I remember your post when you were looking for a tank for your hubby. I think the ones you got coming will be great for him. Be sure to let us know too. :)
Ha! The v3 is for him, the v5 is for ME! :lol:

@Bonskibon - Just checked the website that had the ones I got, and it shows Black and SS still in stock, so he must have found more in their stockroom. He's lowered them back down a bunch, to $11.99 now. If you're interested...please PM me and I'll pass along the website.

I didn't realize there was a risk in upgrading. Thanks, now I won't try to upgrade

I have upgraded firmware in all 8 of my pico, both my istick 200's, 3 rx2/3's, 2 rx200s and 4 hohm wrecker g2's, multiple times, and never had an issue upgrading. If anything did happen you should be able to flash an old firmware on the device to get back to square 1.

all that being said, if you are a low wattage m2l vaper you probably don't need the new features like pre-heat. the only reason you might want to upgrade a pico would be for the new simplified interface or the smart mode if you use different toppers.

I never go above 30w and I'm usually around 13w, so I'll be good not upgrading? Knowing my luck it'll turn my mod into a paperweight!

The first time I tried to update the firmware on my Pico I used my POS laptop and DID brick it. I was able to save it by restoring the original firmware on my father in laws computer and then updated it from there. I like the bigger battery life indicator on the update, and I did manage to make a custom logo for it too.

I have 2 Picos updated and 2 not yet updated - don't notice any difference in operation in wattage mode.

Thank you for that. I'm just going to leave well enough alone. Although a custom logo does sound fun!

Do you think I will ever need to?

I wouldnt until an update gives you something you want or need.

I won an eVic VTC Mini here at ECF long ago. Originally It only went to 60 watts. I never went above 17.5. I didn't want or need 75 watts so it still only goes to 60 watts. I'm ok with that. My Pico goes to 75 watts but i vape a Kayfun lite plus V2 at 8-10 watts.

I don't like upgrades in general, either. I remember "things" being different every time I would get updates on my computer.

I still use (and love) Windows XP. When something goes terribly wrong, I just reformat and reinstall everything. I know I'll have to fold on it someday, but I'll go out kicking and screaming.

Same with me. I'm running Windows 10, and have a third party software to block incoming updates that they like to "force" on us. I like to have control over what's being updated.

Well, I think I have enough stuff to last me until I reach 110 (95 if my brother hasn't stocked up yet). Just picked up a 3D printer and having a ball building mods with it. That said, I still can't break the habit of checking the new products list at FastTech every morning and I will order some more and different control modules. I'm still using the module I put in an Altoids box going on 3 years ago.

How is everyone keeping their stock pile organized? Mine is getting bigger and out growing the chest I have it in. I really don't want to take away closet space or other family areas. Any ideas?
I started with a bottom drawer of a file cabinet I have in my closet. Graduated to the second drawer of a bigger file cabinet I have in the office. Then cleared everything out of the top drawer of this biggest file cabinet and am using the whole thing. Top drawer for new mods and new tanks. Bottom drawer for boxes labeled "spare parts for _____" I have about 6 of these spare parts boxes. Batteries and Orings are in the bottom drawer. (Who needs to keep track of important house papers anyway?)

I decided to go with under the bed storage! Besides the dust bunnies need some entertainment!

I have the two mods I use out. I have 3 mods and my spare attys in a drawer, then have three mods wrapped in rubber and stored in a metal ammo can in case of EMP.

I don't like windows 10 at all. Rather use xp too
