iStick question

[Pacer]

Ok so got my first one today from Sadie, full battery so away I go, it’s great no problems at all. The Provari / Sigelei /Evic & all my other mods will now be used as dust collectors.

My question is where is the vent hole for the battery it looks like a fully sealed unit, unlike my Provari or Evic all have vent holes… One thing I've always been told is never buy a mod without a vent!!! I would assume I'm missing something on this point as all the threads on here it isn't mentioned.

There is some venting through the USB, you could take the bottom off and drill another hole, I may do so myself now you mention it.

USB venting should be ok, just took the atty off mine and blew through the USB and air was coming out through the sides of the buttons! So for good measure, blew on the up/down button area, and sure enough there was a draught coming from the usb slot.

Edit : istickys may NOT be completely waterproof.

VapingBad if you do please let me know where on the bottom, and how big please.

Many thanks Davetherayon

is iStick Li-po?

If so, that could have a bearing here.

???

[davetherayon]

It has to be djs, to be that small and have so much battery capacity. But think of all those folk who've been tooting happily on itastes for ages (admittedly with a much chunkier battery).

EDIT : I'm full of crap. On VTTV the other week Dave Dorn took one apart, and it has a built in 18650.

Oh, it does? So much for my theory then.

Li-pos are less likely to explode, not that I'm an expert or nuffin'

You drop a Li Po though and its pretty much guaranteed to be bust - I always, always, always have a very tight grip on my Vaporshark

I not that worried so don't know if it will be any-time soon or even ever, but as near to where the battery is that is not blocked on the inside, 2 x 1 or 1.5 mm holes between the botom of the battery and USB, I was origionally thinking a 3 mm hole where the bottom of the battery is, but it looks like there is foam inside that will block this. I don't know what would be enough, so you will have to decide for yourself, sorry.  Good picks on DiscoDes's thread here.
