Eleaf Istick

[redddog]

Well hump me in the .... and call me shorty.

I guess I have the only crappy istick/nautilus Mini on the planet.

Any good deals on istick this week? A buddy of mine wants one after using my backup one for a couple of days; and evape.us is out of stock

I ordered my first Istick last night. Got an email today saying it's been shipped.

I was planning to wait til the version 2 came out but there was a post in the Deals and Steals thread for one at $29.99 on ebay so I jumped on it. I see they upped the price to $34.99 now. They do have a Nautilus mini for $22.99 in the same listing so I might get one of those too.

I got mine on sale from rock bottom here. $33.95 + $2.50 flat rate shipping, had in in 2 days. Not shabby at all! Of course, transit wise it helps that I'm in the same state!

I bought the Vamo5 a month before the istick and loved it...until the istick came. My Vamo was in the rotation until I ordered more isticks! Now I have 4 isticks and the Vamo is in the drawer! I can't get over how nice these are. They give the same vape every time. Right down to no battery or no juice. And you can't beat the price.

I agree, and I have a V5 as well that will soon be up for sale. Another bonus I really like is the convenience of charging without having to deal with chargers and 18350s or 18650s.

Distribution would be my guess. Hard to say though.

Three brands share the same factory: Vapeonly, iSmoka and eLeaf. Same build quality.

A couple of people have posted on reddit that their credit card was compromised after making purchases at us.joyetech.com. One poster chased the issue very specifically down to us.joyetech.com. The issue doesn't seem to be at all widespread but it would probably be a good idea to check your credit card statement if you purchased your iStick through them.

I second the BVC coils. They last forever, taste amazing, and IMO, the mini naught is the perfect topper for this device.

Well, the BVC's are good to be sure but the 1.8 ohm-ers are still a little "spicy" for me even at 3 "iStick" volts.

I have one BVC going on 6 weeks now and it just won't die. The coil is so gunked up it reads 2.2 ohms and vapes perfectly at low power.

Glad it's not just me. My Vanilla Peppermint is just way to intense on the istick.

I got mine on e-bay for $34.99 shipped. seller is VAPENW Shipped from WA and delivered to GA in 2 days. Nice Mod and great price. My mini-nautilus has never tasted this good.

I purchased a Egrip from Joytech last week. I too had someone try and charge something on my card.

 

[gandymarsh]

Well, that was fast. I ordered my iStick on Monday from vapenw, got it today. A little disappointed that I didn't get a cable with it as advertised but no biggie.

I'm running a Protank 3 mini on it at 9w and it's working great. Still waiting for my mini Nautilus.

It's almost too small for my big hands.

Well...be glad you didn't choose to go with a $175 SvoeMesto Kayfun/$250 Prothingy!!!

Thanks for the link. I just ordered a second one, this one in blue because it looks cool. My first one is black for stealth purposes at work. These are great devices for the price!

So I take it that Rock Bottom is a good vendor to deal with? I am thinking about ordering two of these but since I have to ship this stuff outside the US it really helps to know that the product is as described and the vendor reliable.

 

[cafecraig]

No experience with Rock Bottom, but I ordered my istick also from vapenw, got it yesterday, and also had them add a nautilus mini, an eleaf ohm meter (my other one is a POS), and a lastly a pyrex tank for my regular nautilus. $75 w/free shipping.

Got it all together, been vaping it today. Have the nautilus mini 1.8ohm bvc with a 55/45 (approx) pg/vg juice blend, powered at 3.7v with the istick. It's not quite as vapor-producing as my KFL+ or Magma, but the flavor is good and the vapor is fine. Very lightweight setup, good for travel, which is what I wanted.

I do wonder what that wicking substance is made of, though (seen on Rip Tripper's youtube vid of the nautilus mini).

Will wait on the egrip to see how durable and maintainable that is, once the user reviews and experiences start coming in.

Don't know as the order I just placed is my first time dealing with them. Guess we'll find out.

 

[KTMRider]

I ordered mine from VapeNW too. Took about 3 days and they're selling it for $34.99 now (was $35.99 when I bought).

 

[er767]

I did also, ordered on Sunday night, and received yesterday. Great product and great shipping, they are on the west coast, and I'm in NJ

 

[Buster282]

hey Reddog I thought you said that you are using the old BDC coils? those are junk! the new BVC coils are great! give those a try.

 

[mikegun]

I just got an I Stick from a Wash company on E Bay for 29 bucks, I like it a lot better then my Hana box, much easier to hold and use...
