Is an istick worth it?

[GinnyTx]

Haven't touched anything else since I got mine over a month ago...

we've ordered one more for me...Ed's got two (had three one went flying off the motorcycle) and one for my daughter for an early Christmas present, because she snitched an MVP about a month ago and not touched her GUS since *lol*

yeah we love our iSticks...

I finally ordered a sugar skull wrap for one of mine..or i"ll get another to put the wrap on..worth it and then some.

not for the sub ohmer though..I had to change all my V2 coils to 1.0 ohm ones..but they're rocking the vape reliable and go ALL day on a charge..the "fiddle factor" is nill with them..so that's a LOVE LOVE it!

I purchased an MVP2 over the summer as an upgrade to my ego batteries. The device is worth it since it can handle an advertised 3.5 amps of current, the downside has to be the power output, but for the price I can't really complain. It fires my KFL great, and my RDA functions on it as well as long as I use a suitable resistance.

The istick looks like a great device for the size and the price, however if I look at both devices in terms of functionality I don't see a huge advantage. The 9 more watts has an edge on it, but that's assuming you stay within a resistance to gain all 9 watts. There are some other things this device can do better too, but I still think for the price it's a great purchase for a first vaper's choice.

Back to the point "is it worth it". Yes and no. If you don't have a regulated device and it will be your first purchase, or you're upgrading from ego batteries, I feel it's worth it 100%. If you have something similar already I feel it's not worth it. Devices are coming out like crazy left and right, it's only a matter of time before eleaf releases a newer and better revision of the istick, same goes for innokin (very excited for the MVP3). I can't really justify myself buying one since I already have the MVP2 and I can put that investment toward a device that stands in a different category, if I had money to throw around then maybe.

Vape gear is either going smaller or really big.

I, unlike many people, absolutely dislike "readouts" and leds. So provari, eleaf, sigelei zmax, etc. all annoying to me

I just ordered the joyetech eGrip, sorta mini sized like eleaf, also good to 20W, but no readouts. My other mod is a metal REO....no readouts.

Everyone has preferences. I chose the egrip over the eleaf because everythiing is self-contained, i.e. there are no delivery devices, clearos, etc. sticking up off the unit, everything is inside, similar to the Billet Box concept.

But no, you can't put your nautilus on it, etc. so if you have an investment already in clearos, best stick with the eleaf. It's a neat device though for sure, just not for me.

Is it worth it? Sure thing.....I think the eleaf is very well priced for what you get.

Getting mum into vaping well she has been doing it for some months now and she's a tad picky and such still likes her ce4 clearos and her small ego-t 1100 batteries. Didn't like my nautilus 5ml or ce5 clearos or 1600mah vv batteries.

Got my istick delivered today and showed it to her and 2 minutes later she bought it from me.
My hana mod clone was also considered too big and didn't feel as nice to her.

I upgraded to my iStick from a Vision Spinner and I love it! It's been 2 days since I charged it now, it is nice and sturdy and fits in my hand perfectly and sets on a counter or table nicely without tipping or rolling. And I can use a variety of styles of tanks on it because it is so adjustable. Definitely worth it!

 

[dashreeve]

I got mine today and really love it. Yes, if you can find them for 35-40 I say worth it. I'm only running it at 10.0w with Nautilus mini and 100% VG, great smooth vapor.

 

[jdm1982]

bought 2 silvers.they came today.burned up 2 coils on 14 watts, turned it down to 10 no probs since.the device is very small.i really like the looks of it paired with the mini nautilis and even my full size hallowed out steel nautilis. would recommed.will give away my vv3 and retire my mvp to just being a back up charger for the car.

bang for the buck its tough to beat from what i see.

 

[burnie71]

Bang for buck sure thing, coupled with Nautilus its a great trouble free device.
Just be a bit careful with the way you hold it in public though, it tends to look like a mini pistol with silencer as a local cop observed

 

[Kenneth38]

It's double thread, I guess? Anyway, this is the hottest model for the time being, my suggestion is that you go for it.

I LOVE my Istick. I own two of them since I chain vape. 2 lasts me all day.

I cannot WAIT for the Istick V2 and MVP3.0. I want a dang spring loaded 510 connection dang it! I'm tired of fiddling with the stock 510 connection with a flat tip on these batteries.

For $60 shipped for 2 istick though, I can't complain. I retired my MVP 2.0 and itaste VV for it. Use it at 17.1 watts on an eleaf Lemo. Fantastic vape

 

[e-pipeman]

Just ordered one, so can't say whether it's "worth it" yet or not. I'll let you know how I get on with it (also ordered a Nautilus Mini - it's all-change today!)

 

[mndh1007]

Yes I've had mine 4 a week... My only dislike is the fire buttons really crappy and hoping it lasts as long as my MVP... Way nicer in terms of carrying around and power though and you can charge it with your cell phone charger

I put off buying the iStick, although I knew I'd eventually buy one for the stealth value. Most of the places that advertised them were constantly out of stock. I didn't want to take a chance on an Ebay vendor and get ripped off.

I was in the local B&M and they had two left. These were the kits with the charger included, not that I needed a charger. I bought the kit for $49.99 because it was in stock and that benefited the vendor, who is a good friend that will swap out hardware cheerfully for any sort of problem.

I like it and I'm using it more than the Provari these days. I don't have to carry an extra battery when I go out for the day. USB is all over our vehicles and the pass through feature is great for driving.

 

[jdm1982]

had it abit over a week.great little vaperizer. havnt touched my mvp since.and i loved my mvp.

i think it looks pretty nice with the nautilis mini steel.

 

[Davey59]

Tried one in the B&M last week. Have to say I am impressed. They even had me take the Mega off my mod to try out on the Istick. Form, feel, power, size, very nice. If I was not swimming in regulated mods already I would have bought it on the spot, even at their inflated price point. Wish it had come out a bit sooner.

I may buy it anyways, we all know I am weak that way

 

[jdm1982]

soon as i bought my nautilis's, aspire comes out with the atlantis and a sub ohm mod.first day i read about it i just got my 2 eleafs in the mail.

i am putting my foot down.no more 'wasting' money on vape gear till atleast after xmass.no need by.

 

[Krashman Von Stinkputin]

Yup.........

 

[cocacola31173]

Im saving my money for Black Friday. I was going to get the Istick but was worried about the threads being bad on them. I lost 2 Vamos due to stripped threads. Now with my Mvp I have used it for over a year and the threads are still great.

 

[jdm1982]

i was and could be 100 percent happy with my mvp also.i didn't 'need' an istick , but the shiney itis is just brutal on me.total sucker haha.

that being said, my mvp works flawless still, but i havnt taken it with me in over a week so...

 

[Smokin' Iron]

eleaf istick + nautilus mini = one great bang for the buck.
