Slipping, Andria. Almost missed it!
I wanted to let you know, if you hadnt' seen my other posts -- that istick is losing charge even when turned off. So today when gerrymi posted that great sale on Kbox Minis, I snarfed a black one to replace the apparently-defunct black istick. If it's losing charge even when turned off, it's got a serious problem, and I really don't wanna risk it.
Just gotta figure out what to do with it. Trash doesn't seem a really safe way of disposing of it.
Andria
You just discover that?

Ummm no I have been posting that link for a year or so... PAY ATTENTION
I'm suddenly having a problem with mine, too, Andria. Every time I use it, the vape time goes down more. Now it doesn't last more than 3 hours. I also snarfed one of those kbox minis up today - first time I've ever seen them offered without the subtanks.

My pink iStick30 has been dropped twice on ceramic tile, and once got a nice ejuice bath when one of my kayfuns was leaking, and it still works like a champ, though it has some scratches on top from the kayfun whistle-screw. DavidOck suggested I drop the black one a few times and douse it in ejuice, show it who's boss, but at this point, I don't think it'll save it.
What the hey; the Kbox Mini was about $13 LESS than the iStick! And it'll look spiffy with my Achilles and red Ming driptip. I've been interested in those ever since they came out, but sure didn't want one of those subtank things.

Ming drip tips. I got a couple of cheapo delrin ones and like the tip. I would rather it went down to a cylinder rather than a bulb though. Not too masculine
I like my little VTC mini I got for 30.00 on a black friday deal.

You mean... (all together now)... A POOL NOODLE???
I got my new light-pink one today from MadVapes, but I'm disappointed; it's not the small Ming, but the large one; comfy on the lips with the rounded edge, but just doesn't feel the same as the small ones.

I had A mvp20w do something similar. As for getting rid of it. Wherever you takes batteries. Up here Home Depot takes them and Hazmat days at the dump.
A while back I ordered some of the rewickable cartomizers from naturevapes and today I finally got around to loading one up. I don't remember who mentioned them just recently but here are some out of the box comments.
I am using the 35mm without the flange 1.8ohm. First off they are exactly the same size as a carto so all tanks and driptips work. I primed with some Capella coolmint 70/30 PG/VG waited until the bubbles stopped and started vaping. I am not a huge fan of cotton (tends to taste like wet clothes smell) but I thought I could switch to rayon when I changed the wick out.
It's very airy and borderline lung hit. I can MTL but there is some gurgling (that could be the wattage I am using or it needs a settling in period). Still quite a cool vape but the flavour of my eliquid is very good compared to cartos. I expected the cotton wick to be pulled around when I loaded it but it was fine. I do think you might need to be a bit careful with filling.
Some niggles. It's loud. I like the pop and crackle of a carto but this is much more. No stealth vaping here. I can taste the almost perfumy taste of the cotton. Hoping that will go away.
They are expensive and I would hope that the coil is as robust as the review show.
I will give more comments after a couple of tanks have been through it.

Ok thx, I'll try Home Depot, and I think I heard that Radio Shack will recycle them too; got one of those quite near.

They are these ones Naturevape Flangeless DCT Coil (Billet Box) - Coils
Rewickable.
The Sophia and diver are rebuildable. I like seeing how all these carto type designs work and found these by accident.
We have a company called battery world that takes them for me.
They feel as though you need thicker eliquid so I will mix some 50/50 tomorrow.
Never mind.
