The istick 30w is still accumulating moisture and responding to compressed gas shots. The 50w was DOA. I took it apart (much easier than the 30w) and it was clean and dry. Good solder and connections. A combination of 5 clicks on the fire button then hit the down button once got a screen display. I screwed an atty on. Nothing. 2 minutes later it autofired in my hand for the full 10 seconds then started again. I took the atty off. I then plugged it in the charger. I charged it until I got a full flashing charge indicator. That was last night. It was still flashing this morning unplugged. 30 minutes ago it died again. 4.07 V reading on firing board. Pressing the fire button doesn't put any voltage at the 510. I'll continue testing as far as I can and update but the preliminary finding is bad lektroniks.

Moisture continues in 30w

Everything looks clean and connections check out tight and soldered. No shorting of wiring.

I received an email from VapeTek tonight. They are now taking preorders for the 100W TC istick. $54.99

Eleaf Istick 100 Watt

The 40W is barely out and here comes the 100W!
Let's hope they are not rushing these to market with the same quality control issues of the 50W! :eek:

I'm through myself. My SX Mini has a new downloadable upgrade for Ti mode and 75w. Don't have to worry about buyin the next new thing with it, just download it from the computer...:)
Maybe one of these days I'll have enough money to buy an SX Mini! ;) Until then, the eVic and the TC istick will have to satisfy my TC urges. The eVic already accepts Ti coils although I can't see myself using them but one never knows! ;)

I think iSmoka eLeaf made a misstep with the 100 w box. Should have stuck with the internal batteries, and tucked in TC. In spite of my OCD telling me I must own them all, I think I'll take a pass on this one...
Yeah, I thought sure that's what it was goin to be. I can't believe they made this one.

Edit: It is not TC.

It's a bit on the large side too @ 100*54*26mm. Too big for my taste.
