The 'Burgh, PA.

Looks like it went (back) to $26.

I have a $16 Anker that I LOVE (and it fits my vaping needs perfectly):

Amazon.com: Anker® 25W 5-Port Desktop USB Charger with PowerIQ™ Technology for Smartphones, Tablets and Many Other Devices (White): Cell Phones & Accessories

Looks nice, but I'm a little uneasy with the 2.1 amp output rating. Not that I'm an expert, but shouldn't it be a match for the device?? :unsure:

The charger does not push the current...the device draws the current it requires.

Salem do you remember where you ordered the shorty 510 to 510 adapters ?

I got a bunch from Madavpes. They are less than $2 each and they have a sale right now.

Be sure to get the sealed if you want pritection from leaks.

V2 510 Shorty Extension Sealed

Stew, I know how you are and I do not think that the shorty will bug you too much. I will try and take a pic tomorrow and post it or send it to you.

I'm using an Aerotank but......I always put a 510 to 510 shorty connector in all my mods so I don't mess up the threads:) No probs with mine:)

an adapter like this one?

Just like the short one on the left in that pic:)

Perhaps you should consider instead this one:

Tank Airflow Controller

I've got the 19 mm in diameter, it overhangs just a little, but has better looks and can protect the threads and control the airflow.... well, at least that was the second intended purpose. With some atty's it works in that way, with others doesn't.

With eGo threaded atty's you'll still need an 510-eGo adaptor, and this ruins the AFC function... As a matter of fact, I had to open wider bores for my mini Protanks 3 (up to 1 mm), discovering in the process some brass where I did expect stainless steel....


Nobody's perfect.....


Here you have some pictures with some of my daily running atomizers....

Did you say something about a KFL too big?.....:laugh:

The last one is a Fogger v3, 23 mm diameter, so you can figure out how much would it sing if you dare to top your iStick with that big RBA that you're hefting....:)

I can tell you the Fogger turns our iStick in a heavy nosed thing, but it is still bearable, because you can put your finger on the protuding overhang to get a really goog grip of everything (an it serves as defensive weapon....:facepalm:)

I use a '100 Pipers' whiskey flask pouch as friendly bag for the iStick and its atomizers.... Funny to see how people gets embarrashed when I lift up my "booze" pouch.....but not to drink.....

Ok this form factor is just too good for me and the stealth vaping. I ordered a second in blue.

Shorter than a bic lighter and barely any heavier. Constant use ALL day long, about 3.5ml chugged and no sign of the battery wanting to quit.

Even if I only get 6-9 months of longevity out of this think, it will be worth it imo.

Edit : Some reason image came out tiny, click it for better view...:p

6 ports. Anybody know anything about this one? It's got good reviews.

Just got my iStick today and ready for initial thoughts. First thing I did was charge it all the way until it turned off, I knew the battery was at 4.2 volts.

I set the voltage to 3.8, just like I've been doing on my MVP for 2 months with OHM meter reading 2.3. By the third hit I tasted the burn. People are right, this thing runs hot and the voltage is incorrect. I did it with my other tank as well which has been at 2.5 most most of the day. 3.8 volts and it's burning by the third hit.

I lowered the voltage and it seems to be working okay. Based on the seller's return policy, it wont be worth paying return shipping and taking a 20% restocking fee. It's a really nice form factor with a trigger fire button. The voltage doesn't lock in place though, so if you hit the up or down button it will get adjusted. I'll make use out of it. Hopefully they fix the voltage on a version 2, because I'll be first in line to get that one.

Many great suggestions thus far for the pin "prob" on the 'Stick. I haven't yet experienced that, but in order to preserve the threads a bit, I thought why not use a 510 sealed adapter?



Now, let's top that with a tank, shalst we? ;)



Oh NO! The dreaded gaposis!





Time for a fix..... ;)



(hey, if ya can't beat 'em,,, bling 'em!)



What tank is that on the pink one?

A Nautilus (regular) with a hollowed sleeve.

Actually Vape Outlet swore they mailed it Thursday and promised if there was no tracking info by Saturday the would send another one first thing this morning.. On Saturday USPS showed " Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USP" but no package. Today, instead of sending another as promised, they were going to file a claim with USPS for a lost package. I responded that one can't file a claim with USPS on a package they never received and that their issue wasn't with USPS. Then i requested a refund.

Yep, they finally replied to my last message. They told me it has shipped, but if I don't receive tracking info by Wednesday to let them know and they will file a claim with USPS. ??? Sounds fishy to me

I look forward to hearing back on how this works if you give it a try. My Protank3 is working fine with a 1.5Ω coil. I want to try higher Ω coils but the tank is just too small for my vaping enjoyment so I am looking at going to a different tank. The Protank3 connects fine with the eGO adapter so far.

I fixed my issue, so i won't be grabbing one just yet.
I suggested the silo cause
a. looks alot better then the nauts
b. only 15 bucks
c. comes with metal shield protector without phallic symbol.
d. uses the aspire (non-naut) bvc coils !

Win win ! i will probably grab one soon, but just ordered $100 bucks worth of diy stuff, may have to wait 2 weeks.

it does look good tho right?

A couple suggestions for the users with connector problems on the iStick (or any 510 mod)

Carefully lift the center pin with a jewlers screwdriver or dental pick. Then take a piece of dental floss and wrap is around the underside of the pin once or twice, tie it off with a surgeon's knot for no slippage. It will keep the pin elevated if your topper isn't screwed in too tight again.

Otherwise you can simply use a 510-510 or 510-eGo adapter. Prior to use take a pair of tweezers and push on the adapter's center pin from both sides. Be sure it moves fairly easily, it's supposed to be a floating pin. Then push the pin from the top so the pin extends past the bottom of the adapter, thread it on to your mod until snug. This will ensure the pin is hitting the mod's pin and attach your topper just until contact is made, presto vapor.

With the iStick you can press the fire button to wake up the display, it will show 0.0Ω. The gently screw in your topper, as soon as contact is made the display will change showing the coil resistance.

Nice trick.
I will have to brush up on my dental floss Surgical knots tho.
(been awhile).
hehe.
