Istick 60W kit or Evic VT mini TC?

[conanthewarrior]

I bet you'd like to see my collection of currently 57 (and growing) RDAs. I won't take a picture, unless they are displayed properly. However, every time, I plan on finally building a rack for my RDAs, I recount my RDAs, and it's back to the drawing board.

Wow. My collection is not that big-but I hope to come close eventually. I don't know why-but there is something I find great pleasure in, in receiving a new mod/tank, and using it to test for a while till I know how to use it properly. Then it goes beside my other mods-If I am honest nearly all my mods get some use during the day, I can't just settle on one-that is unless I go out. Short journeys are the Sig 75 or the IPV D2, longer journeys either the Sig 150 or the sig 150TC. The Xcube I like to keep pristine, so use that one at home mostly.

Big up the huge collection @Neunerball

I gave all mine to people that smoked to get them off the cigs if it were not for that I would a huge amount too. I can not vape them all anyway. They would just sit and waste. I have four left and already have two people I can give to.

@Neunerball @conanthewarrior You guys have some severe shineyitis LOL I love it more power to you. My wife thinks I have a severe case having collected only 6 mods and10 tanks in the 5 months since I quit cigs and started vaping. Would love to try many more but I'm trying to control my impulses.

I've got to help the economy somehow, and spend the money saved by not smoking.
And I hate to go to the mailbox and there's nothing for me in it, but my wife's magazines.

Got it and updated it within 5 minutes! Can't wait to get home and try that dual I built.

iStick 60TC is back in stock at ecig.com for like 43 bucks shipped...not bad for the mod with a nice tank and 3 coils included.

I like my Joyetech eVic VTC Mini better

Anyone know where to buy just an iStick TC60W by itself .... without the tank? I checked both Gearbest and Fasttech, and both those places are just taking pre-orders.

And to "georgemeadal" ... Why do you like your eVic VTC better?

VapeNW has the IStick 60w for $29.00 +SH

Here ya go: sweet-vapes.com/istick-60w-tc-base.html

 

[San Miguel]

ChrisL ..... Thanks for the info.

29 bucks plus 5 bucks for shipping is a pretty good deal.

BTW ... VapeNW had a discount code for 1st time shoppers, but it didn't work for me.

 

[San Miguel]

vujim ..... Thanks for the link, but unfortunately Sweet-Vapes price is $34.95 plus shipping

 

[wally]

The melo 2 is very good.

 

[San Miguel]

I already have an authentic Kayfun Lite-Plus and a Lemo 2 along with a couple other atomizers, so I really don't need another one (at least not an atty that you need to buy coil heads for).

I guess I am more into RBAs.

Hi, I like my eVic VTC better for a few reasons.
1) slightly smaller and just prefer the box shape. feels more solid in my hand.
2) eVic screen and button layout is much easier and intuitive.
3) the eVic is firmware up-gradable and since I did the update I have 75Watts and Stainless Steel TC as well.
4) eVic VCT battery life seems much better: example - using the same battery/tank/Ni200 coil I can vape around 15 hours vs 11 or 12 hours.
5) iStick seems under powered compared to the eVic: example- 450F at 40watts with Ni200 coil the eVic gives a warm flavorful vape but with the iStick at 40watts, I have to bump the temp up to 520F to get the same vape. I suspect this is why the battery doesn't seem to last as long.
6) eVic charge port is in a better location for me.

Thanks George .....

I'm also on the market for a smallish tc device. I had the DNA 200, but the battery woes. My issue is most devices stop at 50 joules. That's not enough heat for me. I like the sigelei 75, but reviews are saying it tears thru batteries. Now I didn't know the evic mini has a 75 watt update. That's kinda a game changer. But sigelei is making a plus version of the 75 watter that take 26650s. Another game changer. I need advice. I want at least 75 joules, because that's what I used on the dna. I'll take a bigger device if I does that and more.

You are a man after my own heart. I cannot resist anything new. I'm picking up the new Evic VTC tomorrow - I have tried it and like it - to put my new aromamizer black tank on ( black VTC of course). Now I thought I had a lot of mechs, tanks, regulated devices. In fact I have one for ever pricey. That said I absolutely know where you are coming from.

Looking at the Istick and Evic I would never buy another Istick. I have had nothing but issues with their products. They are okay for awhile and then they break down without fail. I looked the Evic over closely - was allowed to vape it - a white one with white kanger sub tank RBA - and looked great, felt nice in my hand and vaped particularly well. By this I mean that the response when hitting the firing button was instantaneous. No lag and it seemed proper power. On the Isticks I often hit the button but feel the full power does not kick in immediately.

I also own the Sigelei 75 watt and find I eat through the batteries very fast. I'm told the Evic is better. I like that it can be upgraded on a MAC! Screw Escribe and windows. I have the VT 200 and need to borrow a PC to adjust it. I love an upgradeable device. I probably will never use 75 watts on it but I have the option. I also like the finish and the battery magnets - easy to swap out and no rattle. I'll post more impressions after I use it a few days but I'm pretty sure I'll be happy. As for battery life on my VT200 - well I have a bellus tank on top vaping at 40 watts and I've had no issues what-so-ever. This is the HCigar and I've read they have had issues. I've had none at all. I went online and changed the life to 14 some odd hours on Escribe. It's been fine.

When you get your VTC Mini, make sure to upgrade the firmware to v2.0, besides having a 75W mod, it has TC for SS coils as well.

 

[PaulS]

Planning on it. The Crown has new SS coils at .5 ohms.

I'm hella happy I picked the eVic over anything else. Now I need to get more wire to build with. Damn progress of my habit.

And SS 0.25 Ohm as well.

I need to find a good place for getting SS wire on a spool of 50'-100'. At the moment, I have some Gplat wire. However, it's not worth it's price.

 

[conanthewarrior]

A bit annoying-I couldn't actually afford it this fortnight as I had to buy my little cousins present, plus my gym membership. It will be nearer the end of the month I get the EVIC VT mini, I decided.

BUT-my DNA200 got repaired by Evolv and shipped out today-so hopefully in a week I will have it back to use. Evolv got the device TODAY, repaired it, and shipped it out, all in ONE day.

That is the best customer service I have ever had. They have given me a USPS tracking number, last time I got something from the USA it took a week, so I guess next week I will be vaping my DNA200 again with my brand new, perfectly balanced, 11.31 arrival voltage battery pack .

I have a DNA200 on my wish list. I'm planning on getting the Whiteout DNA by Cloudmaker.

I doubt my b&m has any nickel. They seem to be more aimed towards newbies (aka easy marks) and mech builders.

Ni200 wire is easy to find online. SS wire isn't (yet). I'm looking for 316L wire.

316L is on ft but I been looking for 403 its said to be best for tc. But ill prob have to go with 303 also said to be better in tc than 316L.

I'll see, how the 316L holds up. I found a place that had UD 316L wire in stock.

I think I found my mod

I'm too impatient. That's the only thing I really get from there aside from a bottle of unflavored. I stopped in tonight and they have it 3 feet of 26g for $1.50. Also, they have a flavor I was turned into. Epic. It's a toffee butterscotch.

I want that crown bad but I dunno if it would scratch the surface on this evic.

No, it doesn't scratch the surface. I have two Crown, and other RTA, and I'm switching tanks throughout the day.

 

[snake94115]

I'd go with the eVic VTC mini it has an easier to read screen.

 

[Bean8379]

Hmm, I did want to purchase another device for the collection this weekend-and seeing as its the missus favourite colour, thought it could get her into TC.

I will look around more, and make my mind up by Saturday. It seems the Evic is more favoured though-but the included tank is not all that. TBH I probably would only think of the included tank as a bonus and use another of my various tanks with it.

BUT, the Sigelei 200W fushcia. That is another very tempting offering-I understand it is the same chip as on the snowwolf, and I was thinking of getting one of them. If I can get the same chip, in a simpler styled housing for less, like the Sig 200 fuschia-that seems like a good idea.

Why do you need to get her into TC? Is she not happy with her vape now?
