Yes. Well, I don't always check, but it charges from about 11pm until 7am, so I'm pretty sure it's fully charged.
Nonsense. First, I'm not burning up anything, I use basically the same settings on my Zmax mini too. Second, if what you say is true then how come I got 24 hours out of a charge initially?
I've reported this along time ago. Thought I had the only crappy battery life. Started at 11 hrs a day. Probably down to 8 myself now.
Yeah, even with sometimes, heavy, heavy vaping, both of my isticks last 48hours ish.
Or pull the positive pin down on the atty if possible, that's what I do. Works every time.
That is what I did. Turning it counterclockwiseOr pull the positive pin down on the atty if possible, that's what I do. Works every time.

It's normal for the resistance to go up a bit as residue builds up on the coil.
Depends how much you're selling a used one for.
I was going to wait until I saw some reviews but I couldn't wait. I thought it was too late to pre-order and have it shipped on the 28th so I called a VS store in NJ and reserved one. They were very nice and didn't even want a payment or deposit. They said they'll hold one for me and call me when they get them.
Make sure that screw isn't holding anything together. Some atomizers use that screw to hold the deck to the base.
Day 8 for me. It's overpowered by about 0.6V with a 1.3 ohm coil, but not a problem to deal with. Seems to last two days so far (fully charged one morning, lasts until the next evening at bedtime). A nice, simple mod...just hope it lasts.
The problem I have with the 'Eleaf iStick' is the fact that it cannot decrease voltage below what it's battery is charged at.
Lets say you are using an atomizer with a single 1.4 ohm coil .... and you have found that you get the best vape at 9.5 watts.
Well, your battery is going to need to supply 3.8v in order to give your 1.4 ohm coil 9.5 watts.

The problem with the iStick is that it can't supply voltage below battery voltage ... and a fully charged iStick will in fact make more than 3.8v when fully charged.

Bad Deal ! ....................
Any good regulated battery needs to be able to supply voltage above and below what it's internal battery voltage is at any particular point in time.

So I decided to get a jwrap in carbon fiber black. It's pretty sick, and does provide a slight bit of extra grip. Though not as much as a rubber case would *cough eleaf*
It's hard to get good lighting for it, so forgive the cliche hand hold. But should give an idea for those thinking about it. And note, I couldnt get an angle to show it, but it also covers the top and bottom, via separate pieces.

dryspocket .... You need to not concern yourself so much as to what kind of wrap you want to install on your Eleaf iStick .... but worry more about whether or not this regulated mod will even be able to fulfill your requirements for power.
I'm pretty sure he's had it for awhile and is happy with it, as are many of us.
If I recall, you're referring to the Protank Mini 3. The bottom pin on the PT3 Mini is the bottom pin of the actual atty poking through the base, so there's no concern about loosening anything else on the tank. Its also not a screw; the pin is just pressure fitted into the atty. So don't pull it out tooo far.
$15.50 including shipping. Not too bad. The options were a bit overwhelming, so I just went for black carbon fiber hoping for some grip. But for those wanting more for looks, there are plenty of choices. Looks like you have to find the print you want first, and then see if it's available for the istick. Or at least that's the only way I figured it out.
And yes Flt, I'm quite happy with my baby. You'll note the nauty mini on it; I wouldn't even know what to do with more power. I'm a happy camper.
