Better Mod - Istick pico 75w or Kbox mini 50w?

[truztno1]

OK, so i have 2 mods at the moment. both of em have the exact same cleito exo tanks on em.

What i want to know, is which mod is better? I know the istick has a better screen/upgradable firmware and higher wattage capabilities...but which is best for durability and lasting performance?

Ive heard that kanger is like the honda civic of mods...meaning itlll last and perform forever..and Im worried that because my girlfriend dropped the istick so many times..that its gonna fault out on me....

so, which do you think i should go with? The istick pico 75 or the kbox mini 50?

thanks!!

I say the Pico... I like the Kanger tanks, but not a fan of their mods, but to each their own. How about getting both?

I would say the Pico as well. But have at least 2 mods on hand. You never know when one will flake out on you

So are you saying you only want one device?

I got a Pico and LOVE it. I went to leave a review for it today and it has been discontinued and replaced by another Pico that takes the larger battery or the 18650. I was disappointed because the new one is also a little larger in size grrrr, this one fits perfect in my hand.

I am pretty sure we can still find them now. I hesitate because I don't "need" it and the newer ones coming out will do either battery, and it could be phased out along with the 18650 batteries pretty soon. I don't know as I have only been vaping off analogs 4 weeks this Friday.

I am going to use the two I have now and hold off in case everything changes, but we do need two working units!

I'm still finding plenty of the original Pico 75w still available (still listed on Eleaf's site also), in multiple colors/finishes, so I don't believe they have been discontinued (perhaps just with the vendor that @DQuit used). Eleaf have since came out with the Pico 25, which is 85w and will accommodate tanks up to 25mm and uses the same 18650 battery as the original. The Pico Mega is the version that will utilize either a 18650 or a 26650 battery, but is limited to 22mm (and 'some' 23mm) tanks.

Different strokes for different folks. My favorite mod, as I have several of the original version and a few of the 25 version.

I agree, I just found it this morning in stock at my main online vendor site and I'll be ordering it with some other coils. I think that other site just discontinued them and had it listed as "discontinued from manufacturer" and put up the Pico Mega to replace it.

They will not be phasing out 18650's anytime soon. Even if they try, you will still be able to aquire them. I don't think they're going anywhere.

I've heard and experienced quite the opposite with the kbox. Mine died irreparably in a few weeks. You may of course have a good one.

I'm like @RainSong when it comes to Kanger. I love their tanks but their mods are middle of the pack on their best day. The Pico is the way to go. I'd get two or three, if I were you.

 

[Letitia]

You should get Picos together & do a family pic for us @Coastal Cowboy.

 

[Beamslider]

The Kanger mods all seem to drain batteries faster than the picos. a lot faster.

 

[Letitia]

Never had a Kanger mod, Dripbox is the only mod they have i read anything positive about. Loved their Subtank mini. Still recommend it. Need to find out more about top tank & if it is good and user friendly for newer vaper.

 

[RainSong]

I've got 4 picos, errr, make that 3, I gave one away and think they are good little mods. I'd go with a Pico over a kbox. We have one kbox around, the hubby uses it, but I wouldn't buy another.

i chain vape,, (means i vape a lot and use the mods a lot),,,,i have never had any of my 3 kangers last more than 3 or 4 months. so far 1+ years use of a pico #2,,, technically i am just now using pico #3,,#2 lives in my car as a 'on the go back up' and #1 has a dead screen,, but still works,, but i dont want to trust it,, i keep it for parts.

The 20700 is being used by tesla, but not necessarily by other car makers. Iirc the leaf uses 18650 and there is more of those out than tesla. I wouldn't worry about it for at least 5 or ten years
