Haven't got a 50 (yet, since I don't sub-ohm nor TC and I only vape 'round 15W to 20W wid my Naughties)). But I will say I do appreciate da TC40W istick in dat it has da option to select a stealth mode where when 'fired' da display does not 'announce' (aka no display when fired).

Would appreciate a link to da 50 problem. TIA...




TBTH, I'd gladly double my DIY quantities if I would garner a superior vapin' experiences vs. my current enjoyment!




Ouch! I've yet to venture into within your capabilities: maybe some day...

Sweetheart, you're an inspiration, in more ways than one!

Here ya go ... we had 2 of 'em w/ the infamous auto-fire problem. Click on the picture for video. It was just sitting peacefully on the end table ... doing its own thing.



Janet had one on her night table, the tank was almost full. In the morning the tank was almost empty and had a liquid build up around the outside base of the tank. It must have been auto-firing all night long. On / off / on / off .... yikes!

I never heard of an update w/ a fix for it.
No bideo, just a pic!

I was on a ship in the Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia. We used to go to Atlantic CIty at least once a month. I always took no more than I could afford to lose which at the time was around what I would have spent at a local bar on a Friday night. If I was winning I would slip chips into my pocket as I won and the amount got above what I had come in with. Never took it out again and when the original amount was done so was I. There were 4 of us that went together pretty much every time. On of the guys was playing roulette when the rest of us were done. I went over and told him to wrap it up. He then proceeded to tell me that he was up $14,000 dollars and was on the streak of his life. He told us to leave him and he would catch the next bus back to Philly. I shouldn't have left him, I know that now. The next morning he was missing at morning muster. Turns out he lost every penny he had won and what he had came with. Didn't even have bus fare. We had to run out to AC at lunch time and get him. He had slept on a bench in front of the casino and begged a phone call the next morning. What a shame. :shock:
In gambling as in many other aspects of life, its good to quit while you are ahead

Well I'm trying something daring. I am using one of my Provaris with a Nautilus and 8mg of nic. I've been really craving a smoke lately and this seems to do it for me.

Sometimes you just gotta up the nic. You can always go back down - it's the beauty part of DIY.

Ok, got it! That's just scary!

Yep it was. We had 4 of 'em between us and 2 went bad. One was replaced under warranty and got a refund for the other one, as the vendor dropped them from his inventory.

Most of the problems I heard about when these 1st came out ... did happen within the 1st month or so. Seemed if they didn't go bad in the 1st month or so of use ... it wasn't going to happen. There was a big thread on the iStick 50.

I need some advice. If you remember when I went to my prosthetist Friday before last he had me try this test socket with it only attached with fiberglass and glue instead of being attached with screws. The first step I took I ended up on the hard floor because it broke off. Well my side hurt a little on Saturday but now it hurts like I broke a rib. I don't want to get this guy in trouble with the company but I don't know what to do about it. Seems like it hurts a little worse each day. I know there isn't really anything they can do about a broken rib but let it heal but I don't know what I should do about the injury itself. I can put up with the pain but don't know if I should say anything about it to the company. I'm pretty sure I broke a rib I've had one before but I hate to get this guy in trouble. I know it will heal eventually. It's weird how it only hurt a little for the first 3 days or so then worse each day after. What do you think?

I agree with Russell. Talk to the guy. You should have it looked at just to make sure. You'd think it would have hurt a lot right away, but maybe it's because of where it is. If it's hurting more instead of less you should have it looked at. Wrapping your chest tight might help.

Well at first it just hurt a little bit today is the worst it has hurt since I did it. It's not unbearable or anything but my bones are just covered with skin. I am so skinny I look like the people you see in pictures from prison camps, I weigh 145 with my legs on which weigh 7lbs each and I am 5'9".I put it off because it didn't hurt that much in the beginning.

Jeez, they won't even need an x-ray, just take a close look at your chest. Actually, do you see any swelling or bruising?
