In the past week both of the 2 20's I bought a year ago have started to fail. I think it must be the funky 510 connections which also have the funky flippy adapters on them. The coil resistance jumps all over the place and the wattage drops off. I have to readjust the wattage constantly. The battery life is still good after daily use for almost a year.

It is indeed a good thing I also have 1 50w, 2 30w's, and just received 2 40w's. All of which are working very nicely, thank you.

Not bad durability considering the 20's cost less than 2 cartons of Camels.

This going on several threads so I can find who dunnit...

The big deal for today was getting VAPEMAIL! Not only did I get some juice, but a box that I did not order (and if I won it, no vendor has told me so). Lannie claims she did not order it either. And there are only about three people on this forum that I am aware of (not including all the vendors) who know my mailing address. But someone bought a brand new iStick TC40W Limited Edition and had it drop-shipped to me. This person did not forewarn me and, so far, no one has even suggested this might happen. If it was you, or if you know who did it, please PM me so that I can thank him/her personally.

I say this is Limited Edition because these things come in silver, gray, black, or blue. The wood grain is NOT a cheap wrapping. It was manufactured that way.

I like the way the SX Mini performs in TC better because it's PWM. Not that much better, especially 170 bucks better. :) But compared to the VaporShark and Evic, it's equal and even better because of the size. It reaches the preset temp with 40w instantly then drops to 18w, 12w, 17w etc. to maintain it depending on how you draw air through it. The Evic would just go instantly to temp protection then back on, which in my opinion is cutting the power completely off. The TC40, if not drawing on it, will reach temp with 40w then drop to maybe 18, 14, 12, and then temp protect if no air is flowing, which makes me think that is a more appropriate and better action for a chip to produce for temp control. The SX Mini shows temperature and steady power. If drawing on it, the temp stays constant around the preset. If you fire it without drawing the temp drops to around half the preset and doesn't go into temp protect. It just pulses the power slower to prevent overheating the coil. It will only show temp protect and cut off with a dry atomizer display when the wick dries out completely. The TC40 is much simpler to use than any of them and much cheaper so it is my choice because it still does the same job. I still get 6 to 8 hours on a charge with a twisted .06 ohm build in an ST Mini but that would probably be more with a higher ohm single wire coil. I also chain vape more than not. In the case of TC mods, more money will only get you more battery life:2c:


GREAT review BIKE and full detail description, not to mention the additional comparison to the iStick TC 40W

THANKS!

I call it "dog park friendly" cause I can clip it on easily, and it doesn't drag my pants down
I call it pocket friendly....makes a difference if you have to carry it at work
Wow, is it really that small? How is it comparable to the 20? As you all know by now, I've always pocketed the 20, at work. :)
