    So, for the ladies re: this "pouch" thing ...

    A double eyeglass case and lanyard from Vera Bradley would work nicely. I have several double eyeglass cases and popped my istick in there like it was made for it. Whip stitch the key ring on the lanyard to the top of the eyeglass case with some embroidery thread and BOOM! Stylish and functional.

    any pic of that....sounds interesting

    I know that it is Hard to Fathom with the Summer that we have had (still seem to have) in So-Cal.

    But Winter is Coming for Some People. And there are Places where if you leave a Bottle of Water in a Car for awhile, you will start to see Ice Crystal in it.

    dang, zoid. i never even thought about that.
    best to keep in pocket then.

    I'm having a difficult time keeping the honeymoon going with my iSticks. I've been using Naughty minis on them and just cannot keep juice out of my mouth (stop ... be nice gutter brains ... you know who you are ;)).

    I've done everything imaginable to the mini including buying the "T" tanks to use because I heard it didn't have the vacuum issues the standard tank does. (BTW, is does not have vacuum issues. Much easier to get open and still no leaks.) I've exchanged coils several times with BVCs I got from different vendors (all authentic), volts/watts up and down, tighten, loosen coils - mindful of gaskets, tighten, loosen tank, clean out post and drip tip ... ad nauseum. Both tanks on both iSticks spit constantly whether I'm vaping cooler or warmer. I've got a blister on my tongue where it got me yesterday. Now mind you these tanks do not spit like this on my EVOD vv batts or my MVP2. I just cannot figure it out.

    I have used the EVOD tanks with the 510 adapter on both iSticks and the problem is much decreased, but not entirely gone. I'm going through juice and coils like Sherman went through Atlanta so this is rediculous. I put the EVODS tanks back on the EVOD batts today just to get a break from the aggravation. Any thoughts?

    ETA: Air holes on both tanks wide open too. Closing them off any at all makes it even worse.

    I use aspire k1-glassomizer (bvc coils) it's a more slender look, looks like kanger pro 3, and i haven't had any issues since buying it like 3 weeks ago.
    Also using on istick my older Aspire bcd tanks with the bvc coils. No issues whatsoever.
    But that doesn't have anything to do with your istick. That's the tank that's causing you problems.
    Try a k1 glassomizer, nobody has them in stores yet, but they are on ebay.
    Good luck, sorry your having problems with gurgling and hot juice.
    p.s
    i opened up both airholes wider using simple kitchen knife and going round n round till i got them to size airhole i wanted.

    I was having a major gurgling/spitting issue with my naughty, on both my vv3 and iStick, but through trial and error discovered the right amount of tightening down the coil into the base unit. The issue for me was that it was flooding the base unit, which meant the coil couldn't absorb more juice, so it backed into the air tube. Between that and tightening the tank to barely finger-tight then backing it off 1/4 to 1/2 turn gurgle, spits and the vacuum issue are a thing of the past for me.

    But as said, I was having the problem on all my vv/vw devices, so don't know if this will help you.

    You can always just shake the tank till the juice in tube flys out. I've had to that once in awhile, but not often.

    As I said, not an issue anymore, but I prefer the twist a piece of paper towel into a point, thread it down the tube method. [emoji75]

    Can you post pics of both of those? Which aspire tank is it?

    I have to crank it up .1 or .2 volts and the battery life is shorter but you can certainly vape away at -14* :)



    A dripper works a lot better than a clearo at that temperature.:vapor:

    Cool.

    Hey BTW. What is all that White Stuff that is on the Ground and on the Trees?

    First full day off use. Not sure how everybody is getting such great battery life as reported but probably my vaping style. Took off the charger at 7:30am. On the weekends my mods never leave my side. Watts avg. probably around 12 and I take long draws mostly 8-10 sec. By 6:30 pm my battery was drained. On a normal workday this will be sufficient since I can't vape on the job but I'm either going to be using the pass thru or one of my mechanicals on the weekends in between charges.
    Ordering my wife one tomorrow and thought about getting me another but I'm curious to see what v2 will bring and whatever it is I'm sure it's not to far off.
    This is still the best $32 I've spent on any mod yet by far.

    Very interesting solution, much thanks. I've been having some flooding once in awhile with my naughty too, and I can never figure out what causes it. (edited - not appropriate) ...the damn thing shoots out and nearly gets me in the eye. I've troubleshooted out most of the other kinks that this finicky beauty has, and I will definitely give your suggestion a try.

    Quick question about the coil- are you making it tighter, to reduce flooding?

    I was pretty active on this thread until this weekend, but my istick and I had to best-man it for a wedding. It lasted me 2 days easy, what a champ. Anyway, what a difference 48 hours can make on this thread.

    I just had a thought; since at this point, I feel like the size of the thread is getting beyond the point of accessibility for newcomers. So, for those that are coming on here and simply trying to buy one, maybe we could start pricing/instock chain letter of sorts for various online dealers. I'm figuring this out on-the-fly so maybe it won't work, but here is my thought:

    Since I can vouch for-

    Indy Vapor (20W e-Leaf iStick Full Kit - Joyetech - eLeaf) $42.95 - Full Kit (VTFORUM coupon for 10% off) currently all colors except for Blue in stock.
    Avid Vapor (Eleaf iStick - Avid Vaper) $39.99 - Full Kit - currently out of stock in all colors

    So I post that.

    Then, I saw some people that have been talking about Eciggy....so if they wanted to add to it- they can just cut and add:

    Indy Vapor (20W e-Leaf iStick Full Kit - Joyetech - eLeaf) $42.95 - Full Kit (VTFORUM coupon for 10% off) currently all colors in stock, except for Blue.
    Avid Vapor (Eleaf iStick - Avid Vaper) $39.99 - Full Kit - currently out of stock in all colors
    Eciggity.com (Eleaf iStick 20W Battery - Eciggity) Unit only - currently all colors in stock, except for Pink.

    Before you know it, we'd have something comprehensive for buyers, and semi real time. And even for myself- I have my full kit version, but I want to get a second one....and don't really see a need to get another full kit, since I already have the cable; so it would be nice to keep something refreshed every few pages so if a cheap unit only version pops up, I could grab one.

    That's my thought anyway. Salemgold, I'm looking at you for the thumbs up- since you're about as active as anyone on this thread. Btw, I officially nominate you as thread ambassador. You're running a tight ship here and keeping the information checked and moving.
