The iStick Basic by Eleaf - HD Slideshow Review

[paulymeatballs]

Hi everyone , a smart new kit from eleaf .

Todays soundtrack is a 2 parter - The first part is "Departure" by Max Richter (from the HBO series "The Leftovers") ,

The second part is Yo-Yo Ma playing the Bach Cello Suite no. 1 - prelude.

Smart looking

Another belter of a review mr meatballs.

Anything that will simplify stuff for the noob is good IMO. So many seem to lose heart because they get confused by all the terms and kit and coils and juice and ...

I like it, and I expect a tactically positioned o-ring would sort out the "rattlage".

Got 1 of these on preorder for the Mrs.
finally a mod she cant screw an atty on like shes done it up with the wheel nut gun at quick fit.
Her MO is if it aint working right, screw the atty on tighter lol.

lol I was the same at first. Half the problems noobs cause is over-tightening and eleaf just fixed that. I hope a 22mm version comes along

[drunkenbum]

I really like the simplicity of this. I'd actually be interested in trying one out.

Great review as always paulymeatballs

Fab review as always paulymeatballs.

Was looking at these the other day on FT:

www.fasttech.com/products/0/10018866/3904505-authentic-eleaf-istick-basic-2300mah-battery-w-gs

A useful take to work set up I was thinking.

[GeoffUK]

Interesting link Perpetua it says there that the drip tip is removable, but paulymeatballs clearly states his was fixed.

If they have changed the config since you got your review kit Mr Meatballs you may wish to revisit your review. It is always possible that the FT site is mistaken of course, but the eLeaf website shows it as detachable too. www.eleafworld.com/istick-basic/

That's almost perfect for my daughter, if only it was regulated at a set power... she's a strictly 8 watts (and under) vaper!

You could also use a Evod atomiser and then you can choose a coil that would suit her vaping style, Single coil, dual coil, with lots of different resistances available so you could put in a 2 ohm coil that would give a more muted/cool vape or drop down to a lower resistance if you needed more vapour and/or hotter vape.

Also you could rebuild them quite easily saving her (you) money.

[Pepperty]

I'm prepping her for uni, so its single rebuildable protank coils, she's actually on smok aro's at moment as they are hardy beasts but she's still buggered one battery (It looked like it got ran over by a bus, and knowing her - that scenario could be correct?) but the clearo's are surviving well so i've ordered a few more from fasttech and remade up my old evod coils (the old style shank fits) I'm assuming she'll be fine rewicking weekly

She loves the little istick mini's but ones been killed and other two are battery dying. This might be a good replacement but she's always freaking at how strong my vaporsharks are - at 12-15watts she's obviously got puny lungs! I do hope they can bring out a set power or at least a basic few settings like the egrip - then it would be spot on for her

It's the difference between a GS Air 1 & 2, the FT kit has a 2.



Great review, paulymeatballs & a nice looking kit.

jess Pauly's video also has the GS Air 2 I've watched a few vid's on this (Interested for mums Christmas) and only 1 of the videos shows the tip does actually come off it's very confusing.

 But just goes to show where my brain is from watching the vid yesterday.  And thanks, violetblade, that does make it confusing.
