Eleaf iStick : part 2

[love coffee]

I offered a buck fiddy and a dead frog...no takers, I'm surprised.

Cheech, I've got a busted Smart20 that I'll send ya for nuttin. Started getting the "no atomizer" message, and tried to "inch up" the center pin. Ended up "inching up" right out of the device. LMK if you want it. I'll never try to fix it. I'm just not savvy enough for the task.

Okay, it's about time to give this thread some love! It's been almost a week since posting on here.
My little mini 20 is going strong for work and right now (because I'm charging everything else, at the moment). Cool little mod. A little small for my hands, but I've adapted.

 

[Cheechako]

While I still like it, I have to make a conscious effort to use the 20W or the 50W for that matter.
The 30W has become my favorite!

I should just do it. I have yet to buy a 30.

I liked the 20W but wanted longer battery life, bought the 50W and became paranoid over the BLS!
I've had no problems with my 50W, just worry it's gonna go bananas on me or die.
I really like the 30W, very comfortable size and long battery life.
But, there are other mods coming on the market that will be much better...
Seeing as how I have 3 30W's, 3 20W's and a 50W, I do not plan on buying any mods in the
foreseeable future.

This is the most I've stuck to one mod in a long time. The 20's are pretty cool for me. I have been liking the 20 mini for work also.
I will probably wait also, but I kinda got the shinyitis for that white evic, (in case you haven't heard ).

If it's a good mod, it's a good mod!

I guess it's a good sign that there hasn't been much activity here. It suggests that there haven't been many problems with the newer iSticks. Of course, it could be that people have moved on to the competition.

I haven't bought anything since my 20 watters. I am somewhat interested in the Heatvape Defender 36w. I like that it's a little taller than the iStick 20w/30w.

 

[Cheechako]

The fiasco with the 50W is going to hurt the istick...
Too many great mods out there and more on the way!
Both mentioned above

why not wait till the 50 watt defender gets some reviews? if the posted dimensions are right it is the same size as the 25/36

My 20W stays at home with my Kayfun Undead on it. I take the Sigelei 30W mini, the IPV 2s and the KBox for all day excursions.

That's the first I've heard about it. It sounds good. I'm not in a rush to buy anything right now.

Nanny, I did! The blue and white porcelain plus a pink one. I will have all 4 colors in the 30W although my son uses the silver one. Plus, I have a silver and black in the 20W that Mud sent, a black 10W mini that I love, and a silver 50W. I think I now have enough isticks! Lol

Pardon me, I was directed to the 'old thread' and refused to read all of those 715 some pages (after 3 weeks reading the 15 mil posts 24/7 (grin)), just to get some real info about what I've just received (or will be getting) - 10W, 20W, 50W isticks...
Won the 50W on the 15mil posting from Vaping Zone - really like it but tis kinda big for a 70 yr old!! lol
waiting on a gifted 10W from one ECF member, and yesterday rec'd a 20W from another ECF member...

trying out the 20W I find it quite hot on the lips and so I keep lowering the volts down and down further... why isn't it cooling off?? Didn't have this problem with the 50W new one so am curious mostly...??? any help out there? Thanks! I'm basically a 2 yr old tootle puffer I learned (grin).

The 20W tends to run a little hot as it uses mean measurement...at least that's what I'm told.
30W and 50W run a little cooler...

nancy, with the 20 watt start at the lowest setting and increase till you find your sweet spot and forget about whatever settings were just right for you with your other mods!

Yeah, what Tibs said...

 

[NancyB]

I would not recommend the I stick 50w.I have been through 2 in 3 months.1 Shut off all the time #2 just got worse and worse.Shutting off and finely stopped working. It is a bummer I relay liked it..The shop I bough it from was great and Eleaf was great with any help.2 bad ones,I will try something else.

Ok, a bit now from a tootle puffer who's been using ego twists for 2 years and was looking for a battery that would last longer than the majority of a day (900/1000mah) and still be small in size...
I received my 50W iStick from Vaping Zone on the 15 mil post prizewinners thread on Saturday 6/13/2015, charged it up and it lasted me until about 1pm Thursday 6/18/2015 - talk about being AMAZED!! almost 6 full days? I've never used any kind of mod before (other than a Vamo which for this 70 yr old gal was just too BIG!)

I've been quite happy with the 50W, it's size, weight, performance, ability to lock what I choose in voltage, and turn it off and on when needed in my purse, rotating the display for my likes, seeing the battery symbol for how much power I might have left, etc. I did have two atomizer heads in my GS H3 (tanks) that wouldn't fire ("no atomizer" on screen), so I swapped them out for new heads and things worked well again. I've basically been using inexpensive clearomizers as well - some EVODs, and a couple others I found didn't work or last long enough... might now be interested in a nice tank to go with the 50W that is easy to use (I'm not a cloud chaser, nor a sub ohmer, nor a dripper) - keep it simple and I'm happy (grin).... Sorry to hear that leadpipe58 didn't have as good an introduction to these iSticks.

Now, on to figuring out what I'm being told on the screen between the battery symbol and the voltage I've chosen - regarding ohms and wattage... ????

Yes, same problem I had at first and I adapted to it. When I use my Sigelei, I have to set it to mean to get my sweet spot. I sort of wish that every mod had this setting now, whereas the majority of people don't like it.

I'm hoping 'great legs' is talking to me (grin) - I'll try it and report, thanks!!!
p.s. 'great legs' is what I call my hubby after 47 yrs of marriage because his ARE (also) haha
