Damn Girl that is a Good Price on the iStick 100 TC! I did not see that Special? And I check Gear Best pretty Regularly!

Don't forget to Post those Pics with the New Wrap! Make Em Yours!

There was a Place that had the cCells for $9.99 a Set Best Price I've seen so far but keep looking! Were did you get your Stainless cCells from?

The way these cCell Ceramic coils Last you don't need many to have a Life Time supply!

Skully {:{}

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!

Hey KelogGes: Good for You Brother! I know You have been waiting a long time to try em! Did you get the Kanthal too? You may want to Compare them especially on the iStick 40!

I Personally have found some issues with the Nickel with My High VG Premium eLiquid when using on the iStick 40 TC. My experience has been I have had to Run Super High Temps to get Proper Function & Vape. Not just with the cCell but with other TC Coils too! I'm not sure if the electronics in the 40 can really handle it. I have No Problems in other TC Mods like the iStick 100 TC. The cCell Kanthal work just Fine for me on the iStick 40 TC in Wattage Mode! Just My 13 cents worth! Your experience may be completely different!

You'll like those Triton V1's Good Quality Tanks! Top Fill! Well Armored Too! I picked up another 4!

Good Luck Friend!

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. :)


Kaezziel howdy!
you might be right, I dont know yet?

My interest is running my iStick 40 W in TC mode with sintered ceramic cCells so I need to use nickel !

I do not care about clouds of vapor, I am interested in using low power/temperature and getting superior taste in TC MODE; therefor Kanthal coils are not appropriate at this time

Only got the cCell NI200 .2 ohm last Friday

The 40W iStick TC control circitry could be better, but for its low cost it does work ok I think.

I run my power settings intentionally fairly low, keep that in mind. I like the 40 W small size!!!

I LIKE my nauti minis I cant wait until they make cCells ceramics for the Nauti and Triton MINI'S !!!

I am only using 50/50 % vg/pg, I think your high VG might be why you might not be getting better results with TC and Nickel ???

FYI I received a bad Triton ver one today in the mail and am bummed out with another delay to test. grrrrrrrr

FYI seems like all the good places with good prices are out of stock on Tritons ver one grrr; probably due to dumping them cheap to not get stuck with them in favor to Triton 2 ver II

Hey KelogGes: It probably has something to do with the High VG! Don't get me wrong I Love My iStick 40's they just aren't working the best for me in TC Mode! Most My Mods in TC I run 375 to 450 degrees. With my iStick 40's I have to Run near 600 degrees to get almost the same results??? Wattage wise I'm in the 25 to 35 Watts Range Depending on the eLiquid.

That's a Real Bummer about the bad Triton 1 what the heck is wrong with it? They will replace it Right?

I'm good on Triton 1 Tanks for now. I like em better then the V2 a little more Narrow Drip Tip and the Armored Tank! And Top Fill is a No Brainer! The Smaller Drip Tip I like on the Original Atlantis Tanks over the II's as well!

I've got a couple Nautilus Tanks, I like them as well but they are Limited by their smaller coils but for what they are they do work pretty good!

Hey Jingles: The Atlantis style cCell will work on the Triton II's. The Triton Mini a Different story! I'm on 6 weeks with 8 Tanks Running the cCells in Heavy Daily use both the .2 Nickel and .9 Kanthal I have Nothing Bad to say about them!

Some Folks that are Big on Clouds say they are Restrictive I don't find that and if I feel like it I can Blow some Pretty Big Clouds with em. But for Everyday Vaping they are doing Great!

I Really Like em in the Aspire Atlantis Mega Tanks on the iStick 100 TC and the Wismec RX200! Though I am running them in the Triton 1 and Atlantis 1 Tanks Too!

Skully {:{}


Will the cCells work in the Triton 2? I don't have a Triton 1, but I do have a Triton 2. Very curious about these cCells. I love long lasting, good tasting coils!

Thanks Skullman. I have an Atlantis tank that I'm not really using. Maybe a cCell coil would put it back in my rotation?!? I do like the top fill on my Triton 2 though. I've been waiting on Sweet Vapes to get the new GS Air tanks in, so I could order everything at once and save on shipping costs.May have to order the cCell coils this week anyways. I can't wait forever on those tanks! (I know the cCell coils won't work in the GS Airs).

No problem. It seems that you and I may have different vaping styles. I had the nickel coil dialed all the way up to 600 and still wasn't happy with it. I am interested to see how it works for you on the iStick 40, so I'll keep poppin' in to follow that... who knows, I might even decide to give 'em another shot. ;)

The Triton 1 I last received was a clone; when I first disassembled it after opening the box I saw a very thin strand of wire end sticking out of one of the inner holes in the barrel chamber and thought what the F is this doing here??? Got some special needle pliers I have and gently pulled this wire out; it turned out to be a coiled spring wire probably for tensioning one of the air adjustments is my guess and not installed correctly or was broken at the factory ? I refused the shipment sent it back!!!

I have another Triton 1 I ordered next coming on Friday this one is authentic aspire; is not a clone pos!

FYI It is kind of difficult to find quality and genuine and not sold out now due to dumping sales of Triton 1s to make way for redesign Triton 2 ver 2!

With my TC nauti MINI aspire NI 0.2 ohm coils on the 40 W iSick I run them usually about 350-375 degrees F with 50/50 pg/vg and I am fine with that; however I have cranked it up to 500 F a few times but have no interest in blowing clouds and and juice. Normally in TC mode I am set on 40 watts

I have no idea what the NI TC cCells
temp or wattts I will use until i finally get to try one on I hope Friday ???

Was a little surprised you find need to go to 600 with the cCells, but I believe you and font know yet until I get to finally try one.

Can't wait for Friday to come to finally try a cCell

Sorry for barging in ,just wanted to know, how are your isticks holding up. Especially 30w version. I can get that or 40wTC version rather cheap (around 9-10 USD total with shipping due to coupon) . I prefer 30w due to smaller size and weight, and surely won't use TC yet.
I am looking for a light mod (had wismec presa and it was way too heavy for my usage, sold it a day later) so I think 30w fits the best.
So, long story short, it should last me half a year at least right ?
