Mine did the same thing. I took an o-ring and put it on a 510 to eGo adapter, on the side that screws into the istick, and that fixed my problem.
I like the istick, but I won't buy another until the few issues it has are fixed.
What size o ring did you get ? I don't want to pull out the center pin in case eleaf forgot to solder . Can I just push o ring over center pin ?
Thanks
Not sure, I used the o-ring from my Kayfun, the one that goes on the chimney/top cap.
Pushing an o-ring over the center pin may be difficult. I'm not sure.........sorry.
Has anyone tried the aspire et-s tanks w/ 510 adapter on the istick? I'm not having any issues w/ the nautilus (full & mini) but the et-s tanks are nothing but trouble. I'm getting leaking/ gurgling / spitting. I've tried taking them apart, letting them sit even over night (was having burnt hits), replacing coils. I'd love to be able to use these tanks but I can't deal w/ the molten hot liquid getting shot into my mouth 
Invited a few vaping friends over tonight, all but one using iSticks. The garage turned quite cloudy at times
Counted 1 Nautilus, 1 Silo, and 2 Naughty minis, all running BVCs.
Having tried many different Clearomizers and CartoTanks (I don't have the time/energy to even consider Rebuildables/Mech Mods)...what impressed me most when I got my (first) Nauty with BVC's was the amount of vapor I got. It was the first time I really got the same amount of "smoke" that I had become accustomed to with my (previously) beloved analogs.
Although I completely enjoy my Nauty's (with 1.8Ω coils) at 10-12 Watts on my iStick at home...when I go out to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. I jack the iStick down to 8-9 Watts to get a more "socially acceptable" amount of vapor.
Things to try:

I love this thing. Some old timers might appreciate this.
I found an old 801 atomizer that never worked right on my regular batts, but I never tossed it because it tested OK on my ohm meter.
I also found some old 801 carts, from back when "high" was 36mg. I seldom used them because 36 caused some head spin!
2 year shelf life? Yeah right.
I was reminded of more of the ridiculous fiddling we did. Low bridge/High Bridge, having to trim the carts, sucky soft whistle tips, straw mod...
On the istick, it varies from 3.7-4.5 ohm and the istick just adjusts.
Once I kill these carts, I'll drip it till it dies!

Circuit Board Spacer (for some reason, links to MV don't work anymore on ECF).
Has anyone here tried to use MadVapes' circuit board spacers to fix iStick's connectivity problems?
I've used them successfully on my MVP2 with a few atties that wouldn't make contact.
It seems like that would be a solution for some, but it also seems that the silicone gunk around the center pin may just be sloppy on some, or, the topper center pin pushes the istick to the side causing the short. I thought about ordering some of those, but it doesn't seem to be a distance issue, but rather force on the pin causing a short.
My 2 are working fine so I'll deal with it when it becomes a problem.
I'm actually using these in both my isticks and it's working perfectly for me. I'd do the oring fix only as last resort.
Yea the istick is a litte finicky with that ego adapter, I get readings all over the place with my mini protanks. Just for the heck of it I put some of my old ce4s on there and it didn't even read them. Luckily for me I'm using a lemo right now which is 510 threaded.
I wonder if there is another 510 to ego adapter you can get that would work better, I see ego to 510 adapters everywhere, but haven't seen many 510 to egos.

I think the hinged/folding adapter that eleaf is coming out with will solve some 510 issues with the istick.
yeah, those adapters are hit and miss, Ive owned about 5 and they were all bought various vendors, the one at provape is best so far
For ex-smokers like me, amount of vapor passing through one's nostrils provides an important sense of satisfaction. That sense is almost as important as the throat hit. While I don't go after huge clouds, I still want each inhale and exhale to generate a gratifying amount of vapor. The Nautilis/mini with BVC can definitely achieve that. Each new and improved vaping gear makes it easier to stay away from the cigarettes, that's all it matters!
Can somebody tell me where I should buy the istick from? I was about to pull the trigger at vapingcheap.com because the $32 price and I need to get and MVP 2 for a friend and they have both so I could save on shipping. The problem is that i read the reviews for them and they were hit and miss to say the least. Can anybody recommend a good place to get authentic Mvps and isticks at a reasonable price? Thanks for the help...
They carry both for a reasonable price--free shipping over $50, free priority over $100.
