If you’re looking for a nice slick mod that could pull off as an awesome portable speaker lookalike, you have the Eleaf iStick 200 watts. I’m talking ultimate stealth whilst pulling of a smooth operator attitude. The design isn’t my favorite but as we all know, opinion on design and whatnot is very subjective so something you might fancy may not be my cup of tea.
Anyway, back into the main talk, with the iStick TC200W, you get a high power performance at a good valued price. It’s an all-in compact size mod that boasts efficiency at its highest whilst looking good while doing its job. Pictures you find online may often be deceiving as it tends to look pretty big but see for yourself in person and you’ll know what I’m talking about when I say “compact”.
With this awesome sub ohm tank powering inside the iStick TC200W, you can expect no lesser than awesome thick and potent vapor clouds. Eleaf has really specialized itself when it comes to high technology focusing on performance and endurance. You can expect that what you have in your hands won’t be a child’s toy but rather a highly advanced vaporizer that many vape brands in the current market cannot promise to provide.
How Much Power is “A Lot” of Power?
Again, it may be quite hard to explain how much power a particular vaporizer can pack especially since you haven’t yet experienced the TC200W firsthand. Now imagine a powerhouse churning out an unstoppable amount of vapor, kind of like a vacuum that has been sucking vapor in for the past 10 minutes suddenly letting it all out. I’m talking massive, potent, thick, dense, concentrated vapor that bursts with pure flavor. Feel that mouth watering? Well, just imagine basking in a beautiful cloudy vapor session with a reliable mod by your side. That mod is the TC200W. Eleaf has offered an extensive variety of voltage with a range from 1 to 200 watts with a handy temperature control function which rakes up to 600F. Oh, and just to add more to the scene we’re creating, Eleaf has thrown in a temperature-sensitive Nickel 200, a stainless steel coil and a titanium coil for your pure enjoyment.
This mod has an advantageous 3 memory setting: “M1, M2 and M3”. The smart technology behind this allows users to fully enhance their vaping experience by setting their favorite settings in to a memory database stored in the TC200W. Not to mention, all the fancy tools you’re looking at are entirely based off a mathematical formula which associates the temperature and wattage alongside the mod’s resistance. In laymen terms, the accuracy and precision in the TC200W is virtually unbeatable.
Alright, so this sounds pretty hyped up but as much as we like vaping, not many of us understand the science behind it so take that as a little spice of science and niceties.
As for coil resistance, the TC200W operates at 0.05 ohms when it comes to all three temperature control modes (please note that all three settings are built to tolerate a maximum of only 1.5 ohms). The lowest the TC200W can hit is a nice 0.1 ohms (great for enhancing flavor and purity of your vapor) and the highest resistance is a good 3.5 ohms.
Does Coil Range Really Matter?
If you aren’t too learned on sub ohm mods, here’s a little brain teaser for you: you don’t really need the 3.5 ohm threshold for the TC200W coils (titanium and stainless steel). If you know a thing or two about sub ohm mods, you would know that the other famous low-resistance coils like the Nautilus or even the Aerotank have a low 2 ohms maximum. If you’re not too knowledgeable on sub ohm vapers, well, here’s a little brain teaser for you: they don’t really need a a 3.5 ohm threshold for its coils. That is to say, even the well-known low resistance coils such as the Aerotank or even the Nautilus are rated at under 2 ohms. If you want to smoke like an advanced vaper, or pull a stunt off by appearing to be one, enjoy your vaping sessions with a little mix incorporating low watts and low temps. Do note that the highest resistance shouldn’t be at 3.5 ohms as that is just way too much of a burn in all angles.
Now, I’m not saying that accidents do not happen as they normally do however do make note that a mistake could lead to inevitable trouble in relation to your RTA and RDA. The great thing about the Eleaf iStick is its built-in safety which does the trick for me when I’m too high off my mind to notice my clumsy mistakes and carelessness.
Ergonomic Design
When the iStick came out for the very first time, many vaping enthusiasts weren’t too keen on the design saying that they wanted more edge to it. The Eleaf’s iStick gives you the first impression of ergonomic design perfected at a laboratory somewhere in America which is pretty much brilliant seeing as it gives you a very comfortable touch and feel at the palm of your hands. You won’t have to worry about the jagged edges of corners as they do not exist in the Eleaf iStick.
Due to how ergonomic it is, the light weight reflects the classy design when compared to many other 200 watt box mods in the market. There are three color options: white, gray and black. In terms of simplicity of dealing with the likes of batteries, a quick flip of the cover will open your access to the battery compartment which screams ultimate convenience. You will require three batteries to power the mod.
How much better is the iStick 100TC vs the 200TC?
Alright, so in order to actually be able to assess a vape, we have to compare it to other models of its equivalent status, right? Well, let’s take a look at the 200TC when compared with the 100TC. Firstly, the TCR is in-built in the previous iStick so we can all agree that that isn’t much of a progress. In fact, the 200TC is actually shorter a mod when compared to the TC100 which doesn’t really make sense when considering the higher performance and powerhouse this mod holds. Needless to say, we’re not complaining.

The 200 is wider and the screen has quite a good amply amount of room to spread out. The strip-style gives a real nice finish when the device is turned on providing a nice stealthy look and an impressive overview.
