If your doing what I think you're doing......I do know.......:p

Welding inside an industrial boiler?

Regardless, be safe....hope you have enough energy left at the end of the day(s) to stop back in here.

I think Bike said he was working the baghouse this shut down. Pretty hard nasty stuff!

Thanks for the tip. Do you wrap touching or spaced coils? This seems to be a debated topic lately.

Both of those are wrapped touching.
My KFL+ is now empty so I am going to try it with 26g 10 wraps spaced on 2.5mm, should come out to 1.3Ω, I have to keep the kayfun's above 1Ω so I can use them on the 20W.

A parallel or twisted coil seems to give more flavor, check either of them out on your next rebuild and see if they work for you.

Good Morning iStickers! Just wondered if anyone posted this yet. I've always wondered where eleaf came up with the iStick name and I did find out that it means 'Intelligent Stick', BUT I still want to know how in the heck they came up with 'stick'..:confused: I emailed them and I'm waiting for a response, however I figured someone might know here at the iStick thread. :)

I decided to get a 30w just for the extra runtime and I can't find 'em in stock anywhere. or at least anywhere I'm comfortable buying from.

Decided to get a 30 now even tho my 20 from Oct? is fine. Need better voltage regulation. Mean is just mean sometimes, lol.

I don't shop much and looking around it seems that there's not many quality equipment shops out there.

Interesting...I have 15 sites in my "30Watt-iStick" folder...and 11 of them (including all the $31-$34 SALES) are OOS. Four where are available:

Sweet-Vapes $34.95 battery only...(They only have PINK and BLUE):

Eleaf iStick 30 Watt Base Kit

Vapor Authority $38.49 FULL KIT:

Eleaf iSmoka iStick 30W Box Mod Kit - Authentic Eleaf

FastTech $38.73 FULL KIT:

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.

Certainly not your fault.....they're selling like hot-sticks.......:)

I assume they cannot manufacture the devices as fast as their selling.

Last OT post about coils...

I didn't like the spaced 26g on the KFL+, too warm a vape and the 20W took a little to long to ramp up for me. I went back to a 28g micro coil in the KFL+ at 1.4Ω and it is much a much better vape at 10W-12W for me and the iStick.

Now a duel spaced 26g @ 0.5Ω and 35W is just perfect on the Origen/IPV2s... :vapor:

I jumped on the istick madness and ordered two 30w's, one for hubby and one for me. I love the way it fits so snugly in my palm! However, we had a problem with one of them. :( We haven't decided what tank (if any) we want to buy to go on it so while we're waiting, we just popped on our faithful 510 attys (regular 2.2 resistance). Vaped like dreams at first, until hubby's starting shooting up to 30 watts all by itself. He adjusted it back down to 9 watts and two or three puffs later it was back up to 30 again. It even fought with us at times when we tried to bring the watts back down by going right back up. This morning it started locking and unlocking by itself, even when it wasn't being used and wouldn't shut off. Then the screening started flipping on its own. Now it's stuck on 5 watts and won't go up. Has anyone had this problem??? The other one works like a charm. The bad one registered the atty at 2.2, which is correct. We've been vaping for 5 years but this is our first box mod and just wondering if there's anything we can do or might have done wrong???? Are these devices not geared to handle a simple old school 510 atty? I'm confused!
