Eleaf is a manufacturer well-known for its unique mini box mods. The iStick 50W box mod became quickly popular upon its release and in spite of its small size, it is the company’s mots powerful device of its category. If you are using a high powered sub ohm tank or RDA that needs a higher amount of power, the 50W iStick would be the right choice. The iStick 50W has become a favorite in the industry thanks to its top quality and affordable price. Here we will find out more about this high wattage solution.
General Features
The iStick 50W comes with a native 510 connection that enables the best level of compatibility. Its Brass Spring Connector gives you optimal conductivity and the 4400mAh Battery offers impressive battery life. There is an added button lock feature that is designed to protect the buttons and to ensure that they last longer. The Eleaf iStick 50W is available in different colors: Blue, Silver, Black and Pink. The device can get down to 0.2 ohm resistance and its voltage output ranges between 2.0V to 10.0V. The wattage output ranges between 5W and 50W. The iStick 50W offers great value for money as it is a powerful solution with an outstanding 4400mAh battery that lasts for many days and you can get it for just $50. It fires from 0.2-5ohms so it can be used in combination with any of the new sub ohm tanks.
Design
The iStick has a nice looking design and the fact that it is available in multiple colors, gives users more options to get a model that suits their own style. It may be small in size, but its amazing 4400mAh lipo battery will give you many hours and even days of power. The compact size also means that it is very practical to carry around and it also fits comfortably on your hand. The iStick is lightweight and it would be perfect for use with the Aspire Atlantis or a Subtank Mini. Compared to the 20W device, the Stick 50W offers better build quality, with a beautiful finish. It features a spring loaded brass pin, meaning that you can use all tanks and clearos that have a 510 connection on them.
The threading on the iStick is stainless steel, which makes it more resistant and durable. The screen is placed in the middle and the up and down buttons are located at the top. You can find the fire button on the front of the iStick and overall the design takes into account looks and functionality. Although the screen is very simple, it provides all the necessary information including the voltage, wattage, battery life and resistance of the tank you are using. It also displays details about your vaping session (how long you vape for) and a 10 seconds break is implemented for safety.
Using the device
You can switch from wattage to voltage mode by clicking the fire button three times. You just need to hold the up and down arrows at the same time to lock the wattage or voltage that you are vaping at. To turn the device on or off, you just need to click the fire button 5 times. The safety features include a temperature alarm that is activated at 70 C (158F) and once the iStick reaches that temperature, it is automatically shut down to cool down. The screen shows “temp protection” when this happens. There is also a short circuit protection, as well as low voltage protection.
Although the battery works very well and as previously mentioned, it offers an extended vaping experience, some users would prefer a 18650 battery since this can be easily removed for use in different devices. The Lipo battery in the iStick 50W can’t be taken out and even if you are able to remove it, you will find that it is not compatible with the majority of other box mods. As such, it is only possible to charge the battery using the USB charger, which can take a lot of time given that it is a 4400mAh battery. The good news is that since the iStick is a pass through device, it is possible to use it while it is charging. A minor downside that you may notice is that there is a slight delay from the moment when you hit the fire button, to the device being fired at full power. However, it is not a deal breaker and most people won’t even notice it.
Conclusion
The iStick 50W is an impressive vaping device that deserves the popularity that it has earned. Sub ohm tanks work very well with this device and they will fit perfectly and look amazing too. The iStick 50W is designed to last and it can be used with the newest tanks available. This box mod gives you excellent performance, great power and all the features needed to enjoy your sub ohm vaping seamlessly. Its reasonable price is another reason to opt for it.
