Ordered it on a Sunday afternoon. Got it in Saturday morning's mail.
Angelcigs apparently ships from a warehouse in California...
For me, now it is just 'a new kid in town'.....
Meanwhile, more than five hundred pages, more than five thousand replies.....it's not hard to keep on this thread, it's the next thing......
And a modded DNA40 istick! OMG!
P.S.: Oh! I forgot to tell you! Spurred by the thread about BVC hand-made coils in Kanger attys, I've done some really fruitful attempts, and they work!
I'm as cool as a cucumber with these new toys!.....

Nice! How do you like that Emow tank? I've been eying it for quite a while...
Thanks for your help, I think I have the products narrowed down, So, Im going to go get tanked (on eliquid, not booze
)
The tank is thin and flexes a bit. I find a gentle rocking works great to get it on/off. One of the reasons the Erlk is so lite. The iBtanked glass tube fits, but almost doubles the weight of the Elrk.

Gotta say, that looks pretty sweet!

Zelphie, just bear in mind that the eVod, Aerotank mini and T3D are eGo threaded--you'll have to use an adapter. A regular Aerotank (19 mm in diameter) is 510 threaded--no adapter needed.
Still running my first build. Wicks as easily as the videos claim, light in the channels. Runs great up to 22w.
I understand the option of running dual coils. I'm a single-coil kinda guy. I run all my RDAs & RTAs single coil/regulated. I have yet to find a dual-coil RTA that works well in a single-coil set-up. My two RDAs (Veritas & Plume Veil clones) work great with single, duals or quads (PV only).
Unless you get a Erlk clone with the large-holed center post (or get the replacement post from Austria), I don't think there's enough airflow to support dual coils.
It certainly has better flavor and vapor production than my KFL+ v2s and doesn't leak!
I really like this istick.
Works great with 2.0Ω Aerotank or 2.1Ω Boge cartomizer. Running 11.5w-12.5w.

This is all true great post.
I want to put something read the other day about charging cycles too see what other think. Batteries all have a life cycle the most common number i see is 400 cycles. I saw a chart( i cant find the chart and the number are guessing from memoir so keep that in mind) that if you only charge the battery too 94 % you double the charging cycle too 800. If you charge to 88% that you get 1200 cycles and so on. Again i cant remember the extract % or number of charges but you get the idea.
Any one know more about this ?

Really? You can vape a single coil Boge carto at 12 watts??? I never could go over 9 watts with a stock coil in a carto without risking burning the filler... Is it tanked?

Hi guys, feel like I've been in vaping he11 today. One of my iSticks is not regulating, getting bad burnt hits. 
I thought it was a bad pack of BVC coils last week. Tried my naut mini again today with a new coil. Worked ok for a while then a bad burnt taste at only 8.5 watts. Moved it to a Vision Spinner and it was ok, just residual taste. Also had issues with wicking, leaking and no connection. I have a New F/T DNA 30 clone with bad 510 threads (have to use the iStick ego adapter to get it to work) jesse! was using my backup this afternoon, Spinner with a T3S. Finally have my Kayfun & F/T Hanna working now, got some Ko Gen Do today, Yea! I'm leary of using the other iStick right now. I just wanna good vape with no hassles!
That EMOW looks very sweet Zelfie, less than the Aero also.

It works flawlessly, on par with any other aerotank....
And even better with a hand-made BVC coil at about 2,2 ohm, just in case for the excess of power... I drive it at 10 - 12 W (eLeaf watts, of course....)
Its only drawback is its capacity. It's rated at 1,8 mL, but it's not so serious if you consider the family, in which only the 'mega's go beyond the 3 mL range. But its appearance is simply unbeatable!
What kind of connection does it have? 510? eGo? hybrid? I can't figure it out from the pictures.
The size is fine for me--I don't use anything bigger than 2-2.5ml, anyway.

Sorry to hear that, Buster... Can you send it back?
I was just wondering how it'd look with the EVOD Mow since I knew it was bigger than the standard EVOD but wasn't sure. Looks very good. Does it come with the airflow base or did you add that separate?

Well, I've been out for a couple of days and I've just read all the missing messages on this thread......wow!
Twenty pages ago it seemed that the ranting about the 510 connection was on rampage, and I haven't found anything about a little detail that I think everybody is missing. I'll try to explain myself, but I'm afraid that my English would not keep up with the task.....
First, the threads. Plenty has been said about them. It's obvious they are not machined on a hard metal, so some protection is strongly advised. Better to wear the adaptor (any adaptor, it's your call about how it appears...) than the in-site machined threads.....
Having said that, there is the question about the insulator, the sinking of the central pin, at all that jazz....
I've been using my iStick since September 29th, on a daily basis. It is my out and about mod. Always with the Smok 510-510 AFC adaptor (those threads). I've put every conceivable atomizer on it. I do not have plenty of them, but I'm fortunate enough to have drippers, genisis, a Fogger, and several 510 and eGo Kanger clearomizers.
And yesterday my iStick started to complain about 'atomizer short' if I screwed it too snug....
So I dismantled the adaptor and pry up the central pin. Just like the old fashionable eGo's. Just like my now unused L-Rider miniLambo. It's not so hard, easy with care, and it's been a normal procedure for those type of 510's, which are insulated with just a plain rubber grommet.
After that I compared the lengths of all my male 510's, and I discovered something troublesome: all my Fasttech drippers are really long, then come several Fasttech 510-eGo adaptors. My Fogger, UD AGA-TD and Aerotank are more or less of the same length. Finally, the eLeaf supplied 510-eGo adaptor (the one with the knurled ring) is the shortest of all!
Interesting! The 510 female on the iStick is prone to get sunk, and their adaptor has the shortest male 510.....
And of course, as I'm vaping on a Trident (long 510) and on Kanger clearomizers on my iStick, sooner or later its 510 will get sunk. Well, sooner, just yesterday!
Even using the Smok AFC adaptor, as its central pole floats a bit over the delrin insulator, it passes the pressure of any long-510 atomizer to the iStick's central pole.....
So I'm now running my iStick with the supplied 510-eGo adaptor, both to protect the threads and to make longer the 'prying up' intervention on it.
Check your frequently used atomizers and adaptors on your iSticks! It's easy just to put them, two of them each time, confronted by their 510 males, to check which one is the shorter... and about adaptors, maybe it's high time to pick up the shortest one!
The supplied 510-eGo adaptor seems to be partially regulated, if you turn counter-clockwise its central pin while you fix the other end. If not, both turn over the delrin insulator. But once you get accustomed to this trick, it seems to become not so deep, which is its major drawback. Some ego clearos, like my new EMOW, wouldn't connect without this final adjustment.
About the short-cuts, be warned that the 510 connection on the iStick is built over a plinth (I think that's the word) machined directly on the top plate, and all the top plated is connected to ground (negative), so if the central pin goes down, it will touch the grounded metal and shot-cut. This is different to all the former '510-sunken' mods (from eGo batteries to several others), in which the sunken pin didn't short-circuit anything, as the grounded metal remained surrounding all (the mod body).
I think eLeaf designers did it in that way to ensure better insulation against e-liquid leakages..... I'm trying to remain optimistic....
Hope this long message would help to understand what it is happening and how to avoid it, or at least, minimize the interventions....

It has an eGo conection, but bigger than usual miniprotanks. It's designed after the new Kanger EMOW Vision-Spinner_like batteries, at about 16,5 mm in diameter.
