Yes, yes. Your 2cents. When it comes to cinnamon and menthol, I'll add my 2cents to go with it.
Otherwise, here is your change back sir. :| ha
The wicks on these are so tiny, really not an issue.
You want your flavor 99.9% accurate. Don't do it.
You want a more than reasonable test of a juice, flavor, you might try it as I consider more than accurate for the ease of use.
And the weight of it was really the selling point for me, in case others might like a superlightweight, inexpensive, easytouse, bottom coil clearo.

I'll spend my change givin it back to you. :) Good points on cheap and better way (the bigger the wick, the bigger the issue). But I use 510 attys to test juice. They are just as cheap and give me more pure flavor when testin. :) I like the cheap (under $10) GS Airs on my isticks

So I just got some Kanger Esmart BCC clearos.
Small, super lightweight for with the Istick.
Bottom coil, replaceable heads, cheap.
Flavor nothing like a Kayfun etc. (ha),
but the Istick feels almost naked with this feather weight tank!
I got mine from HealthCabin - 5pack for $10 (sold out)
Some places charge $4 each.
They are also great for flavoring tasting.
The tiny wicks change flavors in just a few puffs.

Those almost look like T3S clearos, except for the drip tip. The coil looks the same, too.

Cap'n I agree that you can just add another flavor in a used tank and it will change to that flavor after a few puffs but there will still be residual flavor in that pre-flavored wick that can last up to 3 full tanks or more. That residual flavor can completely influence your decision on whether you like or dislike your new flavor. Doin that can also mute the new flavor makin it seem as though it is weak when it's not. Stronger flavors like cinnamon, coffee, menthol and fruits can really last in a wick and make a major change in the actual flavor of a liquid. But even milder flavors and similar flavors can contaminate a wick to the point that they make a good flavor seem bad. You might think, man that needs steepin. And then a week later you try it with a fresher coil and Wow steepin really did that juice some good!:2c::)
Took the words right out of my mouth! I fully agree Bike. :)

I was very interested you mentioned a new Sanyo 35 amp battery being available, and check the websites of some of the respected battery vendors. None of them listed any Sanyo batteries that would be rated to vape anything, let alone sub-ohm

* RTD Vapor
* Illumination Supply
* Lighthound
* Orbtronics
* Battery Junction

So I checked our own Batteries and Chargers forum and also the CandlePower Forums, with no mention of a new 35 amp capable battery.

Also the iStick batteries are Li-Po type which are rated for higher amps than the standard IMR batteries we normally use in the battery replaceable mods.

I'm beginning to think vapers should have went lipo from the beginning.. Imrs are not as good, let alone the icr's in the beginning. You can find lipos that blow imrs out of the water. You can easily find a 60amp cont. lipo.

People can complain that they can't change the istick batteries, while they change out thier crappy imrs all the time, while 2 years later my istick will still smoke all of thier batteries.

Hey guys, hoping one of you can help me out a little, ive got a 20W version iStick that has a strange habit of reseting itself to 3v once its been woken up from sleep mode, i can turn it off and on again no problems and it sticks, but if you leave it to sleep and wake it up its completely forgot the VW/VV setting it was on and defaults back to 5W-3V which is annoying - is this a problem with the istick or something that can be fixed easily?

Sorry to say it, but it sounds like your iStick is defective. It should not be doing that. The iSticks should retain all settings when they go into sleep mode or even if they are turned off and back on again. Hopefully, you can exchange it with the vendor you bought it from.

Hi, I have 2 istick20s and on one I keep getting a "protection" warning of some kind and also a low atomizer warning. When these come up which is really frequently as of late, the ISTICK doesn't work....do I need a new one? Do any of you have this happen to you? Thanks

We probably need a little more info but, generally- You probably have an atomizer or coil problem that needs to be resolved. Possibly a positive pin kicking sideways on the Atty.

When it shuts down, Remove the Atty and plug the istick in to reset it.

Okay, I'm going to say it, I like my istick 30W better than my istick 50W.

I'm S L O W L Y realizing that I'm losing interest in getting a 50W-iStick. :shock:

I was never interested in it's 50Watts. I'm an "analog-convert vapist" and find a Nauty with BVC's at 10-12Watts gives me the "perfect" analog-experience. I want/need nothing more.

It was the 4400mAh that sounded so attractive. But it's gradually dawning on me...

At Home...I have 4 20W/30W-iSticks, a couple VV3's (and some 18650 Mods). I plug any of my mods with "low-battery-indicators" in to my handy-dandy $16 5-port Anker USB charger Amazon.com: Anker® 25W 5-Port Desktop USB Charger with PowerIQ Technology for Smartphones, Tablets and Many Other Devices (White): Cell Phones & Accessories each night before I go to bed. So...at home...I'm never without a usable mod.

Out & About (I'm either unemployed or retired...so I ONLY leave the house for FUN)...I take one of my 20W/30W-iSticks with me. It's 2200mAh has yet to run out on me. (But just in case for an "emergency"...I also keep a 2nd 20W/30W-iStick in my car's "pool-noodle lined" cup holder.)

So...I'm beginning to think...why am I interested at all in the bigger/heavier 50W-iStick when I'll never use the extra Watts and don't need the 4400mAh at home or when I'm out and about???

I'm thinking the same thing.

I have 5 20w now (I keep seeing good deals) and never run out of battery life.

I was thinking that I should skip the 30w and go directly to a 50w. I don't even need the 30w since I use my Nautilus mini @ 12 watts and it's great.

I also am an "analog-convert". I vape to stay off the tobacco not to blow huge clouds.

I am also in the smaller is better camp, as I am also a smoking convert to vaping. I almost pulled the trigger on the 50W, but looked around at my 3 20W and my newly acquired 30W, and thought "do you really need another istick???" The only reason I even considered it was because of the battery life. But, like Gerrymi said, I have ample chargers to keep my existing isticks charged and I have not been without a charged one since I got my first.

And of course, the 50W doesn't have a silly-cone case yet so that's just a deal breaker.;)

Yikes Vil I have 4 20s and none have ever exhibited that, sorry but I don't know what to tell you.
