Eleaf iStick Pico or Innokin Cortex TC?

[Serrob98]

Hi guys, im new to the forums and to the vaping world.
I can't decide between those 2 models.
Which one gives the best vaping experience?
And the best flavour tastes?

The question you are asking is... Do we prefer the Innokin tank or the Eleaf tank? The power source is not where you need to look.

Perhaps you can google "Melo III vs. iSub S"

I would choose the Melo III. I am 100% sure on that. The Innokin might be expensive too depending where you live.

Never used The innokin mod but i like the Pico so much i bought two of them.

If you plan on using 24 mm attys and larger they wont fit on the Pico.

My Second favorite choice is the eVic VTC Mini.

But in general, is better the Pico or the Cortex? Im really new to this world...i don't understand that much :/

I have no experience with the cortex. The pico is my favorite mod to carry around because it seems to be the smallest available to carry an 18650 and do temp control.

I like the Pico, but I also don't have the Cortex. You being new to mods please be sure to purchase a good reputable battery for your mod.

The Pico & Melo III is the most versatile of the two...

I have to admit (having some Pricey mods) there is no better deal in vaping than the Pico.
As stated above,,the pleasure experience will be determined by the atomizer..

I like the pico withe mello 3 tank and .3 coils its not bad gives decent flavor but i really like my tobeco super tank mini with .2 or .5 tobeco coils on my pico good flavor and nice couds.

The Pico and the Cortex are both 'mods' or batteries (if you want to call them that).
They come with a tank. You need to compare the tanks not the mods.
I understand, you need to translate maybe.. ??

I would buy the Pico package (kit) for a few reasons.

1. better tanks (i.m.o.) with more options too.
2. independent battery inside the mod.
3. smaller.
4. cheaper.

I would buy the Cortex because I feel the quality of Innokin products is much better than the quality of Eleaf products. just from my own experience.

In a way, that is true.
If I had to go to a desert island with just one kit, I'd choose Innokin every time....
Good point!

I have the Pico and have been happy with it. I haven't had a Innokin product in quite some time, but the 3 Innokin iTaste VV3s that I had only lasted 3-6 months. Maybe their newer products are better, I'm not sure. The Pico has replaceable battieies and the Cortex does not. This means that the Cortex is a paperweight when the battery dies. I'm not a big fan of the Melo III tank, that comes with the Pico. There are better tanks imho and the Pico can be bought without the tank if you like. The best tank depends on if you want to vape mouth-to-lung (like most people smoke cigs) or direct-lung, which is the technique that is usually used with sub-ohm tanks.

you can pick up the pico mod only on direct vape right now for 26 bucks

I LOVE my Pico's because they are more pocket friendly than other mods that uses 18650 batteries

Not sure which one you would Like Better?

But as the Mods go, I would Always lean towards a Mod that uses a Replaceable Battery.

No question about that , Innokin makes much higher quality mods , Eleaf makes more attractive mods and concentrates on building the smallest mods but engineering quality there is no comparison.

Phil Busardo said the same when someone asked him about those two companies , he toured the Joytech factory and was appalled at the lack of quality and Joytech /Eleaf are two of the same.

Their complete lack of a warranty despite what they say is another reason i would never do business with them.

Then they upped their game. When my VV3 died after three mouths I emailed Innokin and was told that all their warranties were taken care of by their vendors. The vendor told me tough luck. My other two VV3s died after 6 months. Next to the Vamo, there were more complaints here about SVDs and VTRs, than just about anything else. So, hopefully those days are gone.

PS I didn't own one, but their MVPs did seem to be pretty well thought of, so I guess it was somewhat of a mixed bag. I'm just not sure I'd give them another shot or not.

VV3's & 4's and the old Vamo were are not good examples so i agree with you there . I wasn't impressed with the VTR engineering either , the mod was a tank though .

A great example of how good Innokin engineering is , is the SVD 2.0 , many consider that more stellar than even a Provari , mind boggling how good that thing is but it's Evolve 20 watt DNA chip came too late so it never took off .

Good points on your part , those mods you mentioned other than the MVP are disappointing .
