Yay! iStick 50w arrived from USPS this morning. It comes fully charged and ready to go so just take it out of the box and play. First thing I did was put my Nautilus on it at 11w. Vaped like a champ, much better than the Vamo v5 I was using. Took the Lemo out of the box, saturated the stock coil, put it together, filled it, then tested the ohms on both the ohmmeter and the iStick (reads at 1.1 ohms). Hit the button for a nice loooooooong draw and WHOA talk about clouds!
First impressions of the iStick: This baby is nice and solid! It's heftier than I thought it would be but it's far more pocketable than that damn Vamo LOL. Everything seems to be built very well, not hearing any rattling from anything. The firing button is nice and big so you can't miss it. Having the arrow buttons and OLED screen on the side makes it easier to adjust. I love how the screen shows the amount of time you've had the button pressed too.
First impressions of the Lemo: I've gotten so used to (and tired of) the restricted airflow on my Nautilus - even when it's all the way open - that I wasn't fully prepared for the vaporious onslaught that is the Lemo. I went from 12mg of nicotine to 6mg specifically for this bad boy, and I'm getting lightheaded and nauseous from just a few hits. Might need to close the airflow down a bit and see if that helps any. Stock coil looks pretty nice, wicks like a champ, but getting a meh aftertaste. Not a burnt or dry taste, just meh. I'm vaping Ruthless Grape Drank (6mg nicotine and 85VG/15PG) at 20w. Will probably be a lot better once I build my own coil and stick the organic cotton in there. Keeping the Nautilus as a backup tank in case something goes awry with the Lemo.
