Problems with Eleaf mini istick

[xLizzi]

Hi! I recently purchased a mini istick, I love it and it was working great until for whatever reason the LED light will hardly ever work and you cant take hits off of it at all. It is completely charged acting like it is dead. If you press several buttons over and over and over it will eventually light up for a couple seconds to take a hit or two then just shut off again so you have to repeat the process. It isnt locked or anything, you can hold the button down, nothing. You can press it 5 times in a row like you would to turn it on and off and nothing. Only time i can get it to even turn on for a second is pressing the arrow buttons and it will display battery then just shut off again usually. Not sure what else to do please help

Sometimes plugging it in to charge will reset it. Sounds to me like you have a paperweight if you can't take it back to where you bought it. I'd suggest an upgrade to the 30w or 40w istick. The size isn't that much larger and with 30 or more watts you have room to grow, should you desire. Both the 30 and 40 watt iSticks have a longer mah battery too. The Innokin Coolfire IV is another small mod that is nice.

I wish you luck but I have no other suggestions.

Bump for another opinion.

I've been hearing some bad things about the iSticks lately which vexes me as I have three myself. Once in a great while mine with not fire with a button push but just the once and very rarely. Aside from that all mine have been fine. I'd recommend taking it back where you bought it if that's an option. A backup is always nice too...something I learned too late. Now I keep a backup for my backup LOL.

Me and my SO went through 3 isticks between us before switching to sigelei and neither have looked back.

What are you charging it with? Sounds like it's not charging, could be charger or internal failure of the Istick.

Its 100% charged and still doing this. Hell it can even be plugged in and still does it. It is just getting worse every day. :l

I got one in November. It was in the trash in November.

I use mods with DNA chips mostly. The Provari Mini is only $80ish.

Not good, sounds defective. Have you looked into whether you can return it?

I may pick one up in a few months for its size, though a fairly low battery capacity.

Same here I've had two Istick 30w that have performed flawlessly since I bought them 6 months ago. Now have an Istick 40w and like it too. Sounds like the usual quality of manufacturing issues from China for those having an issue. And that's not just with isticks, read plenty of issues with the kanger subox as well. They either work well or don't it seems

Defective, return it. I've had an iStick 50 for over a year without issue.
