bcartervol98 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Ok now I get it. No I am not subohming and still use my Davide with 1.8 singles but this thing is cool. Things have come a long way since my Vamo V3 lol. Used it since this morning and battery hasn't dropped at all that I can tell and the ohms law conversion on the screen is pretty badass. I'm on board with this one lol. Fits in the palm and pocket rather nicely as well. Tam, jasonculp and Tug 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 If it can turn a hard core Spinner user like you B, it must be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 It's mainly the battery life but the other features are cool too. Once I held a friends at work and saw it was self contained and no 18650s to mess with I had to get my wife and I one. Already gave my daughter two of my Spinner 2s, I love em but don't need 12 anymore. The wife is still on the fence with hers mainly because of weight but I think she will come around. I hope so I'm not using a pink one haha. Compenstine and Earthling789 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I didn't much care for the pink one so I bought a wrap... Then, I bought another iStick 50W and bought another wrap, then another and another... I really like the versatility the wraps give and I'm not stuck with one color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Haha, I was about to suggest a wrap for the pink one... but then again... what's wrong with pink? (other than the fact the iStick pink is rather "electric", lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcartervol98 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 She loves the color lol. I mean if she bails and decided to not use it I'm not carrying a pink battery haha. I got a leather case for mine with a lanyard for the boat mainly and ordered a couple different silicone cases for protection against my wife who drops her ecig at least twice a week 24 hours later battery still has not moved from full.

Compenstine Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm curious how many Spinners you would have gone through in the same time as one full use of the IStick battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Comp I am going to guess 3? Thing is KPT coils have always read high on every meter I have put them on. 1.8s are 2.0-2.1 etc... From 7.4-7.7w still equates the same voltage telling me this is more consistent power even at different scales within the same voltage. The way I vape I will probably plug in at bedtime every other night but I bet I could get 3 days minimum the way I vape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 You're almost there,B! Now we need to get you into a sub ohm tank or Kanger Subtank and then you'll be up to date on the vape gear lol.I want the blue Istick 50 really bad,I'll pull the trigger on one eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Almost there lol. After over two years I am there brotha. I will never subohm I can guarantee that. I don't even like 1.5s and like that the 1.8s are wrapped a little higher. 2.0 is the sweet spot for me. I do not want more vapor my VG liquid I use already makes more than I want but dayumm it's good! The main appeal of this one is the battery. Been vaping almost 36 hours and it has barely moved. That's just sick lol. No more cases of batteries. Once I found out this was a self contained battery I was sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gag8tor Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I used to say the same thing. Now it's "I'll never go below .4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) I used to say the same thing. Now it's "I'll never go below .4" I think the difference for me is I am fundamentally against subohming in public and since I spend most of my life in public areas and keep it simple it's just not for me. I just ordered 10 cases of 1.8ohm KPT coils (500 coils) because my supplier let me know they may stop carrying them in order to carry the organic cotton version instead which are $3 more a box. Like I said I could have bought a 10w Istick as I have set it at 7.4w and locked it and will probably never change that setting. Its the battery life vs the cost that appealed to me lol. almost 48 hours after the first fire and battery is still at close to 90% best I can tell lol.

Compenstine Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Not trying to sell you on it, but you can tone down the watts or voltage and not chuck clouds with a sub ohm tank setup B. I think you still may find that it is still to hot for you though. You also have the higher cost of coils as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Comp brings up a good point... nothing says you have to go 50W+ on a sub-tank set-up... but even at lower Wattages, my Arctic tank (25W @ 0.2 Ohms) was too hot for my preferences. I switched to 1.2 Ohm coils (and 15-25W), and it performs like an Aerotank on steroids (airflow-wise). But for the cost of coils, I'll happily stick with my Kanger BCC and BDC tanks and coils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) My grandpa once said "If it ain't broke don't fix it". I mean I dig the unit a lot and my wife has finally decided she loves hers but my vape is perfect for me with this setup. The guy at work also uses some sort of sub tank and it was wayyy too warm when I tried his. It was then though that I felt the way it felt in my hand and looked at the battery size and decided to make the leap because ease to me is the biggest thing. Whatever is easiest and saves me the most time, money and effort is the way I roll haha Edited May 13, 2015 by bcartervol98 Compenstine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I like my Kanger sub tank, but my go to is a 1.2 - 0.9 coil in my Kayfun. I have to agree with both B and Earthling that anything below that is just to warm for my vape style and liking. Earthling789 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 48 hours later and still at least 75% of battery left. 😀😀 Tam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcartervol98 Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Ok now I just want to see how long this thing will last. Started using it Monday afternoon and still well over 50%. Insane! Definitely the best buy I have made in my over two years of vaping hands down. No more unscrewing tanks to charge and unless I have a serious brainfart or mechanical breakdown I cannot imagine ever killing it lol. First pass thru I have ever owned too kinda killer to be able to use it while it charges once I finally have to plug it in.
