Is the iStick good value for money? Yes, I think it is. Whilst it doesn’t have the greatest range of power available or the build quality of some of the more expensive mods, you’ll find in the Eleaf iStick a great box mod for new and seasoned vapers alike.
Whilst this product is not exactly brand new to market, it does have the advantage of massive sales without any reported major design or build flaws and should provide you an excellent vape at a very reasonable price. With the iStick Mini and iStick 30W already available in the UK and the iStick 50W dropping any day Eleaf are certainly capturing a good slice of new device sales. We have the 30W on order and will grab the 50W as soon as we can so we can try it with lower-rated builds. To us, the iStick Original now positions itself excellently as a great introduction to the world of box mods. The new eGo battery? Quite possibly. A smoker looking to convert and wanting a low cost starter could do a lot worse that pick up one of these. The iStick is both reliable and excellent value for money.
We have purchased a few of these items over the last few months for our own use and to give away to friends we wanted to encourage away from smoking and we haven't heard one single complaint about them. The device purchased for this review was from Puremist. We are also giving away one of these to a lucky reader - you can enter the competition here. The unit we are giving away was purchased from a relatively new overseas vendor Ecig Pro Seller - Tom was a pleasure to deal with and we wish him well with his business and will certainly buy from him again!
