so what ohms for a Protank mini my or EVODS would be best for these ? I think I have 1.8 and some 2.5 around here too. Won't be getting mine for another week or so.....love reading how great everyone thinks they are.. can't wait to get mine. New vape gear is always like a kid at Christmas. :)
If you like the cooler vape, the 2.5 would work nice. If you like it hot, the 1.8 lets you go up to 16.8watts max. The 1.5 coils I have will let me go to 20 watts, which is too much for me!! I'm enjoying this iStick at about 8 watts for most tanks/most juices.

lol, I can't vape that Cuban Mojito low enough!! 4.7 watts is still hitting hard!!! (2.1 ohm coil on a aspire bdc.)

I spoke with Anita at vapeoutlet today. She said last week they had shipped 1000 packages and they sat in the PO unscanned, not moving. Now, no way to tell for sure, but Anita assures me they have all but black in stock, and before noon orders will go out same day, afternoon orders the next day.

...

I don't know anything about that Seller. Never have purchased from them.

But I do know a Little about the Post Office. And Barring something Extremely Out of the Ordinary, everything they receive gets Scanned within 24 Hours. Not Moving, perhaps. But Un-Scanned, hummm?

I have a protank mini and a kanger T3'D and they hit like heaven on everything I have. Sigelei Legend II, Vamo V5, Mech Mods, ego VV's, evod VV's, and some other VV/Vw mods I have. The problem is I only have 1.5ohm coils for them and therefore won't work on the iStick without giving off a burnt taste. If you are going to use a protank or evod I would suggest using at least 2ohms or above. The iStick is a powerful little devil. It works well with my RBA's and drippers. And many Folks here on ECF have stated that it works excellent with an Aspire nautilus mini with the bottom vertical coil (BVC) at 1.8 ohms. It's design has good juice flow and can keep up with the hot coil. YMMV tho.

Well, I couldn't stand it! I ordered another iStick! Blue this time! they are in stock at VAPENW again. Gotta have backups right?!! :D Also have a Mini Nauti comin to go with it!

Hmm, just to note, the description for it at VAPENW appears to be the same one from one of the ebay listings I saw a few days ago. Namely the "Please do not leave negative feed back just ask for refund, we have no control over Eleaf."

It may be nothing, but just had to say it out loud.

I know, right? It's not like she would have admitted that it sat in the back seat of her Camry for 2 days till she got to the PO. But that's what she said.
Caveat emptor.

This thread does have the poor experiences with this vendor, so take the above tempered with that. :unsure:

They oversold on ebay last weekend and marked mine shipped in ebay a week before they even had one to ship to me. That wasn't the fault of the P.O.
VapeNW's negative feedback doesn't really look any better, but member experience here sure does.

And I just did more research, VapeNW does appear to be the home base of one of the main sellers from ebay referred to earlier in this thread. Both located in Federal Way, WA. I would steer clear, just my two cents.

Avid Vapor and Indy Vapor appear to be the safest bet at the moment.

I don't recall any complaints about vapeNW or Uvape in this thread. Just the surprise at the listings being pulled. That's why I was pointing out the comparison. I believe VapeNW is also a brick and mortar in the Seattle area. I don't remember if it was Fed Way. Haven't heard any complaints though.

I could very well be wrong. And I haven't heard any complaints about them specifically, but since they appear to be the same seller from ebay- uvape. I could be mixing up the feedback though, so apologies if so. It does sound like there are some success stories as Patrick mentioned above. Maybe the ebay issues was a different seller.

You may be thinking of Vapeoutlet? They do seem to all run together after awhile.

Namely the "Please do not leave negative feed back just ask for refund, we have no control over Eleaf."

that has to do with the pre-order for $30 or so, then you decide that you don't want to wait until mid October.

Vapenw is a good company. IMO. I've ordered 2 from them for $36 ea. they are in stock again. fast shipping also. Wash to Fla in 3 days.
