Is it worth buying the eleaf istick?

I'm always a bit surprised to hear people refer to devices like the iTaste as "disposable". For the price of a cheap soldering iron and an Li batt you can get most MVP/sealed boxes running again. Of course this will invalidate any warranty you might have but if the box is dead and out of warranty then why not have a go?
As far as 510 connection goes, I use the adapter for it -avoiding all problems. They also have this new adapter out

Another cool thing out for the istick is this...

Seems I'm the only person who has one but went back to my mvp2,
My honest answer is yes, it's good, but it runs hot, I find it inconsistant, I ran mine on vw set to 8w and it was awesome.... Then it wasn't I had to turn it down, then up then down then I charged it and it was too much again, the mvp seems much more stable and consistent, I'd recommend it to people who like to vape at 11w+ but not to people who like a cool vape at 8w as it doesn't seem to regulate itself very well at lower power settings

I use both, my mvp2 is still a great mod. I like having at least 3 set ups ready with different flavors... 
Just quit smoking 2 months ago! Started off with a kit (2 Vision spinners and Aspire BDC). I felt changing batteries at least 3-4 times a day, and the vapor production was ok but needed something more. I bought the Nautilus mini (better but wanted more battery life), so I got the Istick. It's been great! 22 hours battery life plus nice taste. I saw the review about the volts/watts as well. I used the spinner at 3.8 volts and I just set the Istick to wattage mode and play with it. You can keep the 3.8 volts throughout around 7.2-8.0 watts. It's just a matter of your preference! Yes it's not quite accurate, but if you like your setting who cares! with the money saved from not smoking I'll buy a better mod later. This works awesome!
It is what it is and for the money it's hard to beat. Screw down the mini and leave it on the istick hold it upside down and unscrew the tank saves the 510 threads and keeps the flush look. Don't worry about it's power handling adjust to taste and be happy. I did a $10 repair on mine (details in the apv discussion) and it lives. Back to the igo l and a 1.1 build.
If you can find the iStick for $35 or less delivered, then why not? I accept the power thing. It doesn't outweigh the size or battery capacity.
I'm glad I got mine. It was a step up from the 2 twists I used for a year. (Halo Triton VV) (and still use!)
I've had mine since late September and there are no new issues. The threads aren't that good out of the box. And I get the phantom hit once or twice a day.

I use the istick and a full size nautilius. They make a nice pocket sized combo. Well worth the money!
I love mine, and I have been using it for about 3 days. From everything so far, go for it! I use Smoktech Tumblers with the adapter on top.
I have never liked the button placement on the mvp and I hardly use it. I tried the istick in a vape shop yesterday and ordered one last night. It probably won't be the last mod I buy but right now but it looks great and it very purse/pocketbook friendly. The new mvp 20w looks just like the old one fail... needs a side button.
It fully charges in just over an hour or there about. Very fast compared to my 18650s in the charger.
I am running mine with a Protank 3 with a cotton BVC 1.2 ohms and it is rocking!
