Istick Pico breaks to easily - stick with it or go for alternative?

I wondered if there is something more robust than the pico? I saw there was one from Pipeline with stainless steel components but it seems that it is not produced anymore.

At the moment I still have the Pico v1 b. I like the look. But the cap for the battery is jumping of sometimes. The thread might be worn out. Also overall it doesnt look good anymore.

I wonder if I should go for pico v2. What do you think pico 1 vs pico 2?

Also is there something out there that is also so nice and small but maybe has higher quality materials?

Pod, again

Ever since pod type vapes came out, I get curious from time to time and have to try whatever is new and innovative. The idea of a smallish and fairly discreet device does have some appeal. This time around I got myself a vaporesso luxe qs. It seems to be a somewhat restricted DL, I can get a pretty decent hit off it and it works ok for MTL as well. The only problem I found was the pod is kinda hard to remove, especially in the morning when my joints are stiff and don't want to do anything yet. So, I went and bought a Smok, yes I know what I said about Smok on another thread hahaha, RPM 40. It wasn't expensive and neither was the luxe qs. I can pull the pod much easier on the RPM but I don't care for the side fill hole at all. The plug is tedious to replace after filling because the actual fill hole is too tiny

Battery smoked ?

The other day I placed a Molicel M35A 18650 3500mAh 10A Battery into my Efest Slim K4 Battery Charger and it immediately smoked the battery upon contact with the positive terminal. I always purchase batteries and chargers from 18650 Battery store and this battery was probably close to its end of cycle life. Charger still works fine but would it be a good idea to replace it ? I’m kind of taking it as a battery gone bad been vaping for a long time but have kind of neglected to educate myself a little better on batteries beyond the basics.

thx for help

Voltrove 25 v.3 RTA Reviewed by SessionDrummer

1 Lede.jpg



If you've never heard of, or decided to purchase a Voltrove, you MIGHT want to read this review. This one is claimed to be a real flavor chucker, AND in either Single, or Dual coil mode, so we will just see about that. Hang on, buckle up, grab a drink, and enjoy the ride !!!!!

**Specs:**



* 304 stainless steel construction.
* 810 Wide bore, shorty Delrin drip tip.
* Easy to build on postless deck design.
* Glass straight tank = 4mL
* Glass bubble tank = 6mL
* Tinted glass on black RTAs won't peel.
* Removable AFC
* Keyed top cap


**What's Included:**


* 25mm v3 RTA (straight tank installed)
* Bubble tank section
* Spare o-ring/screw kit
* O-ring sizer

I decided to pick the 25v3, and a few juices from Joe over at Royal Vapes in the UK. I also decided to use 3 of his juices to test this RTA out, and I'll link to EVERYTHING in the "Linkage" section below the review.

2 Royal Vapes.jpg



Now NORMALLY I'd just "Blah, blah, blah", and gloss over the box, but this one, was a work of art ...

3 Box.jpg



And, because Mark KNEW how hard these boxes in boxes can be to slide out, he included a pull tab ...

4 Box Bottom.jpg


5 Box Open.jpg


5a Box Open 2.jpg



Included were an o-ring guide card, spare o-rings, and grub screws ..

6 Extras.jpg



Wait, where's the instructions, and what's a o-ring guide card ??

7 O-ring Guide.jpg



Even THOUGH there were NO coils, instructions, or tips and tricks included, the o-rings, grub screws, and driver were ABOVE average, especially the grub screws ....

8 Extras 2.jpg



I chose the Black over the Stainless, as the black came with tinted glass, that was almost reflective, and VERY hard to photograph. The 4ml flat glass came pre-installed, along with the spare 6ml bubble glass ...

A visit to Chemnovatic...

I dont quite know where this one would go in the forum, I usually post in the reviews section but this isn't really a review, it's more of a look at Chemnovatic in Lublin, Poland.

This is a three-parter, with all three parts for Chemnovatic released on the channel today. It's a discussion on Nic Salts, nicotine in general, Chemnovatic as a company and other stuff that DIY vapers might be interested in.

All three episodes covering Chemnovatic are part of Vaping/Ecig101 Season 3, which is covering everything to do with e-liquids...

MOV (mountain oak vapor) alternative

I used Mountain Oak Vapors for years and stocked up before they stopped online sales. My stock is getting low and the closest physical store is about 10 hours away so not an option. I can't find any other eliquid I like as much. Anyone familar with MOV tobacco flavors have any suggestion of any similar alternatives? I used MOV Wrangler, (tobacco) Classic Country, (a RY4ish) Americano a (coffee tobacco) and occasionally Sunday Morning a natural extract (coffee tobacco), and a couple more tobaccos Gambler and Outlaw. The MOV liquids are so well balanced never to much of anything, always good for all day vape and never to sweet. The natural extracts were brutal on coils but I used them rarely.



I should point out that I'm a MTL guy and use the go to MTL type RTAs, Kayfun Prime and similar with cotton wicked single coils. Usually build 1.5ish coils at run at about 10 watts so my liquid is usually around 12 to 15 MG, average 50/50 pg/vg ratio.

When liquid is heavy VG and thicker I will thin it with a squirt of PG.



So many new MTL liquid is very strong salt and I find it to strong for RTAs even if they are MTL type. I'm guessing the high NIC salts are for POD type device? I am gathering a lot of liquid that will go to waste as I try to find suitable MOV alts.

Thanks for any insight.

UWELL TENET & TENET KOKO POD KIT REVIEWED BY BIGBOB2322

Once again I welcome all of you back for today's review of the Tenet and Tenet Pod Kits from UWELL that were supplied to me from HealthCabin for review. Both of these kits are almost identical as far as vape features go but as you will see, are very different in form. I will say that both are really geared towards MTL vaping but you can get a tight RDL vape from them. Both of these use a internal battery ( TENET - 750MaH ) - ( TENET KOKO - 950MaH ) and use the Caliburn G and G2 coils. As always lets start out with some information on both devices then I'll give my feelings and findings on them in my review.

Steam Crave Meson AIO

I received mine a couple of days ago, here's my take on it.
Lots of air, lots of power.
If you are a high power wattage vaper and want to do that with a Boro AIO this is for you.

The pros: 21700 battery. 2 amp onboard charging.
Dual coil deck and mesh deck included. Includes lots of extras.
The deck can be removed without emptying the tank.

The cons: Heavy.
No wattage adjustment in TC mode.
No TCR adjustment in TC mode, just Ni,Ti and SS.
TC does work but you better have some high power coils installed as the boost/preheat is high.

To sum it up, it works very well in wattage mode, TC not so much.

Bench Test Results: Epoch 28B - 40A 2800mAh 18650

These tests below only note my personal ESTIMATED ratings for the batteries I tested at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, Murata, LG, Panasonic, Molicel, or Sanyo can change at any time! This can be one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.

Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of property damage, personal injury, or even death. Never use them outside of a fully protected battery pack and you use them at your own risk. Never exceed the battery’s true continuous discharge rating (CDR), never let it get colder than 0°C or hotter than 60°C, and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition. Never use a battery that is physically damaged in any way.

Testing batteries at their limits is dangerous and should never be attempted by anyone who has not thoroughly studied the dangers involved, understands the risks, has the proper equipment, and takes all appropriate safety precautions.

If the battery has only one current rating number, or if it only says "max", then I have to assume the battery is rated at that current level for any type of discharge, including continuous.

A2E184B8-9C3E-4599-881B-64D18B2289CD.jpegF96D475F-DDE0-48F7-9BDC-2FFCAAA48A60.jpeg8C9D6F9E-AC36-4DBF-8FA7-1BC3E2FB7A67.jpeg26905E5A-E4A9-438C-A02C-F2D3E9CB97A1.jpegC7A54393-8373-4591-AAB9-C09775BCF9A4.jpeg


Test Results
This cell performs a little better than the Molicel P28A, which is expected if it is indeed a P28B rewrap. I cannot guarantee that this cell is a Molicel P28B rewrap but due to its appearance, performance, and some other info I cannot discuss, in my opinion this is a rewrap of the Molicel P28B. That cell is the all-around best performing 18650 we can buy in my opinion.

The P28B is not yet in production so these would be sample “pre-production” cells sent to Molicel’s customers for testing and feedback.

This cell’s internal resistance is a bit lower than the P28A so it runs a few degrees cooler at high power levels. At 10A they performed the same in my testing. At 20A the Epoch ran for about 3% longer. At 30A the Epoch ran for about 8% longer.

The Epoch’s delivered an average of 2758mAh. This is well above the P28B’s 2650mAh minimum capacity rating but below the 2800mAh typical capacity rating. This might be due to these cells being pre-production P28B samples and not fully tweaked yet.

The 40A rating of these Epoch cells is not a true continuous rating IMO. The P28B is rated at 40A in the one-page spec sheet but that rating is temperature-limited to 80°C. When the cell gets that hot you must stop. Since the P28B would reach about 100°C at 40A you must stop about 2/3 of the way through the discharge.

So while, technically, the 40A rating for these cells is accurate I am disappointed that there is no mention on the wrap that it’s not a true continuous current rating (which can be used to compare against other cells). Most applications will never run this cell continuously at such high power levels but I believe strongly in accurate, consistently set ratings. 18650BatteryStore contacted me though and said that the wrap will be changed to add a continuous current rating and list the 40A rating as temperature-limited. This is great news!

Since the Epoch 28B reaches about 86°C at 30A (down to 2.5V) I am giving it an estimated 25A continuous and 40A temp-limited rating.

This cell is double-wrapped, a good thing for durability, but Molicels are already a little bit larger than most other cells. That can make this Epoch a tight fit in some devices. I recommend testing their size before committing to a large purchase if other cells are already a snug fit.
