As a big fan of the original iStick Power, I was thrilled to review this incredible piece of kit. And guess what? Eleaf has only gone and made it even better.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Tank capacity – 2ml (TPD Version)
- Battery capacity- Integrated 5,000mAh
- Output modes – VW/VV/Smart mode

- Approximate Weight – 230g
The iStick Power 2 incorporates both a stylish and rugged feel. Dual coloured leather panelling adorns the outer grip and adds an air of charming sophistication to the boxy, matte gunmetal exterior. This kit is definitely on the bulkier side, so fitting it into small pockets is not the easiest of jobs, so I prefer to store it in a bag.
Wattage is easily controlled, firing time is instantaneous, charging is effortless and it uses a standard 510 connection, allowing you to use your favourite tank or RBA on the go.
This mod boasts several vaping modes including Power Mode (adjustable wattage), Voltage Mode (adjustable voltage) and Smart Mode (where the device will automatically recommend the best wattage for the coil you are using).
A 0.96″ colour screen displays information such as wattage/voltage, a puff counter and a battery indicator. It is very straightforward to navigate and I love that you can choose colour themes via the on- screen menu.
The iStick Power 2 goes from just 1W all the way up to a comfortable 80W, adjusted by + and -buttons, in 0.5W increments. I found this to be more than enough when using the included GTL Pod Tank and 0.8 Ohm/1.2 Ohm coils.
Battery Life
One of the main selling points has to be the hefty 5,000mAh integrated battery. It can easily last days of moderate use and charges incredibly quickly via 2A USB-C.
I felt that this is a definite game changer for anyone that has limited access to power outlets, such as when on long journeys.
GTL Pod Tank
This kit arrived with the GTL Pod Tank, which is extremely versatile and affordable. It is compatible with 1.2 Ohm, 0.8 Ohm and 0.4 Ohm GTL coils, making it a great choice for any vaper.
The range of coils and airflow control means it can be used by DTL vapers at higher wattages as well as MTL vapers at low wattages, depending on what coil you are using and how you modify the airflow ring.
The unique design of this tank involves two main parts. First the tank itself – this holds the coil and e-liquid and has powerful magnets that affix it to the second part – the 510 connection adapter. This makes it compatible with a huge number of other devices that also use a 510 pin. The adapter just increases the already impressive and versatile nature of this kit as a whole.
GTL Coils
One of its best features is the simple, no hassle push-fit coil installation process. It removes any inconvenience and saves time when swapping those coils out.
I also noticed that the GTL coils seemed to wick far quicker in comparison to similar coils from other vape brands, especially as I was using 70 percent VG e-liquid.
Filling is just as straightforward, there is a small hole on the base of the tank and it is secured by a rubber gasket, meaning it can be filled with the coil in place and no messy unfastening of tanks nor coils.
Overall thoughts on the Eleaf iStick Power 2
Overall, I was blown away by this device. The versatility factor is off the scale, it really is a perfect choice for all levels of vapers. The massive battery capacity also is a key factor in the sure success that this kit will attain
Pros
- An extremely well-rounded device for any vaper
- The battery life is out of this world
