Istick 100

[stello]

i have the 100w black. i buzzes a littel when hittin the fire button.but i hear they do that even the 50w does it.other than that great batt life it fires up very fast and the display is so simple.for 30 to 35 bucks its worth it.ive been using it for a good week with 3 diffrent tanks between .5 to .2 ohm coils and its fine

I don't love it. Its large, the buttons rattle, and it charges slowly. I mean, it works well, it's just not my favorite. I do love the magnets though, strong as fuck. Its a good beater mod that I don't care if I drop in the toilet. $30 well spent.

 

[stello]

lol you get what you pay for right.

going to be buying one or two of these guys when I get paid. whats the overall verdict?

Sort of still new for an over all verdict..Mine works so far as it should..If you want a very short term verdict then its a good device so far...i never charge through the usb so ,i cant comment on that being a danger to anyone as some have been with other models and brands...Its just too easy to remove the batteries and use a real charger to charge them on.

A week in and my opinion remains unchanged - it's bulky and cheap, with rattling buttons and a great battery door.

For the price, it's a winner...but it's no Sigelei in terms of quality.

Yep, those will all do. I'd personally go with the Samsungs.

NOTE TO ALL: please do not turn this into a battery pissing contest

Thanks Rhyno. I'm about to order a Istick now. I found one for $32.39 W/Free shipping, black only.

 

[Squonk]

For anyone interested. I just ordered one from http://ecigavenue.com/ They have black only and as of now 8 left in stock(was 15 30mins ago). $32.39 free shipping. Use coupon code 100WATTDEAL. US seller.
Edit: Now they just added 100. So much for the hurry up and hit the BUY IT NOW button. Oh well, it kept me from dragging my feet some more.

I have had zero issues with mine so far....but then again, it hasn't been my daily mod (the IPV4S has that spot still). As was said, feels a bit clunky in the hand and the buttons rattle.

But for a mod that might fall in the toilet, might get left outside in my lawn chair around the fire pit, gets put in my pocket while mowing, and in any other environment where you know your favorite mod will get damaged or even just scratched up or banged up, this is a great little 100W box fir for the task. And at this price you won't find much better. I keep a pair of EFest batteries in it and the built in charger works fine (one of the batteries won't charge in my Nitecore i2 due to the contact points).

At this point I think that the mod will last and not suffer from some the issues the other models had due to the removable batteries and the design differences. Time will tell of course, but if I was stepping up from a simple ecig to a "real" mod I would be very pleased with it.

Do you get the buzz when the volts are above 3.7?

 

[mkhilario]

For those considering this mod, this is the review that put me over the edge. Btw, mine is working and charging fine. It's a black unit and looks much better than the silver imo.

 

[Squonk]

Thanks mkhilario. Mine will be delivered today.I just hope my batts will be here as well. I ordered my Istick from EcigAvenue in CA. on Monday and my batts from Ebay from a vendor about 50 miles north of me here in FL on the same day and it looks like I might have my Istick sooner. Go figure.

[UncleMike]

Have one coming in the mail, should be here today or tomorrow. Can't wait to give it a try.

 

[Squonk]

Well. I just got it. I wish I could tell you how it works but the batteries I ordered are a no show today. Lets see... Istick from California to Florida 3000 miles, 3 days. Batteries from Florida to Florida 50 miles, 4? days. Any way the fit a finish is very nice and the slight button rattle is a non issue for me and I'm liking the hand feel. Sorry, I gotta go now and do some pretend vaping on it .

 

[Squonk]

I've had mine up and running for a few days now and I really like it. The only question I have is regarding battery life. I have the Samsung 25R Green that I've been charging via the pass through. I've been vaping at .5ohm single coil around 25 watts(heavy) and the batts. are lasting around 10-12 hours. Is this typical?

 

[Ruben]

I bought one when my IPV4 gave up its ghost. For the price, $35usd, it's almost unbeatable. Obviously is doesn't have a lot of features but i actually like the simple UI that eleaf uses on the Istick series.

 

[Rhyno636]

Yeah, I'm not too impressed with battery life either. Its because they are run parallel and not in series. They are parallel so they are able to be charged via usb.

Thanks for the reply. I was concerned because my Istick 50 was lasting all day when I first got it and all the stories that people are getting 2-3 days on a charge with the 100w. I guess I'll have to break down and buy a couple more batts. and a charger. Hey for $32. I'm happy. I don't need all the bells and whistles, I just wanted a Mod that fires fast and the 100w does.

 

[mkhilario]

Yeah the battery is somewhat underwhelming for a dual batt. I was hoping for double the battery life of my Subox Mini, but it is more like 1.5. Still, I have so far always got to the end of the day without charging.
Edit: For clarity, I am vaping it at an average of 22 w, 3.9v.

 

[Mike H.]

Anyone getting 2 or 3 days out of a battery might vape at 7 to 10 watts and go through 1 tank of ejuice a day..lol

I vape at 27.4 watts (or 3.7v) on a dual .5 ohm Orchid tank...im getting about a half a day with mostly constant vaping at home or about 4 full tanks worth (16ml)...5 to 6 second puffs.

 

[JColt]

I just got 1 black and 1 silver in. Black one all tanks sit great. Just a hair gap which I like and sits straight. My silver one has a fairly good sized gap and slightly tilted but no fluctuating ohms. More hassle to return then it's worth though. Battery life on black one was great. Just started on silver. Both feel solid and I love the doors. Not bad for $32.

 

[CrazyChef]

I got mine (in silver) a few days ago, with a couple of Samsung 25R's. I've been using it at 85W with my Tobeco Turbo V2 and (so far) it's working great!
