Eleaf Istick

[Bikenstein]

Wow--never seen prices that cheap! Which flavors do you like? They even ship to us hosers!

22 of the 25 or so that I've gotten, so far. My favorites are Tiramisu, Peanut Butter Cup, On cloud Custard, RY4, Sweet Complexity. Before these guys I was an almost straight tobacco flavor vaper. The Premium tobaccos are good too. The sampler pack is cheap and 10 ml bottles. They always throw in extra 10 ml bottles for you to sample as freebies. Big bottles, SUPER customer service, several 10 mil freebies with every order, Fast Shippin

I love my full-sized Erlk. Waiting on a Nano from FT, which is a bit larger in diameter (22mm) then the original Erlk. I love the Lemo. It's just really big. Even on my Hana clone it feels big. The Erlkonigins are brilliant on the istick. I vape max VG liquid. Both handle it very well.

The Erlkonigin Nano is cheaper, slimmer, shorter and has a larger capacity then the Lemo Drop: <$14, shipped vs <$40; 22mm vs 23mm; 56mm vs 74mm; 3+ml vs 2.7ml. The Erlkonigin is top-fill. You must disassemble the Lemo's bottom cap to fill it.

If you get the Erlk Nano clone and it's not airy enough for you, it is very easy to open up with a round needle file. My 1:1 Erlk clone is now as airy or airier than the Lemo. You must take the bottom of the Lemo apart to adjust the airflow. Once mastered, I find the Erlk easier to build. My current Erlk coil has >100ml through it, having been wicked twice, and is still going strong.

You can separate the Erlk's base from the tank without draining (videos online). If you like a glass sleeve for the tank, hit up IBTanked for $5 or so.

Can you tell I love my 1:1 Erlkonigin clone and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Nano from China?

The FT Erl mini is 20.5mm, not trying to be picky but you know there are some around these parts that are. I really like my mini Erl. I think it looks great on the iStick

Saved the link to their page..... With this new kanger sub tank, I'm really going through the juice.... That I've been paying $20+ for in 30 ml..... It's getting painful
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

Thank you for the correction. I have read reviews for this clone that have stated it to be 22mm. I prefer that it is <21mm.

Thanks again!

iStick with the Erl mini, have become my daily carry

Has anyone ordered the 30 watt iStick yet? I ordered one last night from Sweet Vapes and it shipped today. I guess everyone is holding out for the 50 watt version?

I also ordered a mini Erl from FT and have a ton of Vape Wild juices. Looks like a lot of us vaping the same setup. The Apple of my Ice is my favorite juice from Vape Wild... try it if you're into menthol.

It was a Black Friday sale. They over-sold their stock and I waited three weeks for delivery. I was not going to purchase another iStick after my first suffered an untimely death. I simply planned on keeping track of future mini-mods that were being announced. At that price however, I wasn't going to rob myself of the fantastic form-factor... I'm currently eying the 30W iStick, Cloupor Mini and Smok XPRO M36. There are a couple more I'm interested in hearing more about. A lot of pricing hasn't dropped yet either. The list that Katdarling has been heroically keeping current is growing weekly. I figure that things will settle reasonably well by the first of February. Chinese manufacturers are going to want to have supplies in vendors' hands before they break for the Chinese New Year on Feb. 19th.

Unless you're desperate for a decent vape RIGHT NOW, I'd wait for some user feedback and a couple of reviews of these new mods before parting with any of your hard-earned cash.

Makes sense to me. I'm eyeing the 30w iStick myself. I'll wait until February -- uhh -- unless I can't....

Thank you, aldenf, and it really is my pleasure to keep it going. A question for you, and everyone else...


Do you guys think it might be better suited (worthwhile) if I started a new thread with our list? This thread is enormous, fast moving, and can be confusing to newbs. The info can get lost quite easily and quickly.

Or do you think it's best to leave it here?

I have no problem either way.

Leave it here -- but you must update it every 8 hours so it remains accurate

Second thought--new thread

And/or, Blog it?

Maybe it's me but why do people talk about the smart 20 & iStick like they're different devices?

For the same reason talk about the Chevy Tahoe and the GMC Yukon as if they're different.

I've been using the iStick since 8 Dec. I love it. I love the size, fits in my hand really well. Kinda stealthy. I like that it stands on its own without having to worry much about it tipping over. Battery life is great & provides enough power for the coils/tanks I'm using.

I showed it to a guy yesterday, he jumped on it & ordered one for himself.

I once had a Dodge Stratus & my friend, a Plymouth Breeze.
They were the exact same car which is my point. The smart 20 is an iStick.

I had a mid 80's Chev Nova, under the exterior it was a Toyota Corolla. Guess which one was cheaper to get parts for? If the parts guy couldn't find a part under the GM brand I would have him get me the Toyota part.

I've been vaping for about 7 months on the cheap eonsmoke pens (I never really enjoyed it and couldn't understand the hype). I recently got a real vapor as a gift from my dad who has been trying to get me to make the complete switch away from cigarettes. (Since it was so successful for him) I got the Eleaf iStick with the aspire Nautilus Mini on January 1st. WOW!!! What a difference. IM HOOKED. I totally get why people love it.

This is all so new to me and i really dont know all the lingo of the vaping world. I have so many questions that I don't even know where to start.

I got my unit from a 3rd party vendor. He changed the coil/atomizer inside for me to a DC 2.5 because he said that it would be better. Is that really better than the coil that came with the unit? What is the difference?

Also, When I change the wattage, I noticed that the volts in the bottom left corner of the screen change too. I thought you can only change one or the other, but not both. Can someone explain this to me?

I'm also noticing a slight 'rattlesnake' noise while vaping. Is there anything I can do to fix this.

I apologize if these questions have been asked and answered already. I tried reading through this thread but there are so many posts.

Thank you guys for your help. I really want to get the hang of it
