Unfortunately, a lot of the Chinese manufacturers offer a warranty, but only to the parties directly buying from them. Any third party vendor purchases (a vape shop, who bought from a wholesaler, who bought from the manufacturer), and you're going to lose the manufacturer's warranty. We found this out the hard way when Vision's Spinner 2's hit the shelves. They have a prominent "1 year warranty" slapped on the side of their box. When our 30 day in-store warranty ended, the customers tried to contact the email address and website listed on the box, and were promptly given the run-around. "The warranty is only valid if you bought it directly from us."
Who the blank buys directly from the Chinese manufacturers? Not your average American Joe Vaper. So manufacturer's warranties are a great big steaming pile of lies.
Your store probably has a specific x-day warranty. The reason why they are certain days is because the shop owners have a window of opportunity to send it back to get a refund. Anything past that date and they take a loss. May sound crappy, but it is what it is.
EDIT: As far as Chinese stuff goes, they don't really have to put a warranty on it if they don't want to. Their way of doing business is so alien to ours (Western business) that it can be kinda mind-boggling. Chinese mods... if it breaks, they don't offer a real warranty, because they expect you to buy a new one, not repair it.

Yes the shop has a 30 day warranty and it lasted a whopping 36 days. And yes my phone is the dumbest smartphone
I've read this whole thread and personally, I'd err to the cautious side if I had an iStick 50. I don't personally have a 50w but I do have a 30w. I know the 30 hasn't had the same issues, or at least we don't know of them yet, but it is a cheap device. I'll keep the 30 in my rotation, but it's not going to be used in situations where it can get dropped or mishandled, just to be safe.
As far as recommending any device, I'd feel like I was doing a disservice if I recommended a device that I'd never used. I have no problem recommending the MVPs or iTaste VV as I have both of them and have used them for quite some time.

Sigeli is still going strong.
i got my istick late , I dropped it mutliple times , still no problems , istick 50w is better than any other mod on the market right now , size , shape , look , everything , those IPV and MVP or however they are called look like **** and are too big
This is why I want vaping hardware capable of over X watts to be certified by UL as safe. But no one wants regulation and this is what no regulations is. suck it up or support reasonable regulations.
I like your thinking Chuck. I know people who have had both and they're solid mods. Some of them have been going for more than a year.
That would be a thought, if there wasn't a thousand problems with chargers, shorts and faulty mechanicals. Every battery has something that is always unsafe, no matter what battery you are dealing with. Even the safest IMR can be used improperly or be put on a bad charger.
And there's the dead horse again lol. If it didn't have the problems it does, I'd recommend it. I can't in good conscious recommend something that has had so many potentially dangerous issues.
I had meant to be replying to a specific person but I guess I mashed the wrong button and by the time I posted there were other posts I was busy with
you cant compare MVP 2 with an istick 50w , not to mention , MVP look like an alarm clock when you turn them horizontally :

I don't care if my mod looks like a clock humping a toaster if it works properly. That would be better than my Istick that looks and performs like a paperweight
