I like mine and has been working great. However if you get use to a setting right below dry hits and move to the leaf be ready to replace a few coils. This unit gives much more power at the same setting then any of my other mods. I try and remember to lower it about 1.5 watts lower then I use on my other devices.

You are really asking very tough question.
Imagine someone asking:
Should I buy vodka?
Should I buy whiskey?
Should I buy rum?
It can generate a lot of advices, and quite different ones.
I do not have eleaf nor nautilus mini, but I do believe it can be a good upgrade regarding your current setup.
Anyway, if I want whiskey, but just have vodka, I’d be still reasonably happy.

the answer to your hypothetical questions are ofc, YES!!!

Got on eofr the wife & sher is using it with both a PT2 & my AC9 gennie. She loves it so much she wanted another one which O have ordered.
She is anurse & works private duty on 12 hour shifts. It is also another 2 hours round trip to her work & this little PV lasts for the whole day.
Also is lasts her around 24 hours when not working & she chain vapes so it must be worth the money. I mean how much do AW IMR batteries cast & she uses 2 batteries in her Pro Vari when she uses it.


Just my 2 cents worth,

Had my istick a little over a week now. Love it. Was using an MVP & VV3. This thing has almost as much battery life as the MVP & more power, at a nice small size.

Use mine in voltage mode and just adjust to taste. The reading are off (uses avg, not RMS voltage), so I don't see a point to wattage mode.

Great with my Protanks & Igo-L RDA. Just have to stay higher resistance with the Kanger coils to stay at the lower wattage I like with them. Not a big fan of the Nautilus mini (could have been a bad pack of coils though). But I like rebuilding my Kanger coils anyway.

Check Avid Vapor and Indy Vapor - they have the full kits with adapter and charger, still under $40, in all colors...

Evape.us for 34.99 and lighting fast priority mail delivery (ordered Thursday in my hand Saturday). So happy!

I have one,,and I saw the discussions about the power on display with the charts and I have no Idea what they mean,,,It works when I hit the button, Lasts me almost 2 days on a charge, so in conclusion I say get one,, for the price its at least an inexpensive stepping stone,, oh yeah,, using it with kanger pro tank mini 3 & aerotank mega

I have to say I love the istick!! I does however have one major flaw!! The 510 connector, put a kayfun on to tight just once and not having all sorts of problems with the connection and ohms readings. I've seen this issue all over reviews. I have an easy fix for now, but can not wait for version 2 to have a spring loaded 510.

also having that problem,, whats the fix??

I have an iStick and primarily use a Beyond Vape Silo Lite tank with an Aspire BVC coil. The tank has a spring loaded pin so I don't have to worry about the iStick not having one. It also works great with my EVOD tanks.

I follow the main iStick thread and I have read every post. Even though the iStick used Vavg instead of Vrms, I can still adjust the iStick to achieve a good vape on all of my tanks. I would definitely purchase the iStick again. I get a solid two days charge out of it and it simply works for me!

I have had mine for several days now. Got it on the 15th. I have been using the daylights out of it and could not be happier. I have several more on order.

I have run it using two different Magma RDAs, a Kanger Aerotank IIv2, a Kanger PT2 and a Expromizer RTA. It ran all flawlessly. From 1.1 ohm in the Expro, 1.5 ohm in the Magmas and 2.2 Ohm in the Aerotank. Been moving between 9-12 watts. It is a real pleasure.

My mechs are feeling lonely.
