Day three with my istick paired with a silo tank. Love it. Trying hard to hold off on getting a second til the v2 comes out. This thing may not be perfect but who would expect that at 35 bones. For what it is, it is perfect!

I actually think that the factory heads are a little better. I'm pleased as punch with the consistency, flavor, and wicking.
The aspire coils last long enough for me that I don't mind spending a couple of bucks to change em out when needed.
So I was getting greedy and went to clean the mini 3. Ended up cleaning it to hard and pulled the coil apart. [emoji85]. It's toast!

Hmmm... Looks like I'm in the market for an Aspire BVC tank. The Nautiluses are the only ones with AFC, correct?
Thespis ....
Well, I have not read every post in this very long thread ... All I am saying is that any variable volt / watt battery should be able to not only increase voltage above what it's internal battery is charged at, but also decrease voltage too, if needed.
Some folks here use a fairly low ohm coil that requires a lower input voltage than a higher ohm coil in order to operate at the same watts of power ... but for some reason, the company that makes the iStick just don't make it possible to decrease voltage below what it's internal battery is actually charged at.
Just don't make much sense to me ..... Maybe you understand this much better than I do ?
All I am asking is for a regulated mod that is capable of not only increasing voltage (above it's internal battery voltage), but also decreasing voltage if so required by the user.
Is that asking too much?

Even my cheap iTaste MVP 2 is capable of doing that ... and does it pretty well

The iSticks pros FAR outweigh the cons. Their are plenty of other devices that step down out there if you so choose, and they are also a lot more expensive.
For 35 bucks, and for what this tiny little beast does, I don't think their is much room to disprove of it.
At least it is not underpowered, than we would never hear the end of it.
My MVP2 is retired as it couldn't push anything I had near a satisfying vape. Even a 1.8 bvc head on the Nautilus was weak on it at "11" watts. Felt more like 5.
Ebay has a few for $6.49 shipped.
The DNA 20 and 30 doesn't regulate down either. The DNA 40 does. Just pick one of those up. They start at $190.
Hey Flt Simulation. If you go back a few hundred pages, you'll see I was accused of beating the same dead horse. If you cared to read the thread, you'd learn that the iStick DOES regulate below native battery voltage. The WAY it regulates, however, prevents it from firing below an effective 4.2V. Read the thread or watch Phil Busardo's video. All is explained.
While, academically, many agree with you 100%, it appears that most are immensely enjoying the iStick with all of its engineering flaws. Look at the iStick as a smaller, much cheaper VaporShark DNA 20 that lasts an entire day on a single charge. Because that's about what it is. And I, for one, am loving it...
Cheers!
True, but they state so clearly on their specs sheet. So people who buy them know (or, at least should know) what to expect from the device they are buying.

OTOH, Joyetech released a video, 2 weeks ago or so, of some guy with a multimeter insisting that iStick's 3 volts is indeed 3 volts. That was truly embarrassing.
That's why I have a problem with Eleaf iStick--that they are trying to deceive people, not that their device doesn't down-regulate. Just tell me the truth.
BTW, Joyetech (and Janty) also insisted for years that eGo batteries output 3.7v. It was Scottbee who finally put the eGo (and the 510 batteries) on the scope and proved what we all had suspected for years--that eGo batteries are regulated at 3.2 or 3.3v and were never capable of outputting 3.7v under load. It still took Janty (and Joyetech) years to finally officially admit it and correct their specifications.

Katya, I think your point is what bothers me the most. We're not talking about a $10,000 used car that I'd HAVE to test drive first. The iStick is what it is and, fortunately, I'm enjoying it. I should, however, be able to purchase a $35 device based on published specs and have a reasonable idea of what I am getting. I shouldn't have to wait for vaping gurus to review the product and confirm the manufacturer is telling me the truth. The video you speak of, where the poor intern is hung out to dry, is sad indeed. The fact that Eleaf/Joyetech have yet to even acknowledge the discrepancy leaves me with little faith in either company. I will think hard before I purchase another product from them. But, for $35, it's the bangin' schnizzle! I guess when money talks, principles fly out the window...
Amen.
Just tell me that it's a "DNA-style"
device with following specs. Period. Besides, it's so stooooooopid...
That estimated shipping date..... does that fall on a Monday?
They are out of red iSticks. I know. I looked last night. Rock Bottom is out too. I'm sure you'll get your stick soon!
Just don't tell Kat that I've been looking--I don't want her to know.
Peer pressure...
Your secret is safe, oh masked tweet one.

Whew! Thank you, Kat, darling.
I'm trying to be discreet...
What?
Hiya Kent!
Hi
... just saying...'Insisted' connotes 'demanded forcefully' etc. I don't think Joyetech 'responded' at all, let alone insisting, at the time. IOW, I don't think there's a 'pattern' here.
