I'm luvin it! 8 wraps 28 ga 1.7 ohms. I got a bad batch of Naut. BVC coilsBack to the Kayfun and this.
The kayfun is to damn heavy for the 'stick....pulls my pants down......I'm thinking of getting an Erl....
So far I'm on day 25 with the same 1.8 ohm BVC mini naughty coil .......Wow!.....I did have to up it 4 eleaf volts though to keep the same vapor production. Also, day 36 and I'm still getting nearly 2 full days on the 'sticks' battery life......Ain't life Grand!?
OK, I'm serious here. My thumb still hurts!
It's locked when I wake up in the morning and pops/hurts every time I bend it.
I was hoping it was surfing on the phone while on vacation,(right after I got my istick) but I haven't been on the phone for a week.
Yeah, I know, put the damn istick down.
Seriously, Has anyone else had this problem?
I've been vaping left handed. I'm going to have to go to a chiropractor to find out how to relieve this!
Use a different finger?

That's amazing. The longest I have gone on a BVC was 18 days; and the shortest, 7. How much liquid do you go through daily?
I think Noalox is a great lubricant for the threads. Just a lil dab ill do ya!

Well well well, that does look great! Now do I really need another topper?
Quick question for all the iStick users.....When you adjust your wattage up or down for the perfect vape with a new tank, coil or flavor. Do you find you adjust in 0.5 watt increments, that is go from 9.0 watts to 9.5, to 10.0, to 10.5? Or do you adjust 0.1 watts at a time?
The variability of my iStick is stuck on high despite what the screen says. Yes, I'm aware that it will not adjust below the available charge on the battery, but this is different. It worked fine, for a couple weeks, when I first got it. Now, even with only a 3 volt charge left on the battery and all the variables turned all the way down, it will immediately burn out a BVC in my Nautilus Mini that was working fine at 15 watts on my fully charged Vamo5. Tried this 3 times with verified working and fully broke in coils by just moving the tank over to the iStick. I'm tempted to replace the board/chip with a genuine Evolv because I like the form factor that much. I could put a better battery in it while I'm at it. I haven't read through all 448 pages of this thread, so I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but I'm disappointed...to say the least.
Seriously, I have googled and found it to be "trigger finger". It is painful, especially when you wake up to it. I am vaping left handed now. I just wondered if anyone else is experiencing this. It's freaky to have constant pain that you can only blame on electronic devices. I guess I need to make a splint, since I can't seem to put the istick down. The only thing that could be irritating it now is using the mouse to surf the web.
I'm not crazy, but I am an addict.
I adjust in .5w increments. I don't think I can differentiate VTF @ .1 increments...
That's interesting. I noticed this morning that an ego-c on my itaste at 11 watts doesn't hit as well as my istick at 4 watts. I don't even care because I will park the itaste. I vape and don't want to chase numbers. I love the istick form factor (I hate tube mods) and would be perfectly happy if it wasn't VV. Just give me this form factor (it could probably be smaller) , charger, batt protection, and shut off with an 18650. Somebody should have built this 4 years ago! But they got wrapped around touch switches, VV, puff counters, blue tooth vape data, and other BS..... I'll probably get another one in case this one crashes, but then again, the e-grip may be the be all and end all for me.

It's repetitive stress, which happens to gamers who constantly use thumbs to press the controller buttons, and I guess now vapers who press the button on an APV a lot.
I used to play a lot of games on consoles, so I adapted the technique of using the first joint to press the buttons instead of the thumb tip. That way, I'm using the bone to exert pressure instead of the muscle; seem to work well for me on vaping also.
I guess since I change my hold all the time, I don't use any one finger to fire the iStick, I'm not using any finger enough to give me pain. While you are using your left hand, try switching things up and using both thumb and forefinger. See if that helps.
Thanks. I just thought it was from using the maps and such on my cell phone on vacation. I was shocked that it didn't subside when I got home. I'm going to try a brace for sleeping, since it seems better during the day.
I love that I barely have to press the button to fire it
So...ok...Has anyone "thought" they were accidentally bumping the adjustment buttons ?
Meaning that the settings had changed ?
I thought I was...but...
Last night vaping at 6.9w (as always)...got up this morning (not turned off during the night) and it was set at 8.9w - glad I looked at it first, that would not have been pleasant for me.
and that's quite a jump !

Not sure if anyone has the same "issue" as me, maybe it's just my OCD idk. I have a cheap 510 to ego adapter, when I threw it on the stick with the mini nautilus and the trim ring that came with the tank there is a decent sized gap. I think it's just the adapter cause I'm sure they come off the production line by the thousands per hour. I was thinking about trying another adapter, any thoughts?
My battery indicator stopped working a couple days ago.
Then late last night the whole thing went kind of crazy. Ohm reader was going all over and the power kept changing itself. It wasn't the atty. I turned it off for the night to see if it might reset itself and so far this morning its working again. Hopefully its ok now.
