Worth checking here www.fasttech.com/search?Eleaf%20Istick%20mod or Gearbest etc plenty of links on the vendors boards to others allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/board/53/vendors-board-china probably cheaper there as long as you have the time to await delivery. Otherwise watching here might not be a bad call uk.camelcamelcamel.com/search?sq=Eleaf+Istick or Ebay could provide something

They are genuine unless described as Style. There is a fiddle though as FT say they have to remove the serial number...read their item listing in full. However, on eBay you are exposed to fraudulent sellers as I was with an iStick 30W that failed electronically in 4 weeks. If you recognise the seller on eBay you likely won't have a problem other than it costs too much.

If FT have stock it takes them about 5 to 7 days to become shipped. Free shipping can take more than 3 weeks and if the shipment is over £25 you can be charged by HMRC. I keep my orders at about $35 (USD) and they pass through without charge.

Faster shipping of course costs more....and is faster. HMRC will also charge on origin shipping costs to you. 

Also, Batteries for the iStick (18650 type) will likely not be shipped by air cargo. The findings of an earlier cargo aircraft crash (Dubai) has had an impact on freight by air, particularly batteries.

If you go with registered post via china I had a order shipped on a monday and I recieved it on saturday.
Though it has been known to take 10 days.
Stuff listed as legit on FT normally is.

I think they remove the verification (serial) number on the box (back) because they are not allowed to sell into the UK market...maybe wider EU also? I got an iStick 60W from FT recently and it is a substantial MOD. Also, the battery can be easily changed under a magnet side cover. The 30W and similar requires soldering iron surgery.

The Chinese vendors are usually cheaper, and there seems to be plenty of folks here who have bought from them with no issue, it does take a bit of time to arrive though. The other option might be to get from a USA vendor as some of those can be cheaper. Ebay is a last resort but can't be ignored when on the hunt.

I've bought almost all my iSticks via Fasttech summerof0763 . . . . as yet I've no issues to report, nor tbh do I expect there to be any.

The only requirement really, is some patience . . . . .

The 60W is well over what you want I suspect. It has a temperature control TC function as well...not that I use that, but most MODs now have the TC facility almost by default.

It works very well at 15W for me and of course will go higher. I think at 20W and above the vape tastes too dry. I'm not a big cloud creater either.

I also ordered a silicon sleeve for it at the time...about $1.5 (USD) which stops it clanking around on surfaces. And if the top tank leaks the juice runs down the inside of the sleeve mainly...not all over me as it used to!

Think i will order one from fast tech on wed thanks everyone for your help was much appreciated x
