Has anyone tried a coil over 3 ohms yet? Everything I have seen says it will run anything from 1 to 3 ohms but I have some 3.2 ohm cartos and it is firing it.
or..y'all could just agree to post in one or the other and let one fall away...
or...y'all can keep posting in both threads...
zoiD's post in the other thread about combining them...would be messy
(also got a PM from someone about doing that)
That is seriously bad news. I was going to post that I am thinking this to honestly be a MVP2 killer. I too am a low wattage/voltage vaper - I can get almost two days out of my ProVari with a 18490 battery sitting at my desk (my MVP2 is my travel mod) and I can get an entire weekend from one charge on the MVP2. I usually vape on a 1.8 coil at 3.3 volts (nice and cool with lots of flavor).
I've not gotten my iStick yet. But personally it'll be a paperweight as I like my Silo tank (Beyond Vapes) and the Nautilus coils aren't readily available in a 2.2 or 2.4 ohm size.
Bleh
I found the right bit and couldn't resist taking a peek. I have no intention of doing a complete disassembly, I'll leave that for someone braver than myself, but I took off the bottom cap to just take a little look.
Impressive how much they packed in a tight space. I like the machining of the aluminum enclosure as well. That white round thing covers a bit of insulator over what appears to be a soldered wire connection to the battery.

Me, too. People looking for info on it will be more likely to find this thread I think.
I don't understand what step down means...but I have my 1.8 Nautilus at 6.5w. 3.3v and it's vaping fine...not where I like it but was just checking it out....now going back to my 11w
There would be a lot of seeming duplicate posts if the two were combined.
So just to let anyone that is curious know. I just got my iStick yesterday @ 12:45pm (EST). The battery meter looked to me to have a FULL charge right out of the box. I vaped it exclusively from 1 pm yesterday up to about 9:45am this morning.....(and I was using it until 3:30am this morning). So, on a fairly heavy vape day, I got about 20hrs and 45 minutes of use (minus the 4 hours that I slept). I just charged up the iStick (using a tablet USB cord plugged into my laptop). It took approximately 2 hrs 15 mins, to 2 hrs 30 minutes for it to regain a FULL charge....from COMPLETELY depleted......That's All Folks!.......WAIT!.....almost forgot. Vaping on a Kanger AeroMega @ 2.0 ohms @ 5 volts or 11.9 watts, according to the screen on it.

It steps down - lowest output voltage 3 volts.
Stepping down isn't a big deal at any price point - Ego Twists do it don't they?

Let us say you have a fully charged battery (4.1v or 4.2v), and you do the above "1.8 Nautilus at 6.5w. 3.3v" - that should be a nice cool vape, full of flavor, but because this device does not have a 'buck' circuit, even though it is showing you 3.3v, it is really giving you the 4.1v or 4.2v of a fresh fully charged battery, thereby giving you a much stronger/hotter - higher wattage vape.
I have yet to get my device, so I am only going by what others have written. The point is, this device cannot give you a lower voltage/wattage than the battery currently has. So (stealing ProVape lingo for a moment) - if you want a device that will deliver the exact same vape from the first puff to the last... - it appears the iStick is not your baby (if you are a low-power vaper).
The iStick has the circuitry to 'step-up' as needed - meaning if your battery is at 3.7v and you are vaping at 4v, you will get the 4 volts that you are asking for until the battery needs recharging.
Does this make sense?
It's good you are agreeable...this is the older thread tho, so would be best to leave this one open...let's see what the other OP says too
rofl...Dirk...seems your name is blocked by censors...need to get a name change request done
Well...for me...I just plan on following this one...the title is clear and item specific
I really don't have time to thread hop these days
