Eleaf unveil 30w and 50w isticks.

[sleedale]

Are the new versions rms? It's my main gripe with the istick, it seems to want to fry coils even at low, low power

[lexs1411]

battery life would be the only thing I would be interested in but I think the 50w would be to big for me.
Have had no problems with the thread on the isticks so I think I am happy with what I have.Plus I need to stop spending.

sleedale have a look at this thread over on UKV for iStick re-calibration.......several people seem to think it works

Estimated shipping date of iStick 30w is Jan, 15th, and Jan, 25th for iStick 50W.

Is there still an aaec discount?

Thank you Greigster, I'll try doing just that next time it cooks a coil for no apparent reason. My other grip is the 510 connection having to lift the pin but the new version addresses that. Don't need 30 or 50 watts, but a spring pin and good threads would be good.

I just tried that on the scope, it didn`t appear to make any difference to the before and after results on mine, but mine may have been okay, never really suffered from that problem. Maybe only works if it was bad when new or has drifted over time.

I have just tested it and it doesn't work for me, I posted the following over there:

Didn't work @ 2 ohm, tried going up and down 3 times and measured on oscilloscope twice
R = 2.0
Screen: P= 4.5 W, V= 3.0 V, R = 2.0 ohm

Measured
V_pk = 5.9375 V, T = 20.7 ms, T_on = 11.09 ms

DC = 11.09 ms / 20.7 ms = 0.5357
V_rms = 5.9375 sqrt( 0.5357 ) = 4.3457 V
P_rms = (4.3457 * 4.3457) / 2 = 9.4426 W

Still way out

Soz guys, just thought it was worth trying for those that have problems. I am lucky as I have two iSticks both of which have not missed a beat.

Who knows, it may work on some, just not mine

I just got this response from scritti on UKV to my post and it was not a fix for over powering at all, just for faulty iSticks.

I don't think this actually "fixes" the infamous overpowering issue, it's just a fix (if true) for people with genuinely faulty iSticks who are getting burnt hits even on the lowest settings by resetting the device to the factory settings.

Or something.

A lot of people are reporting it's solved their problem at any rate.

Thought I was going mad, every other day Im having to replace the dual coil in my Kanger Mega as it keeps burning out, never happens on the other batteries just this eleaf thingy. Came on here to ask if I was using it wrong, its only ever at the lowest setting of 3.0v.
So I see others are having this issue to, is it a faulty batch or just a faulty product?

Cc is having the same problems. Kanger heads only lasting 2 days. Have told her to use her mvp for now and see how long the coils last on that.
I will try the reset thing tonight as well and see if that helps.
I have the smart version of the istick coming from fasttech so will be interesting to see if that has the same issues.
