Eleaf iStick "pico"

[Mactavish]

Is the Goblin Nano bottom or top fill?

The latest version is the Goblin Mini 2, $25 for original. I got a black and silver as I was waiting on the "Nugget" mod to put them on. They were impossible to find, and then the Pico was released. Just glad I didn't have to pursue that one, seems it has "issues", while the Pico does everything the Evic VTC Mini does.

Back to the GB MINI 2, it's top fill now, check them out, nice and tiny for the Pico. I put mine aside for now, as wicking was a bit tricky, meaning some leaks, but that's because while I'm a decent coil maker, I have a lot to learn and practice when it comes to wicking these kinds of RTA's and decks. I also bought a clone of the RTA, also called PICO, same tiny size as the GB Mini 2. The clone one comes with an adapter to use prebuilt coils as well as a standard deck to build on. My tank dumped it's juice twice with the prebuilt coils, so I put that one down for awhile as well. These two RTA's come up in searches for SMALL rebuildable tank atomizers, so worth checking out. Seems most are better then I am at wicking and love them both. Check em out!

Does that mean I can't use it after Labor Day?

You can, just get an orange wrap for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Then green for Christmas.

you forgot white

Got my basic black today. Hotcig Train, which is a pretty compact RTA for one holding almost 4ml, sits nicely on the Pico without appearing too top heavy. Color me content enough for day one.

Wow, that looks really nice together!

I love the pictures. More, more. When you get your Pico put a tank or rba on and show us.

Does anybody also have an iStick 50? Of all the mods I've had that was the easiest to handle. The Pico is shorter but does it handle the same?

My Pico will have a silicone sleeve when they are available.I work on a shop floor with a roll around full of tools and everything I touch is make of metal. If my vtc mini weren't cladded in silicone half the paint would be chipped off. If the Pico handles like the 50 it will be a good thing for me.

If you love your 30w and don't need more power, and your battery life is doing okay I don't think you need to upgrade. The Pico feels fine, but it's wider. It feels solidly built though. The signal on it is smoother as well because it doesn't have as much pulse width modulation as the 30w.

Sorry, I don't really have a good answer. I really like my 30w though. If you're sub-ohming, you may benefit from the extra wattage, but if you're not, you're probably in the 15-18 watt area at most and would be fine with the 30w.

Maybe these pictures I just took will help.

TBH, if I could have the Pico features and battery size capacity in the 30w body, I'd probably take it. I do like the matte finish of the pico though. The matte finish probably won't look as crappy as the glossy 30w after it gets banged around a little bit.

Thank you! That was a wonderful answer!

Don't have pix of my Pico yet, but I have the 50 (as well as a 30). The Pico has the same "grip profile" as the 50. It's considerably lighter (one battery v. two in the 50)

No, the Pico handles differently than the 50. The 50 was bigger and hand grip was more intuitive, IMO. It took me a bit to find the right hand fit with the Pico but once I figured out what works best for me it's great. I hold mine with my pinkie finger on the bottom, two fingers on the body and my index finger resting on the top. That way my thumb knows where to find the fire button. I held the 50w a lot differently, but it's all good.

Don't buy the 50w. Too many people have had problems with theirs. There's too many other iSticks to consider one that has a bad rep like that.

I already have the Youde Goblin Mini V1 (bottom) & V2 (top) fill. The V2 is on my Mini Volt which my g/f managed to 'slip' in her purse.

I asked about the Nano someone posted cause I didn't know what 'V' version of the Goblin Mini it was.

!!! G*NOTE FIVE !!!

Get the white because it's a summer color. Can match outfits

You already have black, red, and pink. The greenish gunmetal grey isn't a girl color. The silver is too plain.

Too plain? No way! It's a nice metallic finish that also goes with just about anything.

I will say that the metallic finishes are a little more "slidey" in the hand than the solid colors, (which seem to be an enamel paint). They're not slippery, mind you, but a little "slidey". Anyone who's ever seen one of Phil Busardo's reviews will immediately get what I mean.

I got Picos in both silver and white, and I actually prefer the silver, which I did not expect.

As for the mod's performance as my daily pocket traveler, I could not be happier. These are fantastic little devices.

Ok, I can see now I wont be charging & vaping at the same time. This lil Pico gets HOT!

Someone else posted the same thing & up til now I just replaced the battery when I needed to.

Being lazy & not feeling like going upstairs for a battery, I popped it on the charger then picked it up a few min later & immediately put it back down. The level of heat really surprised me.

Going back to swapping batteries.

Only the lazy and/or unprepared need to even consider using it as a passthrough.

Just out of curiosity, what wattage/s was the Pico set to when it got uncomfortably hot?

 

[DebiK]

Am I going to be a pooper by telling Debik she already has enough mods?

Yeah, but...
1. The K-boxes don't do TC. I need more TC mods.
2. My white K-box needs a little sister
3. My black K-box does as well
4. I don't have any gray mods
5. I don't have any silver mods (except a mech)
6. The Pink can be the Cloupor Mini+'s little sister
7. I sure wish they had red.

That good enough? Sounds good enough to me.

The Silver one in that pic looks way darker than the two posted earlier in the thread. I know @LynnNC posted one of the pics. I'd get silver in a heartbeat if it were that dark.

Edited to add: Thanks so much for putting that pic together! That's awesome

 

[pufZeppelin]

yes, I thought the same of the silver in that pic
very darkish maybe a preferable gray of shade ...
