The fire buttons on these look like machined steel not chromed like the up/down buttons.

These plook for sure machined
The fire button still doesn't look like the ones in the ad.

My Rockymountain 40W TC, which I think is a quality authentic eleaf; fire botton does not like like these machined botton iSticks you ported

Mine looks like it is a stamped fire button and not machined

I have a non-functional K-box. Wanna take a crack at it? I'd keep it, but I already have a paperweight I like...
Sure...pm coming

If I can't fix it I can use the parts...

Jingles said Fake or real?


don't know for sure regarding your picture but

the guy I talked to at eleafus.com said their displays have a slightly green color, which I though kind of odd when he said this

Your picture has sort of a off white slightly green color

Jingles I think you are safe

All my iSticks have a white color display, maybe they would have a little color if I took a picture of them?
Also will look at them tomorrow in sunlight, light bulbs, of different type can greatly affect appearance of displays, and also camera pictures color

But don't think the blue ones are authentic, i think they are china knockoffs

Shawn mine look like yours
Mine looks like Shawn's, too. I don't really care if it's a clone but if it turns out it is, they will have some explaining to do. :) I emailed iSmoka about it. Still a good deal at 21 bucks with a good cable and adaptor.

In your initial pic, the screen DID look much bluer than mine which is why I blamed the camera.

Of course, they show up on camera as being closer to white which makes me question the calibration of my ocular orbs...
I have two 40W TC iSticks....both from Evape.us. My screen looks a lot like the picture here...a sort of grey-ish blue-ish color...almost white... that I know from experience (with a uniform issue that came up with one of my jobs) can be "seen" as being on the green side. I don't see it that way..but in the case of the uniform shirt in question, my boss and other employees on shift that day insisted that there was a green tint to it. I showed the shirt to some other people and 3 out of 4 did not see the green, either. So....it's a tricky color shade, I guess. My fire button is flat. Like the picture here. The stock photo in this thread from Eleaf the fire button appears to have a nipple look to it. I thought Evape was a reputable Eleaf vendor. That's what I understood from reading on ECF anyway. Not that I'm complaining. My 30Ws look more white...but not as bright as the 20W.

That look is from being machined not stamped out or cast. I don't think they use machined buttons on any of them.



Evape.us is a good company.:2c: They replaced a bad istick 30 of mine at a couple of days short of the 90 day warranty with no questions asked.

I've been very impressed with Evape.us so far! Was sorry they don't seem to carry the GS Air 1.5 original coils anymore. Perhaps they'll get more in later.

My 40W is working ok. I would just be upset if I found out that the genuine ones had better, longer lasting batteries than the fakes.
Mine lasts 2 days and my coils last for at least 3 months.
Let's not forget that Eleaf claims to know nothing about the GS Air M's and MS's. :D

And Fourthrok has a good point - people often see colors differently.
Did eLeaf seriously say that? Lol

Is the 40w IStick your main or only mod? I recharge mine about every other day also, but I am using 7 other devices simultaneously. Still on my first coil after about 5 weeks...

I was yanking your chain, I've only owned the TC 40 for two weeks.the stock coil has lasted so far. I tried the TC coils and I don't care for the way the mod works in TC mode or the tighter draw of the TC coils. My battery lasts close to all day depending on my intake which is generally 5-10 ml at 10-12 watts on the standard coil.
