Just my opinion and maybe not relevant to your question: A Cloupor dna 30 with a nautilus/BVC produces all the taste and vapor I could ever want, without more throat hit than I want. I am SURE that home-built coils on RBAs provide "better" results. However, I'm not concerned about "better" when I've already got a set-up that's PERFECT for me.

I do not need to buy an iStick... I do not need to buy an iStick... I do not need to buy an iStick... ad infinitum.

Hey bigs - have you seen the new PV by eLEaf. It's call the iStick. I hear a lot of people really-really like it, despite it's flaws. :laugh:

This mod I'm waiting on is supposedly a cloupor dna30 clone tis probably no good but eh eventually I'll get one of these p3.
Though if thats no good I will be disappointed.
Was thinking of an istick for another person but read a few people having issues and that youtube guy seemed to hint at the next model with changes would be better.

Yep, i'm not jumping on the istick for that reason.

I don't think we'll see a 'next' version of the iStick anytime soon. It's selling so well - the manufacture likely doesn't have any reason to re-tool for an improved versions.

Already they're releasing an adapter to protect the threads of the 'tender threading' that it comes with.

2.5 probably. To start, anyway.

Yep I've got 4 of them and I really love them. Every one of them work perfectly and the only one that I ever had a problem with was the PV1 but they fixed that. They over looked that it had like a 1.5amp overlimit switch so if you used a carto tank with a 1.5ohm resistance your got an error code. An oversight on their part that they soon fixed. back in the old days. They were the new kid on the block with VV. Waited 5 weeks on preorder.

Interesting. Thanx fer dat info!

I'm not really understanding the 'hinge'. Unless, just to flip the topper off to the side when carrying it (or dropping it). Then there might be less strain on the threads if pressure were applied to the topper - or just to make more compact for carry. Dunno :blush:

I ordered a pair of ceramic tweazers from Fastech. 12.95. You can squeeze the coil while firing it with them. Several reviewers swear by them. I'll reconoiter and report when they come in. They've shipped but sometimes that doesn't mean much with Fastech.

This fine print is a not so subtle reminder to always read the fine print before signing anything.

Where do you find the I Stick. When I do a search I don't find it. Also I hear a lot of talk about the Orchid. I found one of those a clone at Fluid Vapes for 18.99 for the V3 or do you have originals from where.

Smoke Evolution has them, and has an ECF discount code in the coupons forum. And if you don't have problems about dealing with eBay, there are some listed there.

The Cloupor DNA 30 is sometimes called a clone, so maybe you're getting the real thing (a genuine clone). I think the Cloupor is considered a clone of a HanaMod. Don't take that info to the bank, but it might be right.

I see half a Mini there, I think, but it's not a Nautilus. Is your new guy a Provari with the Tatroe end cap?

I was talking about her Mini Cooper car, half of which is visible in the picture.

It would be entertaining to watch you riding in a car and hit a bump though. ;)

$34.99 here for the full kit....Eleaf iStick 20W Battery. Another poster said that ECF5 is the code for 5% off. Looks like all colors are in stock. :)

Ooh! Ooh! A new PV? Is it shiny? Most important of all, is it a "game changer"?:vapor:

Sometimes too many people buying an item is a bad thing because the manufacturers usually hold of on a new model for as long as they can.
Not that the item is bad just I have heard of some issues and with what i have read about vaping equipment improving a lot and some clones improving on the original models , then whats being released should not come with any negative issues of which the companies making them should have known about.

I am curious now about the Orchid. I watched a video on You Tube by the Black Guy who does a lot of swearing. I am sure you know who I mean. I really like his videos. So with the Orchid and dual coils are you always sub ohming. I only have one Mod capable of that which is my Sigelei DNA20 clone. I am wondering the way you increase and decrease your juice flow by not screwing the chimney on all the way seems like a hassle if you get it wrong you have to tear it down. Also is it as good as the KF or is it just another version except for the fact it looks real easy to run dual coils.
