Well i got home today and saw a package, my egrip had arrived from edampf!!

First of all WOW this is small and has some weight to it!! Got the rba base installed with the coil it came with already wicked. Wow it really hits hard! It's so amazing!

Any one got any tips for me? Just put it on charge as it's straight out the box.

Is it possible to change the air hole size with the rba base?
I know with the standard joyetech coils I'm able to change the size with the included tool.

You all must be M2L hitters.Not me, I'm considering modding my rba for max output. Rewicked many diff ways but the slightly restrictive air flow through the rba base keeps the device from providing max vapor ouput at 20w. The coil overheats and floods with extended pulls. Hoping to use both the rba airhole and the afc in unison to regulate an increased air flow.

Hey, some of you might be interested in this. I recently acquired a Mini IStick (OMG SO CUUUUUTE) for stealth vaping, and I took a pic of it, along with the EGrip and the regular IStick for size comparison.

I think it needs Dual 26650 batteries, DNA 40 chip, a phone, wireless charging, built in coil jig, and a 30 ml tank that fills and cleans itself...ahh never mind. Mine is perfect as is. Not a problem yet. Perfect airflow with the RBA base.
Well, ok, maybe a smaller lighter battery with more mah's would be nice, and black coating that won't chip.

Really, really funny stuff ..... In stitches.

I don't know why your pics don't open into a larger version. That's a great comparison pic.
I still may get the mini, I just don't need one. The EGO ONE tank is only 49mm, so I'm tempted... but it's only 1 ohm.:(
I hope eleaf switches to the 30W top caps on all 3 models.
Did they improve the connector on the mini?

I think I'm the only person who never had issues with the 510 connector on the IStick. Then again I always use the EGO adaptor (the clearos in the picture are Kanger EMOWs which are the bee's knees).

One thing to note about the Mini that I didn't realize until I got it: it's a variable-voltage device, not variable-wattage like the normal IStick. And of course, the battery life is less than half that of the normal IStick.
Still, cute as a button, much less conspicuous to my mind than an EGO battery, and only $18.13 plus shipping at the excellent Chinese site CVapor.

NO, you're not! I haven't had a problem either. :D
That mini is cute! I'm going to wait a bit, if for no other reason than to stagger the death of the batteries in all these new toys.
I've waited almost 5 years for the istick, building 900 mah nicosticks, and waiting saved me a ton of money!:)

Interesting, my Istick does both vv and vw. It switches between the two modes by depressing the power button quickly 3 times. The mini istick doesn't do that?

Nope. I even read the instruction sheet just to be sure. :laugh:

Oh yeah, They can't use that top cap on the mini because of the display.
That's one of my reservations about getting one, having that light in my eyes when it would be too close to read anyway.
I don't need seconds mode... I can count if I care.
I would rather they put an icon for "no atomizer" or "atomizer short", but I don't think the board on these monitors that.

Edit, should say, supports that.

No, They gave up some functionality with the mini. But it is cute!
I just hope someone doesn't sub ohm with it and get hurt.

If it's like the old Istick they can't subohm with it - it won't read subohm coils!

Odd to hear any istick called "old", but the mini apparently doesn't block firing a sub ohm atomizer. There are warnings on a few vendor websites. There aren't enough of them out to know any different. The display only shows voltage, battery charge and seconds vaped. We will see.

Edit, that was another reason I haven't purchased on yet.
