Perhaps. But if this was an Apple iStick, it would have built-in Wifi, BT, upload our vaping habits to iCloud (and Apple) and cost $199.99. Apple IS a good model for how to handle manufacturing in China, however...

I'd be MUCH MORE Worried about what you are going to be able to Buy to put in what goes On your iStick than Any piece of e-Cigarette Hardware.
But that is More Something for Another Thread.
Yes but Apple also manufactures its own Chinese workers with upgradable software [emoji6]

I really thought it was a no-brainer that I was directing this to those who have had issues with wobbly connections. Guess not.
Oh please. They'll market 2 yr old technology and tell YOU what you want and how you want it. Only the iTank will work on it and will have a proprietary charging cord. And charge $199.99.
But that's my point exactly. We shouldn't have to pay $100 for a mod that does what it says it does. I paid $50 for my VTR and it does what Innokin says it does. I paid $29.99 for my VAMO v3, that out performs the iStick in almost every way and does what KSD says it will do. I paid $27 for the parts in my VAMO v5 box mod. It's the form factor of the iStick that makes it brilliant. I don't think it's too much to ask that the electronics in the iStick be at least as good as lesser expensive mods...
I think that is Kind Hyperbolic. And Not in a Geometric Way. LOL
Look, Here's the Deal.
As of Today, the e-Cigarette Market is a Completely Free and Unregulated Market. And Caveat Emptor applies in the Truest Sense.
I knew when I bought a Brand New Design that was Completely Un-Reviewed that I could get something that Didn't live up to my Expectations. But the Cost verses the Risk was worth it to Me. And I am Very Glad that It Did.
For Anyone having Problems with their iStick not Hitting the Way you Want it to, or for Anyone who Can't find Higher Ohms for what they want to use on it, I'm feel Bad For you. I Really Do.
But if a Person Rushes Out and Buys Something like this without Waiting for Lots of Reviews to Come it, well, it is what it is.
And I don't see it as Being "financially raped".
I think we should all take a deep breath, wait for Phil's review, then point fingers later. The only thing we know so far with all this speculation, is that it hits hotter for some than others, and just like golf, you either hate it or love it. I like what it does for me, and I have a third one on the way.
Happy vaping!!

If my interpretation of this thread is accurate, at least two-thirds of posters have shared that their iSticks hit much harder at a given voltage than their other mods. A far majority have simply been able to back off the power and find their sweet spot. The iStick's form factor, along with it's price is what is making everyone, including myself, giddy. Does that mean we shouldn't expect it to perform to its own specs? Do we really want to give Eleaf a pass for making a beautifully conceived yet half-baked APV?
If you have a problem with a product, let the manufacturer know about it. All you can do in here is whine and rehash the same stuff over and over, where's that dead horse emoticon when I need it? By my being thru this thread since it began, I'd hazard a guess that we have about 5% of the people posting/complaining about how they don't have a $200 quality mod from a $40 newly introduced mod. So sad.....the glass really is half full
YOU are the one coming off as "half-baked"
Just to break up this party. I'm looking at my istick and thinking ; someone ( in china) took a power bank and added a circuit board , I think these will replace the ego's etc and get cheaper by the month , ........not saying its not my mod of choice at the moment
. I'm looking at my istick and thinking ; someone ( in china) took a power bank and added a circuit board , I think these will replace the ego's etc and get cheaper by the month , ........not saying its not my mod of choice at the momentI don't think anyone is giving anyone a free pass for anything. Sure, I'd like everything I buy to perform to its advertised specs, but not all of them do. That's life. I'm not disagreeing with you either. But as I said earlier today, if I had know my Toyota would only get 23 miles per gallon as opposed to the 26 they advertised, would I still have bought it? Of course I would have. This is a Chinese made electronic device and I knew going into this I could be dissatisfied. I wasn't. We are consumers, and there are laws in place to protect us as consumers. So if anyone feels they've been misled, lied to, cheated, or financially raped, feel free to band together and file a civil suit.
I can only speak for myself, but this little dude works for me and I'm pleased as punch Eleaf has brought it to the market to enjoy. [emoji4]

An easy way (for me) to prime a carto:
Insert a new carto into your tank and fill the tank using whatever method you prefer and then pop the tank into a ziplock, leaving one edge open. Blow into the baggie like you were inflating a balloon and then seal it completely.
Squeeze the baggie repeatedly being careful not to pop the seal. The changes in air pressure will force juice to saturate your carto.
Keep doing it until you either don't see any more bubbles or the polyfill looks wet or a drop or 2 comes out the 510 connector..
Simply remove the tank, top it off and you are ready to go!
You otta' also consider using a refilling tool (when just refilling the tank). It makes refilling the tank easy, keeps joose out of your carto (so as not to flood it) and protects your O-rings.
Here's a demonstration of the "Slap Yo Mama":

However you can find refilling tools much cheaper at many sites (than the Slap Yo Mama)...for example:

Crap! I guess I am screwed until next week. I will ask ebay to give me a refund. Stall tactics. He must print a label but never deliver the item to uspo. Probable waiting until everyone pays and then ordering with our money. We will probably get it next week. 
vapenw has them in stock and several people have bought from there. I ordered one last nite
Rimp......I grabbed a Kanger Aerotank at VapeXpo...ordered some more coils for it (both the rebuildable and sealed so will let you know once I've tried both) also grabbed a couple of colored glass tanks for backup blue and purple...they are pretty. Now I've just finally come to realize there is a V2 of the Aerotank...have you tried both and is the newer airflow bottom really much different?
