I agree ^^^^^ Jerri the istick 40 battery is pants ... I much prefer the coolfire 4 or the istick 50 I can only assume the battery isn't rated as it's supposed to because a 2000mah battery shouldn't be outlasting a 2600mah battery. I could understand if it was different tanks etc but I use exactly the same tank and they're both set to 16.5watts running a 1.4ohm coil. One has custard cream in 70/30 one has custard doughnut 70/30. But as I said I don't mind. I love it. It feels solid. The fire button is my favourite of any mod. And I'd buy another in a second. I love the shape too. I have a smok m80 which I take if I'm going to be away from a charger for any length of time. The way I vape I get 5 days out of that. |

I have the 40w istick and the cool fire 4.
Despite the iStick battery being 2600mah and the coolfire being 2000mah I find the coolfire lasts longer.
I don't use temp cotrol or sub ohm. I run a subtank mini on both. Both have a 1.4ohm coil in and both run at 16-18 watts.
I find the coolfire battery outlasts the iStick.
But if you want a small mod there's nothing that really compares to the iStick. Despite its lacking battery life I absolutely love it.

Maybe I'm just picking the wrong mods then. TBH......I never think to look if they do or don't but I might have to start. No it's not something I look at either. I just happen to have bought mods with that feature. I do make sure they're all off when I go to bed too, before I would just take the battery out but now all my mods have build on batteries. |

All my mods turn off properly.
The coolfore 4 has the switch at the bottom.
The m80 locks with 5 clicks then you can go into the menu and switch it off Then it's five clicks to switch it back on and another 5 to unlock it.
The 40w istick is five clicks off five clicks back on.

Slightly OT but both myself and a friend ordered two of these each. Mine arrived a few days ago, hers today. She text me earlier asking if mine were okay as hers are useless. Checked and mine are also useless. The posts wobble like mad because the bottom screw doesn't screw in properly and that's the only thing keeping one of the posts in place. Even screwed is as far as possible one side wobbles like crazy and no matter what I did all Myods gave a 'short' error with them. My friends were exactly the same. So 4 ordered. 4 utterly useless. I must have got lucky as both of mine from FT have been fine, they were ordered awhile ago though. Yeah I did look at the reviews and it seems ones from a while back were good but newer batches not so much. I've put in a ticket but thankfully it's no giant loss. |

It's been yonks since I removed the rba itself only thing I can think is I graunched it in originally. Anyone recommend some good spare bases? Id be surprised if the base was the problem, I resolved connection issues on mine with these m.fasttech.com/p/2551300Slightly OT but both myself and a friend ordered two of these each. Mine arrived a few days ago, hers today. She text me earlier asking if mine were okay as hers are useless. Checked and mine are also useless. The posts wobble like mad because the bottom screw doesn't screw in properly and that's the only thing keeping one of the posts in place.

If you loved the 20w istick the 40w one would be a great upgrade.
£25 at SR-Vapes.
I personally bloody love mine!
The coolfire 4's are lovely. I have one in red and it's just a lovely mod.
I find the battery life on the coolfire slightly better than the 40w iStick, odd because it's 2000mah and the iStick is 2600mah. I use both at 16-20watts with a subtank mini and find the coolfire battery lasts longer. But there's not much in it.
If you want more power and gigantic battery either the M80 or the 50w iStick. I have the M80, battery lasts days. My friend has the 50w iStick and again battery lasts days.
All of the above have spring loaded 510, SS threads and sub ohm capability and all under £40.

Just to update this.
I got a small sample of 0mg Yoda Babies today and am currently running it in a dripper at 35 watts and it stunning. Zero harshness.
I'm at a loss really I use 3mg in all my tanks and the bottles I bought were 3mg. Can't be PG as the juice is 80/20 VG heavy.
So I can only assume those flavourings combined with nic cause me issued. As with most fruity flavours.
Not sure what to do now to be honest. Before I got the lemo 2 I vaped 6mg but got 3mg because I'd heard of needing to cut nic for sub ohms. After a week I couldn't vape 6mg without getting light headed. So I stocked up on 3mg. I don't want to now get 0mg in one flavour and get so used to it all the stock of 3mg I have becomes unvapable due to making me light headed. If that makes sense?
I don't mind swapping to 0nic but I've currently got around 500ml of liquid in 3mg. With 100ml of custard cream on the way.
Maybe I'll buy some just to drip occasionally but I find the dripper a faf so only ever use it to test liquid.
Suppose I'll just leave it and get some when I switch to 0nic.

Wow. That's a lot of tips!
I'd be happy to just fine one I like for the lemo.
The dibley and ELV ones look fantastic but I couldn't never bring myself to pay more than £10 for a drip tip. Even that's pushing it for me.

I'm struggling to find a tip I like for the lemo 2. Needs to be SS as the tank has no coloured o-rings and is on a silver mod so no colour to accent.
The one that comes with it is far far too wide for me. I've currently got a big ss vase type on by it looks too long. Tried a subtank one but again too tall.
I've yet to see one I think suitable.

never did get into the tip shinyitus, years back when i last vaped, but what with the sub tanks im amassing ( and second mortgage ) i have already ordered a few to match the black beasties, now this collection here just wets the appetite some more...why did i ever tell the girl friend giving up again would save me a packet ... i so should have known better lol I never got into drip tip buying either. When I first started vaping I bought a few but always ended up snapping them a few days after they arrived so gave up and just used the ones that come with the tank. And I do balk slightly at paying £10 for a tiny bit of coloured plastic but I feel like treating myself. |

Just ordered some of these myself. Red for the exact same setup posted with the subtank mini and cool fire.
And black glitter for the black iStick 40w and subtank (black o-rings in) glad to see good reports!

Got a 30ml bottle of this with around 25ml left. It's not a vanilla custard. More like a dairy custard and I just find it a bit bland. Not to be confused with wizmix Mrs Bees. The one I have is this one www.yogg.co.uk/3mg. 90vg. Anyone fancy trading for a different custard? 3mg or less please. Isle of custard? Spectrums custard cream? Daredevils custard? Any of those. Or another custard I've not tried (just non with a caramel twist). Or anything that's not tobacco or strawberry. |
