The tank is the GS Air tank and is just a 510 threaded tank so it can be used on any mod. It's just that it will sit on top rather than inside. The Istick Basic is history so if you want to be about to use your tank/coils you'll have to get a regular old 510 mod, so all in all your setup will be taller than you're used to. You will also have to set your own wattage. For a simple, small, lightweight mod with internal battery, I suggest the Istick 30W mod - has a good bit of life between charges. You have to get it from China. Will take 4-8 weeks for delivery since we are running into chinese new year. I would just buy one because after your first order the price will drop for almost all products, and that mod will be about $10 less. If you like it, then buy a few more on a second order. Eleaf iStick 30W Mod Battery
BTW the listing is wrong, it oes not come with the wall charger or USB cable, it's the mod only.

My guess is that it's a 18650 or very close. The Istick 20 and 30 have batteries that are a tad smaller than 18650. You'd have to open it to find out. The battery will have to be soldered in and that's not for everyone.

Your options are limited, actually non-existent, to get a mod like that where your tank sits inside. Well, there are side-by-side mods but those are for tanks that are 22-24mm wide and they aren't easy to find like they used to be. The mainstream vape market has moved to pods and disposables. Everything else has become a niche market to varying degrees.

If you don't want to use a regular mod where the tank sits on top at work, personally I'd say your best bet for a work setup is to jump into the future and get a pod system. Look into the Vaporesso XROS 4, XROS 4 mini or XROS 4 Nano ad stick withthe higher ohm coils. I just looked at videos of all 3 and all 3 have airflow control which i say is a must. The Nano has the biggest battery capacity. I think the only real diffreence between the regular and mini is that the mini is smaller in size a bit. It'll take getting used to. You might even end up liking it better. XROS is a very popular pod system so the replacement pods are about the most ubiquitous on the market so they are easy to find. Vaporesso has been making the XROS line for a long time now and every new version uses the same replacement pods, so that's nice. That's the way it should be.

As for the GS coils you'll just have to use them up by using the GS tank on a mod when you're not at work.

Good luck.

The Eleaf iStick 25W Pico Baby Kit is another option for you. It has an internal, 1050mAh battery, and the tank sits inside it, too. It's even smaller than the iStick Basics, for pocket carry. It comes with a GS Baby Tank that uses the GS Air coils, too! I haven't looked for any very recently, but I know I saw 2-3 vendors who still had some in stock within the last 6-8 months.

I'll do some searching to see if I can find them again. If not...I'll check my vape stash for some, because I'm pretty sure I still have a couple of them. I also had a stash of the iStick Basic Kits, and several replacement spare mods, so will see if I still have any extras of them.

For now...here's a link to Eleaf's website, so you can see the Pico Baby Kits and check out the specs for them.


Here's 1 vendor in California that has 1 Black iStick Pico Baby Kit left in stock.


The other vendor I'd seen them at, which was vapenear.com (Eleaf World's retail supplier as of awhile ago) had them on clearance for $14.99/kit, but they're out of stock now.

I bought a pico baby really a nice little unit you can still use the GS Tank because they have an adapter ring. Would still like an other Basic longer battery power and larger tank. Using it now Thanks for the info.

You're welcome for the info. I'm glad you like the little Pico Baby. I won't know for sure if I have any extras of them and/or any Basics, until I reorganize my huge vape stash. But, I'll let you know, if/when I find that I do have any to spare.
