Simple solution to the Istick's weakest points being the 510 pin and the threads. 1. use the 510 adapter that comes with it and put a beauty ring like the one that comes with the nautilus mini over the ego threads. 2. buy a 510 airflow control adapter (lower profile than number 1.) both add a little bit of height to the device but not enough to take away from it's compact design. Most importantly you have just extended the life of your Istick considerably since these seem to be the two most common failures of the device.

hmmm, am I the only one who did not spend any $$ on vaping gear during the break??!! I do have to say, all of the deals posted in the last 30 pages looked attractive, glad I did not see them before they expired :closedeyes:

I've had plenty of times where I didn't buy no matter how good the deal was.

So, I received an email from Central Vapers today. The IStick I ordered on Friday, is out-of-stock. They are giving me the option to cancel the order or keep it on backorder. No complaints with how they are handling the situation, I just can't decide what to do. My Friday order from Got Vapes arrived today, so I again have two working ISticks..decisions, decisions...

Keep it on backorder at that price. Killer deal. I'm getting my 3rd from them as well, and I'll likely gift it to a friend who doesn't have one. I would not cancel. My two cents.

I'm waiting for my backordered iStick to come in. At that price, I plan to vape it down to storage levels and keep it as a back up.

Received my Caravela from Fluid Vapes today. Very disappointed to see its obviously been used. Sent an email with pictures. Hoping to get a replacement. It was being used in 18350 mode. The other two tubes are new and still in the protective plastic sleeves. Just very bummed about my first mech mod arriving this way.

The iStick from Central Vapors has arrived. It is still cold from the mailbox. The 510 adapter and User Manual are included. The User Manual is more of a mini pamphlet with teeny tiny print. I need to learn how to use it. Then, play musical coils to get it near a real life 3.7 volts.

Central Vapors business card in the package states Save 10% off your next order coupon code CVAPOR.. With their excellent service, prompt shipping and fast delivery I will gladly pay the sales tax. It sure beats waiting 1 week to 10 days for delivery.

Still waiting on ecig.com. Two, instead of one, Aspire Nautilus minis showed up in the cart. They sent email indicating the amount for 1 of the clearos had been credited. It has not shown up on the bank account. Of course, nothing in the mail from them.

Off to attempt contact with an out of state vendor that has had my order "processing" since last Monday.

Will sales rev up again near Christmas and/or after the first of the year?

Thanks all,

Elaine

Answering hilited question. From now through 12/31/14 the mail will be slower and less accurate. Then you have this to put up with,,,,,,,,,,,,,the Chinese New Year starting Thursday, February 19, 2015. Every Chinese person stops working, factories close down.....nothing in or out for ~ 25 days. After 25 days it takes almost to the end of March for them to build stock to send here. Some vendors are able to plan ahead and can roll with the punches, Smaller vendors not so much.

If you're asking about sales as in $20 for a ProVari dragon mini (LOL) then yes there will be Christmas sales and EOY sales then pretty much nothing until after the aforementioned Chinese holiday.

Since you already have 2 iSticks...you could cancel the order and consider the IPV Mini...about $10 more than the iStick...but about the same size of the iStick, YiHi SX-130 30Watt board, RMS regulation, replaceable 18650 battery and spring-loaded 510 connection.
