Good point. I had an iSmoka 50w that went BLS in 2 months. I have another one 4 or 5 months old (a replacement) that has 0 issues and looks brand new. (still in the box) :)

agreed, people would say their coils last a month or their battery lasts for 2 days, but then i always ask how many mls of juice at what wattage.
my vaping habit are 30+mls/day shared/rotated between 2 istick 30w w/2stminis rba/s 1.0 ohm at ~25watts.
i recharge both isticks a min. of twice/day , bought the isticks back in feb, they lasting longer than i thought except for one giving me protection error when firing.
a new 100w would fit nice into my lifestyle

Bikenstein YOU ONLY Paid $21 for your iStick 40?

If so are you sure its not a china clone KNOCKOFF and A GENUINE 40W iSTICK???

That price is extremely LOW

YOUR DISPLAY IS BLUE in your picture, MY Rockey Mountain Vapes 40 W iStick display IS WHITE

I have never seen a Blue OLED Display on anyone's iStick or in genuine pictures

The security code checked out and kicked back the right serial number so I don't know. I'll check further about the blue screen. The sale is over but I still think they are about 25 or 26 bucks with free shipping.

Bike I care about you!!!
Don't want you getting ripped off, I called eleafus.com and was told they do not have/make/use
BLUE OLED displays on their iSticks! 855-569-3168

ALSO Looked up wholesale cost per 1000 pieces for the 40W @ eleaf ismoka Alibaba.com wholesale price per 1000 pieces is listed as $23 each cost not including shipping

i THINK YOU GOT A CHINA KNOCKOFF

I wouldn't be surprised. I've heard that they figured how to hack the security codes. The display is almost white..a light blue tint that I haven't seen on other iSticks. The pic looks dark blue. Eleaf.us is a distributor. Eleafworld.com is the rep company in the US. iSmoka's number is 86-755-33193193. I'm lookin at the fire button too. It's chromed plastic, I think. The photos of others look like machined SS

They have the same fire button too. Anyone with a TC40....is your fire button chromed plastic?

My TC 40 iStick fire button, Chromed Metal; but not magnetic

cant tell for sure on the fire button outer ring but think it is also chromed metal?


note: they can chrome plastic, and fool you

I would think that the fire buttons are plastic like the up/down buttons, but it's hard to tell. I don't have a small magnet handy.

Now I am paranoid about my 40W TC. The display is not as white as on my 20W ISticks, but it doesn't look as blue as Bike's does. My fire button does feel kind of plastic-like too. I got mine from Rocky Mountain about a month ago.

why? ;) if i remember right your 40 watt tc is working well and you are happy with it ..........
