iStick has ruined my vape-sperience.

[djs]

Oh no.

Spoiled by the infinite power of the pocket rocket, nothing is seemingly vaping well on Spinners and iTasteVV. Even Mr MVP seems unable to pack much punch with his whopping battery. The evic lies unloved in the corner and a 'kicked' Nemesis needs a good kicking.

Too much power... I always said it would lead to trouble.

Yep, same as my girlfriend, her wattage has gone up on her I taste v3 after using the I stick. There is one juice I can't vape on the istick with a 1.8ohm coil. Do like the punch on other juices though.

I have the same problem as you djs - everything other than the istick has been banished to my vape cupboard, even my beloved VTR

Yesterday arrived 4 x 18650 batteries from FT literally shipped by boat ordered months ago for the VTR, I've not even bothered to take them out of their boxes

My missus istick arrived this morning and I have been sneaking toots on it all day. My ipv2 is very sad about this. I must order a blue one right now I think.....

Desperate.

I feel your pain.

The VTR has some oomph though? or is it another not-really-11W device?

[jmw2309]

VTR is 15w. I loved mine but moved it on when more powerful things arrived. Kinda wish I kept it as it looked cool. Just didn't like being restricted to smaller diameter attys.

You are on that slippery slope  icon_shoppingm

The istick with a unicoiled aerotank @1.7ohm/7.5w is kicking the arse of my ipv2 with squape @1.4ohm/15w with the same juice in it......:rolleyes:

Oh yeah, quite right, the VTR does have some oomph, however the istick is so much smaller and lighter that the VTR now feels like a brick in the hand.

Also I could never take the VTR out & about due to the size and weight so had to use the itaste vv/vw whereas I can now take the istick out which has more oomph than the itaste so am very happy about that

I've now got 2 VTR's. I bought the last one as a back-up coz I was sooooo in love with the first one. This 2nd one has never been used (other than to make sure it worked when it arrived). Oh well, I will still keep it coz you never know what will happen in the future with all these regs coming out, and at least you know you would still be able to buy batteries for it

Wooohoooo I've just succumbed and ordered an Istick . I got so envious keep reading all the threads , so why not.............................I'm worth it ...................Sue

It is probably because the Istick uses Mean not RMS and is putting out more power than it is actually set at. That is why when you go back to a device with RMS you need to up the power to get the same vape.

And, conversely, why some new iStick owners complain of a burning taste when setting the stick at the same power as their old devices.

I have the same problem unfortunately, all my other mods seem to be in various corners this is not good. Its the fact that it is so small in the hand, comfortable to hold and packs a punch. I struggle to get the same vape on my other devices with RMS because i haven't the foggiest how high to go and to be honest...cant be asked to find out either lol
