Cool.. Yours was Much Better than Mine. Mine had the Foam right on the Printing.

See the 7.77wh? That 7.77 Watt Hours. Which I believe Equates to 2,100 mAh.

OK... Now that you can See the Battery. Doesn't Your Battery look like these R18650D batteries? ...

I saw those. What I took away from them was that it was a 18650 battery and just ASSumed it was a LiIon battery.

Maybe they are Not Lipo's? I'm not exactly a Battery Expert.

BTW - The Battery in the istick I Gutted looked Exactly like these...

Same Size. Same Wrappers. Same Printing/Font. Everything was the Same. Except mine said 7.77wh.

And the ones in the Top Photo are Li-Ion Polymer batteries. Or at least, that is what the Description says.

For me the iStick is more pocketable than my Provari mini while still delivering a good vape.

Ain't it though? Plus triple the battery life. (And about 8 lbs. lighter).

the problem with not buying from the main distributors page is that those super low prices drive brick and mortar stores out of business...

If brick and morter stores didn't always mark up their products 150% I'd be more inclined to shop with them. I'm all for supporting local business, but my towns vape shop has obscene prices.

The boat!???? Heck, they didn't even get to the dock because of this Vavg design. lol
+1 on liking the "Leaf Volts" term

I just got my Istick last night and love the form factor and design layout but this "Leaf Volts" thing is crazy off the mark. At least with the unit I got the volt difference seems to be running much higher than just 1 volt. I knew about this issue so I made sure to set it as low as possible (3v) before I connected my D14 Genesis which I have coiled up @ 1.7 ohms and have used this same set-up for over a year on my Provari set at 4.4v. This little Istick toasted my coil to the wick instantly. After messing with my coil for about 30 minutes to no avail, I switched over to my KFL which has a 1.5 ohm coil which I have used for 9+ months with this set-up and have always run it on my Provari at about 4.2v. It's usable for right now but I have to take short hits to prevent the cotton from frying. I'll be making new higher ohm coils tonight for both the D14 Genny as well as my KFL so I can at least use and hopefully enjoy this little Istick. But damn... What were they thinking? Everything else about this device is nearly perfect and they really nailed it with this thing but they have got to correct this major screw-up. And yes, this is a major screw-up IMHO.

I'm hoping that my mini naughty with 1.8 BVC's shows up in the mail soon. It sounds like folks have had good luck with this combination. Small, leak proof and long bat life is what my ultimate goal is. I hope this set-up fills this need.
Come on USPS.

I can vape a 1.1 ohm coil on my Kayfun at 20 watts and have never had a coil break or cotton incinerate. Sounds like you may be having a build issue.

Agreed, I can put anything I have on the Istick built @ 1ohm, with cotton and have no issues at all anywhere within its power range. I normally build most of my RBAs about .8, but have been rebuilding now slightly over 1 ohm so they'll fire on the Istick, and have yet to run into any issues.

About the only thing I've had any issues with on the Istick is some 1.6 ohm BVC coils in the Nautilus when I use high VG juice they don't wick well enough if I go over 10 watts. Even the 1.6 ohm Boge cartos have no issues @12 watts.


Here are some shots of the 510 connector of the Istick dissected, not the greatest quality here, I believe the spring loaded Fatdaddy 510 would fit in its place (pictured), would sure make for a much better connection. The small rubber insulator is pretty fragile, just pulling it apart left it somewhat less than whole. Thinking this is what is the issue, and will probably be an issue for many in the future.

Fully charged, 90 minutes later.

Can I ask what amp charger you used? Using the stock 1 amp charger, mine took well over 2 hours to full charge from 1 bar, no lock.

Just curious.

For what it's worth:

(and from another thread)

Just a little tip for all you "Stickers" out there. Since the Istick uses "AVG" to determine its operating level, add ten percent, 10%, to the displayed number to arrive at about what it would be on other devices that run "RMS". For example an 8 watt reading translates to about 8.8 watts on a VTR as an example. The actual factor is 1.111 times.

awsum awesome.

 

[Ren76]

Mine yesterday was about 90 minutes + from the lock to fully charged. I used a 2.1 charger cause it's what I have.

CC...are those 510 threads actually built into/part of the 'sticks cap?

 

[Waterdog]

I was really wishing that the next version moved the 510 more towards the center of the device. Looking at the picture unless they make it a touch longer it does not look like it can be moved. Rather have it 1/4 inch longer and not have anything over a mini have to go past the edge.

From what I have seen if you are running say 4v and it is putting out 4.7v is that not 2.8 watts or so higher then other rms devices?

 

[R1Barlow]

All I know is that since I switched to a lower voltage/watts, my Nautilus coils are lasting longer than they did at higher watts. .4.7 watts at 3 volts and they are fine.

 

[K-Space]

placed an order for my 2nd stick in silver. will this make my 1st stick obsolete?

Yes the 510 is molded into the cap.

 

[R1Barlow]

I thought the cap had ego threads. I need an adapter and was told to get a 510 to ego thread. Is this not correct?

That is correct.
