I am still using my 50W istick that did autofire about a month ago. I haven't had a problem with it since. I think I had only gotten a small amount of juice in it. I blotted it up with a tissue as much as I could and let it sit idle for a few days. It has been fine ever since. Don't let a little autofiring scare you or you could say that I just like to live dangerously!
I use the 50W in the house...remove tank when not in use.
Never had a problem with it, just don't trust it!

I still have 4 fully functional isticks (had 5, gave one away to someone in need). Never had a problem, even with the ones I accidentally dropped, including the 50W.
Once my relocation is finished, I plan on buying a black 100W for back-up. I don't vape anywhere near 100W, or 50W for that matter, but again, it's for the battery life.

I ordered a 40 W iStick today from Rocky Mountain, and a GS Air to test/use the 40s temperature control; my 20 and 30Watt iSicks are working fine with my 3 Nautilus Mini's, who knows maybe I will turn into a Tootle Puffer with the gs air with temperature control lol
I leave next Thursday for Italy for a new engineering job on a famous high speed Yacht, and figured its cheaper and easier to get my new iStick & GS Air shipped to me here in Ft. Lauderdale before I leave as I don't know how easy it is to get them or the cost in Italy and would rather be safe than sorry.

I gotta get used to folks callin those a GS Air. The original ones work good in TC for me... a tootle puff but they work good..
Bike I think you are going to turn into a top iStick 50 fixer/guru for many of those in need, and pick up a lot of parts for them from the ones that are thrashed and cant be fixed,
I have been following your posts here

When I first started typing this I could not remember how to spell Tootle Puffer correctly so I called it what it is
I did not have much time to spend on comparing what atomizers are available for the gs air using temperature control, Rocky Mountain only had one OHM wattage number listed and I needed to get the order in so I just ordered what they had. It was a sub ohm under under 1 ohm. I have never sub ohm-ed and would have preferred a higher ohm number but they only showed one for use with temp control
The .15 ohm coils are their nickel coils. Nickel is low resistance wire anyway but it won't be like the high watt sub ohm vape you get with kanthal. I thought you were talkin about the new tank that some are callin the GS Air. I built a nickel coil in an original GS Air before they announced the new TC 40w mod.
I've got another one comin in the mail now but I'm thinkin about retiring already
I can understand why I think, but as long as the controller chip is good I would think they are worth fixing,
I don't know for sure but I think I think the ones misfiring are from a run of bad/defective controller chips, and others are from juice inside or other defective parts.
My guess is some can be fixed and some cannot, for different reasons
regardless there are a lot of reports of dangerous bad ones, and its going to hurt the manufacturer hard on the 50 unless there is a major recall
Some can be repaired but I think they are gonna just "sweep it under the rug"
The GS Air "Tootle Puffer" I ordered comes with stock coil so I can finally find out why and how you guys like them so well I have been reading about for a long time.
The pack of coils I ordered for it are nickel I would think and is why they are shown for use for temperature control.
I like the idea of temperature control FEATURE the new 40 has, i.e. NO MORE BURNT COILS with the right nickel coils
This is mainly why I finally bought a gs air
PLUS i can also have a Tootle Puffer and join the group
i KNOW you guys are building coils for it I think, and I want to explorer this too
I have no idea yet if there are nickel coils for the Nautilus Mini?
I think your right, that's what it also looks like to me
And leaves a LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE DIRT THAT WON'T FORGET IF THEY DO THIS
IF ILeaf is this stupid I will never buy another thing from them just on principal and I am sure of lot of other people will never buy from them again either
I like my 20 and 30 they have been the best bang for the buck and work great
BUT there is a lot of hot new competition out there now
TC is a great feature to have. Back when we mostly had the SX Mini and DNA 40 mods doin TC, some tootle puffers were bashin it, but I told em they would be changing there minds when smaller less expensive ones came out. I can understand them thinkin it was for cloud chasers because of the low resistance of nickel. @USMCotaku has been fightin hard tryin to educate em on it.
But folks are startin to see the benefits now especially with the Evic and others...now the TC40. Those new coils will probably do TC better than the ones I built. Good choice
I like that... ILeaf or Esmoka. Maybe JoyeSmoka.
I would love to have your new job! How big is the Yacht? Do they need a welder/mechanic/electrician?
I lost all hope with the mini. GS Air is the ticket.
IMR I know you guys love them, for many good reasons.
My 3 mini's have been good! I am not going to though them away, I have metal and glass tops on mine and the glass never shatters when I drop them or accidentally smack them when working etc
I don't think GS's have this for their glass ?
Regardless I know you guys are custom rebuilding their atomizers and I like this
And the Mini is either very difficult to do this too, so I may just shelf them if I like the Tootle Puffer
