Thinkin' of getting an iStick Pico 75W Mod.

I usually vape at 8W-11W (have never gone over 18W).

Will the 20A 18650's I already have (Samsung-25R and LG-HE4) be safe to use in it???

..

Very!

Yup. I love my tootsie roll LGs. The way I vape, they last forever. Two-three days without recharging.. :blush:

I also love the tootsie roll LG2 battery
but I think I MIGHT get a few more pufs out of my pink Sammy 30Q's

both rockin' good batteries (guess it's so close I don't know why I even posted) :eek:

:?::cry::?:

Although the Samsung-30Q and LG-HG2 are both 3000mAh...I tend to prefer the 20A LG-HG2 over the 15A 30Q...for the extra "head-room".

[Although, admittedly, since I have (as yet) never gone over 18Watts...the extra 5A is probably, for me, not that important...] [but it can't hurt...]

I don't remember the paticulars of the story, but was said the 30Q was 'under rated' for whatever it was designed initially for... ? :unsure:
but from the tests Mooch did, looks like the 30Q can get the job done... ;)

this is from the Mooch log (sure glad that dude is around) :thumb:

I too don't use the max, but extra space sure is comforting...

:evil:

So...you/Mooch are saying...the HG2 and 30Q are both 3000mAh...

and...the HG2 and 30Q (when tested by Mooch) both have an actual CDR of 20A...

BUT...the MCA of the HG2 is 20A vs. a MCA of the 30Q of 25A...

VERY INTERESTING!!!

[Certainly looks like...as my HG2's die off...there will be some 30Q's in my future...:headbang:]

Sooo, itty bitty people! What's the latest and the greatest on the scene? Did I miss anything spectacular?

FYI: I ordered a Pico and then promptly canceled my order. :facepalm:

I looked at the Knight 1 and then thought better of it.

I have too many mods as is. :D

I'll see myself out..........:facepalm:

I just ordered one and plan to use VCT5's in it and don't foresee any issues.

Like the rest of you, I really don't need it, but my newest mod is a Dripbox, which is tiny and I LOVE it, and it's under the $100 mark BTW (I'm getting bonus points tonight!) But I don't have a regulated mod that goes over 20 watts, and nothing that is capable of TC. I figure for under $30 I'll try it, and get 75 watts and something much smaller than anything I own to boot! I'm curious how it works with SS wire, may get some Ti in the future for the heck of it.
But I love that it's so small!

Argh... I know. But there are some design features I don't care for in both of them. And I'm seeing a lot of reports of the Pico trim getting discolored (tarnished?).
Oh, well. What about the Knight? What don't you care for with it? I really, really like the looks of it.
