Thanks. Because of language and proximity you can order anything you may need from the UK - even though the exchange rate isn't very convenient - with a turnaround time via tracked mail around 10 days/2 weeks.
Good that you mix your own liquids.. Focus on bringing with you high nicotine content base (72mg/ml), depending on how much daily nicotine you need, VG and PG (and flavoring) can be had at low cost here - say 12 bucks for a litre (quarter US gallon).
Drop me a PM, we'll take it from there ;)

I really like my new 40watt TC iStik so far, using it with my mini Nautilus's and a new GS Air
Only been using it since yesterday afternoon and had bought nickel factory TC atomizers for both

First Impressions, using at 450-470 degrees temp
The taste of juice is far better using TC cotton atomizers then I have ever experienced before and what is nice I think, I no longer have to worry about running it dry before refilling, WoW; and I think the TC atomizers will last longer because they run so much cooler

Both my 20 and 30 watt iSticks even when set at fairly low wattage burn juice slowly and after a few tanks need to be washed in a soapy solution and than rinsed clean or they start changing favor to not so good

BTW the GS Air puts out plenty of vapor and the taste is good, but I think my Nautilus mini with TC coils is still better than GS Air with TC atomizers, but still comparing

I thought the same thing....I'm happy to finally find someone who thinks so too.

Long time no visit this thread, I was pretty much one of the early adopters of the Isticks, just thought I'd jump in and update my Istick family status.
3x Istick 20 All working fine yet no issues.
2x Istick 30 both working great yet, pretty much my favorites of the Isticks
1x Istick 10w mini doesn't see much use, but still works great.
1x Istick 50 works alright, but acts goofy now and then, shuts down, only way to revive is plug it in, sometimes on firing says low power even when fully charged, not reliable to take anywhere, glad I only bought one.

Lynn I think the 40 has the potential of being the lead of the ISticks due to temp control but I guess we will see?

So far I like it

glad I didnt get the 50w feel sorry for those who did unless eleaf recalls it and makes good on it, way to many issues with it

I am not sure how to send you a PM? Thought I could do it by going to your profile but don't see anywhere there how to private message you, or even from mine????

Help please

I like the 40W but not paired with the GS TC tank. I like it better when I use it with the mini nautilus. But I've never tried rebuilding those heads. I have to wait until I get some different gauge nickel wire instead of the 28 gauge I have now.

I bought a GS Air with the order for the 40 watt TC, It works ok and I think I see why people like it so much but there are somethings I dont like about it i.e. the way you fill it and can not clean it quickly and easy compared to the Nautilus but it does have good taste and seems to put out lots of vaper, and I am still testing it out

But I am still very happy with my 3 nautilus's and now even more so with TC coils for my 40 watt

Thanks Lynn,

Question WHAT TEMP you running on your 40 with TC and your nauti's?

I have been using 450-470 so far

Still messing with it, decent enough, build quality is quite nice 7ml capacity is pretty decent as well, a little fiddly to get it positioned properly on the mod. More pics here Square tank made specifically for box mods!!! (KS RTA) | Page 3 | E-Cigarette Forum
Thanks!
Like I posted over there, I need to get one of these as soon as they are available at FC, FT or possibly even GB.

OT
Do you have a KLoud? Is it a decent atty and worth getting the Hotcig version from FT?

Yeah I have a hotcig K.loud, I like it, has a few minor issues, needs the Airflow path in the little tank opened up a bit, Easy to do, I just used a couple micro scewdrivers twisted them through, o-rings are a bit on the loose side, but doesn't bother me. Great flavor, not really a cloud monster, not much capacity, but its nice if you just want a quick change of flavors.

It caught my eye a while back and I had read a bit about the airflow mod. Sounds like another great little atty.
