Mod firing problems

[Arthur Leat]

Hi Guys,

Glad to join the community and hope perhaps to sort out some problems. How much money we save by vaping instead of smoking! I had a few problems though which I hope some of you may be able to sort out for me.

I’ve has three eleaf istick 40s and, recently, an Istick 30. They’re good when they’re going, but they often quit firing and I can’t figure out why or how to get them to reliably fire. Has anyone else had this problem. If so, we’re they able to find an answer.

Should I change to another make of mod?

Looking forward to hearing from happy vapers,

Best wishes to all,

Arthur Leat

Welcome to the Forum.

I have two iStick 30ws which have served well for over six years. However they aren't holding a charge now for as long as they once did and will be replaced.

A few years ago when the 40w was sold as a kit with the squatter looking GS Air and the maker claimed that they were specially built for eachother, I bought three in Spain.

None lasted more than a year, The tanks were good but somehow the mods weren't - they developed the same fault yours has.

I got a temporary fix by plugging in the charging cord and then switching them on after about 15 minutes but this was strictly a temporary fix.

I replaced them with 30ws.

Others may have better suggestions.

I doubt you'll be able to fix the problem of not firing. That's an internal switch issue most likely.

Eleaf just released the mini Istick 2 which looks like a nice little mod with an integrated battery. Maybe you should look into one of those.

Welcome Arthur, I see you're riding the Eleaf chariot. Any particular reason why? Are you considering expanding your horizons? I have plenty of suggestions if so. I only have a single Eleaf mod - I arrived after the rise and fall of the Pico unfortunately. Also, where do you reside in the world for item sales sake?

Hi Guys,

Welcome and glad you joined.

I have had no problems with the 30's, still have them and they work fine.
"How long does Eleaf iStick last?
Depending on usage, they can last anywhere from 1-2 years to 4-5 years... but once dead, it's over. It's important to not let them go low, lithium batteries have a better lifespan when topped off before they get too low (about 1/2 if the lowest that I try to go for.Jun 20, 2017"

Having struggled unsuccessfully for months trying to get my tc40ws and now the tc30 to work, I’m giving up and going to look for something more dependable.

Let me know, Guys, what good mods you’ve been using

I recently bought another Pico 75w (Mod only).

Really liking the Innokin Coolfire Z80 mod I just got, great size, hand feel, ease of use, function and reputation. It uses an 18650 external battery though, it pairs beautifully with the zenith 2 tank if you are I interested in expanding even more you can buy it as a kit The Innokin Sensis has an internal 3000mAh battery, glass pods, a nice variety of coils and great reviews if you are set on internal battery mods.

I was really close to getting a Voopoo Drag X, mod only, with a 510 adapter.
