@Foggy Road why is the tank no good for you? Needs refilling too often? First time I brought it out with me I took along a 30ML bottle! Top fill is convenient!
I work a 14 hour day behind a steering wheel. A 2ml tank? Would be like drippin n drivin! :lol:

Try using some shrink tubing behind the USB cable connectors for reinforcement...done that for the last 10 years without issue, and cable breakage.

If you want something with a ridiculous amount of e-liquid capacity, check out an aromamizer plus. 20ml tank, you can throw some massive builds in there that do not require 500w to fire, and they have loads of airflow. (they are on the large side, so you'd need something like an rx200s to handle it, which also has the added benefit of triple 18650 batteries...longer vape time between charges) :)

*One of my brothers from another mother works for NEMF, and he's constantly on the road for hundreds of miles at a time, and I set him up with the same set-up and it's all he uses.

@ribbery guy - If you haven't already ordered from somewhere else:

RockyMountainVapor.com still has their 30% off coupon code active, and free S/H for $14+ purchases. Coupon code is: Turkey. They currently have Eleaf iStick 30W in stock for $35 - 30% = $24.50, the Eleaf iStick 40W TC Kit for the same price, as well as the Eleaf iStick Pico 75W for only $30 - discount = $21! They're a great company with authentic products, wonderful customer service, and fast shipping. I've bought many things from them, and they're always exactly as they should be!

Eleaf/ISmoka Parts : Rocky Mountain Vapor, The Mountain top of Electronic Cigarettes

They also have the Aspire Nautilus Mini in stock, as well as the BVC coils for it. Can get them there, too, with the 30% off!

I haven't ordered yet, but I think I will now. Thanks a lot for this. Looks like this is the place I'll be ordering from. Those are some great deals.

I think I'm going with the 40 watt istick. Probably will order two of them, a nautilus, and some extra coils. Probably an eleaf wall charger too since it doesn't look like they come with one.

It's not a problem charging from a laptop usb? I try to baby these batteries and don't want to upset them.

I think it is Always Better to use a decent Wall Wart verses using a Computer USB Port to do Charging.

In a Pinch or in an Emergency, sure, I'd do it. But for D2D Charging, I'd go with a Wall Wart.

Just put in the order with Rocky Mountain Vapor and the 30% discount. I got 2x 40w isticks, 1 nautilus mini, and 2x 5 packs of coils. Everything ran for $87. That should be good to start me off.

Couldn't get the wall adapter through them since they don't seem to have any available. My Kanger charger is only a 500 mA charger, so I'll have to pick up one that charges at 1 amp. I'm sure I'll be able to get one on amazon for about $5 or $10.

By the way, does anyone know how the nautilus handles high VG juice? The evods are terrible with anything over 50%.

So I've been using an evod for the last couple years and it looks like it's apparently a pretty outdated product. I've been researching the last couple days and I think i've narrowed down my next purchase to be a nautilus mini with a 30w istick. Not looking to sub ohm vape and this seems like pretty recommended combo.

So with my evod, I always had a couple batteries. When one would lose charge, I'd just put on another battery and charge the one that was dead. I see that the isticks have a passthrough, so i can vape while it's charging. Is this considered safe or do you guys think I should just buy 2 isticks and just switch them off when they need to be charged?

Also, if anyone has any other combos or recommendations, I'm happy to hear them. Seems like the cool fire 4 is another good product that fits what I'm looking for, but they don't seem as easy to find as the isticks.
I would buy two. I have three isticks and an Aspire Pegasus :D

The 500 ma charger will do fine just slower.

    If you have to charge from a laptop, have it plugged in so it's not battery to battery. Still not a good idea tho.

    I did that and all the 5-10$ overheated/malfunctioned and are in the trash. Then I got these and am very happy.
