1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    Yep, it is great value for money but I also find that the other mods in my collection provide a better vape.

    +1 It's perfect for trips when you don't want to carry batteries and a charger. It performed flawlessly on the trip to Singapore as did my (ancient by vaping standards) iTaste VV V3.0. I had to chuckle when one of the guys in the office told me he hadn't seen such an 'advanced' setup when he saw the iTaste & Aspire ET-S in action...it is Singapore after all!

    I must be vaping like crazy at the moment as my fully charged istick50 only lasts me 2 full days. 1.2 ohm at 15-20w

    Got my Istick 50w (black) a few days ago in the mail from Micky and very pleased with it so far. Like -V- and some others I didn't get it for the watts (I rarely vape over 18w, even with .05 ohm Subtank Mini coils) but rather for the form and battery factors. The only thing I'm not super hip on is the feel of the casing (and it's a bit slippery too), but nothing a good silicone case won't take care of -- like others really hoping local vendors get a hold of these in the near future.

    Hmmm, you must be...after 3 days of non-stop vaping on mine (Nauts at 11w), the battery was still showing more than half remaining.

    Wouldn't 18w not fire a 0.5ohm coil? I'm terrible at this stuff but I thought it wouldn't since a 20w iStick won't fire it. So is that 18w being automatically bumped up therefore he's vaping on higher power?

    I feel like an idiot sometimes not understanding physics, I barely passed in high school and I stayed away from science. Unless you consider political science one :)

    As long as it is within the specs of the mod, it does not matter the wattage you put. That would give him about 3V. It's not going to produce much but it's firing.

    Just sometimes :wink:
    Why wouldn't it, it would fire at any watts you set it to, doesn't mean you'll get what you set it to though...
    the iStick 20 has a limit of 1 ohm so no it wouldn't fire a 0.5 ohm coil....

    We're talking about an iStick 50w here...very different specs than an iStick 20w. You really should do the research...

    This is what I mean where you say you may not get what you set it to. I'm wondering if set at 18w if it really fires that low or it automatically bumps up the power. Would explain why his battery died quicker if it was firing at a higher power.

    So this was Tuesday at 11.15 am, and at 4pm today the battery ran out, all I'd done is un box it and strat to use it, so after tonight's full charge I'll see how many days the full cycle will last...
