Hey CoolAddict: How Ya Doing? I didn't know you tried the cCell Ceramics!?? I have tried many many tanks and Coils trying to find the Best in Flavor, Vapor and Life Span. I have found some Great Coils. The cCells offer those who are looking for it Extremely Long Coil Life! And Depending on their eliquid Great Flavor and Vapor! But as with anything there are those it's just not their thing or doesn't work for them. But for those that it does work for like some have said previously it can be a Game Changer! Especially in Coil Life!

I have nothing bad to say about the cCell Ceramics so far I'm one day from a month of Heavy Use in Eight (8) tanks with Various levels of eLiquids from the Very Light Low VG to the Very Dark High VG Heavy Coil Killing Liquids! Half are in TC Mode the other Half in Wattage Mode .3 & .9 ohm Coils. Frequent inspections show no sign of need of cleaning or any type of degradation! I was going to give a a Month update on them but I think this little post will do cause from what I've seen so far a month is Nothing to these cCell Ceramic Coils so I will wait to report more on them later.

Isn't the New Generation iStick 100w TC a Great Device! So much more user friendly then the previous version 100! Slimmer more Compact Design makes it more Pocket Friendly! The Hidden Fire Button with Switch to shut it off so it Wont Fire in Pocket or Purse is Great! Dual 18650's Yeah Baby that will last all day for sure! Topped with a SMOK TFV4 Top Fill is a Nice All Day Setup! I think the White one with Some Type of Opaque Candy Pink Wrap might be Right up your alley!

Hi iStick people! It's true. I am in LOVE with the sintered ceramic coils! I love the flavor and vapor and I really love the long coil life. That's just my my impression, though. I know they aren't for everyone. That's what's so great about this industry. A build for every vaper! :D

But since this is an iStick thread, I want to say that I LOVE the iStick 100w TC. I am not a die-hard TC fangirl and I use mine in VW mode but man oh man. Battery life is truly impressive and the squeeze fire button is perfect for me. It feels great in my hand and I don't ever accidentally fire it off while holding it, which is something I do with my X-Cube II, lol. I don't know why anyone would hate on the iStick line. I have had all of them except for the 60w TC and the regular 100w and they have all been amazing. Now if only Eleaf would listen to my whining and release a nice candy pink version of the 100w TC I would be a very happy camper. Errr, vaper. :D

Apparently you need to start at 35 watts or so to avoid the lag... :)

My experience with the Vaporesso tank is very similar. The 0.9Ω KA1 coil will MTL. But the coil is fairly useless under 30W. A 30-35W MTL vape on these cCells, while very doable, is a real mouthful; not something a tootle puffer would enjoy, I would imagine.

Not this Kat's... :lol:

And yes, as always, YMMV. Taste is subjective. Whatever works. :D

Prolly not this one, either. I've added a simple Kayfun Lite to my mix, and I'm really liking it! NO, I did NOT wick and wire it (that's what friends are for). :D

So it's Aspires, Cerotanks, Kabuki, and now Kayfun for the toppers of choice.

I do hope the Vaporessos bring many delights to those who vape them tho. :toast:

SKULLY!!! It's so good to "see" you!! I've often wondered how you have been doing and where you've been. It's been a long time! :)

Yep, for me the sintered ceramic coils are nirvana. I absolutely LOVE them!! I won a Target setup in a contest and that was it for me. I'm sold. Vaporesso has a new tank coming out, the Gemini, that is TOP FILL!! There will also be stainless steel cCells to go with that tank and, I'm sure, the Target tanks as well. I can't wait!!

Yep, I am seriously loving the iStick 100w TC. I got the gray one and the only thing I don't like about it is the color. It's just so...gray. :p I will most likely end up ordering a white one and just wrapping this one in a candy pink wrap so I can swap out the doors on them and have 2 white and pink mods, cuz that's just how I roll. :D Now that I know the upgrade process is a snap I am even happier with this device. Not that I NEED 120 watts, but who knows what Eleaf will do for the next upgrade. Maybe a menu change in TC? I would not be upset if they fixed that menu, lol.

I didn't know you were a sinterhead! You should jump into one of the Target threads and spread some of your sunshine and expertise there, too!

It has Been a Long Time CoolAddict! Really Good to See Ya! You been Building Your Ark with all this Rain! I'm so over the Rain! I'm Ready for Spring! My Aprilia which has been in the shop for months they finally have completed so it will be ready to Ride! They will be delivering it next week! Yee Haw!

I'm not a Total Sintered Head I still like Some other Coils too and I'm still into my Build Decks! I have Not Tried Vaperesso's Tanks or Mods and Not Sure I will I have so many Tanks now! But I was Seriously Curious about the cCell Ceramic Coils! I'm Glad they are working out for You!

I know some Folks are Concerned they take lots of Power to Run I Really haven't Found that! Most I Run in Wattage mode are right around 25 watts but yes with certain eLiquids You can Crank the wattage up I have a couple in the 35 to 38 watt range. Not Really any different from the Aspire Atlantis, Kanger Subtank & HeatVape Ecotank Coils I use!

I would like to Try those Stainless Steel cCells!

What I'm Really Looking Forward too is the Next Generation of Ceramic Coils that will Out Do these!

I purchased one of the New Generation iStick 100 watt TC's in Gray I was so impressed I purchased another in White now I'm in search of another in Black! Yeah, I don't need the Full 120 watts either! These are Sure Nice Mods! Very Reasonably priced if you Shop Around! Under $40 is pretty easy to find! Good idea to pair up your batteries for them!

Maybe I will check out these sites you speak of?

Have Fun with Your New Toys!

I am TOTALLY over this rain!! Today was so cold and dreary. It's time to bring on the sunshine!!! :)

I still have my other tanks, too. I have my Atlantis tanks, the Heatvape, various and sundry iSub tanks, and a Reaper Plus in daily rotation but my favorite for flavor and vapor is definitely the cCell. I don't find I have to use any extra power on the kanthal heads. I did have a problem using the nickel head on the Target mod because it didn't get the juice warm enough for my liking, but I am not a big fan of nickel anyway. The kanthal head runs at the same temps as my other coils of similar resistance, but with more flavor and vapor!

I am also anxiously awaiting the next gen ceramic coil tech! I would love to get my hands on one of those Guo Altus setups, but I will have to wait for a price drop on that one! :shock:

I went shopping for some clothes for my gray iStick today. I have it narrowed down to 4 wraps, all in some variation of pink (and one with white paw prints on it!) so I will wrap my gray one and get a white one, too. Did you see this deal? Can't very well pass that up!! :D

Hey Girl if You are Looking for another iStick 100 watt TC check out Angel Cigs! Best price on the Internets for a White One Right now!

Don't forget those cCells will work in your Atlantis Tanks! I have them in my Triton, Atlantis 1 & 2's & the Giant Mega Tanks! I Really Like Em in the Mega Tanks! I'm running the .3 and .9 ohm cCell Coils.

You'll have to share some pics of your newly wrapped iStick 100 TC!

The Guo Altus is State of the Art but Price is a bit Limiting but I may try one?

Bring on The SUN!!!!

Skully I received my pack of nickel cCells Friday; refused a Triton 2 v2 order that was shipped to me, also Friday ordered a Triton ver 1, I should receive it tomorrow Monday; and finally get to test/try the cCell ceramic TC with my 40W iStick

Hello Kelog... Just to drop my :2c: on the nickel cCells. I was not impressed with them for some reason. There is a definite 'night and day' difference between them and the Kanthal coils. I'd say that it's due to the Target's TC function, but I also tried it on my Invader Mini and the results were pretty much the same. I guess my only reason for responding to your post here is to say that if for whatever reason you are unimpressed with the Nickel coils, then I suggest giving the Kanthal coils a try. Those are the only cCells that I'm using for the time being... I can't wait for the stainless steel coils to come out, and I'm still crossing my fingers and hoping for titanium cCells. :)

We have sun today! YAY!!! :)

I ended up ordering one from Gearbest for under $32! I couldn't pass it up. Now I get to play the waiting game, lol. I will make up my mind about which wrap I want some time this week (it shouldn't be this hard, lol!) and then I can post pics of both of them when the white one comes in. I might even order some pink O rings and a couple of custom tips for them. I might as well girlie them up, right? :D

I have tried the cCells in my Atlantis tanks and my Heatvape Ecotank. I REALLY love the way they perform in the Ecotank! I am running low on new cCells at the moment and I still have quite a few Atlantis and Ecotank coils but once I have gone through my inventory I will replace them with cCells. I do have a few cCells that I have cleaned in my US cleaner and a denture tablet soak and they are good to go for another 10 tanks or so. I love that they can be cleaned and reused. It makes them last even longer!
