iStick 50 watt or a sx300 G sensor 50 watt box

[brianX]

I am looking to get a secondary (errr back up for my back up - cloupor mini - fingers crossed) mod so I don't need anything to pricey but wouldn't mind having a 50 watt device. I have a sig 100 for my go to right now.

I am looking at the istick 50 watt and this ----> $52.44 SX300 G-Sensor Variable Wattage APV Box Mod - 7-50W / 1*18650 / black at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

If it wasn't for the iStick's batteries being fixed i'd be all over it for that price. But I am also hesitant on the fasttech product from all the horror stories. Mind you this specific product has some promising reviews I think.

What do you think?

Suggestions, things to consider?

You won't go wrong with it. Check out the review on it.

Sx300 box mod video review: FastTech Forums

I just ordered one this weekend, and I have sig100+ and sig150 already.

Also you may want to try the vapor flask v3 with temp control. It just came out today so you may want to wait for the review. But its temperature control, if it does work as it intends to, is a real bargain for less than 70 bucks.

Btw, I used to hate ft but I learned to live with its slowness, but its customer service is pretty good and responsive and the return policy works out pretty good for me. Also the waiting game sometimes works out for me, I am impulsive to buy things right away, so while I was waiting for them to restock their items, I can cancel and get refunds any time after I read more comments from other ft posters. I did that many times, lol.

It's hard to say. Initial reviews and feedback look promising but, after the hana clone debacles of the last 7 months, I'm not really willing to be an early adaptor of off-brand Fasttech gear. I'd much rather pay an extra $15 to have an ipv mini v2 that goes to 70.

They are both nice mods, but I would consider this (the link below) I like being able to change batteries when I like. The Sigelei 50w V2 has corrected all of the problems that the V1 had.

Ended up purchasing ipv mini 2 - 70 watt. No issues other then my atlantis tanks won't fire on it for some reason. Any thing else I put on it fires flawlessly.

Good choice! I went with the Sigelei 50w v2 running the same board and it's killing it.

Lol, I ended up having both istick 50 and the G-sensor. They both work great. My istick's resistance reading is .1 ohm above what it actually is, but it doesn't bother me and other than that, it's a little handy device. G-sensor looks great and works flawlessly and I have no complaint at all, and I love it having the yihi chip.

I've seen some complaints about having to unscrew an access panel to get to the battery, but, weren't these mods designed to be on-board charged via the usb port and so changing the batt would be a once-every-six months type of deal?

bought the SX300 G-Sensor 35 watt from F.T. and it's been flawless!

I had two sx Zeros with the G sensor, and loved them. One spontaneously burst into flames sitting in my vape stand. I replaced it with a Sig 50W and an istick 50W.

Now, mind you, the other Zero is fine so far. It was my older one that went up in flames though. Since I don't know the cause I don't know if a component on the chip failed or if it was a wiring issue.
