Eleaf Istick

[TrollDragon]

Same here, TrollDragon! I tried so many coffee juices. I finally (almost) gave up and turned to NETs. They seem to satisfy the tobacco craving, but sure would be nice to have some coffee with my morning "smoke"!

I have never tried a NET, there is a Honey tobacco from Premium Liquid Labs that I do like as an ADV. The wife says that it smells too much like a cigarette...

So it`s a very enjoyable work vape or even when I am down in the shop.

Any recommended NET's?

My SIL screwed her Nautis down extremely tight and it pushed the pin in on the 20W iStick. I tried everything to pull the pin back up and it wouldn't come up. I put on the Eleaf bending adapter and it allowed for a connection. You could try this if you can't get the pin up.

You have to work it down and under the pin, if you have one of those small screwdrivers that have the small black o-rings on each end they have been used successfully.

Thanks to both of you for the suggestions!!
mudram99, I don't understand!

I take it you don't have one of the tiny screwdrivers I am referring to or you would know exactly what I am talking about. Sorry for the useless suggestion.

It's a big difference between "no atomizer" and "atomizer short". No atomizer is when there is no connection. Not the problem Lynn is reporting.

The combo of the iStick and the protank is resulting in too low of a resistance. Something is making an extra connection between the positive and the threads.

Lynn, does any other atomizer work on his iStick? When you put it on for that one good hit, what is the resistance reading?

Does it work with the ego adapter?

And is there another battery/mod to test this protank?

Oh, one more thing, make sure nothing is too tight. If something is too tight, the oring or grommet compresses too much and can stop doing it's job, that is, to insulate or keep 2 parts from touching. Take the tank apart and reassemble carefully.

I put the GS Air tank I'm using on his istick I get the error message. Same thing with the adapter. His ProTank works fine on my istick. The resistance reading started out at 2.0 and then went to 1.8. On my istick it reads 1.8 as well.

If I use something to raise the center pin it works just fine.

Does it read atomizer short or no atomizer?. Looks like everybody is standin around waitin for some help.

Not sure who you were stating that to, but you just sai the same thing I did much more eloquently!

 

[DaveOno]

OK, then I think the problem is the grommet or oring on the iStick. It seems that the center pin is making contact with the body/threads. Does the iStick give a "no atomizer" or "atomizer short" message when you fire it with nothing on it? What message with just the adapter screwed in?

Look really close at the center pin. There should be a tan grommet all around it, concentric. The pin is either making a short from the top of the pin or maybe it's not centered and making a short from the side. You can try putting a small oring under the center pin. The center pin is the shape of a nail head. But if it is shorting from the side, you might have to open the top and do a little surgery.

That's what I was thinkin if it's readin a short. Good to see you again Evie (if you read this)

 

[LynnNC]

There's a tan grommet kinda there. I see a little of it sticking out of the side. If I fire it with nothing on it I get a no atomizer message. And I get the same message if I fire it with the adapter on it as well...no atomizer.

I was taking my time writing the response, and didn't see your post. We think alike.

Just as an aside, I really dislike the 510 connection. On any device. It's a holdover from cigalikes and is simply too small to do the job of holding these larger tanks. Just my dos centavos.

(I also don't like the 1/4" phone jack for electric guitars.with all of the advancements on every other piece of my musical rig, those jacks remain as a century old technology that really needs rethinking...)

Hey good seeing you again too. Hey at least this thread doesn't cost me money. I love my 10W, 20W, 30W & 50W iSticks.

In your defense, I am drinking and my message to her was very cryptic for someone not familiar with the guts and workings of these things. I apologize.

OK, from this I'll guess the protank is pushing the center pin on the stick harder than the adapter. I'll guess the protank works fine on the adapter then?

I feel you pain when a favorite tank doesn't play well with a favorite mod.

The only 2 things to do are these: Either try to get the center pin on the coil/tank as high as possible, so it doesn't push the pin on the stick down, or fix the grommet on the stick.

Does the tank work if it's really loose on the iStick? I mean, just tight enough to make a connection? you can turn the tank down and test fire until it does, but turn it no farther. If it works, then if you turn it tighter, it will give the "short" error? If so, you have a sick grommet.

Just hang around long enough and somebody will tempt you into some new hardware. I'm thinkin about another 30 and maybe a 10w

Bike your hand looks to be about the size of mine, we would be covert with the 10's and it would look like we were sucking our thumbs!

I agree about the 510 connectors but I just love 6.5mm TRS plugs and my headphones do too.

OT Part...
The cable for my Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro's

DIY TRS plugs from Toxic Cables for my Fostex T50RP's, both were terminated with tiny xlr plugs as well.

Until I pulled the center pin up with a small screwdriver nothing worked. Not the protank, GS air or the st mini I tried on it. With or without the adapter. If I put a tank, any tank on it loose I get no atomizer.

........If I didn't like it, I could trade it to my wife for her 20. She still uses her VV3's more cause she said it was "too heavy" I guess it is in comparison.
