Eleaf Istick

[rks1949]

Look what arrived in the "vape mail" this morning! Now the fun begins!

My friend from Asia called them, she can get them a lot less than that....buying a few hundred.

I'm waiting for her to check out the company first.

Sounds like a co-op in the making

After using my Tug Boat RDA with a .3 coil build,and my regular Kanger (read Big) sub tank on this,I think it's gonna be a winner! The big sub tank is almost a large as the istick! But it's chucki'n out the vapor!

the istick 20 which is now 'dead' due to the no contact/threading issue - or whatever it's called. No adapter fixes it - pretty sure I'd have to exchange the threading internally to fix.

Excellent device here, really like it.. My bottom cap is pretty scratched up after its first day out... Also noticed the screen is loose too. Mostly above the buttons. It should hold for quite a while, then I'll just us this adhesive to stick it back on... But hey, with that said, I have no complaints at all...

Battery is still almost full after 12hrs yesterday.. Remember not only do you have twice the mah, but also half the load on each so essentially 4 times more than a single 18650.

After reading your post,I put some clear packing tape on the bottom of my istick.then I trimmed it with a exacto knife. I can see how the bottom would scratch easily! I hope eleaf comes out with a silicone case for the 50W istick

I've ran into an unusual behavior on my iStick 50W. I got it yesterday from a local vendor.

A short happend (well, I think it was a short) and it turned itself completely off. No warning about a short circuit. I thought that it was dead. After connecting it to a power supply through an USB cable it turned on and now it works fine.

Is it supposed to do that or do I have a faulty one?

This is a new one, DaFreek. It wouldn't surprise me if there is some kind of fail-safe protection like you describe. I wouldn't worry about it unless it happened again.

Phil Busardo's long-awaited review of the iStick 50W has landed. Interesting...

New info for us? 60ms delay to fire & 36ms ramp up to set voltage. That's less than a 1/10th of a second from button press to full voltage. Unnoticeable to me.

He likes it a lot...

AldenF-can you give us the "crib notes" version of Phil's review? I notice that it is 41 minutes in length and I don't want to devote 41 minutes right now to watching it. Maybe later! Busy and lazy right now!

crib notes:
he gave it a "big" thumbs up.
likes almost everything about it.
it doesnt do "mean"

I love Phil's videos and apperciate all he does for the us but; I really don't understand why he didn't do the 50w and the 30w at the same time. At least for the scope numbers. I'm, personally, much more interested in the 30w device and, until someone else I trust tests it, there will always be a question mark next to its performance.

Also, he didn't have any thumbs-down and had to dig for the kinda-thumbs-down he did mention. He initially called them a wish-list. IMO that review cements the 30w and 50w iSticks as the go-to devices for almost all levels of vaping. The term "game-changer" may be played out but for me the 30w has been just that. If they stick to incremental improvements instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with their next devices; we will be in for some real treats.

nothing that we really didn't know already, Jingles. Good voltage regulation, great battery life, solid feel, incredible performance per dollar/value. He measured a less than 1/10th second delay to full voltage. He didn't even notice it while vaping, just saw it on the oscope.

He really likes it... PBusardo seal of approval.

Why he didn't at least do a mini review of the 30W simultaneously is beyond me. I've had my 30W on a scope, as I've posted here, but I don't own a 50W (yet?). The 50W mimics what I found on my 30W entirely, within stated specs.

dead battery lock?

my istick 30, i vaped it dead last night, - it hit "power lock" when i went to fire it, then i went to fire it again and it completely shutoff. pressing buttons didnt light up the screen or show any info - plugged it in and it turned on normal and continues to work as described

If you watch the pbusardo video, the same thing happened to him when he was torture testing it. Basically, he simulated a short and it went dead on him. Wouldn't come back on until he plugged in the usb cable.

probable battery power way to low to turn on screen

Dang!
Good idea!
I should have done that.. I will now.!..

Why does it seem like some prefer the iStick 30w over the 50w?

Size would be my first guess!

Correct in my case.
