  1. It just took awhile to get it dialed in... much like the subtank mini. Got a question for you, Earthling. On the last refill, I got lazy and didn't change the wick. Now, I'm finding I need to. Badly, lol. Anyway, can I do that even with a full tank of juice just like any other tank or is there something different I need to do?
  2. Although I'm liking the Subtank mini and Russian 91% more and more, my all-time favorite is still the Custom Cisco Spec Hybrid HH.357 atomizer at 2.0 ohm, 100% PG Custom drip shield from Empire Mods 2.5" stainless steel pipe style drip tip Eleaf iStick 50W With way too many toys to choose from, this is still my favorite, dependable set up.
  3. No halo, they keep getting caught in my horns. lol
  4. LOTS! I'm giving away many of my other back ups so I really don't have as many as it may seem. There will be a few iStick 50w that will also be finding new homes.
  5. Got my order for four more iStick 50w in from 101 Vapes today.
  6. For the first two to three tankfuls that I got the Triton working for me (using 1.8 ohm coil on iStick 50W), and chain vaping... it never got hot for me.
  7. I am. As of today's vape mail, I have nine of these things. Can you tell I like them? So far, of the five I've been using every day, I've not had one auto-fire and the threads on my tanks are all fine. There is one Kanger subtank mini, one authentic Russian 91% version 2, and one Anyvape Davide full-sized with an Aerotank airflow control on three of them. One is charging at the moment and the other one has a Custom Cisco Hybrid HH.357 atomizer on it. That said, when I charge them, I never leave them to charge unattended. Tanks or atomizers are all taken off and the iStick is turned off first. With everything I use, I clean the connection to keep it clean and dry frequently and/or when I change tanks or refill, etc.
  8. I chain vape my subtank mini but I'm using a 1.5 ohm stock coil right now, 12 watts with airway mostly restricted on my iStick 50W and the tank doesn't get hot at all. All I get is flavor and lots of vapor.
  9. How do you know that the tests they ran (if they really ran any), are true? You're just taking their word for it or from what's on their website, right? Unless you've seen the facility yourself and conducted empirical tests, how do you know that these results they posted are true and accurate? It's too easy to put numbers out there from (pick your acronym of the week) lab and say these things are true. Until there is some way to get true results from an unbiased source, I'll keep using common sense and my own research, thanks.
  10. But can I eat the apple in the Buick at 0.7 ohms?
  11. If you can get it working, I think you'll be very happy with it.
  12. Yeah, I think I took you waaaaay too literally. lol
  13. So many new TC mods coming out every day, it's hard to figure out which one is favored.
  14. It's only the 20W that has the issues with the wattage. If you switch it to voltage, it's better. We always stress getting back ups of everything. Then, get back ups for your back ups. When you've got those, get back ups of your back up back ups. Seriously, you'll never be sorry to have several back ups. One time, my battery died on me. I got my back up battery. Wouldn't you know it? I'd forgotten to charge it. Got my other back up battery. Dead as a door nail. My fourth back up battery worked just fine. Then, the coil in the tank died. Thankfully, I had more coils with me and made the switch. I was so happy to have had as many back ups as I did because I was out for the day and wouldn't have time to go back home to get more.
  15. That's a safety thing. You can charge it with the tank on or use it while it's charging. I prefer not to take any chances, which is why I keep lots of back ups to use while a different battery is charging. No, I've never had any problems with my iStick 50W, nor have I had any issues with a loose power button. I just don't take chances and try to take all the precautions that I can to make sure I don't. I do not own 20... only 5 with 4 more on its way.
  16. It looks similar to a Kanger Pro Tank long stem single coil but I could be wrong...
  17. How do you know that it's Diketone FREE? Have you had it tested?
  18. You're using an iStick 20W which is notorious for not showing the accurate wattage. Change it over to voltage, that seems to work better. If you're using the 20W at 6 - 8 watts, it's still running hotter than that. Voltage is more accurate. If you put a new coil into your Nautilus, start at the lowest setting and vape. If it's not doing it for you (not producing sufficient vapor, no flavor, etc.), then turn it up a little. Vape. Repeat until you get a slight burnt taste or harsh hit. Turn it down a notch and that should be the sweet spot for that juice. Every juice will have a different sweet spot. Fruit juices seem to like it cooler, bakery flavors seem to need more heat. Don't feel like you have to set your battery at what everyone else is using, vaping is so subjective that what works for me may not be what works for you. If it's any consolation, when I use my Nautilus mini with a 1.8 ohm vertical coil and some fruit flavors, I usually set it at around 3.7 volts or a little lower to get the best vapor and flavor. The iStick 50W works great for me, I've fallen in love with them BUT! you have to be careful to keep the connection part dry and clean. It seems that some people have had it auto fire and get hot/batteries vent because of juice leaking into the connection and into the fire button. Never leave a charging battery unattended, be careful and use common sense and you should be fine. Also, don't charge it with a tank attached. As a noob, I would say you should wait a bit until you know the ropes and get a little more experience in vaping before going the sub-ohm route. Learn to ride a bicycle before you try to drive the Harley. Just my opinion.
  19. Without knowing the brand and model of the tank you have, it's hard to figure out which coils you need.
  20. Only let noobs play with cheap clones and not your authentic Russians. Got it. Sorry your tank was the victim of inexperienced hands. Do they sell the clear center sections? Or can you replace these with a Pyrex one?
  21. Four more Eleaf iStick 50W full kit from 101 Vapes.
  22. If you're using something like a subtank mini with the rebuildable deck and the juice caramelizes on the coil, just remove wick, dry burn gunk off coil, rewick, prime, put back together, wait a few minutes before vaping. Simple.
  23. I've tried stainless steel pipe style, delrin, Pyrex and acrylic 510 drip tips and they all fit, a couple fit better than others but a few tweaks and bigger O-ring fixed that right up.
