I love mine BUT improvement do need to be made. They all seem to run hot while displaying a much lower voltage, and the voltage can change while the reading stays the same. Ive put various atomizers on it and mine cannot accurately read and display ohms correctly, it changes contantly. Basically the computer on board is way off. I can get a great vape out of it, so that's not the issue, can adjust to taste but some accuracy would be a must for V2.

So, not sure how to vote on this one...

Love mine.

I wouldn't change anything. Fits my style of vaping(10-13 watts) perfectly. I do think it runs hot but I iust bump the watts down a bit. If I was to change something it would be an adjustable pin bit as is all my tanks fit flush but it would be nice insurance that the pin doesn't get pushed in too far. My Aerotank mega didn't when I first got it but it does now... Could have been I didn't thread it all the way that day. No problems with anything not making contact.

I have had the button "problem" but only a couple times when I first had it. Haven't had it happen in a couple days now. For the price and form factor (for me) you can't beat it.

...... with a 'Stick. (ba DUM bum)



Are any of you monkey-see, monkey-do vapers like I am? Any thread mentioning the iSchtick and I just HAVE to vape it while I'm reading the posts!

Lovin' this little thang! What a great device!

I'm fully satisfied with my istick but that doesn't mean it can't be improved.

1) Power adjustment. It adjusts the power level just fine. I think it's the output that has everyone's panties in a bunch. It hasn't been an issue for me with coils from 1.4 to 2.0 ohms.

2) Don't like the connector - I assume you mean the 510 connector? It's fine. I haven't had any issues at all.

3) Don't like the menu options - A locking function for the power adjustment would be nice.

4) Don't like the connector placement - In a package this small, there's nowhere else to place it w/o making it bigger. It's not an issue for me.

5) Don't like the battery - I would love to have a replaceable battery. I don't think it would increase the size of the case too much.

I second that

I need to update.

I've had my Istick for 2 weeks now and the 510 pin does get pushed down a bit. The only problem is with my KF 3.1 clone but it's been an issue with all my other mods, including my MVP2. The solution for me is to use a pick and lift it up a bit every once in a while when I swap between the KF 3.1 and any other tank.

Otherwise, it's been a really, really great experience. I've decided to get a DNA 40 device and settled on getting the VS rDNA 40 when it's released but I might pick up another Istick for a backup. At $30-$40, it's so worth getting. If you're worried whether it will work with your atty's, yes it will. I haven't noticed any rattlesnaking at all with any topper I have (KF's, Aerotanks, PT3 mini and a dripper).

I know PBusardo gave it a thumbs down but I heard he took it on his vacation this week so it must not suck that bad.

I really like mine so far. I will say that the power issue should be addressed (something that would be super cool is a "update" when hooked to a computer. Kinda like a cell phone update. It would be neat to fix the power issue.) Another thing is the stupid puff counter. I mean its kinda neat but would much rather have a puff counter in the form of how many puffs I have taken not how long I have puffed for.

Same behavior here, hate the damn thing my eGo-Ts are better. :(

I found somewhat of a work around to keep the voltage from getting too out of hand....don't charge it completely. I found that the iStick works better for me if I only charge until the next to last bar is full, which is somewhere near 80% capacity. Also, I only use my dual coil Kanger clearos (EVOD 2) on it. Those don't seem to scorch as easily.

Thanks, I'll try that! Running a 3 ohm coil help mine, I usually start at 3.2 watts and bump it to 8+ watts as the battery discharges. It's not consistent though, mine is an iStick(it to you) mod. :D
