Yeah that is a good ole song! Wasn't sure from the pic with the bottom not showing. Nice build at any rate!
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.
Howdy Lyndagayle I have read all the posts here on Eleaf Istick
Thread and of the 1250 or so pages (ouch grin), but I have never read a post here that describes a 30W Istick with the symptoms you say you are having on the bad one, and I agree with Buster send the bad one back and get a replacement
One fairly popular tank for users of iSticks is Nautilus Mini which has excellent flavor to say the least, and lately several people here have been using raving comments about the Eleaf GS air and other models of .Eleaf GS
Its very quiet here tonight, usually there are several regulars here at night, also several old time experts with faithful 510 attys and I think they will tell you they work OK with the iStick (which were before my vaping time); however you'r OK using 2.2 ohms with iSticks
I have a 20W iStick and use both Nautilus Mini and Evod II Glass, The record on the iStick 30 has been good so far since its been out, Few have reported any problems and has a good reputation

Lynda, is the battery fully charged?
Have you checked other atomizers on the battery?
When the battery begins to get low it will go into the lock position, other than those ideas, I have nothing.
Personally I have a dozen iSticks, haven't had a problem with any of them, including old 20W-ers some had thread troubles with.
Your the first person I've heard of with wild-watt-problems.

Just popped in for a minute and saw your post. I use 510 attys on mine all the time. No problem. I would try to send that one back. If you are stuck with it you may have to take it apart and disconnect the battery to see if the electronics will reset. (like powering down any device). But to remove power you'll have to de-solder the battery. Can't guarantee that will fix it but once those little npn and pnp transistors switch wrong, you have to take power off so they go back to normal state. Anyway good luck with it.

Yes, it is fully charged, down just a smidgen but I'd say well over 3/4 charged. Yes we tried different atties and a pro tank on it. Hubby even hit it with his RDA a couple of times before it went crazy. This is the first time in our 4 years of vaping that we've ever had a problem with our vaping unit. We have 4 of the Eleaf itaste 1700mah batteries and they work perfect. That's what led me to want to try their istick. It's so easy to hold (and hide if need be).
I'm sorry you have problems with a new battery, at least we know they exist. There haven't been any major reports on this forum that I'm aware of regarding problems with the Eleaf mods, but like any mass-produced item, problems will arise.
I seem to recall a possible fix, but can't find the post.
One was to just turn it off --- and try it again some hours later.
The other was something like turn it all the way up to highest watts and fire a couple of times. Then turn it to the lowest setting and do the same. After that I can't remember, but it may be good to then fully charge. This may reset the mechanism -- and has helped some correct similar problems where the wattage changed on it's own or switched by itself to voltage.....I seem to recall.
Both are certainly worth giving a try.
Good luck.

FT has the silicone cases for the Istick in stock finally And in 6 color options. I know it's from china but the prices are great. I guess it's time to buy some of the things from my wishlist..

G'morning, 'Sticklers and 'ettes.
Oh look, gerry! FT has the silly cone sleeve in....... PURPLE!
https://www.fasttech.com/products/3023/10012948/2181602
The old skool tech rears its pretty head! This made me smile, big time.
B'lush, Kent C! You're more than welcome.
Yes, the eGo was a game changer, for sure. As was the Twist. And now the 'Stick has turned vape gear on its head. As to the most significant? Who knows. I might have to vote for the drip tip.
You skipped over the Provi??
Ok, I'll admit that I nearly skipped over the Reo. I had one for about a month or so..... (nope, did not like it)
Sun, that is beautiful and I gladly accept the blame! In fact, no matter what happens today (now this is only good for today), you have my full permission to blame me!
blame me. it's ok.
no no no! blame ME!
I'd love to know that info, IMRs. At first thought-glance, I had "Microstick" or even "Janty Stick" in mind. I also thought it might be a competitive play to Innokin's stick shaped iTazte V3s.
Meanwhile, until you get the answer, join me?

eGos would include the Twist
Of course there are the 1.2Ω OCC coils but the RBA can use any ohm, and many are reporting that the 1.2 ohm coil is reading 1.4. So far I haven't changed out the original .5 but I'm not vaping it at 20W
(thanks KatD for the st. pat avi

My iStick has a new friend. I had to share. I'm going to blame this on Katdarling due to her blingy, shiny, fancy rigs. [emoji6]
And yes it's a genuine phoney cloney from Tobeco. I have to say it is extremely well made, well enough in fact I'm going to describe it as perfect. I was very surprised at how clean it was as well. I did of course clean it but it was spotless upon arrival with no trace of machine oil. I have to say I'm very impressed overall.
I know this is an iStick topic but it's on my iStick so that counts right? I had to share with someone! Please forgive me!
iStick on, iStickers! [emoji106]

I don't have any Kayfuns (yet), you and Sun Valley have me reaching for my credit card again.....

no no no! blame ME!
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'..
I'd love to know that info, IMRs. At first thought-glance, I had "Microstick" or even "Janty Stick" in mind. I also thought it might be a competitive play to Innokin's stick shaped iTazte V3s.

Yeah, why is the i"Stick" not a "stick"?
And, hi, I joined the club when I won an iStick 20 a couple of weeks ago. I love it and am taking very good care of my threads!

It claims to be a way to reset the chip.
How I fixed it was to run watts all the way down, take a hit, then run watts all the way up, take a hit, then back to your sweet spot.

FastTech shows these will ship in 7 days. That usually means they don't have them in stock now, but expect them in 7 days. Sometimes that happens, and sometimes it doesn't. I waited weeks for an item that was supposed to "ship in 5 days" and I finally cancelled my order and got a refund. Just bringing this to everyone's attention so if you order, you may be waiting. And waiting.
With that said, I love the red silly-cone cover!
After his dire trials on his 50W, Busardo knocked off it, plain dead, no screen after all, but successfully reset it to full working status just plugging the USB charger.
It might be worthwhile to shut it off and plug the charger, if you haven't done it yet...
Tapatalking..Mind those lampposts!

Maybe the buttons are sticking. Do they have a solid click when pressed?

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ion/601111-eleaf-istick-994.html#post15108035Thanks! Glad to see that my memory wasn't too far off! Here's a new summary.
Turn it off and charge is one common fix.
Turn it down to lowest and fire or take a hit; Turn it all the way up and fire or take a hit; Then run it back to your sweet spot. These actions tend to reset, sort of like a good old reboot of the system.

Also try tapping it solidly with a ball pein hammer!
I may try to dead short it for a second. That will/should actually shut it down completely. Then plug in, with nothing attached, to reset it fully.
Sounds like there could be a positive insultor that's bad. Causing it to short in the 510.. Does the resistance change to .2 when it acts up,that would be the tell. But with random screen activity, if these things don't pan out you may be due a replacement.
