Far from impressed with the istick 100tc

[Lee]

Just had a fun and games strip down on my istick 100tc

Changed tank and it was showing no atomizer

Fair enough, flip lock switch since you cant turn them off and prod the 510 centre pin

Lots of sparks and the pin pushed down

Found out how to strip the damn thing down.

The 510 pin is not sprung loaded and can be pushed out, if you push it down

Not a mod I would recommend to anyone for the build quality

Glad I did not get one, thanks for the info Lee

Nice looking units and nice in the hand
Good idea of being able to run them as single or double battery.

And I just found you can 5 click them on and off

But the 510 centre pin is the killer

[Get Off My Cloud]

The 510 on mine is spring loaded, it's pretty stiff though and the throw is only about 2mm.

My bowels were the opposite to your 510 after the spark display
There was a lot of unwanted movement

[jtc]

Oh dear I've got one of them
Ain't used it yet and now I'm not sure I want to

[mikedidthis]

Yep, 510 is spring loaded on mine as well. Maybe send it back as RMA and get a replacement.


I think its a great little device. Only issues so far is the paint work and the stiff lock switch, but I believe they all suffer from that.

My goto mod, is my rx200

The istick seems extra good on battery life
Grip fire, instead of the button fire

Just the 510 seems to be the weak point

I had to pop out the screws in both battery compartments
Remove the battery compartments from the bottom, then gently work up the sides
They clip in at the top
Plus you have the knobbly bits you have to push down and get them over
If the pcb moves, you play the game of hunt the button
The grip button is also spring loaded and the grip catch switch, is a little bit of plastic
Lots of fun games you get to endure
