I wouldn't simply because I haven't heard of them.

This is the adapter that comes with the iSticks

Forgot to mention the new Innokin Disrupter as well. Pretty nice system that allows you to swap the batteries without the need for a charging station. It cost a little more, but down the road, when the battery needs to be replaced, you can just by a battery and not the whole unit. Or you can just buy an extra battery from the get go and have the ability to always have a charged one ready to go.

I started on socilites battery and tanks, was fine at first, then I moved to a kanger pro mini 3 tank, and a innokin vv4 itaste battery ive only had the battery a month and at 1st amazing, now the battery dies after 4 5 hours, b4 it lasted at least a day, yup I use it a fair bit and I really enjoy using it, but its getting frustrating, that the battery is no lasting as long, I don't know anything about mod batterys and if I do upgrade will I still b able to keep my kanger pro mini 3 tank on a mod battery? ill see what suggestions I get from leaving this thread. x


the batteries have a nominal life of 300 recharges.
they are not going to work like brand new for 300 recharges then suddenly fail.
they will just get weaker and weaker over time, lasting less and less time.

after a few months of vaping, it's time to get an 18650 replaceable battery mod.
an 18650 replaceable battery mod takes 18650 batteries (18mm diameter by 65mm length).
you will want a separate charger for charging your 18650 batteries.

when the 18650 battery runs down you just swap it out with another 18650 battery and continue vaping.

and keep your vv4 for backup

Any battery will decay with use, gradually becoming more unusable. Mods that you change batteries on make the replacements cheaper/easier, but cost more to start up. As far as internal batteries go, isticks are good (and can be opened up later but it isn't meant to be done, so isn't near as convenient, lol). As far as flavor on your tank goes, those stock coils can be fiddled with to get better vape. I like the method somebody posted somewhere here on ECF where you rewick with cotton and leave the ends long, wrap em around the outside/base of the coil assembly and forget the flavor wick...I get the best taste out of that way...but I don't use it much anymore, usually just do that on my mom's protanks :)

ok thanks, I have only had this vv4 itaste battery a month, so ide of thought it would of laster longer, its fine at home as can charge it, but runs out fast, ive been looking at A eLEAF, and also a itaste, im going to look in to them more b4 I buy,i am keen to keep my kanger pro min3 tanks, witch I can use on the mod batterys that have been recommended, I was about to buy a Eleaf this afternoon from amazon, but someone said I should buy from amazon and to use a vape vendor, witch I think will make more sence as this innokin barrety ive got I got from amazon, alltho I do really rate it, I think if I go into a shop ill have a better choice and advice , so ill see how I get on when I go to town,

Good question, I believe so probably, but may not want to re shipping cost. I remember seeing something on their site about free US shipping is why I say that. Idk really mate. I'll look around when I get home tho and let ya know if I find anything that looks promising :)

Just a word to the wise...any store will charge more than online. I'd play with what they've got, decide what you want, then take that brand name to either myvaporstore.com or eciggity to save some money :)
can I order from there as im in uk? I dunno if you read my message, but I stoped somking just over a year ago, and started on a pen like battery, I use innokin vv4 battery now with a kanger pro min3, so im still newish, so I don't want anything that will makeand pass out! but I need a good hit I think ive drained the life out of this battery..

cheers, can I order from my vape store tho as im in uk,
Many—not all—U.S. vendors ship to the UK. Check the Shipping section of their web sites to verify. ECF also has a very helpful UK forum, where you can get excellent advice about both shops and UK web sites for vape gear. I asked questions there before travelling to the East Midlands, and the people were knowledgeable and very helpful.

A gentleman from Wales posted in the GS Air Fan thread that he had purchased things from Sweet-vapes (U.S. web vendor) and they arrived promptly, and at a cost savings compared to UK sources.

The GS-Air, the GS-Air M, the GS-Air Ms and the GS-Tank are all clear tanks made by eleaf/ismoka. They are inexpensive, reliable (long coil life), and they don't leak or gurgle. Those who try them often prefer them to many of the better known Kanger and Aspire tanks.

Many of the GS-Air (all four varieties) users seem happy with the eleaf iStick 30w mod.
I have used that mod with all four GS tanks for a few months and like them. I just got a Heatvape Defender 50w mod with a replaceable battery. That, too, works well with these tanks.
