Happy to report that my istick is performing amazingly well! I love the thing! Just wish I woulda went out yesterday and bought some ejuice....the shop I'm planning on going to to sample is closed on Sundays :( So I'm stuck with the cherry crush. It's good, just too sweet of a flavor for me. I need something more menthol-ey (I smoked camel crushes) and able to be an all day vape.

I'm using it at 4.7W (lowest) with the largest air flow on the nautilus Mini and it produces an awesome vape. Very happy with this purchase; and if it lasts me more than a month that will save me $50/10days carton I was buying (... was I thinking?!?).

Some of the gas station juice isn't too bad in a pinch. I would think that menthol is pretty hard to screw up. Good luck.

I don't think I've ever seen juice at a gas station...I will stop by later to check though. Thanks!

Thanks, I have the same setup coming, I was curious where to start at too.

It's really a perfect vape, turning it up only creates a harsher vape (for me). I'm guessing however that once I get accustomed to vaping I'll start increasing the watts.

Yeah, I imagine everyone will find their own sweet spot. At least from some of the threads I've been reading here, I was curious where to start, makes sense to start low and increase if/when needed.

sometimes that low starting point will be still perfect after years of vaping ;)

Just a little FYI for you guys that got the segelei Z-Max mini.......to extend the length for an 18650 battery.......VAMO V3 extension tube screw on perfectly!! I have one since March and loved the size but hated the battery life, so a little research and the help of a friend who has a Vamo v3 (I checked before I ordered) I tried it!!! Perfect fit. Ordered mine from ecigimpressions. AND......and as I side note if you can get your hands on a Kick ring you can use 18490/18500 batteries too. I have three kick rings and two fit.

Thanks for the tip! It appears they are selling two types of extension tubes. Shall I presume you got the one with male and female threads and not the single threaded one?

Tomorrow Heather's Heavenly Vapes is doing 10% off online. That's not a lot, but they rarely do sales....and pretty much the best fruit ejuice I've ever found. As a camel crusher as well, you should definitely give them a shot. You can get any of their flavors with menthol added (I suggest mild.) Lately their Blueberry and Crackberry are becoming my favorite all day vapes. The extra menthol just makes it pure bliss. Expensive, but so worth it if you're looking for a true fruit flavor. I personally got tried of the fake candy flavors.
 
Speaking of, what exactly is this bending adapter? I looked at it on the eleaf website, and I can't figure out why or what it is used for.....ELI5 please.

That;s an easy one to answer while only one or possibly two vendors even carry the Eleaf iStick Bending Adapter which is something you could call invaluable! I can show what can happen when you don't have one as well as have one for both iSticks!

Try walking around with a battery in your pants pocket even a small 650mah eGo-T! UT OOOOOH....! Tank and connector torn right off!

Now take a look at how to make an iStick fit right in the watch pocket on a pair of dungeree jeans without worry about the tank or clearomizer attached!

That was only a quick snapshot I took earlier to show someone else what it looked like not a factory photo seen there. :) It does bend right down further until the bracket touches the side of the battery. And that's what makes it possible to stuff in a watch pocket while a tank is attached to avoid the other type of situation since you know due to the small size people will forget about pressure against the tank leading to what happened to the eGo battery.

Speaking of eGo batteries if you will notice the eGo rubber battery stand. Don't place any twist or Spinner type battery in one of those. When going to lift a battery out of one the adjuster at the bottom can catch the edge of the rubber and risk that being torn out of the battery! Better off using the rubber replacement tips for walking canes as a single battery stand! Those also stand up higher where the battery won't tip over as easily.
 
OUCH! Alright! The cane tips at least the medium to larger size see a 3/4" 19mm opening at the top and fit upto the 1100mah size due to the larger diameter of the larger mah sizes. An older one I found laying around no longer in use I grabbed up and found that to handle the eGo-V V3 and V4 Mega batteries as well as 1300 Spinners. At least Innokin rivets the ends on their iTaste v3.0s so you don't see the end pulled out.

As for the bending adapter I ran into a good review posted on the 19th of this month that goes over everything you will want to see. eLeaf iStick Bending Adapter A Vapor Trail Channel Pre-Release First Look!

Correct, it is the V3 that fits, and the z-max battery end fits the threads also.....i made the mistake of ordering the end cap ( vamo) and didn't need it.

Took my eleaf istick on a little motorcycle trip (1300 miles round trip). Stopped at a motel and all they had available was non-smoking.

Loaded up the Russian + istick with unflavored and vaped away while watching TV :p

They were none the wiser :)

Wouldnt go back to cigarettes if you paid me- vaping has so many pluses. Carried all I needed to last a month in a little box 6x6x4 inches...

**EDIT** Havent had a cig in 7 months now...
