I have an istick 20w and a "smart 20". Both are great - but oddly the kosher istick doesn't work so well with the GS-Air (they were literally made for each other).

Strange ohm/volt errors occur. Fine with the "smart 20", also fine when using the nautilus Mini. Weird, huh?

Howdy e-pipeman,

What seems to be the problem with your iSick 20W and the GS Air?

I ask because I was thinking about getting/trying a couple of GS Air's for my 20W and 30W iSticks

I was under the impression the GS Air would work great with the iSticks

could it be the coil is bad?

Thanks Bookworm, all's good now !

I was told it would ship this after noon today and just waiting for the tracking number
I am sure I will love it

I am in Ft. Lauderdale

Glad to hear they are shipping it today. They almost always ship same day, one of the many reasons I order hardware there. And I read your update about them refunding the shipping costs. Excellent!

I'm sure you will love it! I can't wait to try mine. I saw one in person this past weekend and it was so small compared to my MVPs!

Well, the 50w came. I stuck it on a charger until it no longer flashed (fully charged). Then I took it out and used it.

IMHO as long as you allow about three seconds before hitting it (press the button, hold and wait) this thing can't really be improved upon.

But it does that. Just so you know.

I've been using it for about 5 hours now and it shows no drop in voltage.

To celebrate its arrival I made 10 ml of Chefs Vapours English Trifle. Even without steeping/ageing this is great on this device.

Blimey. I remember 18650 attys and batteries that just died because liquid got into them.

This is WAY better, even at low voltages.

HOORAH!

One of my 50's does that too with a low ohm coil (.3), I push the button when I grab it off my deck to begin firing prior to vaping.

1 month and 1 day after I ordered it it finally arrived. The box was torn wide open and badly mangled. The display is dead. It won't take a charge, and the down adjustment button is frozen. There seems to be some distortion around the fire button which doesn't rattle. All in all, I am hoping for a swift refund. At least the 3 cute little silicone covers for the 30's are ok. So much for CVAPOR.


Yesterday I emailed the company because the tracking was stuck for 2 weeks. Got an email back today saying the order was out of stock until 3/14/15. Looks like it will be at least a month. I apologize to anyone who ordered from c vapor

I can't sing the praises of GS-Air enough! I have 4, and am getting 2 more in a co-op. I LOOOOOOOOOVE the GS-Airs on my sticks.

Bike, have you tried Wakonda?......

Good lord I love that stuff in the morning....kinda like a coffee and chocolate mix, with a hint of ta-baccy.
No I haven't tried that one but you make it sound good. I still vape and like tobacco flavors and chocolate. Sounds like one I'd like. :)
I accidently ramped my black 50 up to 50w and think I blew out one of the dual coils in a GS Air.......

edit: Checked out the Wakonda at NT. No mention of chocolate just vanilla. Funny how our taste differs from others. I may just try that one :) Any more NT flavors that you recommend? I can't remember those I've tried. Must have been Betelgeuse

So you press the button and it just works without a short delay? There's definitely a delay on my kit. I just press and wait before inhaling (to avoid disappointment). :)

yes I notice a slight delay too, but to be honest if it was 3 seconds I would have thrown it out the window! :)

Troll, I built dual 28 ga kanthal 6 wraps at 25 watts, it won't fire for a second or two.

On the Vapor Shark it fires immediately.

inspects, I bet on a meter it is firing, in the miliseconds range, that setup just needs a little time to get glowin! :)

You talking about really low resistance coils?

I don't have any delay at anything above .5 builds....nothing I can notice anyway.

And I only have the problem with one 50W, the other iStick 50's fire the .3 quickly, not immediately, but faster than the blue one does.
