Reviewer comments on business characteristics
A variable voltage or wattage mod, the system allowing us to choose and visualize one or the other.
A significant intensity limited to 40 Amps and a capacity of 4400 mAh which gives us an autonomy of vape of more than a day (even two) in average resistance values (0.8 ohm).

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
This box is a weight of 149 grams with accumulators, because these are owners.
I use the plural because I unscrewed the plate to check the type of battery (2 x 18650).
A box which seems to me of good quality, but the plates remain sensitive to scratches. It is inevitable, with each installation of your atomizer, the support will be marked.
The buttons are well integrated in the box, stable and ergonomic.
Their positioning is comfortable and the interface is clear and clearly visible.
We are on a nice design, typical of the range.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
The Istick 50W is an improved and battery-based version of the iStick series. On peut choisir la tension de sortie entre 2V et 10V ou bien la puissance entre 5W et 50W avec une capacité de 4400 mah pour une longue utilisation. Its connector is mounted on a spring, allowing flush mounting with the atomizer, with a brass pin and a solid thread in acier inoxydable résistant à l’usure. De plus, l’Istick 50W has fonction supplémentaire d’alarme de température qui permet une bonne sécurité, surtout en power-vaping. If the temperature of the device is above 70 ℃, the output will be cut off automatically and the display will show “temporary protection” for 5 seconds.
The rounded edges of this box give a not insignificant comfort when held in the hand and the buttons are very well thought out as for their positioning just like that, moreover, of the port of recharging USB.
This box also has a locking / unlocking function.
Comptez environ cinq heures pour recharger la batterie via l’adaptateur mural 1A.
