iStick 50 problems

[lamoglinsgal]

I've had the iStick 50 since February with zero issues. Until now. The past few days I've had an issue where I press the fire button and after releasing it, it continues to fire. It's not like the button itself is stuck. It does release fully. Today it happened, and the only way to get it to stop was by removing the tank. After doing so, the iStick was frozen. When the screen finally turned off, it wouldn't turn back on, reading no atomizer. I put the tank back on, tried to fire and it wouldn't actually fire, but the second counter continued to count after releasing the button. Then it read low power even though it has a full battery. then the screen was stuck off again. Now back on, but I'm pretty concerned about using it.

The tank I'm using, Atlantis V1 with the Segatank V2 RBA. I've been using this setup for over a month with no issues. There are no shorts in the RBA. It works fine on other devices. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm kind of worried about continuing to use the iStick, and I'm well past the 90-day warranty. :/

There have been several reported instances of iStick 50Ws auto-firing over the past couple of months. Unfortunately since you're past your 90 day warranty, the only thing you can really do is make sure you remove your atomizer whenever you leave your iStick unattended and also while charging it. I think it's probably time for you to start looking for a more reliable mod.

Thank you. I was able to dig up some other reports. What a shame to have it only last a few months. :/ I do have the IPV Mini 2, which works great, as well as a few lower wattage boxes. I was thinking of getting a Sigelei 150, so maybe this seals the deal.

I feel your pain. My iStick 50 didn't start auto-firing but it did die 6 days after my warranty was up.

I don't have a Sigelei 150, but I do have the 100 and absolutely love it. I've had it since January and (knock wood) haven't had a single problem with it. That said, if I had to make the choice on a 100W+ box mod today, I'd probably go with the IPV4 so I could experiment with temp control. Just food for thought.
