I have been following both threads on the istick. I definitely see one or more of these in my future. I mainly use my MVP, but also I just got a VAMO 5 a couple of weeks ago. If these are lighter-weight and perform better than my MVP, I'm in! Plus they're cute! I just wish my regular hardware vendors would get them ASAP.I've never ordered from Ebay and I just trust my regular guys better.

I got mine from this seller...

Istick by Eleaf SHIP from USA | eBay

I was Very Happy with the e-Mail, Shipping and Packaging. Just be Aware that this is for the mod Only. It Doesn't come with an eGo Adapter or a USB Cable.

-I ordered from them, and I received an ego adapter, but no cable. Maybe it's a hit or miss thing.

While I'm here.....and since I didn't get one with my Istick, and don't have one of my own...... can anyone suggest a good place (with reasonable cost) for some charging cables for these. I was thinking RETRACTABLE cables, like the DNA style box mods/MVP's come with. All suggestions/help is appreciated!

I got mine from them too......NO ego adapter was included with mine. Was it in the sealed box with the mod, or was it in the package/envelope, as a "loose" piece?

Mine came in the box, and was wrapped in cellophane (Left to the adapter). It's a bit large IMO. I will probably just use my old ego adapter from Provape (Provape ego adapter on far right). Tried both, and they both work.

Anyone know what board these use? Looks like an SX330??

Many of us have wondered the same thing. Someone posted that they called EleafUS and that was one of the questions that they asked. They were told it is proprietary information.

BTW- EleafUS has them in stock and they come with the Ego adapter but, it is $45 with the 10% code. Plus $6 to ship.

I saw some on Ebay that were 5.99 for a 5 pk with free shipping. Amazon has the same ones for 3.90 and free shipping. Just be careful and read the reviews. Some will take a long time to charge.

I use my MVP chargers and they work well.

This was about the same price on Amazon and hadgood reviews for fast charging.

Thanks SG! I just realized.....my wife and son's tablets, have USB micro to USB plugs with them. Since the above charging cable says that it will work with the tablets I have, I would think that that would mean that the cables that I am using to charge the tablets now, should work for the iStick as well?

Yes. Pretty sure that any micro USB will work just fine ;)

If anyone is looking to buy a micro USB cable, you really should look at Amazon first. Even if you don't buy there, the reviews from customers are very helpful IMO They do post the good with the bad as well.

Thanks! Just rechecked my iStick box, and the spot where it would sit inside it, is empty.....so.....NO adapter for me. No problem.....I'm using 510 threaded tanks anyways. I've got some of the generic Ego-510 adapters if I ever needed em'.......(but my guess is..... MOST LIKELY....NOT:)). Thanks again.

I'll tell ya.....I didn't expect this thing to work so well. I've been using it since about 1pm Saturday, and it's still saying that I have about 50% battery charge left (and I'm using it at 11.9 watts/5.0 volts). I'm REALLY liking it!:)......OK......I'm going to bed NOW:laugh:.

I know! I got mine a week ago yesterday and still continue to be amazed with it.

BTW- It also works as a PT so you can vape while charging. Especially helpful on long trips IMO

If anyone happens to be shopping at Provape, , , to me their ego adapter is by far the best of any I've had over the years. Having said that, the look of the one that goes with the iStick is quite nice!
