Eleaf iStick "pico"

[Garnoch]

That's about how much I vape too, but you make a great point that I didn't write in my post - On average I'm usually around 37 watts. At 30 watts, I would get an istick 30 to last all day. I grabbed an istick 40 originally because 30 felt like a little less than I wanted but when I did that, combined with my how I vape, I couldn't make it all day on one charge. If I could get the LG HG2 to last all day in TC mode, I might consider switching to TC full time. If not, I'll probably go back to wattage mode. No biggie swapping out a battery - or even a mod for that matter.

Yep, exactly. That test starts this morning in fact.

With the way I vape, I had said I got almost exactly 12 hours with the 3000 mAh battery at like 37 watts. All day today I ran a TC coil at 39 watts and 500 degrees to see how long the battery would last me, hoping I'd get some more out of it. It also lasted 12 hours though - almost to the minute. Considering that, I won't bother any more with the Triton Ni200 TC coil since I much prefer the flavor of the Triton Clapton. I have some Ccell TC coils showing up on Thursday though to try out.

The mod itself, I'm loving. I fire all my previous mods with my thumb except my iStick 50 and I loved the rounded grip of that thing and just giving it a squeeze and letting my index finger fire it up, but I wanted something smaller so I used my 40, Castle and lately Tesla Nano 60 way more. The iStick 40 and Castle wouldn't make it through the day, but the Tesla just made it - the 50 made it and then some. But I'd always pick the 50 up and think, man, if I could have this shape and basic width and length but less height, I'd be in heaven. Obviously I jumped on ordering the Pico real fast after seeing and had no reservations about getting back into removable batteries. I even like the look of the cap, I think it adds style where the 50 just looked basic - plus the cap is of course necessary to make it so short overall. I just think it was a brilliant design choice. I can easily pick at least one problem with all my previous mods, but so far I don't have any with the Pico. I just hope it holds up. Time will tell.

Smaller and smaller every month, I like it. I'm a couple hours in with this Pico, so far so good, solid little device with a nice bright display, much brighter than the dim and tough to read Vaporflask Lite, quality threading on the battery cap and pretty nice top to bottom.

For the price I don't think you can do much better than one of these little guys.

Well I think I'm about finished testing the kit included MELO 3 tank. I like many things about the tank design, but it FAILS in my opinion on one of the most important areas, LACK OF FLAVOR! You can read more in the thread I created just for the tank, compared to the new SubTank Mini TopFill and Cubis tank. Unfortunately the Melo 3 is headed for the junk pile!

My address is....

They have the Pico with the Melo III tank for $37.99 at 101vape.com.

I ordered a couple things (about $40 total) from them Friday and it arrive in my mailbox Monday at noon. Pretty impressive.

I ordered my Pico from VapeNW as mod only. Boy did I screw up, if I had ordered the Kit I would have it already. This just makes no sense. Was eleaf looking to dump all their excess melo tanks first before they sold the mod only?

This is not specific to Eleaf. Many manufacturers will sell the kit first then later come out with the mod only.



!!! G*NOTE FIVE !!!

Free shipping? I looked I think free shipping is at $75. Or was there a coupon code for free shipping?

Eye candy? Lol!

Would you link me to the seller on eBay with the batteries please? I think it's the same one I've purchased batteries from before.

I purchased them from this person. I checked the feedback of all these people. A lot of people had at least a couple of claims of counterfeit. This guy didn't have any, but doesn't have much feedback. He was the cheapest for 2 though, so I ordered it.

I hope he gives me the case too, cuz probably would have paid the extra 30 cents to go with the other seller had I seen the post before my order.

That white one is cute (I'm a guy lol), but I think it would get dirty too easily. I think I want to get white for my next car though. I'll just wash it often.

 

[aznnp77]

I'm sure they have a good reason for this style pricing structure, I definitely don't understand it...maybe they're hoping for a few buyers that don't have a discount code and don't shop around, how about just price it competitively and be done with it.

It's probably a marketing trick like a lot of places do. They mark up the price then give 50% off to get you in. RMV's regular pricing is already pretty competitive, so maybe they're hoping that some people forget to use the coupon code or something. Not saying that's a bad thing.

It's like the companies that do those mail in rebates that hope you don't actually mail them in. I was shocked when I heard some huge percentage of people that forget to/too lazy to do them.

I'd still recommend buying batteries from a trusted vendor rather than ebay. That way you can be sure that you're getting authentic, quality batteries.

3FVape has Pico's listed for $26.59 preorder, might be awhile before we see them available with no tank.

moving on, the PICO works like my other eleaf gear - simple & effective
I’ve come to find maybe it is too small, as I am ALWAYS looking for the fire button...

Ehhh I wouldn't mind. The smaller the better IMO. One thing about the iStick 40w and the button that sticks out. It makes the button easy to find, but it also makes it easy to misfire in your pocket.

Form factor is a big deal to me. With some of my more stylish jeans, the pockets aren't very deep. I should have considered that before buying them. So I've gotta stick to a box mod, or you'll be stuck with a tall tube mod that'll probably stick out of your pocket if your pockets are too shallow.

I hope Pbusardo gets one to review soon. I'd like to see the extent of the pulse width modulation on this one, and the smoothness of the signal.

I know, I wrote in the other thread that I was trying to buy them from Ilumn, but they were sold out of the G2's. That was the site I was consistently hearing to buy from. With ebay though, if they're crappy or counterfeit paypal will probably give you back your money. Some of these companies on ebay have thousands in good feedback though. As long as they perform, I probably won't even care if they're counterfeit or not.

I remember getting mini protanks from two separate sellers, and they were slightly different. Both worked pretty well though. Then I got 3 full size protanks and one was laughably fake. It didn't work at all either.

Their page still says $37 for the mod only. Is there a verified coupon code?

Well there you have it, exceptional deal. If the mod only is in stock at RMV their the only place that has them that I've found...actually you've found.

Not sure if it works? But try....

Their home page has a giant post with code for 25% site-wide discount.

A lot of vendors abide by the manufacturers requests and don't post items up to undercut the market. So in a search on the internet you won't find an item 25% off of what the manufacturer wants it to list at. Instead they list it competitively and then offer a discount code to make it even cheaper. Eliminates massive undercutting and ruining the value of merchandise.
