No problem on my threads, but I have to stay, you folks have succeeded in making me paranoid.
As soon as I can get an adapter on top, I'll use that, and if anything strips, it will be the adapter or tank, not the iStick.
been following this thread before I got my istick.. first thing I did was try the bending adapter, it's not for me... now using the included adapter and a 19.5mm thread cover - makes the Mow Mega kinda tall, but I'm not worrying about the threads!

I think the problem reported by Vape NW was that the threads were machined incorrectly so it wouldn't screw on at all . If you have a bad one you would know right away-- if it's threading ok then you're alright. There still hasn't been anyone report a problem on here so I don't think you need to worry.
This assumes you have a 30w--if it's 20w all bets are off! :)

It's too late - paranoia established. :)

In the very brief moments of vaping on my new iStick 30W from evape.us that I had before discovering that it was defective (either the chip was overheating or the temperature sensor was faulty; either way, the unit shuts off at 10W), I liked it. It wasn't different in any obvious way from the vaping experience with my iStick 20s, but I appreciated eLeaf's addition of a floating pin and stainless steel threads on the 510 connector and sub-ohm enabling. I couldn't tell if the extra 10 watts made a difference, since mine was defective and wouldn't fire above 10 watts.

I left a message through evape's contact page explaining the problem and requesting information about how to exchange it (RMA number? special mailing address?), but have heard nothing back from evape after two days, so I emailed them this morning. I hope they're just busy rather than not paying attention.

Dave from evape.us emailed me this afternoon with instructions about returning the defective iStick 30W for exchange, so all is well, except for three bucks in stamps and the fact that tomorrow is a postal holiday (MLKing national holiday). Patience is a virtue, right?

That she is, Bill.

Just wanted to say I got my iStick skin from eBay this weekend and applied it to my device. The skin is advertised for the 20 watt version but since the 20 and 30 watt look almost exactly identical, I figured it should fit pretty well for the most part. The dimensions for the 30 watt is slightly larger according to the Eleaf site. From my own eyes, they look exactly alike and I can't tell a difference. After applying the skin, it does look like there's a slight gap around the edges, so unless I messed up the application or the skin is actually slightly smaller, it does appear that the 30 watt is ever so slightly larger.

This bothers me slightly but I'll still keep it on. So for anyone looking to wrap theirs and buys a 20 watt version of the skin, it could have a little gap.

Very nice, Tmebs. Link to the drip tip, please?

funny this picture was posted 1 yr ago....and my drip tip is in the tray......I think they were 20-22$ and the picture does not do them justice. :toast:

I just did a little more looking around and I believe these came from Ghosted Glass.......looks like many shops appear to have the same looking tray that they are displayed in if your search for images for Ghosted Glass drip tips. Hope that helps...

I noticed the name. My Cousin has a B&M in Alabama named Mystik Vape. :)
