Eleaf iStick "pico"

[Mactavish]

You can get the AnyVape rba at BeyondVape. Look for the V2, they added juice holes in the sides like on the newer STM rba's. When I was doing my search I was finding less and less of them available. I think I saw them on those discount Chinese sites which I try never to bother with.

I have yet to try mine, but the main reason they are built a little better, but most importantly, like a true RBA, similar to the STM RBA, you capture both wires under screws, like a real RTA. The other ones use wire capture under the rubber grommet. That's obviously not the best way to make an electrical connection, it's just pressure between metal and rubber. Cheaper to make, and whike they can work ok, it's another area where you can have problems with TC. I think I paid $8. Good luck! Here it is:

Guys, help me out here.

About this Pico...

Today I received a new mod, the Koopor Plus 200watt in stainless steel. I'm using dual 18650 batteries (2800mah) each and an Atlantis 2 tank on 0.5ohm coils.

But when I run the Pico and Koopor at 35watts (both) the little Pico produces much more vaper and a stronger output. When I try to up the watts on the Koopor to compensate nothing much happens in the way of vaper as I imagine the 0.5ohm Atlantis 2 coil is pushing its limits and the tank gets warm.

Can someone explain to me why the Pico is performing better at the same wattage?

Could it be true the Pico is simply the better mod?

It might be that the Pico has a more efficient board? It is, after all, a slightly modified version of what's running the RX200 (and VaporFlask Lite).

As for the Koopor, IINM they use SMOK stuff so... yeah.

Is a rebuildable deck available for the tank in the kit? III need to transition a brother of mine from his beloved N minit to something rebuildable, hopefully easy to rebuild. And he'll be getting some picos for the day when his iStick 20 dies.

Here are links for the Triton and eleaf rebuildable heads. Mactavish already posted the link for the Anywape head above:

That's what it feels like, the Pico is more efficient.

I really like the stainless steel and size of the Koopor Plus, its the entire reason I bought it. I didn't expect it to perform better, but, at least as good. When it comes to a point I'm starting to feel strung out from lacking nic but switching to the Pico lifts me up again that says it all really.

Before I count everything out I will tinker with the Koopor Plus, see what I can do.

So far it does appear the Pico simply is the better peformer.

Wait till you try the firing pefromance of a *properly sorted* YiHi chip.

That said, the new Q-class seems to be more a miss than a hit from what the guys up on the owner thread are posting, unfortunately enough.

Hey guys,

Is it correct that the Triton Clapton coils (not the mini coils but the ones that fit the full size Triton 2 tank) will fit the Melo 3 mini/full size tank? I'm not too fond of the eleaf coils and I have good results with the Triton Clapton coils and just want to make sure they fit before buying some. Thanks!

maybe, it is also probably the multiplyer (TCR) (how the 'chip' is configured)
see if you can research what SMOK has it set values at...

then it is all a matter of a joye/eleaf/wismec board vs SMOK board...

yepper, you are correct

they are "X" compatible

also look into the rebuildables (very nice, IMO)

Can I ask what atomizer that is? I absolutely love the look of it! . Also is the top cut glass part included or is it an add on?

Why not just say what it is when you upload an image, unless you just want folks to ask, afterwards?

Thanks, I think it's a pretty sexy combo too That's a Narda RDA and I got both the RDA and the clear cap from here: Narda Clear Bell Cap Kit

See how easy that is! Looks nice. Except it does not look like a Narda in your photo. That Narda comment was not meant for you drifter!

I'm a bit confused if this is a question for me, the person who posted the pic originally, or a general question? Sorry if this is a really stupid question, it's been a long day.
