This is for an MVP but it's very similar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjIBwznMdDY
Was just reading through some and noticed people getting burnt dry hits and saying they get better results with higher ohm coils....i have had good results at 1.1 ohm, the difference may be I'm using a kanger aerotank that I rebuild my own coils in though. I do notice that I have to rewick more often then on my other devices

I run 3.0 OHMs and I can get it nice and cold to help with starting up a new topper.
I was tempted the other day by that but with the Bending adapter is use it fits right into the watch or coin pocket on a pair of jeans. That's if I can find it again! What a freaking.... cloud over! 
Knowing me I had to grab the latest out of this week's tally of Vape Mail with one of the Alantis tanks after sizing things up with everything as far as tanks and iSticks lately. Even tossed the Guardian epipe mech mod into the mix from one vendor's sale that also came in besides the 5 Nautilus tanks and 5 steel replacements with one put to use.

O-Ring fix + 4 other fixes:

I got my last "iStick" from FastTech...but I got their Smart-20 "clone" for $26.30 (with Adapter and USB cord)(mainly because of more color choices).
So far (2 weeks) I have found NO differences between it and my other 3 "real" iSticks.
Found 7 smart-20 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Got the vapemail from Discountvapers. Loving the adapter and leather case.
Just curios, but does that leather case also cover the bottom of the istick?
Did you think you would? As I mentioned earlier on this thread the iStick was simply rebranded for sales in other parts of the globe. Due to international tensions many places don't want people using the same stuff they see us with! That plus specifics various governments will or won't allow as well as vendors selling under their own brand name which is far more common then people are aware of. It can be made by Eleaf as well as being manufactured for Eleaf who may not be the actual manufacturer but simply the retailer. The next retailer orders bulk with their brand stamped on the same things.
I can imagine it would being a pocket with a carrying strap.or even more likely that plus a belt clip due to the small size. The belt holder for a larger mod like the MVP and VTR also includes a strap to hold Innokin's 10ml stainless steel U Can for refills on the go. Unfortunately the loop that keeps the main strap with snap in place tore right off when pressed up against a cell phone case while out one day back in the summer. This is another reason why I like the watch pocket size this one offers!
Katya ~ Thank you for recapping this for me.
I just finished listening to something similar on SoundHound about the Aspire Atlantis. It was frustrating trying to find the part that spoke of what I was interested in.
The 1st 5 min was music; the next 1/2 hr was chit chat & all the while I'm like DAMN get on with it.

I know what you mean--I don't usually watch chat videos, unless I happen to like the people doing the chatting...
Anyway, there was little there we didn't already know. My take on the DNA 40 ATM--to expensive for me to be an early adopter. The only DNA 40 battery I kinda like right now is the VS rDNA, but that and a pack or Kanger nickel coils is a $200 investment. I"ll wait. I need to see if those Kanger coil heads are serviceable at all--can they be opened, cleaned, rebuilt? I have a feeling that we'll be seeing more DNA 40 mods on the market in 2015 and the prices will come down.
In the meantime, I have enough perfectly good toys to play with (or to use up
) before I switch to DNA 40 technology.That's what I'm using too; ~2Ω dual coils are perfect on the iStick.
Do you rebuild with one or two coils? I've seen some very creative Kanger DC atomizer head rebuilds, including an oval single coil--made on zip tie! Gotta love our modders. I'm tempted to try it, actually--I want to rebuild with a single coil.
Well, I'm one of those wierd old-school types that loves a 510 atty - made - no making coils or such.SO - the istick with a Nautilus Mini and a 1.8 ohm bvc. That's it. It works, and really well with every liquid I've tried. HAPPY!
I was rebuilding my Protank heads horizontally until I read the thread on doing a vertical rebuild. I like it much better and it's not hard to do--you can vape pretty much the whole tank right to the bottom--no gurgling at the end.

I don't use Aspire BVC coils or tanks... But I know that a lot people love them. I just wish they got rid of that mystery fiberglass in their coils--if/when they do, I'll most certainly get one.
I know. But it's a bit too advanced for me.
I like single horizontal Kayfun-style builds--they are so easy to make and rewick.
I'm not that good and I find them easier than horizontal --thought it would be trickier . Rewicking is no problem-- just pull out the cotton or rayon and restuff. Give it a try.
I do it with Protank 2 heads-- usually 1.2-1.5 ohms--works great on iStick at 10 watts
