I'm running the 20w Istick at 13.5w max, can't turn any
tank I put on it up more than that without it tasting burnt.

I am admittedly still ignorant about how all this high wattage talk translates to better vapes.
I definitely don't follow this race to 30 and 50 watts by some of the vendors. Someday I'll comprehend.

I found an Aussie supplier for istick by eleaf!! I will have one in a couple of days!! That means I'll soon have 2,, no more equipment shopping for me for a long time now lol. Now just to find the right juice...
Unicorn Milk. It's amazing. But, in the mini Nautilus I prefer Tigers Blood by Zeus Juice. The 60pg/40Vg blend leaves like little drops of flavor on the tongue and it's amazing.

$49.99 for a 50W iStick? With a better connector, hopefully better threads and RMS? Yes please. Even if it's $55 that's still a very solid buy. Don't really care if there's no replaceable battery, if the battery gives out after a year, I'll just buy the updated version for a similar price. Even the 30W version is tempting as well to bring with me to work. Innokin seems to be shooting themselves in the foot though I'm sure the 30W MVP will be a great device. The problem is the price between the 50W iStick and 30W MVP will be close and you might as well opt for the extra 20W.

Personally I will buy the MVP. Solid device (MVP2), never has given any problems unlike the iStick, with crappy threads. Honestly, the threading on the iStick is horrible in my opinion.

Even though you have one, it's still hard for me to wrap my mind around Q with an istick; expecially with all the ultra HEMs you have. :banana:

It's still to everyones advantage because I only vape on a Nautilus Mini at about 5.9 watts on the iStick. The advantage here is the battery life because I vape at a lower Wattage/voltage :vapor:

I know there are a lot of horror stories about the threads but I haven't had any problems with mine. But I found a suggestion on the forum about screwing in the ego-510 adapter that comes with the iStick and then just keeping it on the device and that's what I did. I haven't had any issues with my iStick and a reasonably priced upgrade to replace it is fine by me. Like I said in an earlier comment, I don't need it as my current 20W iStick is working just fine but it would be nice to have another 50W device that has a small form factor. And honestly I'm tempted to pick up a 30W MVP as well just because of all the good things I've read about it. Not sure what I would do with a 20W iStick, a 50W iStick, a 30W MVP, a Cloupor DNA 30 and an SX Mini, though. LOL. Maybe I'll just collect reasonably priced, nicely built VV/VW devices.

I am just hoping it helps me get through the worst 3 months of quitting. If it does that it is well worth my money :) But I think I will put the adaptor on it to avoid the threads stripping when I get it thanks.

Using the adapter should work fine for you. eLeaf also sells a bending adapter that is supposed to work really well. Seems like it sells for $6-$10 but the sites I've checked are out of stock at the moment.

You will do just fine in 2015! You're 9 days in already. Try not to look back. :)
