So initially I didn't understand the hype behind the ccell because I got a Ni ccell and tried to run it TC on my mod. Hated it. No flavor, just hot and bland. THEN, I got some of the kanthal .9s and promptly forgot to prime the thing. Wow, that was not fun. THEN THEN, I primed it, let it sit for a few and vaped it. It was and is amazing. Best flavor I've had since I started vaping, very pleased with these coils. I have one in my Triton and one in my Atlantis. They're awesome. I know jack and s#!* bout all this stuff so take it with a grain of salt, but those ccell coils are amazing.

Yup. Compatible with most (all?) tanks designed around the Atlantis/Triton heads. A smaller head version would also be a good seller. A Nautilus coil would be good, based on the number of tanks designed around it. Of course, a GS Air version would be superb! Rebuilding would probably not be an option, however.
No rebuilding! :shock:
:lol:

Damn Girl that is a Good Price on the iStick 100 TC! I did not see that Special? And I check Gear Best pretty Regularly!

Don't forget to Post those Pics with the New Wrap! Make Em Yours!

There was a Place that had the cCells for $9.99 a Set Best Price I've seen so far but keep looking! Were did you get your Stainless cCells from?

The way these cCell Ceramic Coils Last you don't need many to have a Life Time supply!

Skully {:{}
I think I got an e-mail about the Gearbest price. Either that or I found it on VapeCrawler... Now I can't remember! I will definitely post picks when I get my wrap and new tips. :)

Wow, $9.99 is a great price for the cCells! The SS ones haven't been released yet but it's getting close. The Gemini tank is available for preorder on Heaven Gifts so it will be released shortly. I cannot wait to get my hands on one of those tanks!! I wish it came in white. I love my white Target tank and I would definitely pick up more white tanks if I had the option to do so. I love the top fill tanks.

The Triton 1 I last received was a clone; when I first disassembled it after opening the box I saw a very thin strand of wire end sticking out of one of the inner holes in the barrel chamber and thought what the F is this doing here??? Got some special needle pliers I have and gently pulled this wire out; it turned out to be a coiled spring wire probably for tensioning one of the air adjustments is my guess and not installed correctly or was broken at the factory ? I refused the shipment sent it back!!!

I have another Triton 1 I ordered next coming on Friday this one is authentic aspire; is not a clone pos!

FYI It is kind of difficult to find quality and genuine and not sold out now due to dumping sales of Triton 1s to make way for redesign Triton 2 ver 2!

With my TC nauti MINI aspire NI 0.2 ohm coils on the 40 W iSick I run them usually about 350-375 degrees F with 50/50 pg/vg and I am fine with that; however I have cranked it up to 500 F a few times but have no interest in blowing clouds and and juice. Normally in TC mode I am set on 40 watts

I have no idea what the NI TC cCells
temp or wattts I will use until i finally get to try one on I hope Friday ???

Was a little surprised you find need to go to 600 with the cCells, but I believe you and font know yet until I get to finally try one.

Can't wait for Friday to come to finally try a cCell
I had the same problem with the ni cCells. I couldn't get it to heat up enough on the Target mod but I did have better luck on my little Cloupor Mini+. I got a good vape at around 350 but at 355 it was HOT. Too finiky for me, lol.

You do know you can upgrade your iStick 40 to Ti mode, right? I upgraded mine but passed it along to my almost son-in-law before I did very much with it in Ti. He broke his mod and needed a replacement ASAP, so that's what he got. :) If you didn't know, you just turn the mod off and hold the down and power buttons down for about 45 seconds and it will show you Ti mode. If you already knew this, then forget I said anything! :D

I wish I had tried the Ti mode out more before I piffed the mod, but oh well. I did build one coil and try it out but I didn't use it for very long. I am just not that into coil building at this point. #lazyvaper :D

Shawn Hoefer posted over in the contest thread that he received one. I don't think he mentioned a review on it.
@Shawn Hoefer what can you tell us?
For some reason, I never got notified of that tag. Sorry I'm late in responding.

It's bad. It's not Triton RTA kit bad, but only barely. The first unit had the set screw jammed, and MVS replaced immediately, so kudos to MVS.

Anyone have the dreaded 'atomizer short' with the Istick 60w TC?

Mine was acting 'funny' a few weeks in.
Seemed it was the 'phatom click' thingy.
But it was/is giving the 'atomizer short' error.

Has gotten worse....
Now it shows it with no atomizer attached...
and shows 0.4 ohms...
and the screen flickers.
Seems like a problem with the chip rather than the ground?

Of course, it was week 5 it 'died'.
1 week past the 30 day 'warranty'. (HA!)
Guess I can take it apart now - can't break what's broke!
Next weekend.....

Never got a chance to try the TC.
Gonna get another one (want 2) ... maybe another vendor...
Can't complain too much.
100% perfection with all purchases up to this.
And only out $25. :unsure:

You tried pushing gently on the 510 pin to make sure it wasn't hung up? It could also be a cold solder joint in the circuit that just gave out.
