Have been using istick 60 for a few weeks, have dropped it a couple of times but not recently. All of a sudden the Ti and Ni modes are not working. I have tried swapping tanks around and they are working fine on other batteries. The screen behaves as if it is working normally, no warnings or anything but there is absolutely no vape.
It still works fine >ohm in watt mode.
If anyone has had a similar problem or can offer some advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Stuff like isticks are, for all practical purposes, considered disposable. If you have repeatedly dropped it, something sprung loose. I've opened them up, even the casing around the LiPo pack is like aluminum foil......that's it. Tiny cheap wires in there as well, very easy for soldered wire to get loose or break off, batteries will get jostled, etc.

Good to know.

I'm sure this wont help but "Racehorse" is probably right, you should just get a new one. And for goodness sakes don't drop it LOL.

In TC mode, is it reading the correct resistance?
Have you tried cleaning the 510 pin as well as both battery terminals?
Be sure the battery is still tightly held by the terminals- dropping it can cause them to lose their hold on the battery. I'd also swap out the battery for another known good one.

G'luck!

The resistance is reading properly and I have tried your suggestions, still no go, I might have to retire it. Will use old Istick 40 until new VTC mini arrives, which I will be more careful with.
Thanks for all replies.
