I got mine last weds, sending it back tomorrow because the button started to stick the second day. It's getting worse so off it his before it completely breaks. But quick question. How long do you guys think this battery should last if I vape 6 Mls out of my nautilus mini? It's only lasting me until 6/7pm? Def think I would have gotten at least a full day then charge at night....

Kmarton583-- I posted awhile back that I was only getting 5-6 hours vape time on a charge(about 7ml a day with a 1.5 ohm rebuilt Protank @ 10 watts). The consensus was that I should be getting much more than that. I just sent it back and will post whether I get more time from a charge when I get the new istick. Let us know if yours improves once you get your new unit

Kudos to KTM Rider
For you great work with pics on your Istick. Looking at the VT 510 it appears you used the 14 MM one ? I just checked my tool box and my smallest T bit is T-7 bummer looks like a trip to hardware store. I need T-5 or T-4 ?? I also have a drill press but lacking the tap. Looks like I need the 10 mm X .5 ? Where did you find that ? Ebay ? I just ordered another Istick in case I need to do a retro fit too . Anyways great work again KTM !!!!

I'm amazed that price gouging for the iStick has now appeared! Here is someone that raised their price to $99 from $34 for the black...$999.88 for the pink. This vendor had been linked to from Vaping Cheap so I guess they just want to take advantage of the extra traffic. What surprises me is that someone actually paid the $99 asking price for one...ouch!

Cotay, I can't say for sure, but a lot of ebay sellers use the "raise the price to a ridiculous amount" to STOP sales when the item is no longer in stock. They get to "hold" their listing on ebay without having to end it, but "logically", they don't sell any of the item. I only know this from being a part-time seller of my own clutter on ebay, and from reading the seller forums. That is my guess for what is going on with this listing, but as I said, can't be sure.

Last time I listed and cancelled a bid on ebay they charged me nearly 7 dollars, they said you can only do it one time without being charged................. Next time I'll just raise my price.

The seller is listing Black and Red as still available so I don't think that is the case here.

I have been using the Nautilus Mini on my Istick and due to the small size I do need to take it off and refill it often. Opening the Nautilus Mini is another story, it seems to get tougher and tougher to open. I have to use rubber bands and gloves and it is always a huge pain. Just my 2 cents.

I love my Nauty's (BVC 1.8Ω) on my iStick at 10-10.5 Watts!

I found I was refilling the MINI (2 ml) almost constantly. So I got a couple "full sized" Nauty's (5 ml.) and am quite happy with them. Sure...they're bigger...but on the iStick they are not top-heavy.

You may be over-tightening your Mini when refilling it. You only have to tighten it until the silicon gasket just barely "takes hold".

There's a difference when it's a Fixed Price listing. You are correct that you can't cancel a bid on an auction without paying the FVF (final value fees) for that listing. The listing Cotay referenced is a fixed price listing. And, once you have a bid on an AUCTION, you can't alter the price.

Sadly, ebay these days is a mine field.:mad:

Vape NW has the high listings to avoid e-bay fees. They want the buyer to visit his web site and purchase there. Sticks are under 30 bucks but charging shipping. That's why..........

Yes, and VapeNW is skating dangerously close to being banned as a seller by advertising their website in the title of their listing. That kind of stuff will get your account permanently restricted. Ebay is NOT seller-friendly these days. What VapeNW is doing is driving traffic to his website, using the exposure of ebay, and ebay considers that "encouraging off-ebay transactions to avoid fees" and they WILL terminate a seller's account for that. All it will take is one competitor to report those listings. Ebay has changed dramatically in the last 6 months with their policies for sellers. I've seen sellers banned permanently for a LOT less.

Edited to clarify: vapeNW doesn't currently have listings on ebay, but they have an alternate ID of "uvape". I know because I bought my first istick from uvape, and return addy was "vapeNW". Lots of sellers have multiple ID's on ebay. So, to clarify - the seller directing traffic to vapeNW.com is uvape, which is vapeNW under the second ID.
