Eleaf Istick 100w tc is a modern device from a reliable and popular manufacturer of equipment. The device is equipped with a modern board, the case is made of high-quality metal. It has a nice original design that allows you to use a powerful battery, while maintaining a compact design. The characteristics of the device will interest advanced vipers who use tanks that produce a large amount of steam.
Design and development features
Mod Istick tc100w, powered by batteries, differs from its competitors in a unique design. The rounded corners of the case are designed to make it convenient for the user to hold the device in their hands. In addition, such a design solution can significantly reduce the size. The device is 94 mm high, 52 mm wide, and its thickness is only 23 mm (dimensions are shown without a tank). This is a fairly compact size, given the many opportunities that the manufacturer offers.
The location of the buttons on the case
The original solution that customers will like is the hidden Fire button. It is impossible to notice it on the case, since it is hidden inside the device. To start the device by applying voltage to the spiral, the user needs to lightly touch the battery cover. This button will be convenient even for such experienced vipers who previously used the RX200S and eVic VTC smoking models, in which the keys are open.
The case of the new model of the device is still very high quality. It was made of stainless steel, which is able to provide corrosion protection. This technical characteristic is very important, since the tanks of such devices often leak over time.
In the center of the case is an OLED display. It depicts detailed information about the operating mode in which the Istick 100w is currently operating.
Design engineers placed keys on the case that regulate the voltage, temperature or power supplied by the battery for the device to work. There is also an additional button for selecting the operating mode. It is located separately from others so that it is easier to find and convenient to use.
The new Istick 100w differs from other smoking appliances in that it has one more switch. It is needed to lock the start button (fire). Such an innovation will exclude accidental pressing of the main button if the mod is carried in your pocket. The color of the device is a real classic. The main part is presented in three colors: black, steel and white.
Power of the device and its autonomous work
The design of the new smoking device makes it possible to use one or two batteries at once. The autonomy of work, as well as the maximum power of the device, depends on their number. One battery produces 75 watts, the simultaneous operation of two batteries produces 100 watts at once. According to the user manual, it is recommended to use batteries with a capacity of approximately 2 thousand mAh. But technology does not stand still, therefore, power supplies with increased capacity up to 3 thousand mAh are currently being produced, for example, the model 18650 LG HG2. This power allows you to give a charge for the Istick 100w tc for a fairly long time. The operability of such a device will remain for several days with active use. Thanks to these new technologies, the smoking device remains autonomous when using Geekvape Griffin tanks designed for one or two coils. Mod Eleaf Istick tc 100w is able to work even with such an atomizer as SMOK TF4 mini with its racks designed for four wires at once.
Battery Location
Batteries are installed on both sides of the device’s case, access to them is always open to change or remove them, just open the protective covers on the case. Istick 100w firmware allows you to use a parallel contact, which leads to two batteries. This technological solution allows you to connect both two and one battery at once, thereby limiting the power and maintaining the autonomy of the device during use. If the viper connected the batteries from the same manufacturer of the same power and series, this will help maintain their performance for a long time.
Also, the Istick pico 100w mod is capable of charging from a computer via a USB input. In this way, the device will charge in about 5 hours. Of the advantages of this method of battery charging, we can emphasize the fact that the new product can be charged without leaving the computer chair! However, for fast charging, you still have to use a voltage of 220 volts from the outlet.
Advanced device functionality
The power of the Istick 100w tc device with firmware is not the highest when compared with other similar devices. But the charge is enough for a long time. The manufacturer also made sure that the voltage was distributed efficiently. For this, modes such as:
- Bypass This is a fairly common and popular feature. It allows you to adjust the output voltage of the batteries. This feature is necessary for advanced users.
- Varivatt. This is a mode that allows you to control the voltage that is supplied to the spiral. Thanks to this function, the user can independently adjust the temperature of the steam, taking into account the composition of the charged liquid and the type of winding used in the device. Such a function is simply necessary if the spirals are made of cantal material.
- Steam temperature control is an intelligent mode that allows the Ismoka Eleaf Istick to control the heating of the coil. Correct and timely adjustment will avoid the occurrence of soot. To maximize the use of this feature, you need a spiral made of titanium, stainless steel, or nickel. They have the greatest degree of temperature change. For those buyers who love to experiment, they left TCR support, which allows you to manually set the temperature control parameter of the winding, consisting of several different materials of different thicknesses.
Important Features of Istick
An important feature due to which the viper should buy an Istick device is that in the temperature control mode the power is not fixed. Using the device, the user will be able to independently change the limit, and a modern unique board will maintain the set temperature. The spiral can be heated to 315 degrees.
Customer reviews
Buyers of the Istick 100w tc appreciated the capabilities of the new device. People especially liked the stylish design, several colors of the case. In addition, it fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and does not slip out while smoking. Due to its compact size, it fits in a purse or pocket, while two batteries can be placed in it at once.
Users also noticed that almost any windings in the case can be installed in the device. Steam from the body is discharged in sufficient volume. The lowest winding, calculated at 0.2 ohms, allows you to save a charge for a long time. At the same time, the power of 120 watts is enough for the smoker. Steam flies a lot, with about 0.6 mg of nicotine coming out.
Device disadvantages
In addition to laudatory reviews, there are also negative comments on the Internet about the “Istik” device. People complain about poor coverage. The paint peels off on the case after several months of active use.
