if the slippery-ness really bothers people (and i'm totally fine with it since the price is so low I consider it a beater), you can always go to home depot and get plastidip. Just make sure to tape off the front side with the buttons. Heck maybe i'll do it some time in the future just for fun

This is one of the problems that I see with our attitudes. The vaping community has been financially raped for many years now, ...

Have you actually ever been raped? Really bad choice of words and beyond insulting.

Well, a definition of rape being "to seize and take away by force", I imagine anyone who's been robbed can use the term. I especially don't see how the term "financially raped" can be a bad choice of words or insulting. It's just a commonly used term.

BNEAT, thanks for posting this. I want black on black so you nailed it for me. It doesn't appear quite as Frankensteinish as I thought it would. I'm in ! $71 for the pair of em. How are you liking this combination? I also thought of adding some thick non slip material to the outside of the stick so that it would take away the appearance of the Leamo's overhang.

Forgive me for this really stupid newbie question... but why is "running hot" a bad thing? I run anything between 1.5 and 2.2 and I was enjoying the fact that I can vape it at 4-6 watts and be satisfied. I was hating having to turn my Spinners all the way up all the time and draining the battery so fast. I thought the iStick was just being more efficient or something. Am I not preserving the battery by running it at a lower wattage?

The second one I got from VapeNW came with that adapter.

VapeNW on ebay is who sent me the wrong one, after leaving it out of the package with the original shipment then almost refusing to send it to me at all. I finally get it and it's the wrong adapter. I wanted to get the new adapter with the knurling to make it easier to use.

I'm going to pout for a while. :(

Yeah...I have a bad feeling about these guys. My 2nd one is on the way from them, but if you read their ebay history, it's full of a ton of bad reviews just in the last month.. A lot of people here have said that they've had a smooth experience from them, but my spidey senses tell me it's hit and miss. Too bad they are one of the few that have it in stock right now.

Dancing, I have no use for the adapter, since I only use nauty mini's. If you PM me your address, I'll mail you mine.

I think that I am going to stick with buying from vendors that I know to be top notch. It seems that Ebays protection policy does not amount to much from what I am hearing.

I do not blame you for pouting. I do hope that they make things right for you.

Two months from now Isticks will be had everywhere at 30 bucks or less. We have driven up the price with the hype. Vape outlet is now selling preorder for $30.80 and throwing in a charge cable for $1.19.
Probably because they are very close to being removed as a seller.

It is not a bad thing for everyone. Some people just prefer a cooler vape. Uisng lower ohms and higher voltage / wattage will give you a shorter charge time on your iStick because it will drain faster. But, that is not an issue if that is your prference.

Curious as to whether or not the iSticks that have been, umm "independently" erm.... pre-ordered by many here will be significantly different from those already in users hands.
Wondering if the units we are expecting the end of this month will come from existing stock or will have been manufactured with the experiences and opinions expressed on internet forums taken into account.

I have no reason to believe they will be any different.
I have one on pre order from VaporTekUSA, if there's any difference I'll post on here.

We will soon have our preorder from VT as well. A group of us placed one there. They have not had time to make any revisions on these yet IMO Plus, I do think that they will make it known when a new version is available.
