncomfortable. Sucks that it only lasted 6 months. The istick looks like it will fit and feel great in my hand. I'm a wattage only vapor myself and will someday try TC. Love that I can use a lanyard also. That should come in handy.

Hello,
boy are you gonna be surprised
I think the TC60w is more than I expected, and for the price
FOR ME, it is so comfortable, that center 'swell' JUST FITS PERFECT
magnetic doors, center 510, weight, simple controls...

guess going on 3 weeks and so far, so good-
the output power signal seems right-on, working good
battery life has been very good (not a gas hog)
I've tried TC on it, but mostly run in Watts mode
seriously considering buying 3-4 more (x2, wife also)
batt/Ω/V display is kinda small - but I set 'em and done...
I even put them in stealth mode set it-forget it
got the silicone sleeve, add lanyard, even tried the USB charge
it all is just a marvelous package...

hope to hear what you think when ya get it...

good luck

you're talkin about the Sigelei mini 30w ?
I kinda liked something about that one, but never bothered to get one

wish I could say the TC60 was gonna last 2-2.5yrs or more
but at this time no way for me to say
sadly it would probably be a 'switch' that takes it down (if that occurs)

but carrying on, from the Sig BOX, to the sexy lines, feel of the TC60...
YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED - I'm positive
I got the blk-on-blk / wifes' is silver body-blk panels
hers looks SO sweet, like jewelry (hate to cover it in silicone)
I can't tell the diff between silver or chrome, it's so subtle hard to tell...


I, can't wait till ya get it

I wonder which silver I'm getting??? I don't think it says. I hope it's the Brushed silver.

just had a thought

looked @ my boxes, they say:

█ Silver
█ Black

no chrome...


?

What metal is the silver one? Someone thinks it's aluminum. I heard it was SS.

The glass is really tough to get off. I've had mine off several times, and it still is hard to get off.

did you get the kit with the Melo 2 ?

I CANNOT get the glass off of that dumb thing...

I don't think it is aluminum, but heck I can't tell
been inside the sleeve most of the time...

thought the panels were plastic, but they are a metal of some kind also...

YES ! had a ruff go of it, but I got mine off

that bottom clear o-ring GLUED itself to the glass
after I finally got it off, it was a job getting the stuck o-ring
off the inside of the glass...

I put one of the OTHER SETS of o-rings on it, wipe it down with eJuice
and it comes off with little trouble...

 

[greasegizzard]

Mine haven't been that stuck yet. I will try to remember to put a little juice on it next time I put it together. I bet that does help.

yes, it was terrible... (went thru a great deal of effort to get it off without breakage)

just a habit, I have a q-tip with eJuice on it and lube everything (never a dry surface)

 

[greasegizzard]

I do that now with both of my TFV4 tanks. Those o rings are bad about grabbing and twisting out of place during assembly if you don't. I don't know why the thought never occurred to me to do it with other tanks.

I always laff at reviewers , especially with drip tips
they try to cram a dry rubber o-ring tip into a dry hole

then make a comment, "well that kinda sux, they could make it better"...

tips, threads, o-rings, coils (top-n-bottom)

It appears to be die-cast but it's too light to be pure zinc, probably an alloy with aluminum.

I was gonna "speculate" , but since I don't know why bother

but the 'zinc-alloy' seems to be pretty big usage - strong, light, corrosive resistance, but MAINLY CHEAP !

it just seems sturdy and well built - guess that's good enuff for me & my girl...

Ok now I am gonna make some mad at me - I am gifting the 2 iSticks to a friend who in turn will gift them to others. I loved the look and feel of them and even bought a bunch of silicone covers. But I still like the MVPs no fuss no muss and I own 8 of them 4 of the Shine Edition 11W and 2 of the regular 11W and 2 of the 20W. I use maybe 8W at most. There is no way I can use up the 8 batteries in the time I was told they would be good for - so I decided to pass them along too. I tested the 25R 18650 in the iSticks and they lasted me a wee bit over 3 days. The MVPs last me 6 days so for me it was a matter of less up keep. I still think they are great mods do not take this wrong - please. I just think someone else will enjoy them and get more use out of them.

hey, at least you got-a-plan...

only thing I have been thinking of, is if there is a choice and something stupid
is enacted by the powers that be, when your internal batteries die - it's over...
my thought is , it was time for me to replace and upgrade after 2+ yr (MVP) so 'why not'
do the replaceable battery style...

with said 'choice' (replaceable battery) we'll have a prolonged fighting chance JMO

at least you're going with perhaps the finest handheld vape machine

Good Luck and don't forget to visit us here in TC60W world...

Just got my iStick and it's great. It's pretty much the exact size of my failing Sigelei mini. It looks like the frame stainless steel and the black covers feel like a cast metal. The feel in my hand is really nice. Now I have to find a lanyard for those times I might need it. I also have one of those wrist lanyards that can be adjusted so it can be safely carried. Just have to find it... Have to try TC soon. This is my second mod that has it.

all right ! that's great - pretty sweet , huh

I was looking at wifes' TC60 last nite, out of the silicone case and again had same reaction;
it makes me think of like a pocket watch or something - I think it looks classy...

as I looked at her TC60, sure seems like brushed stainless steel, but I just can't tell

so did you get a Melo 2 tank with it... ?

enjoy, & good luck with it

No Melo, I like my Gems and KF4's. I like the stealth mode. I can just touch the fire button and see my settings easily and back to stealth. So far it's a lot better than I hoped. Need to look into TC now. What is the best wire to use???

glad to hear you likey...

I don't care for Ni and have never used it (requires WAY to low Ω's for me)
I use Ti 30g , and shoot for appx .5Ω - .6Ω around a 2.5mm - 3.0mm
in my hand now: Ti .43Ω @ 44w / 480°

this is where I got my roll, (he had 30g)
- Pure Titanium Wire - 100% Guarantee - Specific for Jewelry Surgical Grade 1 - You Pick Gauge 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 - Unkamen Supplies

26g is as big as it gets here
- Titanium Wire (Surgical Grade 1)

I wanna try some SS (TC60 doesn't TC SS)
but in place of kanthal, just to try, but can't find a good place
to get 316 30g...
