Nice! I ordered on Wesnesday and got mine Saturday as well. This silver one is slippery compared to my black one.


I appreciate the button placement over my MVP2. Fits in my pants pocket nicely and my nautilus doesn't stick out like a.... well.. It doesn't stick out.

IMO, the iStick is definitely something to own. The size in amazing, great battery life, and quite powerful, and cheap! I LOVE mine. The controversy about it doesn't effects most peoples actual vape experience (unless you want to vape at a true 3volts), its just that it hits/feels about a volt hotter than it displays.
People were just trying to figure out why it was like that, and why the company would choose to do it the way they did, but its much loved and an awesome device regardless.

Got mine in the mail yesterday. It's fantastic. Even though I knew it was going to be small, the size is smaller than expected. Feels like a heavy-duty bic lighter in hand. Nautilus mini on it is also incredible. I want another :) Got the silver and it looks great with the topper I got.

First time with a PV that isn't a cigalike, and I'd recommend it for other beginners!

I just got mine in the mail. It actually came yesterday, but nobody got the mail, so it's been sitting out there unloved and lonely all night :(

What kind of vaper am I to not be stalking the mailman?!?

Anyway, so far it's great! So tiny. Like someone said above, I knew it was going to be small, but it's soooo small. The controls are easy. The button is nice. The blue color is intense and very pretty. My Kayfun looks kind of silly on it, but I will find something... A+ so far! especially for the price.

I got mine yesterday and charged them up. I have used one with a Kanger PT2 with AFC @ 1.7 ohms and only have used the wattage settings (my preference). With these using mean instead of rms and at low wattage they run a little higher. On an RMS PV I am normally running 7.5W but on my stick I run them at 6W.

At the lower wattage there is a 1 ohm difference and that's exactly what PB stated in his review of the IStick.

So far I really like it but because of it's size I sometimes change the wattage without knowing I've hit the button. I wish there was a way to lock your settings Battery life has been good. Vaping it for the second day and I've only used about 20% of the battery life.

Got mine in yesterday as well and LOVING it. Paired with a Nautilus Mini and it feels fantastic in my hand. Love the weight. Also like using the variable wattage option as opposed to the variable voltage just because you can fine tune to your taste a little more.

I purchased mine from Smoke Evolution for less than $40 and can't say enough great things about this company. I erroneously put in the wrong shipping address and the owner emailed me back with the correction in just a few hours. I would definitely recommend everyone purchase from these guys.

Just received mine in the mail today. It's a perfect little pocket vapor. Works perfectly with a Nautilas mini on 4.7 watts/ 3.0 volts (with just the slightest overhang). Feels great in the hand. Has a solid heft to it. Was cheap ($35). Gonna start using it as my stealth vapor instead of my Coolfire 1, or Provari Mini. Very happy with it.

I have probably 15-20 APV's, but always love a new one. Especially if it's a different design. And this one qualifies. Could care less if the voltage/watts are accurate or not. Just set it for whatever works and forget about it.

best regards, larry mac

Get the leaf , I've got 2 and like them so much I'm thinking of selling off my 7 sigelei's my chargers , my MVP , and way too many Panasonic 18650s .........longevity is a wild card but I've been through 3 vamos, a SVD , a dozen egos and that's just in my recent memory .......everything is disposable ( exception being aprovari or rheo )...... my 2 cents psPS im currently liking the kanger genitank as a topper

Haha shoulda saved some cash and bought a Provari.

As 9 pages of other people have told you...get it. Nautilus mini and IStick seem to be the preferred setup. Had mine about a week and haven't out it down. My mini is also on the way. Currently I'm using it with a Kanger Mega, which I drilled another air hole in, as I like a looser draw than the largest setting.

This thing is worth ever penny. I own the SVD, vv3, Iclik 1400 mah, magneto, and prob some others im not thinkimg of. This is my traveling mod and couldn't be happier...apparently I'm always traveling as I still haven't put it down!

one complaint from people Is that it takes too long to go from lowest wattage setting to highest. They obviously haven't played with it much, because once you put it in auto advance, one click of arrow in same direction gets it to skip by .2 watts, one more click and it jumps by .5 watts.

Yes I do. Its not bad for the money. I was just pointing out its not a good main go to mod for me based on the quality which isn't the worst but definitely not the best. My main beef is the 510, it just isn't going to last by my observations. All and all you get what you pay for though. Good budget device for sure. God bless!

I purchased an istick today, before seeing that video review... does the review matter? not to me. Battery does what I need it to. Good tech info about how it works/or doesn't work though.

The packaging mine came in was different than in that review and mine came with a charging cable and wall adapter in the box.
