Oops, my BVCs are 1.8 ohm. My BDCs are 2.1 ohm. The BVCs are available in 2.1 ohm because I just ordered some through a coOp.
See? You got my hopes up there! I'm sure there will be more resistance options available soon for these Nautilus-specific BVCs.
Just guessing,but I think the finish on the case won't be very durable.
I can see wraps being made for this mod.
They are available through Eigate. Seems that none of the vendors are stocking them yet though.
Here they are in the regular (non nautilus) BVCs

Thank you for that. I'm sure it is a great device for medium to high wattage vapers, just not those of us who really want less than 4.1 volts (or so). And then, that only applies to a fresh battery. Maybe I'll get some 3 ohm coils and a dedicated clearo to vape on when the thing is freashly charged, until it discharges to the 3.7 voly plateau. IMHO, it just isn't the right way to design a variable voltage device.
If you are seeking a better design, You may want to look at the higher end mods. These are inexpensive and absolutely awesome for this price range in the opinion of many including myself.
What chip does this one use? How long does the battery last? What is the minimum atty that can be used?
I think I might wait to see if they come out a V2 ....even though its mighty tempting there are usually a few bugs involved with a first release.
1-3.0 ohm atty, charge lasts most of us all day. Chip is proprietary no info available.
Good info here http://spinfuel.com/eleaf-istick-review/

Unlock the Low-voltage Protection: The iStick begins working again once it reaches 3.65V.
Low power Alert: If the battery’s power is lower than 10%, the power symbol on the screen will flash.
Atomizers from 1ohm to 3ohm capable
Accurate Metering
Pass-Thru vaping while charging
Accuracy
Using my 2-in-1 Ohm and Voltage meter I picked up from MyVaporStore ($19.95) awhile back I ran some tests on the accuracy of the metering system in the iStick. Using a 1.6-ohm coil in the Nautilus Mini and a 1.8 -ohm in the Aerotank the iStick read them exactly the same as the meter, which was enough to convince me that the electronics in the iStick were solid quality and accurate.

Maybe but if there are, they have not been found yet. I seriously doubt that they would do a V2 with a different chip for this price but, it could happen.
I am only using the Nautilus mini from the Aspire line so those won't do for me. Need 2.1 ohm specific to the Nautilus.

Ismoka has been around for a very long time and is known for the quality of their products. I have seen no complaints at all about the quality although you are not going to get a $300 mod for $30-$35 shipped.
I hope that someone, if not eleaf, will come out with something just like the istick but with the buck circuitry for step-down because it would be all I'd want if they did. I still like it a lot, just a shame that I can't use it as it is with a lot of my delivery systems without getting an unpleasant vape. For example, there aren't many or any places that I'm aware of who sell 2.5+ ohm coils for iclears. Coming from using MVPs and provaris I've gotten used to being able to adjust my pv to whatever coil I have and I imagine I'm not the only one. It's the only thing I am at all disappointed about with the istick!
You may find what you are looking for in the SX350 chip but, you will also pay much more for it. Heck, a 3.7V device may serve you well. just the cost of the SX350 chip is more than this mod costs total.
@Sage-femme you may want to edit out the specifics of that coop. Against the rules to discuss outside the coop section. 
Keep your eyes peeled for more BVC coOps though.

It's not much shorter than the Twist I never use because it's too big, like the iTasteVV. I always preferred the box form over tubes. I made an 18650 tube once but was always inclined to grab something smaller. Usually an Ego 650 or Erolls. But for the price and Mah, I pulled the trigger anyway. Can't beat that price.
Oh, I don't actually expect it for the price. Like I said I like the istick. It's important information for some people, though, that it does have this limitation. I was perfectly happy already with my mvps and provaris, and having this tiny cute thing to slip in a pocket for dog walks, under 50 bucks is a no-brainer - I have 2.5-3.0 ohm cartos and coils that give me a perfect vape on it.
