Do let us know what you decide on. I'm looking for a shorty rta also. No luck on my part, other the the UD Goblin Mini V2. But I'm suspicious cos I only see them on a few sites in the USA. All China sites say "out of stock" or they just don't carry it. China carries everything. I emailed UD, asked if they stopped production but they said feel free to order. Idk.

I was just coming here to ask if anyone is using any small rta's like the Goblin Mini or Moonshot. I have the Moonshot & was thinking about a Pico for a stealthy little pocket rig. My current pocket rig is the SMY 60W TC Mini but the Pico is even smaller, hmmm...

just an update, if there was any doubt that the cCell coils would work....I am using one in the melo III now, works great.

Good to hear. What kind do you have in there? I have the TC version showing up today.

Like you, I don't find the tank has any less favor than my Atlantis or Triton II when using the same coils. I did wonder if I'd get more flavor considering a shorter chimney, but that's not the case.

With the Moonshot's 32mm height it would be perfect for the Pico :thumb: go for it!
How do you like the moonshot? I thought it would be challenging to build on, do you have to hold the base & build or can it be mounted on a base so that it is stabilized & it's priced higher than other RTA's. Do you think it's worth the $? Surely will pair great with the Pico! Go for it!

It is a little harder to build than anything else but not that hard. You can use the supplied extra Allen key in the air hole slot to lock the RTA section into the base so you can build & then heat your coils. I have a dual coil SS 316l build at 10 wraps, 3mm inner diameter. Wicking is super simple with cotton bacon.
The flavor is excellent, plenty of air & while there is no juice control I carried it in my pocket yesterday with no leaks at all. I only paid $35 plus shipping & feel it's worth the money at that price.

I got my refund this morning, I think it's pretty quick like overnight if it's a refund on a cancelled item through PayPal.
I got the email that it had been refunded, but there's nothing showing on my debit card yet. :( Guess I should have used my card through PayPal.

Aw, didn't mean to make you "jelly" ;)

Was just so amazed at how quickly it is arriving! :D I'm only getting the Mod though, no tank :?:
I would/will probably just go with the mod as well. I am happy with my GS Tanks right now.
That pink is calling my name, LOL!
Hope you love yours!

I ordered the pink Pico from RMV last night. I used a gift card, but I couldn't figure out how to register it online. I'm hoping the order still goes through. It said pending the last time I checked.
Hope it worked, Jingles.
Another pink Pico, out the door! :wub: I bet you will love it.

Hey guys!

So excited to see so many people with Picos already in hand. Totally want one, however...

Can anybody confirm the paint finish on the white? Is it matte, gloss, iridescent, metallic, flat, etc? I can't really tell from the pics that are posted.

I've seen the black and pink irl, but the white is kinda calling to me. Really hoping it's a pearl or metallic white though.

Thanks so much!

I'd say the Melo III mini works as good as my other tanks
I've only used the ECR heads (1.6Ω)
but the Melo III produces same good flavor as the STmini, STplus, ego ones, Melo 2

heck due to the small/concentrated factor, maybe better...

pretty darn good tank IMO and my math sez it cost me about $6 buck ;)

:evil:

Yes, the tank is inexpensive, I like the design. Yes, flavor is "subjective", but not as much if you do a proper comparison. All mine were done with TC coils, as that's why I buy TC mods in the first place. Perhaps the NON-TC coils give better flavor in power/watt mode, but that's not what I based my opinions on.

It's more matte than gloss, but if I wanted to get nit picky, I'd call it satin. I also would call it flat rather than iridescent, yet it doesn't seem as flat as my white Surefire Castle. It's definitely not metallic. It reminds me of white formica if that makes sense where the Castle reminds me of white ceramic.
