Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
Box of the backpacker par excellence, with 4400mah reserve, you have plenty to do. Of course, the mod pushed to its limits, your energy autonomy will melt like snow in the sun but with a “cool” vape, you will recharge your box every two or three days.
As for the vape itself, we are entitled (finally) to a smooth and well regulated vape. The ampere output limit set here to 40A will not limit you in your lowest mount.
We are therefore in the presence of a very good small box capable of being suitable for the greatest number.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
Quite skeptical at the idea of testing this umpteenth Istick and quite disappointed with the first versions, I admit having had strong prejudices on the new version.
But that nay, sir, this Istick 50w is a real small bombinette.
It has everything you need to be your “last” box.
50w power, support resistors from 0.2Ω, 4400mah energy reserve. What more ? To make coffee?
No, kidding aside, at Eleaf they heard the customer and went the right way for the more powerful version. And I admit I was very surprised by this Istick 50w.
Thanks to Tech-Steam for the loan of this test Istick.
Looking forward to reading you.
Toff.
