    I'm gonna ask the experts.

    I was vaping for years before subohming, so believe me when I say I'm not pushing the .5ohm coil heads, but as I sort of said above you'll have to just kind of figure out what works for you both in terms of resistance and nicotine level. You may find that you are better off using a slightly...

    Mine too, so that's why I got the black because all of my recent toppers were purchased to match black mods. But they'd look great on the grey too, so would stainless. Especially body-only they're so inexpensive. Hell, I'd consider getting a second full kit because that Melo 3 is one awesome...

    Need Help Choosing First E Cig

    Because you said originally that you don't want to be relegated to a certain "make" for your coils, in the future there are a few tanks that can use a wide range of coil heads, including some from other companies. For example, the Melo 2/3 and Aspire 2, plus some Triton coil heads are all...

    Eleaf iStick "pico"

    You definitely can. There are a number of comfortable ways to hold it IMO. The way I described is how I hold it most often, but it's so small and light even with the battery that I realized fiddling with it just now that sometimes I sort of just hold it with my thumb and middle finger and have...

    I love how mine looks. But then, I prefer black devices to any other color usually. I liked the Pewtery Pico. I'm half considering just getting that, too.

    Eleaf iStick "pico"

    For those worried about the size and holding/firing, I have a large hand and what I do is grip mine with my whole fist with my pinky resting on the bottom and fire with the crook of my thumb. Kind of hard to explain but it actually feels surprisingly nice. Ed: And I say black!! :) Ed ed: also...

    Eleaf iStick "pico"

    Yeah, I agree, beautiful!! I did have one that looked exactly like that from CV but it was a different shape... not the Ming Vase but the "standard" shape before that. It broke a long time ago unfortunately but was my favorite DT, so I'm watching closely myself... would love a replacement for it!

    Reminds me of the old cherry vape 510 DTs but I don't think that's what it is!

    @clnire I think he's saying that the 18650 came without a wrapper. @Exchaner yeah, the HG2 may last longer in a mech since the Pico needs power for the board and to do all its regulated. It's fairly efficient for what it is though. For devices and whatnot I love VapeNW; they're actually...

    I'm gonna ask the experts.

    Yes, KangerTech makes a wide range of coils for the Subtank/Toptank line, including those you mentioned. Your particular battery either operates at a constant voltage somewhere around 3.7-4V or else will start around 4.2volts fully charged and slowly drain as you use it (I'm just not sure which...

    Are you comparing the HG2 on the Pico with other single 18650 mods running at similar wattage and resistance? Just checking, but you've been here well long enough to know that this can effect battery life so I don't mean to be patronizing by asking :) I am finding the Pico to be pretty efficient...

    Eleaf iStick "pico"

    + a billion. I know I said this above, but the battery life in the Pico is so much better than the 60W TC. I usually use VTC4s in mine because I like being able to use the whole range of power but I also have a couple of HG2s for when I don't need to go above 60W and the battery life is...

    Joyetech Cuboid displaying "Atomizer Short"

    Is your firmware updated? Check all connections, anything that screws down. Wipe your Cuboid 510 connector and any end pins with a paper towel lightly wet with rubbing alcohol. Just because the stock coil is rated for .15ohm doesn't mean it can't read a little higher. This is actually...

    Eleaf iStick "pico"

    Well yes, I was more driving at the size of the set-up with the tank attached since a battery is fairly useless without a topper :) Being that the eGo ONE is essentially an updated eGo battery, that's one way to go smaller in certain dimensions. But currently my Pico is a whopping 80mm total in...

    Eleaf iStick "pico"

    See, case in point! That's a nice looking set up but it's tall and hard to hide. I think the idea of the Pico being a "stealth" device has more to do with one's ability to carry it in their hand without anyone knowing it was there. As we've established, once you take a puff that sort of defeats...

    Eleaf iStick "pico"

    It is all relative. This is unquestionably a stealthier mod than most that take removable 18650s. It is significantly smaller than its basic predecessor, the iStick 60WTC, and even with a (short) RDA attached, is about the same height as the original iStick and iStick 30W. That is a TINY mod for...

    Eleaf iStick "pico"

    That's pretty much what I thought. I mean, it doesn't really move unless I want it to but this isn't my first time at the rodeo and I'm pretty certain it shouldn't be so loose. It does get knocked around easily, the AFC itself I mean. Unfortunately I received a Griffin in the same order that had...

    coil help trying to vape higher than 80 watts

    Exactly, that's pretty much where I am, too. I have a 150W and a 200W mod, a couple actually, and rarely go past 50-60 or so. Sure, sometimes it's fun to push it even higher but for me, it's not necessary to do all the time. I realize others have different preferences, but the one thing that is...

    Also, the "side fill" on the Lyche, at least, is basically top fill. It looks barely any different than where the top fill on the Melo 2 is placed.

    Eleaf iStick "pico"

    I got my Pico about two weeks ago and it's my new favorite thing ever. I am so, so impressed with it. I can't believe how well it works throughout the modes, and the battery life/efficiency is much improved over the 60W. I was using a 2500mah in the 60W and barely getting a few hours from it...
