Hehehe it's fine to not like something. There is so much out there right now we are spoilt for choice. The most important thing is not to be smoking.



(I still like my two pink ones though)

Well I'm with you as well, it's the first craze that I've managed to resist

Just wait til you see and try one at the vape meet.

my issue with them is the same as an mvp - built-in battery

battery dies, device is done (usually)....still not convinced when you can get a SS vamo v5 for less, and already have a stack of 18650s to feed it

Very true, I learnt the hard way with MVP as well.............great little unit, but now is little more than a paperweight on my desk since powercell passed away.

As for the Istick, if they do decide to release an upgraded unit to give a true power band, decent 510 fitting and replaceable cells then I might just be tempted. (before anyone suggests one of the myriad other boxxy mods that have these features, I'm a tight arsed barsteward finacially carefull individual

No one hates built in batteries more than me, but for £20 it's 20 W regulated, in a excellent form factor and perfect for walking the dog with an Orchid.  Never had a Vamo far too big & heavy, I do have over 40 18650's that will still get plenty of use, 3 xTar chargers and 5 1 A travel charges and 2 powerbanks.  

iSticks are just great value and not the be all and end all.

..and this is why we have such a great range of kit, not everything suits everyone... all get the choice and all are happy as a result I admit, the size of the istick is cracking, just not yet convinced it's for me
