It does look more of a "flat" white than the "opalescent" (pearlscent ?) of my VTC.
Too bad... that one lives in a sleeve and I don't have one coming with the PICO. :(

Grabbed a Triton rba head as well... in case the tank is worth using long term. :D
Just from the video it looks to be a gloss white to me. My VTC Mini is more of a flat white. I thought it would be glossy like my red one.

!!! G*NOTE FIVE !!!

It's been difficult to find video of the white one. Here's one posted a few days ago though....


That's what I thought too, but we'll find out tonight when I open the mail. :thumbs:
So excited for you! You'll be one of the very first to receive it! I also got the white. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Mine came yesterday from MVS, they are fast. Basically a VTC MINI, as they are sister companies, just shorter and a bit wider. Screen is of course smaller, and not great, but readable. Put a titanium coil (bought elsewhere) in the included Melo 3 tank, VAPE is comparable to a CUBIS and TRON tank, seems pretty good so far, but if you have a tank you already like, no huge improvements. Over time I'll see how I like the tank. Kit only came with two coils, didn't note what they were as I mostly use TI. I'll play with the RTA down the road.

As far as using a smaller battery and finding or making a flush cap, when a tanks on the top, that becomes the height of the mod anyhow, so now I realize having more runtime and amps with an 18650, makes more sense.

I totally agree. But there are those who dislike the 10mm bump. Whoda thunkit? :|

I opted to wait till the Mod only comes in stock, last thing I need is another tank. Although for the few extra bucks I would have the full kit a week or two sooner. VapeNW says they should start to ship next week some time.

Thank God this isn't for me and the wife has no idea about me getting it for her or the anticipation would be killing her! lol

I think the idea... my thinking anyway... was to enable larger diameter toppers.

Whatever the Melo diameter (22mm, 23mm ?) is there any gap to the batt cap?

Had thought as well about some of the heatsink risers to get over the cap.

No real gap, doubt a 23mm would fit. All mine are 22mm. A smaller cap would have to be completely FLUSH, not sure if an 18500 or other stock lithium would work, though the positive pin on the bottom is spring loaded, but not much travel.

I have it and in the first fifteen minutes I'm loving the mod, size weight, etc. Like the iStick 50, it begs to be fired with the index finger which I love even though I fire all devices except the 50 with my thumb. With a battery, it's smaller and much lighter than the Tesla Nano 60, about the same weight as an iStick 40. I almost want to say light than that even, yet it feels solid with no rattling.

My issue is with the tank. My hands are raw from trying to get the top off to fill it. I still haven't been able to do it. I may give up on it tonight. I'm afraid of breaking the glass in my hand with how tight I'm gripping it. I can't even tell if it's turning, yet I think it is - I assume it's not though.

Try putting on a pair of Rubber Gloves. Or a piece of Cling Wrap over the Glass.

Once you get it Off the first time, I'm sure it will be Much Easier subsequent times.

You rock. I was looking all over for something and rubber gloves did the trick. Thanks!

Hey No Problem.

I've run into an RTA or two that was on Tighter than the Lug Nuts on my car. But Rubber Gloves have Never Failed me.

BTW - Here is a Handy Tool that EVER Vaper should have in their Arsenal...

I can see the gap. I'd bet it's .5mm, which means 23mm works, not 25mm.
