Oh I agree. Just waiting for a scope to unravel the mystery of Vavg.
Mine is doing just dandy with a kayfun right now. Of course since my coil is like 100 wraps it barely fits on the deck but it certainly vapes like it should.

Pretty sure that is what battery University says.

"For long-term storage, manufacturers recommend a 40 percent charge. This allows for some self-discharge while still retaining sufficient charge to keep the protection circuit active. "

It seems to depend on the juice. So far I always start at the lowest setting off a fresh charge, then slowly go up until it tastes bad and back off a bit. I end up at a different setting for each juice, but once I'm there it's good for the life of the charge. And I'm able to use that setting immediately after the next charge, for that juice.
Once the battery has discharged a bit I am able to go to higher watts if I want a warmer vape, but again, that's a juice by juice thing. I am able to find a good setting, for my taste, from the get-go, in other words, and don't have to reset the wattage, but I can go higher, if I want to, once the battery has discharged a bit.

Someone did put this on a scope. umm maybe 67.3 pages ago. The output of the iStick was almost identical to the fancy MVP with the ring. Anyway, the Horse Lives! Where's my Stick? 
I know - Inquiring minds want to know!
Man, this thread is movin! this response is for 3 pages ago!

I think we All Know that it Aint Gonna Be Over till Phill Scopes it.
LOL
That joyetech guy clearly didn't understand the issue we're talking about. We already know that an average reading meter will match what the istick displays.
The issue is that a Vrms display would more accurately reflect the user's experience relative to most other devices.

Will from Joytech might not Know. But Joytech knows Exactly what we are Taking about.
Because this Thread is being Scrutinize Closely by Joyetech.
I ordered the 26th as Pre-Buy. I sent them a message about the whole listing being pulled and the new listing showing in stock requesting an explanation and wouldn't you know the reply from VapeNW came with a tracking number which actually shows a real shipment with USPS. Will be here Monday.
Just picked mine up locally
Love it with a nautilus mini so far. I tried my aerotank mega on it and it would t sit flush. The nautilus mini sits perfect on it. Glad to finally be in the club!
Hi Hammy. Yeah I'm about 45 minutes from Mojo Vapes and I picked up 2 Isticks this afternoon.
Note to all here: I'm insanely fussy (OCD) about details with QC, even cheap stuff, which is why I prefer to buy from a local B&M if possible so I can analyze and test everything. I picked up a silver and black. The black was fine but the 1st silver had a slightly crooked display. The 2nd had a good display but had a couple noticeable flaws in the case casting. The 3rd was just right. Gee I feel like Goldilocks
Shortly after I left I noticed the non-firing button issue. Having read this thread I immediately kept pressure on the button and pressed even harder but still no fire and no display. I then released the button and it clicked as normal when releasing any other time. I felt quite sure my finger was in the middle of the button. So I guess its still a bit of a mystery and hasn't happened again since.
Initially both Isticks appeared fully charged and as others have mentioned, I also noticed that I had to set the voltage lower than I do on any of my other devices to get the same strength of hit.
I then checked my black one which still appears fully charged and just now I tried a Kanger Aerotank Mini on it with the 1.5 ohm dual coil which for me can never be pushed past 3.7 - 4 volts max without tasting burnt. I set the Istick at 3 volts and sure enough it hit hard and the juice was popping like it was about to explode but oddly it didn't taste burnt.
I then put a fresh battery in my Sigelei Legend V2 and set it to 3 volts and the hit on that same tank/coil was quite weak.
So regardless of how the Istick is readng its voltage, I can clearly see why many users are saying it hits too hard on some of their setups compared to all their other devices.
As others have mentioned, I will just ignore the settings and simply adjust it to taste, and since I mostly use consumer coils in several Nautilus Minis and an Emow Mega tank, all of which start out at 1.8 ohm and quickly go to 2 ohm after a bit of use, its so far hitting perfectly for me every time. I'll just reserve the Aerotank/1.5 ohm tank for my matching Evod VV batts which adjusts voltage perfectly for that tank.

I use 1.8 BVCs and if I'm at the low end of wattage it's very cool, to me. I like a fairly warm vape though so I don't stay down there. Higher ohms lower watts will lead to cooler vape, but your cool may be different than mine so the only way to know if it vapes cool enough for you is to experiment.

I put it on my 1.1 ohm rda and no matter how low I went with the watts it burnt my freshly dripped coil and wick. The evidence continues to mount and I do believe what people are saying about it not lowering the voltage. However it does work very well with my 1.8-2.0 ohm BVC mini so ill just use it with that. I needed a new low-profile VV battery to replace my ancient Vision Spinners.
I predict the iStick V2 will be out in a few months that corrects this issue.

This about sums it up. Nicely I might add. I have a feeling at a setting of 3.0v my juice is being initially zapped by 4 volts... then it tapers off to 2. Well, given what math is these days... I guess that's 3 volts on average. Nothing to wad panties over mind you, I just wish somebody would confirm it. And yes, I think Joyetech knows the answer.
@ Joie Higher than 2.0 ohms seems to be your best bet with these if you like a cooler vape. I have no trouble using 2.0 and above. YMMV
I do have a triple 1.4 coil tank that works well with the iStick as well. It is a little big for the iStick at 6 ml capacity but it still works well.
