Review of Eleaf iStick Power 2/2C kit

Vapers who started vaping 5-6 years ago, with a little surprise and with a share of disappointment put on the shelf their box mods with sabom tanks and mechmods with drippers, confidently replacing them with compact sub-mods or POD-systems. But not everyone is in such a hurry to do so, as not everyone is ready to give preference to autonomy and compactness, giving preference to traditional devices. One of Eleaf’s legendary devices is the iStick Power, which is successfully used by many vapers until now, despite the fact that the model is already more than 4 years old. Deciding to please vapers again, the company decided to update the device, so two identical Eleaf iStick Power 2/2C kit models were released, the difference being in the power and type of battery used, but in any case the device turned out to be interesting and productive.

General data

Eleaf iStick Power 2/2C kit is a starter kit consisting of a GTL Pod Tank atomizer designed for GTL series vaporizers and a box mod powered by a built-in battery or two 18650 batteries. The atomizer has already been used by the company in other devices, and has proven itself with a positive side. The design of the new box mod meets all modern requirements of vapers, as it is characterized by ergonomics and practicality due to zinc alloy and eco-leather inserts. The device works depending on the modification at 80 or 160 watts and is designed to use a built-in battery of decent capacity or two 18650 batteries respectively. Box mod will please the vaper with its ease of use and good functionality. Eleaf iStick Power 2/2C kit is available in four versions: red-brown, light brown, blue-brown and brown-blue.

iStick Power 2/2C Mod Box Mod

Eleaf is rightfully considered a mastodont of the vape market, as its devices have been successfully used by many vapers for many years. One of the devices, which is practically a trademark of the company, is the iStick Power, which is successfully used by vapers to this day. The company’s decision to release Eleaf iStick Power 2/2C kit is quite logical and expected all manufacturers from time to time present devices that are a continuation of popular lines.

It is worth saying that two devices Eleaf iStick Power 2 and 2C kit were released almost simultaneously, and the difference in them is only in two points Power 2 power is 80 watts, and 2C 160 watts. The former uses a built-in 5000 mAh battery, while the latter has the option of installing two 18650 batteries. In all other aspects, these are absolutely identical devices, and it makes no sense to consider them separately.

Eleaf iStick Power 2/2C is made in a rather traditional form factor – a rectangular device with rounded edges and corners. The overall dimensions of the device are average 129.5 (132.8)*52.5*25 mm, so it fits well in the hand. Paying tribute to modern trends, the box mod is made of zinc alloy and eco-leather inserts, so it looks stylish and expensive.

The device is powered either by a built-in 5000 mAh battery or by two traditional 18650 batteries installed under the hinged cover from below.

The Eleaf iStick Power 2/2C is charged using the USB Type-C connector on the side of the device with a 2A current, so the charging time will be relatively short.

The device is controlled by the traditional for Eleaf devices Avatar chipset, thanks to which the vaper will get not only the traditional varivatta mode, but also two additional useful modes Smart and Voltage, which will simplify the process of using the device. The board raises the resistance from 0.1 Ohm, which is quite enough for most vapers.

Eleaf iStick Power 2/2C is equipped with a small color display, where you can find all the information necessary for a vaper – battery level, power, coil resistance, time and number of puffs. If desired, the vaper can always set one of four color schemes.

GTL Pod Tank Atomizer

The GTL Pod Tank atomizer is already familiar to vapers from the company’s other starter kits, and it has already proven itself with a positive side. In fact, this atomizer is a cartridge for pod mod and 510 adapter, but it is characterized by practicality and ease of use.

GTL Pod Tank is designed to use GTL series vaporizers, and the kit comes with two such vaporizers of 0.4 and 0.8 ohm resistance. The blowing is adjusted by means of a ring at the base of the tank.

In order to refill the cartridge, you need to remove it from the adapter, where it is held by magnets, turn it over, open the silicone plug and pour 4.5 ml of liquid.

Conclusions and impressions

It’s still hard to say whether the Eleaf iStick Power 2/2C kit will be as popular as its predecessor, because today the competition in this market segment is very serious. But in any case, a vaper who decides to buy Eleaf iStick Power 2/2C kit will get a practical and easy-to-use device that can please with good taste and ease of use.
