I ain't sayin I LOVE it, but I wish I had bought 2 I just realized that I'm vapin it left handed. That's a first. Now I don't have to put it down to use the mouse. Even typin with it in my hand. I like vapin left handed. It's doin justice to this Rose. Bride of Bikenstein is in the other room right now, she thinks it's still on the charger.

I always vape left handed. If you notice, it's easier to read the istick 'Lefty' because it was built for lefties.
Well, at least I haven't heard any complaints about which way the dang screen is facing (or was there??).

I have yet to hear any complaints about screen orientation. I paid $21, shipped for my current iStick. Not gonna complain about the orientation of the screen. Though a stealth mode would be nice.

You cannot beat this with a stick. Use coupon code: jan15 and the price comes down to 29.07 shipped. This is the whole kit.

"Where's my istick? I thought it was charging!" ( It's charged) " You have it" (I had to test it out) " I don't want your stuff on it!" (Let me show you how to set it) " Have you decide to get one for yourself?" (Why do you ask that?) "Because I know you like it"...........................Can't get nothing past em after 40 years!

Sounds just like my house

Didn't you just get 15 PIFs before Christmas, jerseyman?

Bike,

The 510 connector threads on the current iStick aren't any worse than any of the many other PVs that use chromed brass connectors. They're certainly no worse than VAMOs, for instance. That may not be a sterling recommendation, but they're far better than the soft-as-butter aluminum 510 connectors on some cheap mechanicals.

When my first iStick's threads began to go "wonky"---about a month after I got it---that immediately got my attention. I immediately started exercising the same care that I do with all my other softer-metal connectors---avoiding cross-threading by making sure that the male and female threads are synced properly before screwing on a tank, using a light touch to maintain a smooth path, never forcing any tank, and not over-tightening (more than snug will short the positive pin and cause the iStick to read 0.0 ohms and not fire). That first iStick hasn't given me any thread trouble since and is still chugging along quite happily. Same is true of all my subsequent iSticks, which have no thread wonkiness at all, since I was careful with them from the start.

Maintaining the thread health on my iSticks has been no big deal---it takes just a little more mindfulness and about three seconds extra to put on a tank. That said, stainless steel connectors are much better, and I hope Eleaf uses them on all the subsequent versions, along with spring-loaded pins.

YMMV, of course.

I exercise care with all threaded connections, vape related or otherwise despite the quality of the materials. As I stated earlier in this thread you will always have the less mechanically inclined population that meet resistance with more force and think tighter is always better while applying the gorilla grip to everything. My 2 iSticks have displayed no threading issues and I don't use any adapters. They travel to work everyday as they are my go to stealth devices. I daily use them while driving because of the form factor and quality of the vape when paired with the right topper.

I have never had threading issues with any vape device despite owning more than one with less than a stellar 510 thread. Just as we'll never rid ourselves of those that should not have a driver's license we'll never be rid of the less mechanically inclined that will fail to grasp that the bulk of their problems lie with the operator and not the device.

@oldladyo i got 2 but promised to return

How hard is it to put on? I always screw up putting the screen protectors on my phone, so I'm a little nervous!

I took off my blue carbon fiber jwrap because I wasn't thrilled on the color, and it seems like I could just reuse it again if I wanted. So the wraps seem pretty dummy proof. I'm terrible with stickers, but you can retry if needed.

Also reminder that letting it ever so slightly rub the fire button will fix one that rattles!

Not sure if anyone saw this yet. If anyone's interested in the Mini iStick. It's on sale at discountvapers for 19.99. It's not a presale. It's ready to ship. Just silver though...

Oh that's a relief that I can retry if needed.

Oh wow... The button tip! I could kiss you! That's genius! That rattle drives me nuts!

Isn't it variable voltage to variable wattage? I think that's what he means.
