iStick arrived, first impressions

So, i finally made the leap and got my first box mod. dance
I have a bunch of first generation Kangertech Evods, Evod Glass tanks, Protank Mini 3's (with updated airflow control) and an EMOW. Now I also have an iSick 30w.
I had to go out for a bit so I could not really test it yet, let alone i did not pick an atty to go with it yet (leaning toward a subtank mini), so for now i am using the EMOW with it. I am using a 1.5 ohm dual coil and I am vaping at 4.2v/10.3w. I am afraid to go any higher due to the coil rating and I do not have many spares on hand as I am waiting for some from Fasttech.

Now on to the good parts:
I used to joke that for me i would never get a box mod as it would feel like holding a pack of fags in my hand and smoking it all at once. Let me tell you i tried a few box mods and this is exactly how they felt to me. Then a few weeks ago while we were out, I finally got to see the exact size of an istick and knew it had to be mine! It totally feels comfy in my hand, it is so comfy in fact, I would say it is better than holding a rounded style battery. It also feels more solid in my hand, in fact i am typing this while holding on to it. Due to the shape of it, I am also not afraid to leave it standing up on my desk without some sort of stand for it. The clouds, oh wow the clouds! Since picking it up I cannot put it down. Really I am absolutely delighted with my shiny (well ok, black, not shiny) new purchase. For me I really thought i would finally stop dualing with the purchase of the EMOW, but there were times where I truly felt i was not getting enough power still, so I made the leap to vv/ww and I hope it helps.

The bad parts:
Really minor and mainly only cosmetic, my led screen is at a bit of an angle. My up and down arrows are also a bit at a tilt. Again, really minor as its not like I must stare at them constantly, so I can live with it.

Unfortunately as I have discovered the mini nautilus would be too small for me. The EMOW is something around 1.8ml and due to me often chain vaping, i can refill this about 2-3 times a day. This is something which really made me wish I got the EMOW Mega instead, just 3 days after owning the EMOW. :/ That and I must admit, there is some cosmetic things I really dislike about the Aspire tanks that I cannot look past, which is why i am having such a hard time picking a tank. :(
The only thing holding me back on a subtank mini is I read more people saying the subtanks are for lung hitters only, but at the same time mini and nano owners say those versions are easier to do mouth to lung hits on, so long as you adjust the airflow and possibly change the drip tip to a smaller bore as well to make it work for you.

I want an atty which is very versatile and gives me a lot of options to grow in to as I move more forward in vaping and will be the last tank I buy for awhile.

Strange, all my shops list at 1.8ml for the emow and its close to what I get. Either way +.2-.4 ml is not much of an improvement for me to buy a naut mini, as well as a stainless steel tank upgrade for it, as I hate the plain glass look on it.
I did not even think of the kayfuns, will look at those a bit later.

Hey, I get it and it is okay. :) Never know, maybe I end up with it at some point. After all I ended up with an istick and said i would never get one! ;)
