I bought one two months ago and quit smoking that day after 48 years.
imho they are the best single device for getting off of cigs.
I have been off of cigs for well over a year and still enjoy the pocket-ability and vape on the .75 coils. And I get over a month on a coil.
And they can be rebuilt.

Yeah, I was tempted to pull the trigger on those $9.99 iJust. Just didn't need it. Yeah you need a couple quality replaceable batt mods in your stash. That's why I grabbed a couple Sigelei Zmax for $9.99 shipped. Already had won an e-Huge 26650. If Joye would bring out something like a low power Pico 18350 I'd be all over it.
Doesn't Vamo? have a 25 watt 18350 mod?

Haha. I got one of those $9.99 Zmax, too. Also jumped on a $29.99 Provari 2.5, and just today got delivery of a 2.5 mini for $34.95. Also have an Evic VTC mini with eGo One Mega tank. Not nearly as much as some folks have in the vape stash, but I'm not in desperate need, either. Lets me be patient and shop bargains.

Vaporrange, where I got my Zmax, still has the blue ones in stock for $9.95.

Vaporider site is back up (at the moment) they've got 'em on BOGO for $12.99. But I'm waiting to see if they do a Bogo on the mini @ $11.99 after the the telescopic sell out. Also waiting for price to drop some more on a Smok Silenus somewhere jus cuz I think it's cool as :censored:!

EDIT; CRAP the minis are outta stock!

Sorry, I don't understand how the question relates to my quoted post? But I see no difference between any of the Joyetech related companies. Used to think that Eleaf was just Joyetechs bargain brand but then after learning that Wismec,Vapor Flask and who knows what others are manufactured by them I see no difference.

They do seem to share the same chips and such among the various Joyetech brands.

The Istick 30 has to be one of the best selling mods of all times.

I agree 100% with that , it is a fact . Selling well based on over the top company schilling where they flooded forums with paid company schill's to just praise the iStick mods is in many peoples minds terrible business ethics .

That and the "screw the customer" and no warranty is a big reason why Eleaf has a terrible rep with many people .

There are people who don't care and will gladly support a company that treats it's customers like garbage as you can see in this thread .

You mean backs their products about like half of the makers out there?

No , Eleaf and Joytech are the biggest offenders of the "screw the customer " philosophy , just a month or two ago Joytech announced that it will NOT cover the bad 510 on all it's cuboid mods even though they are 100% at fault .

Eleaf has used the "if you used any tank other than an Eleaf tank " on any of it's mods your warranty is void , even though they do not mention that before you buy their mods.

They also use the "warranty is void unless you buy through the Eleaf factory directly" BS , if you buy it through an authorized vendor no warranty will be provided .

That is BS on the highest level and NO other company screws their customers like that .

Some may have had better luck but that is the MO of those two companies and has been for some time yet people still support them , why, nobody knows .

Here's one more data point, my personal experience and opinion:

I bought four istick 30s about a year ago, and have used all four heavily since I got them. Zero problems. One is starting to fade after over a year of use and daily recharges. I believe I have received good value. Thumbs up.

Most people I know who bought istick 50s have had problems, and warranty coverage has ranged from poor to good, depending on the retail vendor. Thumbs down.

I have enjoyed over a dozen eleaf/ismoka GS-Airs, and their siblings, the M, the Ms, and the GS-Tank. The experience has been excellent with the 1.5 ohm dual coils, fair to poor with the 1.2 ohm coil, and lousy with the tc coil that comes installed in the Tank. Overall, I am very happy with these clearos. Thumbs up.

Make what you will of this.
