Anyone know why istick is saying atomizer the low with new istick and Nautilus tank?
What's recommended settings for Nautilus tank on istick?Mine did that yesterday! A quick swab out with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip fixed it!
I'll save coil and try on girlfriends.. Weird things like that seem to work lol
Nope...the one I linked in my post is the same as the one that comes in the kit that some iSticks come with...I tried the ego adapter you show in that link ( I have a couple here) and nothing lines up right and some atties dont fire...Would that be this one? http://sweet-vapes.com/accessories/thread-covers-adapters/510-ego-adapter.html
@Moonie Unless you waited more than 7-15 days, any respectable vendor should offer an exchange, at least. You could try offering a video of what it's doing.Thank you for the reply! I already contacted the seller but they are not going to give me a refund. They offered $10 only which is not worth the headache. Thats why I tried to fix it myself. the wierd thing is that it reads 1.1 ohms even if no atomizer is connected to it. It still reads 1.1 ohm even when I disconnect the 510 red wire.
Would be careful of those things. reddit has 3 or 4 posts everyday of these iSticks failing. This particular one this morning was startling. Check out his pictures. Here's one of them.

That one was plugged into a laptop charging port and left overnight...... I mean, it's shitty that it happened but that port was probably putting out the wrong amperage and that is what fried it.
All usb is 5v, and anywhere between .5 and 2.5A (maybe more) As long as usb 5v standards are adhered to, which all computer's do,

If is isn't 5volts, then it isn't Universal Serial Bus standard. Less wouldn't overcharge a device, probably just wouldn't charge at all. Amperage's can vary, but a properly designed usb device will only draw what it needs to charge. My cell phone charges drawing .9amps. If I plug it into a 2amp usb adapter, it will still only charge at .9amps. If I plug it into a .5amp usb adapt, it won't charge at all.Have you tested this? I'm a computer technician, and while I was in class we noticed that while all computers have at least one usb port outputing 5V, some manufacturers cheated on the extra ports and gave you less probably to save cost.

**edit** There could very well be other things eleaf is not complying with the USB standard. I have no idea if the charging was the cause of the fires or not. I do know there are many cases of auto-firing. Some saying juice in the switch, other's not. Who knows.
I don't know either, but if I had to bet, it would probably be a USB non-compliance of eleaf, rather than HP, Toshiba, Samsung, Apple, Dell, or the many other numerous brands out there.Only reason my mind goes there immediately is because it seems any time I've read of a battery catching on fire or exploding while charging in the past it is while plugged in to a laptop charging port. I'm not an electrical engineer so I don't really know what the ins and outs of it all are.
So, are you guys suggesting only charging the iStick directly from the wall to the battery?
Your welcome. You may want to follow https://www.reddit.com/r/electronic_cigarette/I own one and I am following this thread and I thank you.
This stuff is pretty disconcerting. I'm glad I didn't end up with an iStick, I was close. If it were me, I would only use the factory supplied charging cables, and if you didn't get the full kit, get them. Also, I definitely wouldn't leave the thing unattended while charging.
It sucks since an internal battery pack nullifies this option, but I always charge my batteries in my dedicated charger. My iPV Mini 2 can USB charge, I just feel like I have a charger, and I trust it more. I've never even tested the USB port. I hope this doesn't become more prevalent, seems at least one person has gotten hurt already.
I hear ya. I hope nobody gets seriously injured either. Another one just vented, posted an hour ago. was brand new. http://www.reddit.com/r/electronic_...3ds5/the_inevitable_happened_to_my_istick50w/
Nobody really knows if the fires are from charging or not. Some are speculating fire button problems. It just so happened that these two particular examples were being charged at night while sleeping when they failed. There has been many others who's device just started firing out of the blue while not on a charger.
I don't own one but I thought I would put the info & links out there for those who do. I would want to know if I did own one.
Yeah I just saw two pop up on ECR while I was on the bus to work..... With my istick 50 in my pocket lol..... Sounds like the ones that have gone bad recently have been working for a while and then just randomly overheating/autofiring. I'm thinking it's time to go for that sigelei I've been eyeballing and stop carrying this thing around with me.
