Reviewer comments on business characteristics
Eleaf expands the Istick family with this 50 watts version.
More imposing, equipped with a 4400 mah battery, this box is perfectly suited to subohm use.
The price is very reasonable: 62,90 € battery and charging system included, Eleaf persists and signs in his choice to offer simple, effective, accessible but disposable products.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
This 50 watt Istick is bigger, that's obvious. But this remains very reasonable in view of the battery life (4400mah).
All round, the ovoid shape is very ergonomic, the finish is very similar to that of his little sisters.
This Istick is therefore very well placed in terms of value for money, it is also one of the best on the market for medium power boxes.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
Istick users, you will immediately find your marks, nothing changes.
The functions are the same, the use is totally similar.
The only differences: a protection function against overheating of the accumulator and a new spring-loaded 510 pin of very good quality.
No revolution, but a box always as simple and effective.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 4 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on conditioning
The packaging is impeccable, nothing original but serious and nice packaging.
A rigid cardboard box, in which you will find your new box in a foam and, hidden below, the usb cord, the wall adapter, and an ego adapter.
The ego adapter, I don't really see what you will do with it on this type of box, but it is there and can be used on other devices.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
Practical and ergonomic.
The fire button follows the rounded edge and is naturally located under the finger.
The position of the screen on the front makes it readable without having to change the grip.
The vape is very well regulated, the start is immediate.
Finally, the capacity of the accumulator will easily allow you to vape for more than a day without needing to recharge, even with low resistances.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
The 50 watt Istick keeps all of its promises.
Large load capacity, resistance accepted from 0,2 to 5ohms and power of 50 watts. Add to that a competitive price and… that's it! (smile)
I can stop there. But it should also be noted the improvement of the button compared to the 20 watts.
You will no longer be able to use your Istick as a musical instrument… clearly no more noises of maracas!
Note also the very good quality of the 510 pin as well as the addition of a protection against overheating of the very useful battery when you feel the subohm.
The handling is excellent, the use very simple, the vape frank and well regulated.
In short not much to say negative.
Personally, I am not a fan of the design of the Istick family. It's a bit too round and it lacks a bit of character, but on the contrary nothing shocks, it's very consensual.
The top cap will take the marks of the ato over time, and the anodization will not remain intact. But everything remains at the top of the category.
I think that once again Eleaf will meet with success, especially since owners of previous versions wishing to get into the subohm, will naturally go for this product.
See you soon, who knows, the 100 watt istick can be… if so, the Vapelier team will be there!
Have a good time, and look forward to reading you.
Vince.
