[Cheechako]

I'm hoping 'great legs' is talking to me (grin) - I'll try it and report, thanks!!!
p.s. 'great legs' is what I call my hubby after 47 yrs of marriage because his ARE (also) haha

Hopefully they don't look like Tibs!

It's the mini version of the 20 iStick. It has the same, but different settings. It doesn't go below 8 watts, although if you use the voltage settings you can get it to do what you want (imo). It's about a little over half the size of the original iStick, so you can fit it in your pocket and probably get it lost. I use it for work and as long as you're not chain vaping, it'll get you through an 8 hour day.

Does it use Mean and have the bad threads?

My threads are still perfect on 3 that I got the end of 2014. You have to be careful screwing heads on and you will never have a problem.
The mini is the same. And the mini does act as mean also, I believe.

Pardon me, I was directed to the 'old thread' and refused to read all of those 715 some pages (after 3 weeks reading the 15 mil posts 24/7 (grin)), just to get some real info about what I've just received (or will be getting) - 10W, 20W, 50W isticks...
Won the 50W on the 15mil posting from Vaping Zone - really like it but tis kinda big for a 70 yr old!! lol
waiting on a gifted 10W from one ECF member, and yesterday rec'd a 20W from another ECF member...

trying out the 20W I find it quite hot on the lips and so I keep lowering the volts down and down further... why isn't it cooling off?? Didn't have this problem with the 50W new one so am curious mostly...??? any help out there? Thanks! I'm basically a 2 yr old tootle puffer I learned (grin).

The 20w won't regulate below the current battery charge. If you use a 2 ohm or higher coil, it will vape cooler. At least a 1.8

why not wait till the 50 watt defender gets some reviews? if the posted dimensions are right it is the same size as the 25/36

Defender 50w Coming Soon

Defender 25/36 - Size: 35*23*86mm

edit:
Defender 50 - Size: 50*?*95mm same size

Thanks once again to alden.

Defender 50w Coming Soon

Defender 25/36 - Size: 35*23*86mm

Defender 50 - Size: 50*?*95mm

Yeah... No... The 95*50mm are the dimensions of the "print-ready" PDF. Caught me off-guard too! Notice the writing in bottom of the second panel. Size:85*38*23mm. The 50W is 1mm shorter and 3mm wider. Close enough for playing hand grenades...

lol .. yep, lost the reversible adapter which added height - not a problem, since my wife is using up the T3S stock on eGos but has an istick 30 and a Defender in rotation now that her 20W istick died.

The Subox width is 39mm and hardly negligible from the Defender.

 

[NancyB]

The 20W tends to run a little hot as it uses mean measurement...at least that's what I'm told.
30W and 50W run a little cooler...

Just getting to the end of this discussion, read read read FASTER! haha -
Thank you Cheechako for this basic info... will give a lower setting a try (down one more! lol)

Thanks Cheech -
(you'd think if Tibs has been around as long as he/she has, that his/her picture would change to look it???? hmm, my pics show my age...???) lol ie, 15 yrs of fulltime RVing in our retirement and that's my 'charm bracelet' from our travels... 12' long and growing, 308 charms....it was recently referred to as an anaconda! haha the stuff about the legs, I'm just plain ol' jealous is all)

My pleasure!
Thought it was some kind of "Squash Blossom" in your avatar I'd never seen before...

 

[NancyB]

Thanks to all for your help this p.m.!! I'm off to take a gander at the posts on the 15 mil pricewinners thread (grin). xoxox NancyB

 

[tiburonfirst]

she, nancy, she!

and here i thought it was plain to see

 

[Katdarling]

I offered a buck fiddy and a dead frog...no takers, I'm surprised.

Welp, that's cuz you have to put in the right amount.

I liked the 20W but wanted longer battery life, bought the 50W and became paranoid over the BLS!
I've had no problems with my 50W, just worry it's gonna go bananas on me or die.
I really like the 30W, very comfortable size and long battery life.
But, there are other mods coming on the market that will be much better...
Seeing as how I have 3 30W's, 3 20W's and a 50W, I do not plan on buying any mods in the
foreseeable future.

Such famous last words, my Cheechy friend.

I guess it's a good sign that there hasn't been much activity here. It suggests that there haven't been many problems with the newer iSticks. Of course, it could be that people have moved on to the competition.

I haven't bought anything since my 20 watters. I am somewhat interested in the Heatvape Defender 36w. I like that it's a little taller than the iStick 20w/30w.

Love love loving my Defender. And I am truly interested in the 50w...... for the replaceable batt alone!

Hey Nancy!! It's good seeing you here!
