Istick 50w

[Landin1102]

I just bought an istick 50w and I'm curious if it's good quality. Does anyone know enough about these to help?

They are hit or miss. Mine is awesome and has been flawless, but there are many that have had problems.

However... eleaf has *supposedly* fixed these problems with the new batches of iS50's.

How can I tell if I have the new one or not? And I use an Atlantis v2 mega with a .5 coil with it and it reads at .7 ohm and sometimes jumps to .8. How do I fix that?

There really isn't a way to tell. You can try contacting Eleaf with the numbers on the box and they may be able to help you(fat chance of them actually helping), or you can just use it. I got mine back in march and it has been flawless. Several people have had the same experience. At the same time, several people have had serious issues with theirs. Even though I never had any issues with mine, I recently bought a Sigelei 150w to take over as my main device. I really just wanted something with more power available so I could go with bigger builds. I still use the istick pretty much any time i go fishing, though. I only charge it in a 50 cal ammo can with the lid just lowered down(not latched closed) on a concrete floor just in case it would vent. I wouldn't recommend charging it overnight. Also, when you are done with it, take the atomizer off it just in case it decides to start auto firing.

As for the resistance, the coil could just be reading a bit high. It isn't uncommon for coils to be a bit over what they state. Out of all the coils I have tried for my subtank mini(I only use the 0.5 ohm OCCs), they have all been 0.6 with the occasional 0.7. When the wire heats up, the resistance can fluctuate a tiny bit. As long as it isn't bouncing around more than 0.1 ohm, I wouldn't really worry too much about it. There really isnt a way to fix it. Your device could just be reading a little high, or the coils could just be a little high, or a mix of the two.

Sometimes it reads .8

Sometimes it reads .8

Its normal. It would be impossible for every factory made atomizer to read .5 ohms exactly.

OK Thanks. I'm glad I don't need to worry about it.

I have not used mine much but some are stating threads wearing out in the 510 connector. I leave the Ego/510 adapter in place even when using 510 tanks to reduce wear.

I've personally had great luck with the iStick, +1 to what Vapin Vera said!

I got my Istick50 from a ECF coop so I have no question about its authenticity. Its a great unit now being more than 6 months old and still going 3 days on the charge. Bought a silicone sleeve for it so I don't have to worry about dirty hands getting into the buttons. My wife hijacked it from me a couple months ago so she been constantly using it and almost likes it more than her provari.
