3. I started off at 20 watts, but it wasn't on a fresh coil or anything. I took the subtank off the aspire cf mod and put it on the istick. The aspire fires about 27- 30 watts on a fresh battery (this is what one of my reviewer friends figured up for me based on my batteries and coil, or how ever you do it), and I've never had a problem with it. So starting off at 20 watts shouldn't have cooked the cotton. Chatting with friend earlier, I was told it may not be wicking fast enough with the high vg I'm using, but it's been wicking fine for the past 2 weeks and that's all I ever ran in it. I don't know, I'm about to try the Atlantis on it and see what happens.

Robin, hubby won't let me get the MVP3. I've asked, and he said no.

Bella, you may want to post your problem in this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/variable-voltage-apv-discussion/637976-eleaf-istick-50w-coming-jan-25th-29.html or even this one: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/variable-voltage-apv-discussion/601111-eleaf-istick-1110.html.

In the first thread, someone posted a problem with firing more than two seconds--but that the firing cut off at that time. Since you report about a two second range, I wonder the two might be related in some way.... post and see what others might think.

Count, thank you for the suggestion! The Istick is fully charged so I can't try it that way yet, but I did try running different tanks at the settings I run my MVP at, because on the regular Istick I have to stay at the lowest settings on all of them or they burn. So I tried my nautilus and cranked it up to 11watts and it did just fine hitting it until it cut off. I took the MPT2's up to 4.1v which is about where I keep them on my MVP (but have to run them at 3v on reg. Istick) and they did just fine, and I took the Atlantis all the way up to 50watts and kept hitting it hard as I could and didn't get one dry hit or burning taste at all. On a side note..50watts is HOT. So, it must be something with the Subtank I'm thinking. I'm not sure why it would be different on the Istick than the CF Mod, but it's the only tank I'm having the issue with it seems.

1. Congrats Sir! Woohoo! :banana:

Thanks GMO for giving us our home for another week! :thumb:

Bella, sorry to hear that about your new 50W...I will tell you that the Subtank is notorious for not wanting to really go above 20W...the sweet spot for it seems to be between 15-20W...although I did get mine up to 25W on my iPV mini and it seemed to hit really nice there, but on my Hana, I only run it at 19W and that seems to be perfect for it...I've read the same thing from lots of others on it, so I'd say that the Subtank really prefers it under 20W.

Haha, yep, maybe even smoke signals!

Sorry Bella, hope you are able to find a solution. What had you been successfully using your subtank on before?

I've read that other places. So, why does the subtank come with warnings to use with a 30 watt or higher device?

:tumble:

I've been using it on the Aspire CF Mod.

Well, I don't know what's up with the thing, I told y'all I got the Atlantis up to 50 watts and ran it for a while like that trying to get dry hits and it didn't do anything. I've been using the Atlantis on it for a while at 30 watts without problems when all of a sudden I started getting dry hits on it. :facepalm: So now I'm just using the MPT2's on it to see if the problem pops up on those. I don't take big hits on those tanks though, you can't because the air flow is so tight, so I don't think I'll run into the same issues. I'm going to leave it alone for tonight and revisit messing with it tomorrow. I'm about ready to chuck it out the window.
