The ones we got from our January co-op all had serial numbers and they were from the first batch.
You're speaking of the 50W, yes?

Yeah, sorry bout that. I see the 30w was being discussed. I bought a 30 early and it shot out 3 mos later. evape.us replaced it . I don't know about a code on it or not. They used to not require it or a receipt until so many failed. (50s, I mean)You're speaking of the 50W, yes?
Next day (yesterday)oops! Time to add my story. I have an istick 50 about 2 months old. My wife as 2 - 1 a month & 2 days old, the other 1 1/2 months old.
Well her newest one from VaporTek started auto-firing. The day before she said it had turned itself off. Hmmm did it auto-fire and heat up? Don't know. She was napping and woke to the sound of something sizzling - yep it was her istick. So we 'watched' it for the next hour and yep intermittently it would just fire-up for a few seconds then turn itself off.
Filed a 'case' with VaporTek. An hour later they responded to just send it back for a replacement.
Like a lot of you have said - we really like the size and batt life. Such a shame so many are misbehaving.
I'm waiting on an Evic VT. If it's not too much bigger/heavier for my wife. May get one for her too.
uh oh - I think wife's cause auto-firing. Yesterday I posted that my wife's 50 began the auto-fire syndrome. So we set that one aside, and I gave her mine to use. This morning mine is auto-firing. Yikes! That's 2 out of 3 that have flaked out.
Two of the latest 50w fails. Same family ....last 2 days..
Next day (yesterday)
No singular cause has been determined. I personally think the majority of problems are caused by improper cleaning and assembly. It appears that a piece of the 510 thread was causing one of mine to shut off and VV/VW switch. Probably left during the threading process. My 50w BLS mod had absolutely no leaking passed the 510 pin. Final determination was a faulty chip. There are probably several assembly errors leading to problems according to what I've seen. I have seen a few reports of juice leaks but few.My understanding is a far majority of the 50W's problems are caused by e-liquid leaking past the 510 onto the PCB. Is this correct?

I think they are becoming much more reliable. I think for marketing purposes, they may want to acknowledge the problems and announce improvements/modifications if any. letting people know the causes could save a lot of grief also if simple fixes can be done.I'm looking to get a second unit and was looking at the iStick 50........... Now I gotta look for something else LOL

I have the MVP3 now and was looking to up the wattage LOL. Does the eVic come in a higher wattage?

I'm a little confused now. I'm guessing the one I saw was the full kit and the one for 60 is an express?It's currently "on sale" for $59.99. Click on the above link...
