Thanks for all the replies. Still haven't quite made up my mind completely. Payday is this Friday, and I'll pick something up from the local shop. I feel the strong urge to support them, mainly because they loaned me one of their mods for this last week and a half. I can't remember exactly what they carry.
Once I buy that one, I'll pick up at least a spare or two online. Will probably end up with another istick 50w from store, and I'm leaning towards the CoolFire IV. Would like to find something the wife would be comfortable with.
I'll keep y'all updated as far as what I get, and if I have any further issues (if I get an iStick again).
If I'm able, I'll probably pick up a battery charger online as well. That way, I'll be prepared if I decide on a removable battery device. Of course, if I do that, I'll have plenty more questions on best battery and such, lol.

Thanks again

I wonder if your computer puts out more than 1a of power, because I used to charge mine with an ipad charger that put out 2.1a, but then I read somewhere that it can damage the charging port, so I stopped and went back to the 1a. It has been working since. However, I do have issues where it shuts off on its own.
Anyways, I am just saving up to get a new DNA 200, so hopefully it works until then.
As far as suggestions: I just bought my girlfriend the new Sigelei 75W TC, and it is a nice piece of equipment. It is small and uses only 1 18650 battery, but it's perfect for the average vaper (75watts is more than any vapor, ideally, needs). It also has Temperature Control capabilities, which in my opinion, is the "future of vaping". It also is very simplistic and easy to use and versatile.
Keep Calm and Vape On!

Not sure what my computer puts out, but I won't take the chance of that happening again. I'm making sure nothing I use to charge says 'fast charging' or more than 1A either. I assumed the device would regulate the incoming current, but better safe than sorry.
Went by the store, and we worked out a deal, sorta. I supplied him some vinyl decals, and he's letting me keep the loaner iStick 50w. I figured we both got a decent deal out of it.
Now, with not having to make a large purchase at a b&m, I ordered a Cool Fire IV, shipped for $35. This one will mainly be for the wife, unless mine dies, lol.
On the plus side, if I can get her into vaping, that would be twice the amount of mods/supplies I can get. ;)

Not sure if we should just get another SuperTank for her, or start her off on something smaller (>1 ohm). I do want another SuperTank anyway, for me. I love mine, and probably the only other tank I'd consider for me would be the Crown.

Any recommendations on good starter tanks? As a smoker, she's a MTL hitter, and she tries my setup the same way. I figured they were more for DTL, but I could be mistaken. Was thinking maybe throw in a higher resistance coil, and cut the airflow, to see if that would be better for her.
