Faceplate reminds me a lot of Damascan steel. Is that what it is? Yes , Damascus faceplate Pete Wow very nice. And no two pieces of the steel are ever the same so very unique.

Why have lipo batteries or something similar to what's in phones not become more common?
Or even a more powerful version of 18650. 26650 is stronger with better amps right? So could 2 of these be used for 200 watt devices?

The 30w iStick would be better than the 20w . . . . there's very little difference in size between the two. Agreed

The uwell tends to require a lot of wick. What I personally did was cut the wick close to the coil. Them fluff it out. Then cut 2 squares of straight from muji pad and using juice stuck these to the fluffed out ends. When sticking chamber cap back on you will need to coax all that wick not but it does a perfect job for me.
With most rtas they have a ledge that you should cut the wick to fit on.
I tend to stick on the fat side and stick a large amount of cotton through coil. Used to use small out but found the Scottish wick approach is great so more is better
Edit paulo had same idea but was 30 secs quicker lol

My general coil build is clapton 26 wrapped with 32 or 34. Normally go with diameter of 2.5mm with 5 wraps and do dual coil.
Favourite build is a staggered fused clapton. Used I hint 26 for cores and then 34 on the outside

I find wicking generally varies based on atty being used. Which a try are you having trouble with?

Hiya catfish, lots of choice on the market but most of the recent ones are sub ohm and seem to need 45+ watts to get the best out of them (which is why I dont own any of them!) With your istick you'll need tanks that take 1ohm coils so maybe you are better with protanks/aerotanks and maybe subtank mini with the 1.2ohm stock coils? (and probably a slimmer driptip if you mouth to lung inhale?) Agreed with a 20 watt mod you would be better using coils that are 1 ohm plus

The favourites seem to be
Smok tfv 4 (also now in mini) Uwell crown Kanger (comes in 3 sizes the plus standard or mini and possibly nano but unsure)
Many also like the triton
All will come with various coil options so coils aren't too big a factor.

Dual posts is quite a common design these days. Helps to snip one set of wires before inserting second coil.
Also my favourite wire cutting tool is actually nail clippers (the ones with a rounded end) find they can get in most places with the edge of them.
With coils try not to go over 3mm internal diameter with standard coil type. If using clapton reduce to 2.5 mm.
I've had zero issues with it. Enjoy being able to top or bottom fill. As well as being able to re wick or coil with juice still in tank

Al tanks I've owned have leaked a little from somewhere. Some only a small amount when I fill. Others a lot more. The bellus when I fill let's small amounts of juice leak into airports but very small amount.
The billow I've never had a leak issue from anywhere.

From experience there isn't one. It depends on the resistance and what you enjoy. Generally if I have a resistance of .3 ohms (normally what I aim for with a dual clapton) I run 35 - 37 watts.

Ryan As @yingang said bellus is my favourite right now along with the billow v2. These are the only 2 rtas I use now. I use both every day Personally had zero issues coiling or wicking them. The design makes it easy as there's a small ledge where the end of the wick should sit so you know how much wick to cut off.

But even a basic ego case will suffice for most gear, and they cost buttons -- on eBay --- of course! I use this too plenty of room for some juice a dripper and a few simple tools, some cotton and press made coils
