Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

[tchavei]

I'm at 120 ml and haven't even looked at the wick... I think I will keep it until I build my new mod with a dna 40. I'll have to change the coil to ni so it will be a good time to rewick and maybe I'll break some records in the meanwhile lol

All my re-wicking is caused by at least one time forgetting to squonk

 

[Dave_in_OK]

Being that I drip and always running it dry; my coil/wick condition now makes sense.

Excellent. 120 ml with no dna40 temp protect.. You've surpassed the 100ml club.. The 150 is right around the corner for you.

180ml is the record with no temp protect! .. VG tobacco juice... Hardest part is not f'ing it up over all that time.. Longer is possible.. My last run to 180 was halted by the couch cushions auto firing my mod for an unknown time.. At that point finally decide I should go ahead rewick. I definately got my moneys worth. Lol

Thanks
I've been vaping Jugo Diablo for the first 60ml and lately my DIY menthol (70% VG, 15%PG, 5% menthol (diluted in PG).

Hopefully I get the last pieces I need to rebuild the mod soon or I'm going to break a few records. I really don't feel like rewicking now lol

No significant gunking on the coils.. Take some close ups before you pull it if you can..

I see a SX350 60w at A to Z Vapor World with a 4.3v max and thought all the YiHi were like that. Didn't know the 100-150w boxes were using that chip.

 

[JeremyR]

The Sig is the sx330 v3
(Not 350)

Sigelie 150-
YiHiEcigar SX330 V3S 150W

Sig 100-
YiHiEcigar SX330 V3 100W

Only reason I didn't get the sig150w(better version) other than cost is that this is my first box mod. So I wasn't sure I'd like it and wanted to go with the smallest.. Holding the istick 50 is great.. I told sigelie if they can get close to its size I'll be holding a sigelie again.

 

[PaulBHC]

The i50 looks like a well thought out design. Time will tell if heat gets to the guts between the batts.

 

[JeremyR]

I have yet to feel it even get slightly warm.. I think its gonna be a winner... The size is incredible. Easiest button to push ever.. Not that its weak but its ergonomic for me.. Palm fires great in the crook of your thumb just by gripping it, no fingers needed or trigger finger by just a squeeze.

I50 with flash e-vapor clone.

Tracking has my I50 being delivered on Monday; must say I'm a little excited. I've needed a new APV since the time my ZMAX went thru the mower but refused to spend the money.

 

[JeremyR]

Dude that was a long time ago.. The stainless sure was durable... The istick I don't think is as durable, but pretty solid that its screwed together. Mines showing scratches already on the end caps. No big deal; for $40 you get a lot... I think you'll like it Dave..

When I was out in -5f for a while I noticed the battery charge lowered a notch but it did come back after it warmed up.. This is probably normal for all batteries.

 

[Dave_in_OK]

Not worried about scratches and hopefully I won't run it thru the mower . At $40 as long as it works well for 6 months or more I'll be a very happy vaper.

Two things to watch out for on the istick, the metal they make the top cap where the 510 is tapped is soft, if you get an atty that starts to screw on with the least bit of resistance STOP! I took a couple threads out of the top of the 510 female threads on my istick when screwing on a plume veil even though I stopped right away it came back off hard, the metal was in the threads of the plume. I took a razor blade and got the metal out of the plume's threads then took a piece of 600 grit wet or dry sand paper and lightly polished the threads on the plume, they were very sharp and the problem is now gone. You could put a ego adapter on it or the istick bending adapter which has a spring loaded 510 and just leave it, I did that with a ego adapter for a long time but it bugged me having it on it.

The other problem I have is sometimes it doesn't fire when I push the button, I have to let off and push it again. The istick uses the button switches on the board, the button on the atty extend into the body and rest on the board switches. At some point I'll have to replace the fire switch on the board, hopefully it won't be a big deal, I hope.

There are a few youtube vids that show taking the istick apart, Busardo's vid of the 20W (below) shows the inside but there is one that's better.

Sounds like you're describing the original 20W, not the upgraded 30 or 50W which use stainless steel for the 510 connection now. While the top cap is still chromed brass, the interior threads are all stainless. The button on the 30W is still a bit wonky, although the later batches of 30W seems to have gotten rid of the rattle, while the 50W uses a whole different style and is quite responsive (at least mine is).

I only use 1 out of 2 of my my original 20W iSticks due to stripped threads and damaged 510 pin (which was replaced in the 30/50W with a springloaded pin). If you get a chance, grab one of the upgraded editions.

 

[JeremyR]

Yes stainless insert on the 50w. No issues with it. Dropped mine 4 feet already with a stainless flashi, no problem. Button is Clicky and very responsive to my requests. No rattle, not that I would care it if did.

Is it just my eyes or did Qorax build a SPACED coil? That's so 2012 / 2015

My build is starting to taste a little funny (read as slight burned aftertaste). I hope my bits turn up tomorrow because I will rebuilding this regardless...

125ml right now no TP.

Kaezziel! Welcome back my friend. Haven't seen you post in a couple months. Hope you are doing well.

Hey Jax!! Thank you, sir... Yeah, I just kinda needed to get away from everything for a while. Sometimes life just seems to have a way of stacking up on you, ya know? I'm hanging in there, though and should be back around here a bit more now. I missed you guys and just couldn't stay away for too long.
How about you, man? Everything going well for you?
