Eleaf Istick vs Hana Modz mini

[Rondo9]

Help me decide.

Price: similar (about 40 to 50 bucks)

Size: similar

Battery: istick has 2600 mah vs 1500 mah

Look: i havent seen the istick in person. Seen the regular hana modz version and it looks nice. nautilus mini fits nicely on it. On the other hand nautilus mini does not fit 100 percent smoothly on the istick.

Button feel: again not sure about the istick. Reading the plus and minus buttons can be accidentally pressed during holding/pressing the firing button.

Anyone have both to elaborate further?

that eleaf isn't really made for 22mm devices. has a really bad over-hang

Only in the front . For $32 I will live with it . I think my Rose atty is bigger than the mod though, lol!

iStick is 2200mah, not 2600mah.

Also, where did you find a Hana Mini that's around $50? I've only seen clones around that price range?

Your right. It is a clone. My bad. It has no safety features listed on the description either which im not a fan off.

Its too bad they havent been able to make a ego type spinner battery less tha 100mm in length that is 2000mah and vv capable

I would take a Hana mini clone for sure , snap in/ out replaceable LiPo pack , very different customer base , ones disposable ones not.

I'd go with a Hana due to the box, It's an easy box to work in and upgrade with easily available parts if I wanted to. If you're not thinking DIY down the road then research and go with which you like best. There's a long Isick thread active as well as plenty of info on the hana clones floating around.

I see, got me wondering for a min there.

If you are cool with a $35 disposable mod, iStick wins; if you want the ability to just replace batteries, Hana mini is a good choice to go. For me, if the iStick lasts 3 months (13 weeks), that's about $3 a week, combined with juice and replacement BVC coil costs, the total is about $8-10 per week, and I can live with that so I'm happy.

does the Hana Modz mini clone have safety features like overcharge protection?? Doesn't usb charge batteries have this feature already?

In the future, is the changing the battery difficult? i keep reading people soldering etc.

iStick has a 2100 mAh battery, they advertise it as 2200mAh

I have a regular size hana v3 and an iStick. The iStick is tiny. Initially I really liked it, it fits in a pocket so easily, even with a Russian or Kayfun on top. But it's just too small for me. My wife loves hers.

Guys thanks for your feedback. I ordered the Hana Modz v3 30 without battery (bc with battery it took take a lifetime to get a product shipped) grey color, from Fasttech with 2 dollar express ship option.

I think the eleaf istick is good, but i'm not a fan of the nautilis mini "overhang" on it. Some don't care but i know it will bother me.

Going back to this topic, I was thinking about getting the mini 20 version but with the potential shipping issue/delay, built in/fixed battery i think i made the best choice getting the 30. Not much bigger actually

I think you'll be happy with the purchase. Let us know how it works out.

Everybody is different and if your happy with a device that last only three months more power to you , when i spend $40.00 i expect a lot longer lifespan than that and am currently getting it with my MVP's (knock wood).

I don't need the extra 10 watts which is good , right now my MVP's are about 8+ months old and still work like the day i bought them, very pleased and they get used all day every day.

As long as you chose USPS you will get it relatively quick , i am thinking of picking up the 30 watt mini as the 20 watt is a couple bucks cheaper.

is there such a thing as the 30 W mini? honestly they are all kind of mini. 20 Watt mini i hear by some is too small and awkward to fire in some ppls hand.

get the non battery version (18650). I just ordered a separately the efest 2100 mah 30A battery (really a VTC4) from a online shop in NA for 10 bucks.

FT already emailed me today that it was shipped even though on the website it states it will take 7 days to ship. Im thinking by the end of this month i can get this .

I'm excited. First non ego battery. Honestly the weakening of the power, and charging almost on a daily basis has been a pain. The Nautilus mini bvc is battery hungry

Pretty sure there is a 30 watt mini but it comes with the LiPo packs and i believe is the most expensive one FT sells $ 62.00 or around there. Most i know who have the mini really like it but i think you made a great choice as well .

If your only used to an Ego prepare to be blown away , no comparison . The BVC head's on the Nautilus shouldn't wear out your Ego battery any quicker than other clearo's/tanks etc....

With the DNA you want to up the wattage a bit with the BVC head's , they can definitely handle it , i find 14 watts ideal with BVC head's and the Nautilus . If you use Pro Tanks etc you will still be running on the low side because they don't like higher watts in my experience (Pro Tank I and Pro Tank II ) .

Oh, with me FT takes about 12 days with USPS first class , with the slow boat it could be months.

I just ordered an iStick from avidvapers.com. I thought $39.99 plus shipping was fair so I pulled the trigger. Also got a Big Dripper Clone off of ebay last night. I cant wait to put the BD on the iStick. Its probably going to double the size of the iStick! I usually dont trust the lower end stuff but the iStick is getting great reviews for what it is. Guess its just 2 less bottles of Nicoticket that I would have bought with the same money. The initial builds of the Hana Clones scared me enough to just pass on em all together. The DNA clone boards leave alot to safety out. Not a good thing.
