New Joyetech 20watt eGrip

[love coffee]

I'm glad I read this thread! I ordered my egrip from VaporBeast and actually received it before I even heard about the istick. Once I read about the istick, I ordered one of those too. I let the egrip sit in anticipation of the istick. I loved the istick so much, I considered just returning the egrip. BUT, after reading through this thread and watching several reviews, I think I shall keep both! And, BTW - I also ordered a 2nd igrip, so I think I'm set with mods for awhile...

Sounds interesting. Where would I go to check one of those out?



Do you have an iStick? How does the eGrip's performance (and size/weight) compare with it?

I have both, and to me, the egrip is heavier than the istick, but agree that it has a nice "palm gripping" size. I should quantify my assertion that the egrip is heavier by saying that I'm only using a regular sized clearo on top of the istick. I have a nauti mini, but haven't tried it on the istick yet. With a comparable tank, they may be the same weight.

I think I've finally figured out how to gauge the wattage on the egrip, but it was hard to figure out the dial with only one number on it. Finally figured out that the marks get thicker as you progress towards 20.

I will say that I am enjoying the vape from the egrip. I've had no issues with the installed coil or taste. This little thing puts out lots of vapor for me. I vape NETs almost exclusively, so time will tell as to how fast the coils gunk.

Overall, I like this little device! Hard to say which I like more, as I've only used the egrip for a few hours.

Are the coils only in 1.5 as of now, I would honestly like s little less power even with it turned down all the way to 8watts

I have heard there will be higher ohm coils out soon.

Where did the rumor of the kayfun-like replacement atomizer head come from? I'm thinking of jumping on the bandwagon, I just can't commit to buying atomizer heads again. Gives me willies just thinking about it.

Heard that 2. I don't think they would waste their time, maybe for a nautilu would be awesome. Don't see how their would be room in that small coil, at least not with my arthritic old hands.

If it is wattage controlled, how would higher resistance coils change anything?

I just ordered an eGrip myself, and as a big-time iStick user since they came out, I'm anxious to compare. I've got the Aerotank Mega on my iStick pretty typically these days, and I'm going to guess that when it comes to weight, for comparable capacity, the eGrip is not going to be all that much heavier, and it will be much smaller.

Wonder if anyone can compare or share their thoughts? I really like an airy draw. I use a 'Silo' on the largest air-hole setting with my 2.1 BVC coils. I'd hate to buy an eGrip only to learn the draw is tighter than I like - has anyone used both?

The egrip is great but get rid of the stock drip tip and put on a bigger bore one. It helps, I think I'm using one off anautilus or a kanger mega.

Just curious, while waiting for my own egrip. If you start the day with a full charge and a full tank, which runs out first, battery or liquid? And if you answer, please state the watts setting you use.

 

[alongo]

Its probably about even, I don't let either get empty. I vape at 10 or 12 watts nany more that and u have to short hits to avo8 burning. That might be effected by now thick your juice is. Remember to get a bigger bore juice tip.

For me juice runs out 1st. Mine is on the lowest setting- 8W. I leave it there so I can take longs draws. Anything higher & I taste the burn.

Good to hear! It sounds like it will suit me just fine, I expect I'll use it at the low end as well.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up yet but I sent my Egrip back today because the micro usb got pushed into the devise. I hope this isnt going to be an issue with its release..

I'm having an issue with my USB port too. The plug won't go all the way into the device. Eagle, did you send yours back to the supplier/vendor, or to Joyetech? I have a feeling I'm going to need to send mine back before too long.

I just picked up an eGrip yesterday from my local B&M store. I'm really liking it's compact size. I haven't really turned itup much as it seems to be vaping the Cosmic Fog Nutz very well at the lowest setting.

Just a bump, hoping for some input?

Get a wide bore drip tip , it's alot better than the stock tip. But not like the silo. I'd compare it to the nautilus.

I added a bigger bore drip tip to mine and find that it has similar airflow as my Protank 2 with aero base. I also watched a review on YouTube where the reviewer took the air adjustment screw out for even more airflow.

I was hoping this didn't happen to me but it's been 10 days and now my eGrip doesn't charge unless I position the charger to lean against something in order to make a connection inside the grip.
I'm not going to do this on a regular basis so looks like I'll be trying to get an exchange tomorrow.
