Istick and Itaste

[Greeny1210]

I think I may have been bitten by the bug as seeing loads of things that sound great but one thing I'd like to know is what the difference is between the Isticck which seems very popular and this myepack.co.uk/itaste-mvp-v2-0-black.html
they look similar but the Itaste comes with a tank/clearo so what are the differences and advantages ?

would I be better with the itaste or istick and separate tank (if so what would be recommended, as in what will fit, look decent and most importantly give best perfomance? hearing protanks, nautius (sp) and a few others

also how do these compare to this which I am using at the moment myepack.co.uk/kits/kanger-emow-mega-kit.html


sorry for all the questions guys just a bit ???

The mvp is far larger than the istick, probably double? the mvp has slightly more battery life, its 2600 as opposed to the 2200mAh istick.

Also the older mvp version2 goes up to 11watts whereas the istick goes up to 20 (and is generally overpowered) Both are charged via a micro usb connector but the mvp can be used to recharge other things, like your phone, in an emergency.

Also the mvp has a native ego connector but can use 510 with a beauty ring and the istick has a native 510 connector and comes with an ego adapter have I left you more confused.....

Whoa... Pepperty

That is an A* in e-cig speak. I graduate you to a degree in concise language too. Bravo...

I think my brain just melted a little bit

Go Pepperty!

[Pepperty]

yup! i melted my own little brain there too its surprising how much info I've accidentally absorbed? maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks ???
Mind you I may have mixed my 'mahs' and my 'ohms' and i'm rather bad with numbers?..... dont even try me on wattages

[Greeny1210]

cheers though mate, Guess the Istick is the way to go then?

Now just to choose which of the seemingly 7 millions clearos/tanks to go with it

Any suggestions ?

[chykensa]

For the iStick, you have a choice IMHO - Mini Nautilus (although the full size Nautilus doesn't look too bad) or the Kanger Aerotank Mega. If you are already using Kanger heads as I am, the Aerotank makes sense otherwise you'll need to stock up on a new format of atty head, and the Nautilus are not quite so easy to rebuild (to the extent that I haven't even tried yet!).

[dreamylittledream]

Mini nautilus is the ideal companion for an istick

Edit: dang chykensa beat me to it.

The nautilus coils are a doddle to rebuild if you can drill out the wickings holes to 2mm - far easier to fit the coil and bung than on a kanger head.  @smiffee sent me a few of his and thats all I'm using now - and its not that tricky to drill out the holes so I now have quite the collection (see I knew there was a reason why I didn't throw used BVC heads away lol)

[chykensa]

Hmm dreamylittledream - once my first coil fails, I must get out my magnifying glass and surgical tools and dissect one, all in the name of research

Its actually relatively straight forward once you see one done.

Basically you strip the coil and all the filler stuff out of a used BVC coil, find the wicking holes that are open (although there are 4 on the head, only two are actually open) and drill both of those out with a 2mm drill bit.  Then its just a case of popping a micro coil up the bottom of the head, catching it with a filling needle and replacing the bung and pin and trimming the wires.  Thread some cotton through the drilled hole and coil and you are good to go.

It can't be that tricky because I managed it and my rebuilding skills are far from 'mad' lol

OK a little bit more of my brain has melted reading that

[Q]

Greeny1210 just to add to your confusion DONT buy an MVP2 at the moment...
The new MVP20 is due in the shops/eshops VERY soon and it will mean the price of the OLD MVP2 will have to drop, so then your choice will be:
istick - 20watts, smaller size, slightly shorter battery life
MVP2 - 11watts, larger than istick, slightly longer battery life, facility to recharge your phone from the mod. (price should be dropping)
MVP20 - 20watts, slightly larger again

oldies know what I'm going to say

There are only 10 types of people in the world - magneto vapers or nemesis vapers.

Make that 11 - VTR vapers as well

[Dave]

I'd go for an istick, had mine for 3 weeks now and its the dogs danglies

So good I traded my MVP V2 yesterday as it had become redundant

Cheers Dave
