Just got efest 18350 batteries in the post this morning and tried them out in the svd 2.0. The end cap won't close properly cos the battery must be too big , and they power the screen for a few seconds but I can't get any pull from it what so ever and the screen just powers off.

What could be the problem ?

It was efest 18350's i was using in the SVD 2.0 nipple top and flat top and the cap closed all the way, double check you have them inserted properly and check the tube in case there is something obstructing the battery.The only time i couldn't close the battery cap all the way was with nipple top 18650's.

The screen times out pretty quick on the SVD 2.0 but you should be able to vape it still.What tank and coils are you using.

I bought the batteries from adverts so maybe they are faulty but the cap won't close in full. It will tread a small bit.

It will work on 8w but not properly it keeps saying check battery. Il buy some batteries from the best shop and they should be fine. I tried a nautilus and a gs air tank

I would use my Nautilus at around 12-13w with the 18350 battery's and all was well.Does the battery connections on the mod look ok, is the spring damaged.Maybe you have some dodgy battery's.

If it's still not working well for you when you get new battery's PM me and well sort something out.Have you tried 18650's yet.

They look grand the batteries but I reckon they are faulty tbh. Took a chance buying from a stranger. No I don't think il bother using 18650s because it would be massive then

haha i liked it's size in 18650 mode, if anyone try's to jump you at night you could just beat them with it

Anyway let me know how you get on.

That's odd!! they should work fine.
Do you have some other mod or multi meter to test them?

No I've nothing like that. I've ordered a new one from the best shop anyway so hopefully that works

Just a quick question re ni -200 coils.

I ordered the 60w TC istick. Won't have it for ages as it is preorder. So I said I would start looking into things.

I was looking at the ni-200 coils for the kanger subtank. I just watched a video on them and any written specs also say that they only work with a device with a dna40 chip 'at the moment'.

Have things come along since, would they only work with a device with that chip? What chip does the istick have?

They work fine for me with a evic vt and a smok xpro m80.

Could be an old video when TC was only in the DNA 40

Xpro m80 works with NI now? When I got mine the so called TC didn't work and you could only use kanthal, I only ever used it in wattage mode.

Ordered stuff yesterday before lunch from vape escape off their closing down sale, email from parcel motel today that my stuff is already in Dublin sorting office, 50/60% discount I'll be getting a few more bits tomorrow just for savings long term

Sure does. Early ones had issues I believe but mine has newer firmware which appears to have done the job.

My iStick 50w died today after 7 months.

I am going to go for a Mod with separate batteries i think.

I have been out of the loop for a good few months as to what is decent or not. (i use the Delta II tank, and the Atlantis tanks and rarely go over 35w)

Looking at esmokeireland, they have the istick 60w and 100w mods.

Are they any good or would i be better off going for the IPV4 or Innokin Disruptor or something?

Cheers Folks

For something with replaceable batteries you can't really look past the subox/kbox mini

JH_raheny

Have to do a thumbs up to vapeescape, stuff I ordered Thursday morning from the UK was in Irish sorting office yesterday afternoon and ready for collection in my local parcel motel this morning, free delivery from vapeescape and 4 euro for parcel motel ;-)

Anyone selling an istick 20 or 30w ? Need one for work so I don't mind if it's scratched and stuff

I've a 20w I don't use. I'll check it still charges up as I haven't used it in months. Fiver, posted if you want. Its blue.

Works perfect. I've a barely used GS air and three coils too for another tenner if you want them. Drop me a PM if interested.

Looking at that video, I'm not sure how much I believe him considering the amount of damage done to the 510 connector, the amount of plastic ripped out and the fact that the cable apparently came off the mainboard so easily. That cable would take some pulling which he would have noticed before it ripped free.

I reckon (in my opinion) he either over tightened an atty, cross threaded and locked one on, or perhaps has another agenda?

A lot of reviewers didn't have this problem,I found 3 reviewers who did have the 510 connection pop out,a bad batch just got through the QC.

Is the stuff on fasttech genuine or replicas?

If it says Authentic, then it is genuine.
If it says Styled, then it is a clone/replica.

Haven't seen anything that says authentic yet. How do you check the eu stock ?
