Speaking of kayfun Mini, mine have been relegated to the storage shelf since I got this, not the most elegant looking, but wow, sure vapes nicely, I've chained it up to 30 watts on the istick, wicking has kept up fantastically, flavor is right up with my best, vapor production is outragous, @ 20 it is sweet, and smooth!

Just remember when your working threads like that it will cut whatever is softer, that could be the atomizer, might be a good idea to use something other then your favorite atomizer to chase them.
Or just go to the hardware store and get a cheap Grade 8- 7mm x .5mm bolt and use it. You may have to file the end flatter to make it act more like a bottom tap
I have a lot of experience at this practice and if you haven't done it, don't try it. Just use the bolt as is without filin it cause you can easily screw it's threads up and in turn ruin your connector............... (wait for aldenf)

Quality is not the most solid, best built, or biggest, or most durable nor the highest priced. If it was we would still be drivin cars like they were built in the 50's. Japan proved that. Quality is conformance to the requirements of the customer. Therefore an istick 30 with a rattling button for $35 is of higher quality than an equivalent mod with a solid button for $80.:)

I had a cheap silicone cover on my ipod touch once. It attacted lint like crazy. I assume this one would do the same? Depends on if it's hard silicone or soft I think.

I meant the MVP3 not being out, as in not being available just yet. Not available yet (even for the privileged ones who get to do initial testing) means that no one can review it yet. I originally saw the photos and specs on it at pbusardo's (the hated one apparently) web site. I could have sworn I read somewhere that Innokin gave him one during his trip to China like 2 weeks ago. I guess he hasn't had time to review it yet since he's been testing and reviewing the cloupor and ipv mini's.

I was not fond of the MVP2's firing button. Not necessarily the placement, but the stiffness of the button press (that pbusardo pointed out). But apparently they fixed that on the MVP 20w, that will likely carry over to the MVP3. I kid you not, my thumb started to hurt after a while and I had to switch hands and thumb placement to alleviate the pain.

I figured it would retail for around 70 bucks, which is 200% of the price of the iStick 20w. So you can't really compare at this price point.

That's the last I will mention the MVP3, because since I have my istick 20w, I will likely never consider getting the MVP3. I would still be interested in seeing a review video though, just to see the upgrade that's been 2 years in the making.

I put a Vivi Nova BDC with a BVC in it on my 30 and I have to say it performs pretty good for a $6 tank. I didn't use the BDC that came with it and the first BVC I put in it would flood and gurgle. I swapped it with another one and works fine. Freedom Smokes gets 2 thumbs up for shippin and trackin. They even sent me a pm the day it went out for delivery and sent another when it was delivered. I like that.

Forgive my ignorance, cc, what is this?

My first No Atomizer Experience: boo

I was looking for non metal tips for my Eleaf GS Air Tank. Which, BTW, I think is a Great value.
I eventually decided I wanted to go with plastic whistle type tips. I saw that Eleaf's BCC-GT tank had such a tip, and it was so inexpensive at evape.us, that I decided to get that tip by ordering that tank.

Tank came in - once again, in record time by evape.us. They are the Best. The tank itself - the verdict is out. I slapped an adapter on the tank, screwed it onto the iStick, and I'm splitting time between brief vapes and - the dreaded No Atomizer message. N.G. For now, the tip is off that tank, and on my reliable GS Air.

To be continued.

Hmm. A connector that is bad? I happened to have 2 ego/510 connectors. I took off the first, put on the second, and the stick sees the atomizer fine. Still, the BCC-GT is nothing to get too excited about. Back to my amazing GS Air.
