I was Mainly curious if someone was Selling these and saying that it was a VW Device. Which it Isn't. Or if it had an Ohm Display. Which it Doesn't.
Yep... Hard to not get one Aint it?
BTW - I spent 20 Bucks on cigarettes in less than 4 Days. And Cigarettes were Cheaper then than they are Today.
Doesn't it need another connector to use a 510 thread tank like an EVOD?
I always see them for 30 to 39 dollars. Are they really available somewhere for 20? That's hard to beat, if accurate.
It Doesn't need anything to use a (and I Hate this Term) 510 Topper. But you would 510/eGo adapter to use a Topper that has eGo Threads.
Like This one...

BTW - You don't have to buy an eLeaf Brand 510/eGo adapter. About any 510/eGo adapter will work for eGo Threads. I like the one that eLeaf makes. But there are Many other Choices. And they All cost about 3 Bucks.
Yeah, but you gotta shop. I saw one for $18.xx somewhere. There is also a mini thread about a site in china.

BTW - Some seller sell a iStick Mini Kit which includes an 510/eGo Adapter or a USB Cable or Both. These kits are a Few Dollars more.
But worth it to me to have an Extra 510/eGo adapter. As to the USB. I have about 50 USB Cables. So the Cable I just Give Away to someone.
I was simply letting people know that two more were coming while I won't even be looking at those. I'll be busy looking at tanks for the 3rd 50w mod coming in as well as the 150w wood body mod I just ordered. I could have easily gone for the SMY 180w GOD Mod but didn't want a mod that requires three 18650s when a 150w only needs one either.
At least you know Eleaf smartened up about the 510 connector issue for the next two however. It's also likely when looking back now the reason they came out with the Bending Adapter which was actually a first for any brand was to keep people from running into the problem they realized after the 20w model was already out for sale! That was a quick fix as well as the idea of having something to make the iStick even more compact rather then seeing connectors torn out when people left tanks attached and walked around with them in their pockets.
I'm wantin to get the Bride of Bikenstein an istick. I think I might go ahead with a 20 watt since she only uses small clearos, nothin 22 mm. Yeah I put my email on a notification list for the 50w
I'm am a little on the cautious side about going with the 30w or 50w since there seems to be a rush to get them out knowing the Beyang 30w is also due out as well as seeing a number of other 50w mods appearing lately. The 20s are good for what they are intended for but for me that's where it ends. I have to play the skeptic for the moment at least.
Wattage is a calculation, nothing the device does. The whole point of VW devices is for the newbies or the lazy to just set a wattage and forget it. With VV we're going backwards in progression to pick a correct voltage for the resistance atomizer attached to it; but this thing can't even read out resistance. See my beef with it? Yeah it's cheap, I'm only going to be using off-the-shelf tanks on it around town, but if size isn't your biggest concern, don't bother.
Meh, it's a never ending cycle. You'll be cranking 50 watts before you know it. Last year I was happy with vaping dual coil Kanger tanks at 9 watts, and I only use them in a pinch.
I want that 260W SMY mod (from the same manufactuer that makes the 180W God Mod). Having 3 18650s in there should do wonders for battery life in that 30-50 watt range. I have to swap my VTC4's 3x a day at 50 watts
The MVP Version 1 was VV only and no resistance checker. Mine still works and I use it happily -when I'm not using my istick. It vapes just as good as the MVP 2, I don't change tanks often, so I don't miss the bells and whistles. I've got 2 minis on order and I look forward to some good ol' fashioned VV vaping on them.
never took to wattage control i got my istick set to vv and that's where it's staying ...........

I've wondered that too Kat. I just guessed they were no longer a registered vendor, but that shouldn't do it.
I had that same thought, 4, but never checked further into it. Most of us know madvapes at this point, and it's easy to find the site. It is a shame that the links are not functioning tho.
Hi Kat, I'm not ZoiD
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...roblem-links-my-own-vendors.html#post14091196
You're NOT zoiD??? C'mon. Truth? We never see you together........ hmmmmmmm........
Litecigs too?
I read your thread. Sonic mentioned the parse /don't parse. I had never heard of that before. It has to be ECF software, don'tcha think? I dunno about you, but I have enuf of a time writing posts without wondering if I've parsed or not.
Yes, had you not posted, I was going to tell you that hovering prompts the "ECF changed this link" message.
Dunno. I'm not worried, but I do feel bad for newer members trying to simply follow a link here.
Ha. You said MEAN.
Loved that!
I have one coming, but sans expectations. Thank you for the first of the reviews.

Dang... Whole Lotta Quote'n going on there.
LOL
I have turned things up to 50w already! But I would never tell anyone to maintain 50w when running an Atlantis or Kanger Sub Ohm tank now out. For the last year depending on what went into a Smok Tumbler tank running with mostly 2ohm coils either coming that way with the clear only tanks or at first swapping out the 2,4s on the color tanks until another vendor saw those in 2ohm I ran those mostly at 7w and still do or with a few flavors at 10w. That would be either on the MVP 2.0, Smok Groove II that went DOA in June where i then ordered the VTR, the Smok ACEs along with the Vamo V5 I then ordered as well. The eGo-V V3s are still in use while I tanks on some of the V4s I put in the same mod stand while the iTaste VV(as well as VW I should mention) v3.0s searched around for on Black Friday 2013 all running at 7w.
Once I got into the upgrade process with the iSticks starting out in October followed by the Nautilus tanks and then the now four Atlantis tanks just getting in the 8ml The KRAIGEN Atlantis tanks plus two hollowed out SS replacements for two of the tanks the wattages went up! The Beyang came up around here back before Turkey day no less while no sign of that yet except preorder from a wholesale site. The DovPo E-LVT takes care of the 30w part with the Smok BEC Pro and ZNA 50 as well sa the still backordered new ECig V9 tend to the 50w mods. And then we get to the Luxyoun wood body and stainless 150w .... kicker that runs on one 18650 allowing it to recharged while in the mod as seen with the E-LVT. Batteries are replaceable there without worry since you know what goes in!

Once you start cranking the watts up you'll be surprised how fast you'll wear them down! I suspect any 150w mod that only sees one battery kept down should also last a bit longer as well. What I like is being able to take the same battery out of a Vamo V6 20w or Vamo Fire 20w APV and run it on the ZNA 50, Smok BEC Pro 50w, E-LVT 30w, still waiting ECig V9 50w, or the latest Luxyoun 150w! Eventually I will end up needing a frew 20ampers for that however!
The 2.0 still works like a champ here but cuts off right were the 11+w is needed for the Nautilus. At 7w the Nautilus doesn't fare too well with a good number of ejuices while other tanks most are familiar work out well. From what I was running into often enough you had to match the resistance according to the tank design not the wattage. The flavor and output on the Smok Tumblers for example see the best performance from 6-10w with the 2ohm coils in use.

Your posts are very stream of consciousness -- I enjoy them!

I understand that. My comment about it being an invisible feature was sarcasm. I understand that you're not happy, my other comments were just to inform that features you were expecting were never advertised.
I'm neither defending or bashing the product and you are certainly free to express your opinions about it, one of the first to do so for the Mini so that will help those looking for the info.
