Without any info on what you have been liking it is Impossible to help you. What type of device? Do you turn your spinner all the way up, down or somewhere in the middle? Do you like these toppers on a mechanism only when the battery has just been charged or mostly much later?

Can you tell me if I'd like raw jallapinos?

If you like any of the coils you listed at 4 volts, you will love the I stick at 3 volts. If you like the coils you listed at 5 volts, you might have to turn the I stick down to 4.8 or 4.9.

I don't understand my PT 2's work and use the same kanger coils. True I rebuild coils but the factory ones are working just fine.

VG/PG ratios play a role, as well as draw technique as described by another answer to your post. I vape 50/50, so if you use more PG than I do, that would wick better.

You had me up until this last point my canine friend. :)

All of *my* stuff just doesn't. Namely, the Aspire Nautilus BVC's because they only go up to 1.8 ohms. Just a tad too hot for 3 "Eleaf" volts. (Fine on anything else at 3.3 or thereabouts). That's a shame too because the Nautilus is a lazy man's dream. For now though, I'll just have to muster up enough strength to wrap a Kayfun coil every month or so. Maybe I can teach the annoying neighbor kid to do 'em at a nickel a pop.

That's what I'm running on my two little iSticks. Aspire Nautilus Mini's with 1.8 ohm BVC's. I'm running at 5 volts no problem. Haven't gotten a burnt or bad hit yet.

Mmmm.... We'll need a 20 W capable resistor (which usually comes as ceramic one and it is not tiny enough). Welll actually, not so big, but you know, the safety margins.....:)

And the heat would be dissipated not only in the atty, but on the resistor, INSIDE the iStick......even if it had plenty of room there, which it hasn't...


Sorry, we cannot do that, it is not a good idea.

Another thing is to change the way of controlling things by the chip, a slight change. If it is possible, and if it has a way to do that. On paper, it is as simple as to change the voltage used to calculate power from the one now used (average) to a new one calculated as the squared root of the product of the voltage measurement and the peak voltage. Because that's precisely the RMS voltage.....

But I lack of any expertise in re-programming chip modules (the so-called firmware) and after all it is a propietary design...who knows about its guts? Me not, ........:?:

Any rocket engineer happens to be lost here? It is just a chip!.......:laugh:

I see.....Thanks

OFF TOPIC:

Just a Heads Up. DON'T Buy one of these thinking it will Output down to 3W. It Doesn't. The Lowest it will go is 7W.

Wait until you get a load of the DNA 40: EVERYTHING up to this point will be obsolete after you get used to that technology.
Evolve better take their namesake to heart. Having an SX-350 based box now, and knowing how well it works this will probably be the next level! :vapor:

Well have to disagree somewhat on the mean output, Looking at your join date Spaceballsrules that is what we were used to up till last year when we changed the yardstick for how we measured the device. If you remember the days of the Riva and Ego debate where the Riva had a higher output than the ego on the same voltage. This debate isn't new in any form or fashion, Yes the device has flaws that need to be addressed. Will it at this time who knows. and the review stated that the data that is was providing was accurate just not in what we are used to measuring anymore due to outdated tech. As far as the joytech answer was correct if the measurements was in Vavg, I don't think anybody asked that question in detail. Which being only a year out of date is hardly archaic. I would suggest low wattage and low voltage vapors wait till a version 2 is released or look elsewhere for your vapor needs. I like the device even with the flaws in it. I guess in the same way my wife loves me with my many flaws and imperfections. I seriously hope she is not waiting for version 2 of me to be released.

Hehehe... Not the same voltage, though. Scottbee (remember him? :)) first discovered that eGos, even though they were rated at 3.7v, were actually 3.2v regulated devices. Riva was the first eGo-class battery that was unregulated (4.2v briefly fresh off the charger, then 3.7v until the cutoff at 3.1v or so). Oh, the good old days...

That was an epic thread:

Has anyone tried to put an o-ring or something to hold the center post up a bit?

Several of my Protanks do not make contact, and it's a pain to constantly fiddle with the pin on the Protank.

After having so many issues with the firing pin on my MVP, I've decided to keep the ego/510 adapter on my iStick at all times. It doesn't add significant height to it, and it protects the firing pin from the wear it gets from me constantly switching tanks. I have all 510 bases because I added air flow valves to all of my protanks including my minis. I refuse to ruin another firing pin.

And there it is in a nutshell, the saga of the iStick.

I love my mini naughty on the stick, running the aspire bvc 1.8 coil heads. I hit it at 7.5 to 8.5 watts. (again, I'm coming off top coil clearos that I'm used to a warmer vape with flavor from Halo Triton)

So, it does depend on the juice, the vaping style and personal taste. Same atty, same device, same settings, and why not, even the same juice, and it will be just right for some, and too hot for others.

One size does not fit all!
