Not at all. My pinky sits there and I can't tell they're there. Love the clean look by putting them on the bottom and adjusting when needed is no issue at all.
Yeah, the 3 main cosmetic differences are the side charging port, the bottom buttons, and the shorter but fatter form factor.
I actually don't like the side charge port because I use passthrough a lot and I think it would get in the way, but I haven't really tried it yet. The 40w battery life was so bad that I'd have it on a charger constantly.
The bottom buttons are different but I don't think I mind too much. Most of us set a certain wattage/temp, then lock it right? It may be slightly harder for me to change settings while I'm driving, but I don't do that very often anyways. I'd just wait until a traffic light.
So are the bottom buttons a showstopper? Absolutely not. What I do notice is that instead of pushing the fire button with my thumb now, I use the ridge in between my finger. Just different that's all. Normally I'm change averse, but these are really only small details.
I just ordered an EHPro Kayfun 4 clone to try out. I was scared originally because of all the pieces, but I don't have to take apart the whole thing every time. Accessing the build deck without having to drain it will be more convenient.
I've been looking for a tiny bit more air flow. I tried a subtank and a melo, but the flavor just isn't there. This Kayfun 4 supposedly has a little more airflow without sacrificing the flavor.
That's gonna be my last vape purchase for a bit.
Edit: I canceled my Kayfun 4 order. I like EHPro a lot because they did my KFL+v2 so well, but the Kayfun 4 isn't reviewed very well.
Also, Rocky Mountain Vapor had it for $1 cheaper than the ebay seller, and I wanted to keep the business with them if I ordered one.
The Tobeco version is a couple of dollars cheaper, but I saw someone on this forum post a picture of theirs that had rust building on it. Rust? I dunno if I want to chance that.
Apparently the flavor is about the same, but it's more convenient because you can pull the deck out without disassembling the whole thing. Also, you can adjust the air flow to be more open, but it's hidden under the 510 pin.

My Pink Pico arrived today! It sure is cute! I had a hard time changing it from Temp. control mode to wattage, but I finally got it.
Got my grey Pico in from Rocky Mountain today. The menu system is fantastic. It's great that we're able to go forward and backward through the menu. Makes it super fast. The 4-click access for the wattage adjustment makes changing watts in temp mode a cinch. The screen is small but crazy bright. I'm just putting it through it's paces now, but so far I'm loving it. It's hard to believe that it's possible to make such a small 18650 mod.
YES.....never never never never put a lithium battery where it can come into contact with loose metal bits and risk dead shorting....EVAR!
many chargers (don't know about this one, but assume so based on peoples experience) slow down to a trickle charge at the tail end of the charge cycle...around 4.1 volts or so
took a little getting used to for me, BUT, they work well, and are placed in a way that the buttons aren't accidentally pressed, yet not so recessed as to be hard to use....over all a good basic design.
I reordered the Kayfun 4 from Rocky Mountain Vapor. Saved $1 compared to the ebay guy, and I kept the business with my favorite vendor. I have a tendency to overthink and research stuff for days. Just buy the thing already.
I've been pretty satisfied with my Pico today. I wish my juice was a little more steeped, but that's not the pico's fault.

my two chargers with digital displays shows a SLOW Ramp-Up (250mA-350mA) ,
then full power charge, then VARIOUS mA (ramp down) at the end of charge (all over the map)
words to ponder:
during those times in life when a person might have some IDLE TIME
•when I was younger to kill time, I pounded beers, smoked cigarettes and watched the grass grow...
•mid life I sipped whiskey/drank beer, smoked cigarettes and watched the paint dry...
•now as a mature adult I drink sweet tea, vape electronically, and watch batteries charge...
then full power charge, then VARIOUS mA (ramp down) at the end of charge (all over the map)

Lets say im using a AW or Sony battery. I dont need an external charger anymore? The built in USB cable charges the battery for me the same as an external one? I have an efest charger.
yes, the mod will charge the battery internally for you.....It will take further testing and use to know how well the internal charger works.
So how are your thoughts on the shade/finish of the white?Here's my pic or it di'n happen pic!
!!! G*NOTE FIVE !!!
