Eleaf iStick and an RDA, opinions?

[ZacUnknown69]

So I currently bought my first mod (Le Petit Gros w/ Hobo V2 rda) its not bad, but I want something a little more..user friendly. I can't vape on that little guy more than an hour or 2 without swapping batteries. So I was thinking the iStick or iStick mini with a Smoktech mini rda? Thoughts or suggestions on an RDA to accompany the iStick?

See some links below for the types I like to use. For the I stick remember the top end is 20 w so building dual coils is not advisable. Also you need to stay above 1 ohm for the istick to fire.

Good thing about these is that they will work for single or dual coil. So should you need to put these on another device and do a dual build you can. Hate getting ones that just do dual as they have no way of blocking the airflow should you go with the one coil. I like the Plume a bit more for flavor, but the Doge has more room.

I highly recommend GS16S with istick mini. Perfect match

^^That's not an RDA.

Oh BTW I forgot to give you my .02 on the mini Istick. Don't get the mini, get the regular one, ti's still small and will last longer than the mini by about double. You seem to be swapping bats out as is, so no need to go to the mini route, as you can't swap bats and will need to USB charge the thing and that will piss you off more.

Get a nice small flavor atomizer like a cyclone. If you want something that gives you more time between needing to drip get a magma. The Infinite clones of the latter are good attys, so you need not spend a bundle.

Have you looked at the IPV mini or Cloupor Mini. I have the iStick, but it does have some limitations. Not a bad device overall and it is for the most part easy and user friendly. With that being said though I don't have the IPV mini or the Cloupor Mini so just throwing out some options. I looked at them, but since it was Christmas time I treated myself and got the SX mini. My wife would have preferred the IPV mini, but hey it is Christmas time right.

Almost forgot about the RDA part. I use a helios on my iStick, but it does take some time to heat up with dual coils. Good flavor and vapor though.

I use a Tugboat clone on my iStick. 1.0 - 1.2 ohm build at 18 to 20 watts and she works great.

I usually run a veritas and a vertex v2 in my iStick .

I build them at 1.3 ohm and power them with 17 W.

Great flavor , nice clouds.

Veritas is a nice dripper for regulated mods. I use mine on my Cana mod, with a single coil at about 1.3-1.6 at around 17w. I do 7 wraps of 28ga kanthal on 7/64 drill bit wicked with readyxwick, vapes nicely. Ramp up time is quick.

From my personal experience, many good RDAs work reasonably well on the iStick. Plumeveil, Magma, and Veritas are the ones I use right now on iSticks. Veritas is a pain in the .... to build, but it is the one I use daily.

Veritas can be a pain to build. Wicking a vertical coil is no cake walk. However if you are doing a single coil build in the veritas its not terrible. More fildy than a 3 or 4 post atty, but less likely to leak on you, holds a decent amount of juice, and with readyxwick, I only have to rebuild and rewick every few months

currently running an ISTICK with an ERL mini clone from FT.

only overhang, is slightly on the front where the button is, and thats because of the square interface. it dont bother me.

The ERL mini clone is a nice RTA on the iStick, for and RDA try the Fastech M6 (A7 mini clone?). It is a little bit of a pain to build but is great for flavor (better than the KF mini in dripper mode, IMHO).
