I really like how they added the better top cap with the spring loaded 510 and the better threads. I also like how it will accommodate bigger tanks without looking wonky.

And the lock function on the arrow buttons! I think they solved most all the complaints. I'm glad they didn't move the charging port as some requested.

Me too, passthrough would be useless with the port anywhere else.

I think it was in Kat's itty bitty thread where someone noted that there is no mention of a passthrough function in the newer Eleaf models. I looked for it in the 30W... It may have just been over-looked. I never use it, but like knowing I can.

Yes, but folks have verified that you can use it as a pass-through

What do current iStick users think the chances are that Eleaf got things right the second time around with the 30W? For less than $35 shipped and in stock, I'm considering breaking my vow to not be an early adopter/guinea pig. I'm thinking about treating myself in celebration of being 6 months analog-free and my birthday. Everything I have my eye on is either not available yet or has questionable user-feedback. It appears that Eleaf's leather holder should fit the 30watter, maybe?...

When's your B-day, alden? Mine's around the corner! And believe me, I'm staring at the 30w non-stop wondering how lovely of a gift to get myself that might be... then the next thought is, "Yeah, cuz you NEED another iStick!" D'oh! I so dislike these self arguments. I really get on my nerves sometimes. ;)


It sure seems like they ticked off all the customer feedback boxes(except means/rms?)--and kept the same price point! Personally I'm pretty impressed with Eleaf-- they could have milked the 20w for a few more months but instead realized they might lose ground to competition and responded remarkably quickly. I too am looking at the 30w... and the 50--doh!

Stop it. I'm easily influenced. :laugh:

Good to know. I thought they might have just overlooked it in the description. I still don't NEED one!
I wonder what will be available when I do need something.....:p
Most of them aren't putting it in the description because technically, it is not a pass through however you can still connect it and use it while it's charging.
I talked to Eric today at discountvaper and he said that he is going to put it in his description because I sort of nudged him to do it (told him a lot of people were asking about it). Just be sure there is a charge on the iStick at all times because it won't work. If anyone owns an Ipod, it's the same idea as that. :)

Not just the 30--seems to me you need a 30 & 50w to be complete-- all accessorized of course with your tanks. It would make a lovely family portrait!

Today. :D While I don't technically NEED the 30W iStick, the revisions are certainly attractive for slightly more than 1/2 the cost of a carton of analogs (1/4 in NYC!). But I currently only have ONE mini-mod. ;)

I am eying the 50watter too. Though I will probably install a DNA 40 in my Hana clone enclosure and call it a day. I can't see me needing more than 40W in the foreseeable future. I'm currently happy at 25-27W while dripping. Though the vaping gods only know what we'll NEED in six months. Temperature protection has my attention. Dr. Farsalino's forthcoming study may prove it prudent. Besides, having at least one really solid device that uses 18650s may be the smart way to go. With my luck, an entire shelf full of iSticks will have their batts quit on me over the same weekend!

If I ever need a device that can run on an 18650, I'll build one. My state legislators be damned!

You're on my watch list, shackness. ;) Trying to corrupt and enable me, hmpff.

I truly don't desire the 50w, but that 30 is looking awfully sweet. Now, what color..... hmmmmmm...... do those come in GOLD?

alden, I know whatcha mean. I need the 30w like I need another box of kartos. :blink: Hellsbells I need to SELL mods, not buy them! :D

What's your ONE mini mod...... just the 'Stick?

And hey.... you are one kool cat in my book, kiddo, so with that said, , ,
