Istick 100 or sigelei 75watt please help

[roxynoodle]

I go through 2 sets of batteries a day in my ipv4. I've been looking at the 100W iStink as a backup to my back up. Knowing that it's parallel now, I think it might be time to pull the trigger.

They seem to be getting better battery life than my Sigs. And they were $30. Since all my other isticks are still working, I said what the heck.

The parallel battery config will/should double the run time on a charge. It's the 10V thing that I'm still skeptical about. I don't know of any other mod that claims to more than double the battery output voltage. I've never had an eleaf product, so I'm not sure how good the internals are and I hear a lot of hit-and-miss with their other products. But yeah, for $30...

Well, I'm not going to say Eleaf is a quality manufacturer. But, year old istick 20W is still going. 3 istick 50Ws from Feb are still going. Year old Lemo is still going. I just was piffed another Lemo that was supposedly defective and its working fine. So I haven't had any issues myself. One istick 100W has very rattly buttons, and the other has slightly rattly ones. That's not a dealbreaker for me for $30 each.

Batteries are in parallel in the istick 100w.

I'd also like to know the batteries labeled at 3000mAh too.

LG HG2s. And in parallel you get the 6kmah with 2 3kmah batteries, right?

Yes, you'll get 6000mAh in the istick. I use 25r's in mine (so 5000mAh total) and it lasts for more than 2 days running between 22-30 watts, 0.5ohms about 3-5ml of eliquid per day.

I have to say for the price the istick is a great device. I like the slightly smaller form factor compared to my Sig 100W, the fact I can charge it through the micro USB if necessary (although I prefer to charge them on my D4) and the bright (but small) screen. The magnets holding the battery door are super solid and the device feels of a decent quality with overall good fit and finish.

Things I don't like so far are it is a little slippery to hold and I get a little button rattle from the adjustment buttons. Apart from that I would recommend it. This is my second iStick device and I've had no issues with either of them.

Or if you can hold out a week or two and add to the budget get the Sigelei TC 150, plenty of power, TC(if ya want it) and dual batteries

I've had an iStick 100 watt for about 3 weeks now and love it for the price. It has become my go to dripping device. Ordered 2 more in a co-op. I run mine at 50 watts and it lasts me a couple of days at least. The buttons do have some rattle to them but that never has bothered me in devices. Only time will tell how long the board will last but the buttons are very responsive and clicky. Myvaporstore has them for 35.95 as well as a lot of different batteries to choose from.

Oh, I should add that I do have one dislike. The display is very small, but still legible for my eyes.

I got my istick 100w. It's a nice mod. Been so used to the size of the 50w istick, this thing seems huge. Also I honestly can't stand the fire button location, it's on the opposite side in relation to the 50w, but I'm getting used to it. Been running my aromamizer at 70w and the battery life is great. Definitely a good buy.
