istick hacks?

[BigChillin]

Hey guys and gals. Still can't post in the APV forum so I'll ask here. Are there any software or relatively easy hardware hacks we can do with this? I skimmed the istick thread and couldn't easily find anything. Is there a list? Thank you and sorry for posting this here.

Why would you want to hack it? Just curious.

Just small things like a puff counter or the fact that the ego adapter has severely restricted airflow for my EMOW.

PBusardo took an istick apart in his review if you are interested. Starts at about 17:00

No easy ones. Ego threaded tanks do not typically have the most open of airflow.

I just bought a friend an iStick along with an Aspire Nautilus Mini for her to get started on vaping. As of today she is 10 days in.

I do have an iStick, and oddly enough I use it with my Orchid V4 when I build that above 1.0 ohms. 20 watts is a bit of a cool vape, but that the iStick can run a rebuildable is a cool thing.

Why do you want a puff counter? It will either give you permission to vape more or worry you that you vape too much, keeping track of your juice intake is more accurate anyway because not all puffs are the same.

Juice intake only works when using the exact same tank with the exact same coil. Even just switching out coils of the same measured resistance in the same device can cause some difference in liquid vaped. Plus changing the wattage will change the juice vaped.

I'm not bothered either way. I just think it's a cool feature, and I think this cool battery needs more coolness. Maybe even LED animations.

But why do you care?

Could be they are trying to reduce their nicotine consumption, or at least get a more accurate handle on how much they actually consumed?

Perhaps before quitting analogs they counted their puffs per cigarette and are using that as a basis for vape to analog comparison?

All ideas tonight are brought to you by sleeping pills!

I know that an analog lasts me 6.5 minutes. I never cared how many drags I got from 1 or from 1 pack. The last time I saw the counter on my itaste it said 711. Let it go.

I can't decide if being to make phone calls with a muse or having a puff counter on any other mod is a more useless feature. No it's the puff counter, my itaste says 0 and I know I have clocked it before but I have never actually looked at it and went I had 64 puffs today, because I really can't see what that tells me. When I smoked I could finish a ... in 4-5 puffs if I really needed one and other times no idea how many I had, with vaping it is a bit more consistent because I don't usually get bad craving but I still have longer draws with tastier juices so juice A might do 20 puffs per ml while juice B get 50.

Why don't you get a mod with a puff counter?

Because I've only had this one for about a month and not everybody has the money to buy new stuff all the time.
