Eleaf iStick (availability, reviews etc.)

Used one yesterday at vapefest, a friend bought one. Decent vape off of it. Can't say much except that I will be getting one when I get paid next month!

Yeah, as I said in another thread, I was worried about the warmth since it's bottom coil

Going to have a look for something similar with a top coil. I've a ton of wick and wire here, so I should be able to find a solid rebuildable that will sit well on the iStick.

Yeah I'm a fan of the kanger t2 type warm vape as well but the amount of vape and flavour of the mini easily make up for it.

I've zero experience with rebuildables, but maybe they'd be a better option for you.

Have had one for a month and a half now and love the thing !

As was already said you get over 2 days without charging which is brilliant, no more pockets full of spare batteries ! :pac:

I shall be buying a second one as a backup when payday comes

Another thumbs up for the iStick.

For me at least at 11w compared to the MVP2, it seems to give more power. Coupled with its small size and battery life it is a winner. I also want a second one

got mine today from VapeFreaks,the price was a bit steep,but given that every place was sold out and vapefest weekend,ordered Saturday.Also got mail that they didnt have color i wanted was going for black,so either refund or red one,took the red as couldn't bare waiting anymore,so got a deal to get it delivered by fastway,also pack of coils for aerotank and couple bottles of 30mil eliquid-so consider it a fair deal.

Now color is red so not so appealing to bring it outside,but since i don't bother vaping anymore outside or while working its not an issue.Also might get some stickerbombing vinyl to customize it a bit in future

Screen is impressive.And size is totally unreal compared to using VTR for last 6months or so.

Downside-need proper tank or advice,since my aero is first gen it can take new coils,but i always only manage to get 1.8-2.0omh ones,so basically cant go above 3.4v and 6-7 watts before getting dry hits-dunno should i change to different tank like nautilus or trying to get hold of 1.5-1.2 omh coils-since never had a chance to go above 8watts for any clouds without choking on burnt taste.

Also power output is as stated goes full blast once fired,since im chain vaping most the time,i can feel heat built up on inhaling after couple vapes-given that my tank is bottom coil fed.

Overal thumbs up for vapefreaks on making it right on my side,and if this device will last me 6 months ill be more then happy,as it seems its perfect combo given battery 2200Mah strength size of a zip lighter and oled screen with enough control-minus few technical glitches that i imagine will be fixed in future from youtube reviews.

Since i was sick of charging my batteries and given costs of liquid i use,and coils-hopefully well see more devices like that.

I've had it a day now and I am very impressed. Small form factor and the battery isn't even half way used yet. Normally, by this time, I'd be switching to my 3rd 18350 battery. I've had zero miss fires. Aside from the understated voltage, wattage that the display states, this yoke vapes great. Just dumb down the volts/watts on what it displays and what you feel that it should be.

I normally vape at 3.7 volts, as this is what the mechanical mod outputs. With the iStick, I find that setting it to 3 volts, I am getting the same type of output, but unlike the mechanicals, it's consistent.

Highly recommend one of these.

Yeah haven't used anything else since I got the istick.

Hi all,

I'm a very loyal user of the MVP 2. I find it unbeatable battery wise, anywhere from 3-5 days off one charge, sturdy, reliable, never leaks.

Had the same one for 9 months now, only use that.

Anyone have any pros for the istick over this? whats better about it/ is it the same at the end of the day.

Cheers

I sat into my car last week with the mvp2 and a aspire maxi clearomiser attached in my back pocket. It was about 10 minutes and about 2 or 3 miles later hen i realized what Id done - Absolutely no issues, took it out and started vaping away.

I challenge anyone to try this with the istick - I cant see it working out too well - but i remain to be proven wrong.

Im holding out for the MVP3 - Its due in the next couple of months i think

Hi Trond,

Thanks for your feedback on our price for the eLeaf iStick in purplebox vapours. Believe me I have no intention of taking the piss with the price I have had to set for the device in store.

Before I set a price I do extensive research in to what other sellers are pricing items at – some I can beat, some I can match and some I just can’t. The eLeaf fell into the latter category.

Overheads for a B&M store in the centre of town are very expensive and with one shop I don’t yet having a bulk buying stick to wave at suppliers. So buy the time I get the eLeaf on to the shelf €54 seemed a fair price for the kit with a free e-juice.

However, I take pride in the fact that at purplebox I do listen to customer feedback and try my best to react and admit where I may have gone wrong. So with that in mind, I’ll have a look at the price for the eLeaf and see if I can get it down a touch - and hey I can always go a few days without eating

So once again thanks for the feedback - and do call in to talk to me in person and share any thoughts on how we're doing.
Regards
Steve Barrett

Cheers for the reply Steve. Ive actually bought a few things in your shop and will continue to do so in future. My comment was based on seeing the exact same kit for €40 on another Irish site.

Anyone want to tell me if the istick takes ego threaded clearos?

Want to get one for my sister, but she won't use anything other than aspire ce5s :pac:

It comes with an adapter that you can use.

I'm using a Nautilus, just ordered an istick kit from ESI, istick, mini Nautilus, 7mls sample juice & 5 bvc coils, with the boards discount came to €66.40 delivered, thought that was pretty good, had intended picking up a mini Nautilus anyway in the near future

I assumed he was joking, rather than being cheeky.

Absolutely. You only have to talk to Steve and you'll see he's got that wry Scouse sense of humour!
I feel for B&M stores in Dublin, especially Steve in Temple Bar, that must cost a fking fortune to lease that store. You'd want a sideline selling drugs to make ends meet.

Aren't all vendors selling drugs already?

Lol.

Although hmmm....must ask to see the under the counter selection in future.....

I can say what I want buddy. I'm aware that he has overheads and I sympathise with that. That's why I said:

"I too am happy to pay a little over the odds for the service and convenience. Obviously you can try the various liquids and see various items in person. It's good."

I took umbrage with what seemed like him trying to illicit sympathy. He is running a business which is oriented to turn profit. He is not doing it solely out of the goodness of his heart though he may be a great guy and may be furthering the interests of vapers. Someone has since pointed out he has an offbeat sense of humour and I accepted that.

So, feck off.

I have also recommended to various posters here that they check out his shop to aid their journey into vaping. Your ire is misplaced.

Brilliant that.

Thought I was on UKV for a second there.
