With my iStick 20w, the box clearly said wall adapter but got nada on it...
Quick, call joe duffy on liveline...

if no adapter use samsung tablet or phone charger cable same connection at least on 20w version,since at least them ones have proper irish socket,where most that i encountered are useless since they are eu standard ones.Either way you should of gotten one with the kit,unless there are options like just battery (no charger included) seen some such ads before,since it saves couple $ for sellers and buyers,since some people dont have need for one,as most vapers usually develop quite collections of cables if vaping for longer times

I suppose I'm selling ultimately on size.
No it's not much bigger than the 20w, but in the hand it's too bulky for me compared to the 20w.
I should have just gone for the 30w as I don't really like the Atlantis and don't really need 50w!
I find the warm vapour from the Atlantis unpleasant
and I realised I am sort of happy with my silo, silo lite & nautilus tanks.0 -

I got my missus the 20w [in pink!] a few months back. I was still using my old knackered Vamo and a Nautilus, and thought there was nothing like it for the price ... after trying her set up here and there over a few weeks I started to feel like the Vamo was, well, a bit crap! Even at lower wattage, her wee iStick was giving a better hit with the same tank. It might be my imagination, but juices even tasted better! Reckon my Vamo is just all over the place, and lying about what power it's at.
Anyway, yesterday I finally took the plunge and bought the 50w iStick, and an Atlantis. All I can say is ... wow!. I feel like I'm experiencing all over again [vaping 2 year now] but with something 100 times better than what I started out on.
I wanted something simple, powerful, long lasting battery-wise, that would introduce me to a more powerful, better tasting vape, without having to do builds [I'm lazy like that] that was pocket friendly and looked cool, not OTT, just ... cool - and I wanted it for less than €100. Not much to ask huh? Well, I got it. I think it's amazing. The Atlantis is the best 'clearo' I've ever tried, and I've been pushing it, not a gurgle or dry hit, not once, and the flavour is great [I'm running it with the 0.5 ohm coil, with a high VG juice at 35-40w, largest air ... 'hole' on the tank] And the iStick itself has only been hooked up to the laptop for pass through charging here and there, since yesterday morning, and still on full batt.
Oh, and I got it in black ... there wasn't a pink in stock :P
One thing I noticed, the Atlantis, for anyone interested, might not take a lot of juice, but I have vaped/sucked-the-life-out-of-juice in it right to the bottom, till it was almost bone dry, and still didn't get any burnt hits! Just make sure the holes for wicking are within the spaces in the castle shaped cut-outs and you're good to suck it dry.0 -

Great review Thecageyone. Quick question from a relative newbie, is the Atlantis a sub-ohm tank? If so, what are the differences between "ordinary" vaping and using the Atlantis (I use the mini nautilus)?0 -
Yup, it's a sub-ohm tank, the coils I got with are both 0.5 ohm. I'm certainly no expert, all I know is these sub ohm coils allow you to push the wattage/voltage well beyond the norm, and produce a lot more vapour. You're talking clouds of creamy white here. It has 4 select-able air holes/slots, the largest one allowing tonnes of airflow, combined with the high wattage output you burn up a lot of juice per inhale, and you're chugging out plumes very quickly - best way I can describe it The flavour is much better too, very comparable to a dripping atty, if you've ever tried one?
I was using the standard Nautilus and the mini, in around 10-12w beforehand. And I thought they were pretty good. But this is a step above. I'm trying the same juices I had in the nauty tanks, and it's like re-experiencing them all over again, only much better!0 -

If I had any reservations about the effects of vaping, I wouldn't vape, simple. Also, nobody says you have to blow clouds! It's a novelty for sure, I'm not huge on it either. But with the likes of the Atlantis, you can still close it up to the smallest hole, and do your normal mouth to lung inhales, and it's just like a decent, standard tank .... with better flavour! I'll be sticking around the 30w mark, it seems to be just fine for me with these 0.5 ohm coils. I get great flavour, good TH .. and IF I so please, I can blow clouds in the comfort of my own home, not bothering anybody I certainly wouldn't be doing that out and about. The only downside I see for going beyond say 40w ... is how fast these tanks drink up your juice. Bit of self management is all it takes to get the best from them all round.
The iStick 30w would have been enough for my needs, but I don't like the top, how they've compensated for bigger tanks, like you say. And the 50w was only €20 more.0 -

Isn't vaping banned in parts of Oz? He should work in advocacy, could be the spokesman - meet politicians, appear on radio etc.
Back on topic, Busardo gave the 50w iStick a very good review, especially considering he can really hold back on praising some Chinese devices imo. He doesn't seem to overly emphasise that this is a $50 device. If someone told me 6 months ago you could get something like this for what I paid for my first ego set up...:eek:
I paid more on smokegreens than I have on the iStick + Atlantis + recent juices, shocking! I knew nothing back then, and thought smokegreen cig-a-likes were all there was. I was buying bunches of packets of extra filters every week because the flavour was gone after an hour on each, and spare batts, as they'd only last about 2hrs at best, and I got a bunch of dud ones in that! Then I moved to the ego-C, again, spent way too much on that kit + spares + terrible juices at the time [there was a LT of bad juices about, with so many experimenting]
Saw PB's review, very long winded, as he does, but in the end he seems to really like it. Also saw reviews from other usual suspects and nobody had anything bad to say0 -
