A normal #6 o-ring is the same thing.. any hardware store. $0.10
I tried looking online at Lowe's. Do you have a link? I
OMG! I luv the purple! Too bad I don't order from Fast tech. I would have a cardiac event with the slow tracking/shipping.
Think of it as adventures in shipping. The real entertainment starts once it clears customs.
I've had my istick for about 3 days now and have barely charged it. I bought the blue colored one from a local vape shop and I have added a nautilus mini to the top. So far no problems with it. I'm a newbie vapor and upgraded to this from the itaste VV. I can tell a huge difference. I think I'm going to get another one as well.
Thank u sooo much!!!O-ring... Like the MVP 2 o-ring trick... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ste-mvp-v2-owners-group-771.html#post12815858
Is it possible to give a more detailed instruction on how to do this (or include pics)? I'm having the same problem. ThanksThe connector is definitely the weak link. I've been quite happy with it until a few days ago when i started getting the atomizer short. What seems to have caused mine was the pin getting recessed to the point it had deformed the seal underneath. This pushed the seal out slightly and allowed the pin to make contact with the body which was the short. My cheap fix was to put a small rubber seal in the bottom off the connector around the pin. It now fires reliably, tank fits snugly, and the pin and seal don't get displaced. But i shouldn't have needed to do this and did contact eleaf about it.

According to the Colbert Vape Report (Colbert Tech Repair) on youtube, it is spring loadedI canceled my pre-order the other day. I think I'll wait till the dust settles. I find it more concerning that some seem to vape hot while others don't than if they all did. I intended to give one as a gift and maybe keep one to play with but I'd hate to give one that might be problematical. Maybe V2 will have it sorted out and I agree a spring loaded or adjustable 510 would be nice.
I saw this posted on another forum so I grabbed it.
There is a discussion going on elsewhere about the iStick. Another member created this chart. There are a few low watt/volt vapers that say these run too hot for them. I am a lower wattage vaper and have had zero issues so YMMV
Do keep in mind that this is someones theory. They have not tested a thing here.
ETA- Text that goes with this chart
I made a new chart showing what combinations of oHms/watts the iStick is capable of regulating. eLeaf/Joye U.S. confirmed with the manufacturer that the iStick does not have the capability to down regulate power.
The blue bars show what is fully regulated. The purple shows oHms/watts combos that are only regulated when the power level you have selected falls below the volts the battery is actually outputting. If the settings you have chosen are too low to be regulated the iStick screen shows values calculated from oHms law based on your chosen settings rather than showing the actual power coming from the battery that is going to the coil.
For example, if you are using a 1.8 oHm coil the iStick will fully regulated your vape between 10 and 16 watts. However, if you want to vape your 1.8 oHm coil at 7 watts you can not do so until the battery output falls below 3.6 volts. In practice, this would mean you would start vaping at 10 watts with a freshly charged battery with the temperature of the vape going lower until the battery was actually outputting below 3.6 volts. The iStick would then regulate your vape at 7 watts until the battery needed to be recharged. The screen will reflect 7 watts/3.5 volts irrespective what volts are actually being output to the coil.
Using the iStick in voltage mode doesn't change the fact that the iStick is not capable of reducing the power coming from the battery. If the battery is freshly charged, producing around 4.2 volts, and you have set the voltage to 3.8 the iStick will be delivering 4.2 volts, not 3.8 volts, to your coil.
The iStick will not allow you to select a power setting that requires more volts than is allowed in its regulated range. It will stop at the highest setting that the chip can regulate.
The data I used is from doing oHms law calculations. The device may produce something a bit different in actual use. So far, I haven't seen any reviews for the iStick using reliable electronic testing equipment to check its accuracy.
