I shoulda paid the extra 30 cents and got the case with em. The seller I got mine from has sold many of them without any complaints, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I should be able to get at least 2 days on a single charge. I'll see if I get that.
I do. I only have breaks and lunch to vape in at work so most of my vaping is done at home. I generally change out my battery every 2 days.

Is the Melo tank included a mouth to lung or a lung hitter tank? Sorry, I'm sure this question has been answered a million times but I'm slowly combing through the thread. Is there a stand alone device anywhere as well? Really like the mod... so cute and small. Not that I need another mod because I think it's cute.
It is a direct lung tank, but slightly more restricted then many rta's....kind of like a slightly more open sub tank.

So I said my HG2 battery came about 1/3 charged according to my pico. It's been over 3 hours and it's still charging! I'm using a 1 amp charger. If it takes over 3 hours to charge 2/3 of the battery, I probably have to charge it overnight if it were dead. Sheesh.

The battery was getting warm for an hour or two, it's cool to the touch now.

I haven't even taken my first puff yet.

^TruSound. I'm very jealous right now. Got the black pico as well, but going to use my KFL+v2. I probably should buy another KFL before they're gone forever. Been discontinued for a while now. I can prob get a non EH Pro one on FT or something though.

Edit: I took the battery out, put it back in, then rehooked it. Charging finally turned off after nearly 4 hours! Time to enjoy.

With the supplied coil heads it is a lung hitter, but a 1.8 Ohm Triton coil (not Mini Triton) would certainly turn it into a MTL tank. I have noticed that the airflow control won't completely shut the air off, but the 1.8 Triton's are fairly restricted on their own, so as long as you like a loose-ish draw it should be a very decent vape considering how short the tank is.

First second impression: The signal is either smoother, or it feels underpowered even compared to the 40w. Had to turn it up .5w higher than I just had it on my 40w just to get as much vapor.

You know, I thought I was really going to hate having that battery cap in the way, but I think it serves a purpose. I didn't like how the button on the 40w wasn't on the same side as the fire button. The Pico reverses it back to where it should have stayed with the 30w. With the 40w, I ended up covering one of the air holes of my KFL by accident quite often. With the cap in the way, that isn't going to happen anymore.

The 30w is lighter, and it has the tank on the right side of the battery, so I think I might just retire the 40w and go with the pico and the 30w as my daily 2 batteries.

The 40w was pretty and the build quality was nice, but it the battery life was a huge disappointment to me.
In computer terms:

iStick 20w = Windows XP (more like Windows 95 actually)
iStick 30w = Windows 7
iStick 40w = Windows 8 (Cool concept, but poorly thought out)

iStick Pico = ?, we'll see.

iStick 50w probably is like Windows Millennium, but I never had one.

LOL sorry I have to correct this.

iStick 20w = Windows 95
iStick 30w = Windows XP
iStick 50w = Windows Vista
iStick 40w = Windows 8

Hopefully iStick Pico = Windows 7.

That's the one downside of the HG2s. Take forever to charge. It's normal.

Mine came today, hot pink...dear dog, I want one in every color! Using the stock coil it came with, will probably end up using a cCell down the road. If it wasn't so bright, it'd make a killer stealth mod. LOVE IT!
Pics!!!!! Or it di'n happen!!! :banana:

I don't own any HG's, curious why would they take any longer to charge?

Last longer, charge longer. How's that for a technical answer? ;)

They're the only 3000 mAh bats I have, so I can't compare charge time to Sammy 30Q or others.

The target cCell coils work just fine in it.....it's what I am currently using.

Thank you! I ordered some ccells for Triton tanks from 101vape. They're on sale there for $9.99 for a 5 pack. Does anyone know how to clean them?

Everyone seems to have their own method, but I pull mibe out BEFORE they really need it, and soak them in hot water, which works better when they arent really gunked up yet

I mean I've had supposed 2500-3000 mah devices before, and they never took that long. The HG2 came around 1/3 charged already too. 4 hours to charge 2/3 of the battery? Seems a bit much.

I've always had this concern about charging my vape and going to sleep, or leaving it to charge while I take a shower or something. You hear about all these explosions and stuff, but the media always has it's own agenda, so they never specify the device that was used.

I was reading a second ago about the guy who had his e-cig go off in his pocket at a gas station. His leg caught on fire and there were nasty photos of his in the hospital. I guess I can understand a high wattage mech mod without a safety doing that kind of damage.

I found the guys FB, and people are writing on his wall asking about the type of battery he was using, and he hasn't answered them. He's definitely hiding something. Either from embarrassment of user error, or he's protecting a company that paid him off or something.

I'm going to look into later today. But I did just find a post. When someone asked what type of battery, he mentioned the "It was an efest 18650. I'm really not trying to get any local business in trouble. But I definitely think something needs to be done about keeping these things safe and educating people on how dangerous they currently are."

The Pico most likely has a .5 amp charger, even if you're wall adapter is rated higher (which is a good thing) the mod won't charge higher than that. Charging a fully depleted hg2 will take something around 7 hours, possibly more.
