It's on the back of the box. It's a little stickler and has a bar code on it.

Was you box shrink wrapped? Did you buy the full kit?


Did you find the scratch off with code?

I just ordered a 50W from Cvapor plus 3 blue silicone covers for the 20's and 30's for 49.52. Free shipping. Says they're in stock.

Eleaf iStick 50W VV/VW Mod Battery - Cvapor.com

Now the wait begins........

You're going to love it!

By the way, never saw silicon sleeves for the IStick! I hope they come out with them for the 50w, as that's my only, minor complaint about it, it's slippery in the hand.

The "hobby vapists" are all jumping into the low Ω's/high Watts fad. I, as an "analog-convert vapist", am quite content with the 30W-iStick + Nauty with BVC's set-up.

The Nauty Mini, of course, "looks better" on the iStick than the 5ml. Nauty...but at 10-11 Watts I was filling the Mini "continually".

But switching to the 5ml. Nauty's you lose the AFC hole size markings that are so helpful on the Mini.

Has anyone come up with a way to "mark" the AFC hole sizes (or even just 1 of them) on the 5ml. Nauty???

I was an Analog convert when I first started vaping. Now I'm a hobby vapist.

Exactly the same situation here...

The only things missing is the iStick and the 3 Kayfun's.

I just ordered 100' of 28 & 26 gauge Kanthal and a big bag of Japanese Cotton, it's only a hobby right? :D

Give rayon a try, I think you may just love it. :)

I normally use Rayon as it is the absolute best wick material for flavor and ease of use. Since I ran out and can't find any locally, the Labo Puff (KGD style) package was right there with the Kanthal on Amazon and I'll run some of it for a while as I have used KGD in the past.

I really need to find someone who can purchase from the local wholesale beauty supplier, then I'll pick up a big box of the stuff. :vapor:

I received an iStick 50W yesterday and after charging the battery, I started vaping on it with a Silo tank, set it to 12.5W and noticed it was running cool and not producing the vapor it usually does. I had to crank the iStick up to 19W before the Silo started to perform how I like it. I double checked the tank on three other devices set at 12.5 (Sigelei 100W, IPV Mini and iTaste VTR) and all three devices produced a noticeably warmer, fuller vape. I then checked my other attys on the iStick (Tugboat, Magma, and Doge V2) and noticed the same poor performance.

I'm now thinking that my iStick is underpowered and will probably return it. But before I do, I wanted to ask: has anyone else had a similar experience with the 50W?

Mine vapes as good, if not smoother, than my IPV mini at the same wattages. It does take a bit longer to heat up, but the IPV mini does boost a bit when first fires before it delivers the setting whereas the iStick is just straight volts/wattage.
