Last weekend, when my wife was visiting her Mom in the hospital, she brought her some soup. IDK how it happened (cuz' I wasn't there to see it), but she managed to spill ALOT of soup on to her iStick 50. She brought it home and said...."I think it's done!?" I checked it, and it was fried. That's when I told her...."well.....it looks like you're getting one of your birthday gifts early". So, a new iStick 40w TC is what she's using now. The fire button is better on the 40.....but she's going through a complete charge before the day is over. So now, she has my iStick 50 as a backup too....(I really didn't use it much since I've got a iPV4, Ijoy Asolo, and a iStick 100w in rotation). Quiet in the house ATM, so....I'm setting up her other B-day gift.....a new smartphone. IDK if I can wait til' Tuesday to give it to her though, cuz' her current "dumbphone" is driving her crazy. We'll see.
