Four?? WOW! I was looking at the website link you shared, made me a little jealous...my order is still "processing", like someone else shared- People are out vaping on these things and I havent even gotten a tracking number yet lol. But I like the idea that someone else shared,whoever gets there's first please post a little review here? vapenw says they are filling the rest of their pre-orders today and it is only about noon their time, so I am still hopeful my new toy goes out in the mail today. But it'd be cool if someone here could verbally unbox it for us in the meantime.
Alright so kind of unrelated question. My new gear is on it's way, in preparation I got some CrunchBerry Juice 6mg 70/30. (I currently vape 8mg at 60/40). For those that have the subtank, which coil would you use first?
Just got mine today from the same vendor. I have the subtank mini and was using the mpv20w with the 1.2 coils. That is until today...lol. As soon as I got the istick50 I threw in the .5 coil and..........POOF! I disappeared in a foggy dense cloud. You knew I was there though cause you could here me going MmmMmmmmMmm! The flavor is fantastic!
I'd go with the .5 coil. Enjoy
A verbal unboxing. Probably the least sexy unboxing experience I've ever had. Instructions, mod, and a flimsy little box with no charger but there is a slot for it an empty slot but it is what it is. The mod makes up for the lack luster packing job. It's a great little rig. I love it and just can't put it down. Been honkin on this thing all day!
I got my iStick 50 at a local vape shop. They have them for $55. Another shop near me has them for around 60. I also have the Subtank mini. I tried the 1.2 ohm coil for the first 3 days until my liquid gunked up the wick/coil. Moved on to the RBA build (.5 ohm), wicked it, and I've been loving it ever since. I run it between 17 and 20 watts and I find that is all I need. It produces a ton of vapor and a lot of flavor. It's definitely not a tank made for mouth to lung vaping. It's a good thing my local shop has been out of my regular liquid at 11mg and I've had to buy 4mg. It rocks on the mini.
Well, the postal service estimates tomorrow is the day so hopefully my news tomorrow night is more eventful. But, so you both are saying start with the .5 then? And around 17 to 20 watts? Where should I put the volts or does it matter? I've been reading alot of posts on here from first time users of the mini subtank saying they can't handle it, it makes them cough too bad. Also, how should I prep the coil? (Totally new at this). Just pour some juice inside the coil, fill the tank and let it sit in there for 15 to 30 minutes before I try to hit it?
Just adjust the watts the volts will adjust automatically. Put like 4-5 drops into the atomizer, fill tank, let it sit for a couple minutes, take a couple dry pulls without firing it up. Start at lower wattage and work your way up to a comfortable vape not too hot not too cold
I'm cooking the .5 @ 20w at the moment. The unit seems to auto set the volts to 3.7v at that wattage. PREP the coil for sure! 4-5 drops inside the coil....and let it sit about 5min. I usually close off the airflow and suck on it a little to draw juice up into the wick. Your gonna love this combo! If you need a visual for the coil prep just check out youtube.
Thank you!! Same type of prep for the 1.2? I'm Gonna try to build next week, I just need a millimeter ruler. Gonna try to follow Riptrippers vid lol. Yeah I'm really looking forward to this. The Highlight of my vaping experience so far.
Here's a cool tool for coils.

What are you guys charging the iStick 50W with I ordered one but it is just the battery. Can I use the iPhone 6 Plus wall charger with a mini usb cable, or do I need to buy a special wall adapter?
Thanks
Thanks
Okay! Well I now have in my possession the iStick 50 and the Subtank mini and am vaping!! I ordered them Saturday afternoon (2/7), they got the mods Monday, I received my package today (2/13).This is my first sub ohm tank and highest wattage mod (other mod is an MVP 2). It all came from vapenw.com. GREAT store, no problems other than me getting antsy. LOL when I first hit this tank with this battery, the first word that came to my mind was DAYYUM. I'm running the .5 ohm coil in it now and the highest I've put the watts so far was 23.5. It hasn't choked me like others have posted, but it does pack a throat hit that is profound. I'm vaping 30/70 6 mg crunch berries in it right now and I've never had a better vape. Thank you all for recommending these products to me, I am a HAPPY vaper!!
really tied between istick 50w and ipv mini 2. will the extra 20w from the ipv serve me longer?
I also have the iStick 50W (as well as the 20 and 30 w) and my favorite tank on the 50 is the Kanger Subtank mini. I really like the juice capacity, and the ability to use both 1.2 and .5 ohm coils. I have also used the rba section , but find that I like the convenience of the pre-made coils better. For what it's worth, I also have an Aspire Atlantis that I use with it and I like that as well.
I may be in the minority here, but I recommend that you find a local vape shop and establish a good relationship with them. I know I might pay a few dollar more when I buy from my favorite local shop, but to me it's worth it to be able to go in and browse and talk about the latest gear. I also kind of like holding stuff before I buy it. I can get a feel for the quality before I buy.

Hi there. I bought the iStick 50W and I'm using it on the Subtank Mini. Great combo and I'm very happy with it.
The battery life on the 50W is awesome. Can easily get through a few days charge free, of course depending on how you vape (I'm pretty much a chain vaper at this point).

Well, I'm really grateful I had a positive online purchasing experience with VapeNW and Mount Baker Vapor. I am still a bit leery of buying stuff online though due to the bad experiences I've read here and other places as well as my neighbors. But these 2 places were top notch as far as delivery time, price and product authenticity. I have two local vape shops I tend to stick with and they both know me, I buy my juices, coils and a few tanks there. Their prices on mods though are outrageous hence why I got the batteries online.
