Just for interest sake, the manufacturer recommends a 1000mA charger as that is the maximum current the little charge chip on the iStick can handle. Of course 500mA will work fine, albeit a tad slower, as well.

That's very helpful info thanks! I do have a 1A charger around here somewhere - will give it a go for the next cycle and report back
@Jacob_Ventura are you using USB3 to charge? USB3 outputs 900mAh (vs USB2's 500mAh) so that would explain the faster speed.
@free3dom ,yes usb three, I should have mentioned it
Thanks for confirming
That should mean we can get close to 1hr charge time using a 1A charger
Yip, Im thinking that too, on the next charge cycle Im going to try usb 3 and the my samsung charger which is 5v 0.7A but I guessing usb3 is going to be the faster option here.
Im getting some crazy vape times here So I started using my Samsung charger which is a 5v 0.7A output and got 20hrs of vape time on the second charge and now it looks like I'm going to hit 21hrs on my third charge! 
This little blue power house is making me happier each day 
If I hit 22hrs Ill be forced to admit that this thing is perfect and would have to buy another one
@free3dom Getting about 2hrs 25mins with the Samsung charger
Winning!

I have tried using my 1A charger and it still took 2h20m to charge (10min faster than my 500mA one), so it seems that it maxes out somewhere around 500-600mA (guessing). All in all, 2.5hrs charge time is fine by me as I'm still getting 2.5 days worth of use out of it.
So far I have been very impressed by this little monster, absolutely perfect for my needs
Might also have to consider getting it a friend
Just a quick question - what tanks are you guys running on the iStick? I am seriously thinking of getting one, but don't want to have to fork out for new tanks as well.
I am using a mAN or Kayfun 3.1 clone
I run both my Kayfun and my MPT3 on the iStick. Others i've seen run Nautilus (Std+Mini), MOW, RDA/RBAs...pretty much anything.
mAN all the way.
I'm using Aerotank V2 and Kayfun 3.1
Im running a Vision Gtank - http://www.ecigssa.co.za/threads/vision-g-tank.1666/
What tank are you currently using @Matuka ?
Either way its like @free3dom said, people are running anything from clearomizers to drippers so you should be fine.
I have my best coil yet in the Kayfun (1.3 ohm) and picked up a little something from Vape King to match the black of the iStick. I love the new look:
