There's a few iSticks in stock here and there: Cloud9 have them, LT have Red & Blue, but the best price package I see is this one at a site I've not used before:
An istick plus a mini nautilus for £42 ..or an iStick for £30 - Free shipping from £30.
https://www.elegantvapour.co.uk/create-your-own/istick-nautilus-bundle.html

That website is terrible. Why do I have to verify my age on every single page? Yikes.

Edit - the tickbox was below the fold on my browser. Apologies to them.

Trouble is, the Nautilus says CLONE.... Ouch!
That's sneaky! S-- that! :facepalm:

Take the iStick for £30, I say. :)
Think seeing I never used them before, I'll wait until MyEpack get new stock next week if they're still £29.99.
At least they aren't sneaky with stuff!

Had to spit when I saw the Nautilus, now where did I put the tissues?...
Ha-ha! Sorry Steve - you had bad luck with yours. My two have been in use a good while every day now, and I haven't had any problem ...touch wood! :laugh:

I've been on preorder for weeks(4) with Elegant.I've since been and bought two elsewhere,and just let the order run.
No notifications, until Friday,when they said expect it Monday.But order still does not read shipped.So i'm not holding my breath.
However i have received e-mails from them asking if i would like to go on preorder for other items.Mmm, yeah lets get this one sorted first eh!

Heads up for anyone who bought an iStick that was supplied with a 3-pin UK wall charger.

If your charger (AC/DC adapter) is Model number: JD-050-050 DO NOT USE IT. The charger I received came in a yellow box with the word "Charger" printed in black on one side.

There is a risk of electric shock.

"The adapter poses a risk of electric shock because the electrical insulation is not sufficient. The internal supply wires and mains conductor pins are not fixed adequately to maintain their position.

The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant standards of EN 60950."

My eleaf (or curve as it's called) arrived today but there was never going to be a mains charger with it so not a problem for me.
Might be worth starting a thread on it's own for the warning so more people get to see it.
I'll give a report back when I've used my curve enough to run the the battery down.

Thank you! As I read that my eye moved to the yellow box sat on top the boxed black iStick! Neither have been used yet, and yes, exact description of the box: yellow with 'Charger' written on it in black. Inside, the very same model number! In the bin it goes.

Is the supplier that sends these with the iSticks aware of this?
Think it does need a separate thread!

Which supplier did you get it from?
I'd send them an email with the links as they obviously don't know about it.

Just thought I'd give a report back on how my Curve has done now I've run the battery down and charged it up for the first time.

Battery life was decent, about what you'd expect from a 2200mah battery.
It lasted me a day and a half and went through about 6mg of juice using it at 5-6 watts for the most part, with a 1.8 ohm coil. It vapes really well even at low settings.
Recharge times are excellent. It went from 0-3 bars in 15 minutes, to 4 bars in 45 mins and fully charged in 1 hour 45 mins. Surprisingly quick.
The USB connection has a really positive action to it.
Haven't found any problems with it yet - it seems a well built and engineered little device.

Great!

TECC are trying to temp me back (discount).... maybe I could get another iStick?
