You're on my watch list, shackness. ;) Trying to corrupt and enable me, hmpff.

I truly don't desire the 50w, but that 30 is looking awfully sweet. Now, what color..... hmmmmmm...... do those come in GOLD?







alden, I know whatcha mean. I need the 30w like I need another box of kartos. :blink: Hellsbells I need to SELL mods, not buy them! :D

What's your ONE mini mod...... just the 'Stick?

And hey.... you are one kool cat in my book, kiddo, so with that said, , ,



Thank you, Katdarling!

My one mini mod is the 20W iStick, after which few will ever attain mini status. The 30W iStick looks to be very promising. Assuming Eleaf got it together, one can only question the life of the battery, though replacing it with a standard 18650 is a fairly simple task.

Having a Cloupor DNA Hana clone, I truly question the need for the 50watter. The Cloupor is barely larger but runs on an 18650. With a DNA 40 installed, I should have all of my bases covered. I simply want the 30W iStick. As I behaved and refrained from surrounding myself with original iSticks, I think I will treat myself. ;)

We will see our battery options expanded upon this year. With the advent of all these 30 - 50W APVs, they will need to be powered. One can already find 2000 - 2600mAh LiPo 18650s in China. I certainly know not of their quality. But assuming that they're reasonable, a 2600mAh 18650 LiPo would be very welcome for those who seek to vape between 30 & 50W. Those at 100W or more will have to suffer swapping batteries throughout the day.

Don't get me wrong. My VAMO v3, VAMO v5 box mod and VTR are stalwart companions. I do not long for a decent vape. But the brilliance of the iStick's form-factor is not something I expected to experience; nor something I wish to vape without.

Hey guys I just got my istick in a couple days ago. First time I plugged it in it charged fine. Now it's not charging at all. Anyone have this issue and know a fix?

Similar occurrences have been reported...

Try vaping your iStick until it won't fire any longer. Turn it off (5 clicks in 2 sec) and then plug it in. You should see a large, animated, segmented battery appear on the screen. It will turn off completely when charged. This is how i charge my iStick every night. Let us know if you continue having problems.

Good luck!

I'm still here on ECF... sort of. ;)

Ohhhh do I understand that one. I saw the 'Stick O (as in Original) and thought, "oh yeah.... have to have that". Did I NEED 5 more of them? Yeah/no. I did not!

Like you, I'm surrounded by what I consider some top notch gear, and had zero need of more devices. But for whatever reason, this little 'Stick wormed its way into my heart, and my hands. I find it absolutely crazy that this has happened. So looking at the 'Stick 30 makes me think I will be spending my B-day in a padded room. Sure hope vaping is allowed...

Just ordered my 30W in blue from Evape.US. I opted for the priority shipping, that brought the total to the retail price of $39.99.

Cheaper than my IPV Mini, and smaller, lighter but still able to fire my Orchid tanks.

I plan on ordering a 50W later in the month as well. Eleaf has won me over, and I am pleased with their products. Life is good.

Well my istick has been holding up just fine, even survived it's first fall with my full nautilus attached and no damage.

Now onto a different problem. I tried contacting fat daddy vapes a week ago about exchanging my v3 510 and washer for the v4 version and i haven't heard anything back. Is it better to just call them or?

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the response!

Sorry if that was already answered in this thread, too.

    OK. So I hear that the new 50 will have a flat DC output like the Provari! :) I hope that proves to be fact

    Well, since Provape won't sell a box mod....

    I'm hoping they keep the Mean setting myself. The Innokin's vape like the Provari and I prefer the Istick to them. Maybe they'll keep some Mean- call them "Classic" @CocaCola.
     
    Any discount available? Like new member

    That is a discount since many places want $24 or higher. They were $23.99 at 101vape when I ordered the two I have here. That was the lowest at the start of December as I recall.

    As for considering another iStick at some point now I would likely grab the 50w sometime later That would allow using an Atlantis while on the go as an option over the Nautilus mini or carrying one of the larger mods around.

    Well I am glad I ordered a 30w more so now. I still want a 50, I think. Why do you prefer the istick's vape?

    I'm not entirely sure. I've vaped two handed with it and my Innokin and it stood out. Could be my topper and eliquid.

    Up until I got this, I simply vaped when I wanted a nic fix. Now I pick it up because of a desire for more. Sorta like when you have a great tasting eliquid that you can't stop vaping and overnic yourself.

    I have confirmed through eLeaf that the 30W and 50W are RMS with DC (for the higher wattage experience)

    All pv's are DC unless someone has an AC output with an inverter in it.:) The 50 is reported to sub ohm down to .2. I guess they have dropped the pulsed output and goin with a flat output like everyone else. I may just do the 30 I have ordered and wait on reviews of the 50.

    I really hope this is true! It appears eLeaf looked at all the complaints, and addressed each and every one of them! If so, they have really raised the bar for the budget, high performance mod!
