Earthling789 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 C R A P ! And I just bought a second iStick 20W... Now you tell me I could have held out for a bigger one, lol
jasonculp Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 I totally understand! I preordered the asMODus... I have been thinking about an eGrip, vaporshark DNA30, cloupor mini, and an MPV 3... So much neat stuff...so little money!
Earthling789 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Tell me about it... in the past month or so, I've purchased two iStick 20W to replace all my eGos, an IPV-mini (which I'm really loving), more Samsung 25r batteries, and a Kayfun V4. This is on top of the mechs I got for Christmas... I've also considered the asMODus Colossal, too, and will still likely pick one of those up in a couple of months (or at least another IPV?). I was getting "battery-poor" in the past couple of months, and now I have plenty again... but I know what you mean... so many shiny things, and so little spare change
Tam Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 C R A P ! And I just bought a second iStick 20W... Now you tell me I could have held out for a bigger one, lol LOL! And no, I don't need (or want) any bigger ones than I have right now, thanks. Earthling789 1
Earthling789 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 No, Tam, my efforts will be best spent making you jealous of my V4 BTW, it should arrive mid-week at the latest... prepare to hear ALL about it, lol Tam 1
Earthling789 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Okay, I've been looking at the 50W model, and I don't think I like the placement of the up/down buttons... If you fire with your finger, you'd have to hold it left-handed to avoid changing settings with your hand... and if you're predominantly right-handed, you'll be forced to fire it with your thumb If I were designing it, I would have left the up/down buttons at the bottom, in-line with the firing button... or at the bottom in-general.

I noticed this too! I don't like the way it is setup. I have been looking at it and the 50watt is probably not going on my list. I might buy a 30watt, but still not sure. I have a 2 of the others (My daily one and one that I am waiting on a 3D printed cap for a spring loaded 510). I have plenty of backups, so I may start looking for somthing higher end for daily use. I am hoping the Colossal fits the bill, if not I may get a VaporShark. I am perfectly happy in the 20 watt range with my delta 19. I am also looking at the eGrip, but need some "real world" feedback.
Earthling789 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I have little need for a 50W device, but if I did, I think I'd drop $ on the Segelei 100W+, and call it done.... or I'd buy a bare chip-set and build a dual-18650 box to suit my style For now, I'll trudge along with my current set-ups And, I'll be waiting for your review on the asMODus Colossal... I see that one, or another IPV-mini in my future....

I see that one, or another IPV-mini in my future.... I have the IPV3 with the 165watt upgrade. It is sitting on my desk disassembled. I just don't have much use for it. I don't drip much any more. It is so huge, I don't like the way it feels in my hand. It might be better with a wrap on it. I have considered reboxing it, but after hours of drawing in sketchup I can't gain much in size due to the length of the board and dual 18650's. I could do it with 18350's but I don't feel safe because of the low amp ratings of 18350's. So I will probably do a magnet upgrade and wrap it...
