► Eleaf iStick Pico LE Mod; First impressions:
For several years Eleaf with the first Pico 75W with its unmistakable style has launched a new fashion, inspiring many other manufacturers. Eleaf has renewed the Pico several times and the subsequent various models have almost always resulted more or less consistent with the basic concept of the original model. So the first thing that caught my eye when I first picked up the mod was the incredibly light weight of just 83g which for a Mod made of metal is very little.
The dimensions in height (cap) are the same as the Pico 75 while the body of the new iStick Pico LE (like Pico-2) is even lower little than the very small progenitor.
► Eleaf iStick Pico LE Mod; side view:
Compared to Pico-2 on the side panels of Pico LE, decorations with leatherette covering have been added. These decorations may or may not satisfy, personally I find them pleasant to the touch and useful for a better grip of the hand. The model that was sent to me has a very nice and shiny chrome metal part, but which turns out to be a real fingerprint magnet. On the metal part we find on one side the writing "iStick Pico LE" and on the other side "Eleaf", these markings are unobtrusive and with a nice graphic style.
► Eleaf iStick Pico LE Mod; front and back view:
On the front we find a slightly protruding metal fire button, large and rather comfortable to operate, below there is the vertical screen with monochrome display, the information reported in VW mode are: charge indicator, lock / unlock symbol, Watt, duration of the last puff, graphic equalizer, resistance Ω, changing the display settings it is possible to read the Volts or the total number of puffs. In the lower part of the front there is the rocker with the "+ and -" adjustment buttons and the 5V / 2A USB Type-C charging socket.
At the rear, the handle is covered in imitation leather (like the side panels).
► Eleaf iStick Pico LE Mod; Over and under:
In order to accommodate larger atomizers Eleaf has opted for the same factor form as the Pico-2 which widens towards the front. The gold / plated pin is spring loaded and tanks up to 26mm in diameter can be installed on the Pico LE Mod without a protrusion. The inside of the cap / battery bears the negative pole symbol "-" while the positive pole "+" is marked on the bottom of the battery compartment.
Of course, being the iStick Pico LE a single-battery Mod, its use is preferable in combination with Tank Mtl for greater vaping autonomy. The battery cap has been lengthened to allow the lowering of the body compared to the old pico 75, in this way the dimensions in height remain contained even with atomizers that are not exactly small
The bottom of the Mod with asymmetrical design offers a large footprint that guarantees excellent stability. The 3 vent holes seem to be plugged by the positive pole that is present inside the compartment / battery, we are talking about a low-cost Mod but this solution does not seem good for safety.

► Eleaf iStick Pico LE Mod; Final Conclusions:
Eleaf's Pico 75 was my first device in August 2017, I bought it in the Black Gold version and it still works great after 5 years!
I loved this design very much and for a while I have only bought this type of Eleaf Mod for friends and family. With the introduction of the 85W Pico 25 the main problem of the small 75 was solved which was that of the 22mm limit for tanks, but the Pico 25 soon proved to be too delicate with the plastic parts that tended to crack too easily, who owns it knows what I'm talking about, many users after the first breakages have returned to the old but more robust 75.
Now the new iStick Pico LE Mod and Pico-2 can accommodate larger Tanks, however they look like a "nostalgia" operation by Eleaf that has reverted to a solid metal frame construction. The circuit of the iStick Pico LE Mod is really rich in graphic options and adjustments, it seems to me that it manages the life of the 18650 battery correctly, while the reading of the coils does not convince me too much, compared to the average of the Mods I own it seems to tend to report values higher, however this small difference does not seem to create problems at least in VW mode. Unfortunately this new circuit currently does not seem to be upgradeable with the Arctic-Fox FW. To conclude; of this new Pico I mainly appreciate the dimensions, the weight, the finishes, the return to "metal" and the asymmetrical design that makes it extremely stable wherever it is placed.
