No you might be pushing the limit a little
Depending on the juice I'm running 10-11 watts with my Nauti Minis. They are the perfect size for this little gem but I sure empty the tank quickly

That is a shame. It has to be a connection issue if the iStick is reading no atomizer though.
They are super cheapo tanks, so I'm sure it's no big loss. My husband just tends to love them because he says they are super easy, no-fuss... and he just had me order an iStick for him yesterday, so it would be nice if his favorite tank worked. No big deal... we'll have to find another.
Super
Just ordered a silver one hopefully it gets to Canada before the blue one from VaporTekUSA TY (Pre Order)
Most likely popped the coil, but if it has some sort of center pin held in by a rubber/silicon seal you could try moving it out a bit, an ohm meter would be your friend right about now.
How did you get it to go up to 17 watts with the 1.8 ohm coil? Same setup here but it will only let me top out at 15.9

I forgot that I could put an RDA on the thing and measure at the posts of the RDA. DUH!
1.7 Ohm single coil, voltage set to 3.4 V, battery indicator is one segment down from full. Averaging meter reads 3.35V. Frequency measures 48.5 Hz, somewhat faster than the 33.3 of the Vamo.
Upped the voltage to 5.5V (max) and the meter reads 5.44V, Frequency at 48.5Hz and Duty Cycle of 98%

0 Ohms is a short. 0L is an open ( no connection). Any other number is the resistance of the coil (remember to subtract the resistance of the leads, i.e. when you just hold the red and black leads together).

May be worth getting a 510 to 510 adapter if he likes those tanks that much? They are very inexpensive. Did you get the Ego top with yours? It would look a bit silly but, you can try them with it until you get a 510 to 510.

A resistance of Zero ohms would indicate a short. No reading would indicate an open coil (popped). If you get a measurable resistance anywhere near what it is rated at then it would have to be a connection issue.
Evods, and similar atomizers sometimes would get the center pin pushed in to far, after removal/reinstall would no longer fire. Using a tweezers, needle nose pliers or some other tool, and carefully pulling the pin out a little would restore the connection.

16.7 to be exact. I rounded up. Could be a variation in your 1.8ohm BVC vs. mine. No 2 are alike. Ohm's law will give you 16.8 but if your resistance is 1.7 ohms you're looking at 17.8 watts.
The way version 1 is selling, there's probably no need for a long time.
Just look at how long the MVP2 has been out with no changes.I'm not sure what drives Chinese innovation though. They seem more interested in cloning what's already out first, then they come up with new stuff.

The only thing I can see for me right off the top of my head, is that I could use a 1.7Ω carto on it. That way I could use any carto I have here.
My Silver iStick Full Kit just arrived from Smoke Evolution.
I kept my Pre-Order going because I wanted to see what the eGo Thread Adapter looked like. Also because I Like that Smoke Evolution is a ECF Registered Supplier. And try to give Registered Suppliers my Business whenever Possible.
The eGo Thread Adapter if Nice on the iStick. But I probably will Not use it Much.
But It is a PERFECT Addition to my Provari's. And looks like it was Built for them.

I used a 2 ohm carto on it with Vape Dude's Buttery Nipple and it worked fine. I couldn't go much past 5.5 watts before it tasted a bit burnt but that was ok. Last night I tried a 2 ohm carto with Vapor Chef's Strawberry VC Cake. Even at 4.5 watts, the lowest it would go, it tasted burnt. When I tried the same carto on my MVP, I could turn it up to 7.5 watts before it even had a hint of burnt taste. I am really interested to see what Phil has to say after he puts this on the scope.
edit: I do want to add that it is entirely possible I got a bad carto. That doesn't explain why it fires hotter than the MVP but it could be why the one tasted burnt at such a low wattage.
