Yeppers, and ..... at first, I was like "HUH?". Then I realized it really does make sense.

In my thought process about using adaptOrs (Eleaf spelling), I thought, hmmmm.... why not use an adapter AND get air flow control at the same time. :) (particularly with non-Naughty tanks)

So the clearomizer flips upside down? Next to iStick body? Side-by-side???


Fuchsia................ :D

SHE has always been on vodka. (That doesn't sound right, does it? :)) Actually, SHE's using Russian spirits distilled from grain--96% Alc/Vol, 192 proof. Highly flammable. :evil:

But SHE's of the opinion that, in a pinch, one can safely use Isopropyl alcohol (91 or 99%) to clean atomizer coils--provided that one rinses said coils THOROUGHLY under running water afterwards to remove any remaining traces of Isopropyl.

SHE also likes denture cleaning tablets (unflavored) for cleaning coils. :D

Yep. That's closer to what I recall. I recall that SHE asked me if there were any Russian ethnic markets here which made me chuckle. I asked HER whether you can actually drink that Russian grain alcohol stuff and SHE said that it was meant to be mixed with other stuff and was not used to get drunk directly. (Which at such concentration would have done ME in pronto.) HE said HE used Everclear which is not available here or where SHE resides.

SHE said that isopropyl alcohol evaporates extremely efficiently and that in her opinion, it was safe to use IF the item was allowed to completely dry before use. Supporting links were provided. I don't remember whether a final water rinse was contemplated or not.

HE said something like "Well I guess people will just have to decide for themselves." SHE said something like "Yes. I guess so."

It was a good read!

I ended up sticking with the cheapest vodka I could find - and eventually pretty much abandoned even that. So now I have about a almost fully, 1/2 gallon plastic bottle of really cheap vodka that I will probably never finish using, since I pretty much just dry burn and rinse these days. :D

I remember asking about using a vinegar and water mix. I was immediately and mercilessly shot down, so I limped back to cower in my corner. :p :laugh:

(OK, back to "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire".) :D

Invite your friends for brunch and make Bloody Mary. Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce and tomato juice will hide any shortcomings of a cheap vodka. ;) And I agree, that's what I do nowadays, also. Rinse and dry burn. I use my Russian spirits to make limoncello--I have a wonderful Meyer lemon tree in my backyard. :)

Good! You were paying attention! I'm so proud of you! :)

Enjoy!

Makes the atomizer fold down next to the Istick for a more compact device while carrying. Saves wear and tear on the 510 connector.

Press the latch and the atomizer flips to cover the display. When you want to use it, flip it back up and the latch catches and you can vape.

And I could refill my tank without unscrewing the connector.

This might be a 2 prong fix, if the pin is spring loaded, and if they are expecting thread problems beyond the devices that were problematic out of the box.

I don't think I would want to add to the height, but it looks like a nice option for some.

I don't put mine down, much less fold it in half and put it away.;-)

Edit: They need to change the name to the "istick flip".

I think you still need to unscrew your tank if it's bottom fill.




"The black leather design is also a kind of decent luxury."

lol!

Yeah, it would just save taking it off the istick. I wouldn't buy one just for that, but if my threads start getting iffy, then maybe. I'm curious what the price will be. They need to keep it low if it's going to be something you need to have a functional istick. If it has an adjustable center pin, they can put off V2 for awhile.

It's hard to tell by the pictures. But it could easily be a spring-loaded pin...

Dimitri likes it--sorry it his review has already been posted. I just watched it.

It amazes me how many people are missing the accelerator feature in reviews.

(After you hold an arrow and the settings begin to scroll, press the same arrow again and it scrolls by 0.2 increments. Press again, it jumps by 0.5 increments. Press again and it stops, or press any other button to stop the scroll.

I really like the 510/ego adapter with that extra knurled ring. I use it all the time with a beauty ring. It keeps my finger off the air hole of a naughty tank, and makes it easier to hold.

I wonder about that folding hinge, if people will accidentally press the release button. Also when folded with a wider tank, will it hit the fire button?
