Eleaf iStick 60W TC

[ThunderDan]

Looks like eleaf is getting set to drop another TC mod, the istick 60W TC. This one looks to be better than their 40W offering. The second iStick to take user replaceable 18650 batteries (this one takes a single 18650). The frame is offered in silver, or black, then it looks like the battery cover is black, with additional colors for purchase as an accessory. Supports both nickel, and titanium wire for TC, hopefully they have improved their TC function from the 40W version.

Here is some info I gathered from vendor pre-order listings:

Features:
1. TC-Ni, TC-Ti and regular VW mode available
2. Temperature control
3. 1-60W power
4. OLED screen display
5. High capacity and stability li-battery
6. Stainless steel thread and spring connector

Wattage 1-60W
Color silver, black
Size 90*38*28mm
Mode Type TC-Ni, TC-Ti and regular VW mode
Temperature Range TC-Ni or TC-Ti mode 200~600 F or 100~315℃

Probably using the same basic board as the eVic VTC Mini.

Some more angles here:

Looks like the love child of a Zero C-frame and an IPV D2.

Digging the centered 510 on the unit, but I guess they can get away with it since it's so wide and tall it gives them room to center-mount without impinging on the board or battery.

And mad props to eLeaf for finally making a mod that doesn't have any chrome on it.

If they get the tc right might drag me back to eleaf for a beater mod.

Once I hear "sent to me for the purposes of this review" from MikeVapes, I turn it off. That aside, I like what Eleaf is doing with this Istick. 60 watts sounds like a good amount of power, nice size, replaceable 18650, and I too am impressed they left the chrome off of it.

If the c frame on the silver one is SS that could look pretty nice IMO. Unfortunately the preview pics I've seen make it look like a silver or chrome type plating.

Why do you turn it off at that point? Just curious.

Gotta be honest I used to watch mike vapes but not anymore his review iof the ipv d2 showed he really should do more research before switching on the camera but each to their own we all like different things.

I hear you, but I'm willing to give him a pass on one flub. Especially since he's not really even a reviewer in my book, he's more of an unboxing and first impressions guy as far as I'm concerned. I go elsewhere if I want more depth and accuracy on a review. And at least he had the cojones to do follow-up videos on the IPV D2.

Somebody like Grimm Green doesn't get a pass. He's been at it long enough to know better, but he's getting worse. What worries me about him is that he's in the same category as Mike Vapes (unboxer) but when he makes a mistake or doesn't understand something and puts out incorrect info, the sheer amount of viewers he has, (and the unwarranted credibility that gives him), makes it possible to kill a product, or seriously hurt its sales.

 

[ThunderDan]

I agree, Mike Vapes is definitely more of an unboxer / quick look type, especially for mods. I think he just likes to be first, or one of the first to get videos out for new mods to get more views. I bet he had that iStick 60 for a day or two before putting the video up.

According to the Heavengifts listing, the 60 tc weighs more than twice what the 40 tc does, before putting a battery in the 60. Yikes!

Can anyone confirm or correct that?

Battery size: 90*38*28mm 245.0 grams 60tc
Battery size: 21*35*82mm 114.0 grams 40tc

In the video review I saw a burning test at 600 degrees.... And the cotton doesn't burn!!!!!!!

 

[ThunderDan]

That isn't a good thing.

 

[KenD]

That isn't a good thing.

Definitely seems like the device isn't particularly accurate.

So with the 60 can you adjust the wattage in temp mode or is it like the 40?

A mod in an underarm deodorant container? Had not thought of that.

I really don't want this thread to become a debate about about this reviewer. After typing out the response I decided not to post it. I have some overall nice things to say about him but then two or so subjective things that I perceive as disparaging that would be inappropriate for this thread and I think would get picked at by everyone who likes him.

I own and like the TC40. Here's hoping we can set the ramp wattage and the "new atomizer" thingie works better than the TC40.

On mine the 510 pin no longer extends far enough to make contact with some of my tanks.

 

[Mikera67]

The tc 40 works ok, not great. Subtanks work the best, the herc and the arctic want more power, the herc won't even register on the tc40. Might have to test one out when it's available

My 40W TC works great in power mode.
