The Kamry 20W has been on the list since the beginning. I've just done an UPDATE with added info for it.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-z_V674p-5HYa9uzMqj1mq67da8-hnOOh2NNB2-ifgI/edit?usp=sharing

Two minor edits for your spreadsheet....

It appears you have the battery info for the smok Xpro M65 Plus (2x - 18650 Lipo non-replaceable 4400 mah) in the cell for the smok Xpro M65 (65W) (1x -18650 Replaceable)

Smok was getting flack in reviews for having four screws to get to the battery for replacement, seems they went to 4400 mah non-replaceable as a solution.

Also the Kamry 20W is listed as having a 2000 mah 18650 but without any mention of a door or replacement, may be a 18650 similar to the istick, same size and shape as replaceable but soldered in for more re-sales.

Right behind you...
Wow, that's very niiiice! ;-)

It's on the large size for a "mini", that lip on the 510 connector concerns me, it doesn't do the 30w+ that seems de rigueur these days, and the battery is sealed. But it's priced really really low, and more options is more options! :)

As posted in the main iStick thread...


Here we go gang. Got the iStick 30W in the mail today.

This is simply an unboxing. I'll give you my first impressions tomorrow. (Hint: Thus far, I'm liking it very much.)

Packaging from evape.us received in good condition.




Contents of package: Eleaf Box, generic USB cable, generic USB power adapter, free 10ml e-liquid, invoice.




Closeup of hardware:




USB adapter only supplies 500mA. Fortunately, I have several 1A-2.5A wall-worts and a USB charging station.




Closeup of Eleaf box:




Contents of Eleaf box: just 30W iStick and manual. There was no 510-eGo adapter included. I have three already.




iStick 30W. My shop seems to be a bit dusty...




Next to the iStick 20W. Notice "30W" is only printed on one side of the enclosure.












Some of the 30watter's new family.




Except for the top cap, the 20 & 30 watters appear physically identical, rattly fire button and all. :glare:

Give me a day or so to use it and get some numbers. I'm too busy to type anymore... :vapor:

ETA: Big thumbs up for evape.us. Ordered the 30watter on Monday just before noon. Received it today (Wednesday) about 1pm. Was not expecting a USB cable, adapter or free e-liquid. And the price was great @ $33.99 shipped.

Thank you, Stosh! Corrections made. :)
(wanna new column for your efforts?) ;)



This looks an interesting little mod. Worth keeping on.
Asvape WWE MOD-asvapecig.com

I didn't add this one, Davan, as it does not contain the "V".

I did however, add in the other ASvape. (ASpire envy, perhaps?)


Nice colors! They come out with the minis, I'll be in for a purple!:facepalm:


I don't get it.... SMH.... the "purple" looks a lot like the iStick "red". What's with the Chinese manus and their colors? :?:





and.......... UPDATE

Kamry 20W: 23 x 49.2 x 84.3
iStick 20W: 21 x 32.8 x 75

At almost a centimeter taller, 1.6 cm wider, and with those sharper octogon edges than the iStick 20W, the Kamry 20W will feel different in the hand. In fact, it's slightly bigger than the iStick 50W (23 x 45 x 83), which holds TWO internal 18650 LiPos for 4400mAh. No overhang for most full-size tanks, though, which some people will appreciate.

If the Kamry 20W is calibrated to RMS and has solid 510 connector threads with a floating pin, that'd be good. Even with those improvements, though, I'm not sure how much of the 20W Mini market share Kamry can grab. Some, probably, but how much? I guess it was worth it to Kamry to take a stab at it and find out, since knock-offs seem to be the order of the day among the Chinese manufacturers in this very competitive, wild west marketplace.

Bill,

I love my isticks (i have 3 20s), and will pick up a few 30s & 50s as well soon. Just checking these out because i am very rough on my rigs throughout the work day. I also have at least 5 times given up my rig to a new convert. This is cheap enough to be given as starter units and disposable if you don't want to bother replacing the batt should it fail. However it appears very durable. The edges while octagonal are rounded beautifully.

The battery is a 18650 soldered.

I have no idea who made the board.

Read on the iStick 50 watt thread that it, and the 30, are supposed to be RMS and DC current.

Edit: and supposed to buck and boost. ????????

I'd only believe the buck ability, or regulation accuracy of most of our high power - low cost minis AFTER seeing the scope traces on one of PBusardo's reviews.

Taste and / or heat perceived by vaping the units can vary by the topper used, air flow or resistance level.
