Got my iStick and OMG!

[Archer74]

Been vaping since 2009 and have been basically using a KR808D1 model/variant all this time. A 30ml bottle and 2-3 cartomizers lasts me a month(28days at least). I love my gear, perfect balance of throat hit and vapor for me -- I was content. I get my fav 3 flavors and 2 boxes of cartos and I'm set for the next 3months

Now I just got my new gear, a blue iStick and an rda, made my 1st coil with 28g @ 1.9Ω and dripped the same ejuice I was using for my old setup and fired her up....WOW!!! Massive throat hit and vapor but too much air on the draw! A little too much for me so I dialed her down and used the smallest air intake on the RDA . Did this a few more times till I hit her minimum setting and yet still way better than my old! But still too airy for me... Even with my coil lag I can only take 3-4 sec lung draws, 2sec mouth-lung and I'm full - air vent still too big than what im used to.

But then, I felt dizzy then a hint of nausea hit me and felt cold... Thought it was me hyperventilating since I'm a mouth-lung vaper. But I just realized I've always ordered 36mg of ejiuce! My coil is vaporizing more nicotine than I'm used to 8-o!!! Took 1ml of my 36mg juice and diluted to 2ml of 18mg. Throat hit still a little too strong than what I'm used to so I think I can go lower. Silver lining to what might have been a bad situation I can stretch my juice even longer!

I'm loving my little powerhouse of vaping heaven! I named her "Lynae" - little blue flower

I've had an iStick since Friday and it's pretty slick. It's now replaced my Provari mini as my preferred stealth vape for work.

I have two iSticks, one I have currently sent back to the supplier because after 2 weeks use the 510 head seems to be stripped, waiting for them to get back to me, the other is still fine.

I don;t drip but using kanger style clearomisers with own build vertical coils I am getting a really great vape and loving it. I hope the threads hold out on this one !!

I have ordered some smok 510 air flow rings that I will put in to the iStick's when they arrive and leave them in so I don;t damage the threads any further.

I have two now..as of three days (and two weeks) ago...and that's it...the others are all collecting dust.

Ed didn't think he'd be using his..he just left for work..iStick in his pocket

and why do you think I have 6mg liquids for chain vaping?

enjoy Lynae

Not trying to HJ the thread. I really enjoy my istick with mini nautilus tank, was curious how you rebuilt you BVC's. $15 for 5 heads seams kinda steep. I have an rda and a kayfun on the way, so may be mute point.

No problems with my threads yet, but I can see the risk.

Looks fantastic! I just pulled it up and was checking it out... I got to get me one of those.

Welcome to the club! I must say iStick set the new standard for portable sized box mod; I would like to see other vendors put our some similar sized mods in the near future.

 

[Spazmelda]

I just got my istick last week, and I'm loving it! My other mod is a provari, and this thing holds it's own against it. Can't say anything about the durability/longevity, but I got it for $34 so...

Yeah, 36 in an RDA, whew!! That would knock my socks off.

 

[roxynoodle]

6mg max in an rda . Have fun with your new shinies . Istick is a great value.

 

[Ren76]

Yup it's pretty darn good, try it with a nauti mini if have the need for a tank, that combo seems to work well for a lot of us.

Evape.us is a great source for Aspire tanks and coils. The Nautilus BVC coils are @9.95 a 5-pack and free ship with $25 order.

 

[Buster282]

Yep, I found Nautilus BVC coils on ebay for under $19 for 2 packs, free ship. Gotta luv the iStick!

Yeah, she kicked me like a stallion on steroids! And the flavor! Oh man, tasted like I just got mouthful of candy(milk chocolate macadamia Nobacco juice). With my old gear(kr808d1 cart) I never thought the actual flavor is this good! Even after I diluted it in half the flavor is still awesome! Been vaping all day and the batt icon shows I've only used a third of the charge.

Is there more than one istick? Pictures please.

best regards, larry mac

I don't use the aspire BVC as I use Kanger tanks. I have just posted a sort of tutorial on how I have rebuilt the new enclosed kanger heads to a vertical coil which would be similar to the aspire BVC

Also riptripper as a you tube review on actually rebuilding the aspire BVC which is worth a look at just google it not hard to find.
