The VTC Mini looks like a solid device....The istick 50w istick was a colossal failure.
My current all day everyday mod is a vtc mini which I use in TC mode with a silicone sleeve and rda. I like it. It's fine. I also have an iStick 50 which also works will for me and with a silicone sleeve it's the easiest handling mod I've owned.. The iStick 50 doesn't do TC and I prefer replacable batteries for new mos but otherwise I like it.

More Pico pics please.

More Pico pics please.

Here you go - with an Aspire Cleito. Forgive the poor lighting and workspace.

Have never had a Triton or Atlantis tank...

If I get the KIT (with the Melo 3 Mini)...as a confirmed MTL Tootle Puffer...which coil would be more preferable to try first???

Also...can one MTL the 0.9Ω Vaporesso Ccell in the M3M???




Seems like "weak-battery msg with reading <50% => 2X Fire Button pushes"...could be a hassle (to me).

Is that the way it's supposed to work???

..

I think the 0.9 ohm ccell is one of the highest resistance ones that'll work, but I'm not that familiar with Atlantis or Triton coils either, and will be one of the best choices available for tootle puffin. You can MTL with it in the M3M, at pretty low power, (20W-35W).

I don't know if the "weak battery" double-press to fire thing is a "feature" or a bug. It could be the former, if Eleaf wanted to discourage anyone from trying to use the mod on high power settings with a significantly depleted battery. Regardless, a firmware update could potentially change that. I've only gone up to 35W so far with mine, since I put a ccell in first, and I was able to take my batt, (VTC5), down to ~3.5V without this "feature" popping up. I'd take it lower, but I'd rather extend my battery's life, and I always carry a charged spare. ;)

I would definitely stop trying to speculate on that and just ask for a replacement. Weak battery when 50% is left sounds like a defect, and you're the only one reporting it.

USPS was suppose to deliver .9 cCells yesterday and they're still in limbo but I'll be using the for DL. Maybe I'll throw on another drip tip and try MTL with it. If you try an Aspire coil for that, I'd suggest the 1.8 ohm Triton (not the Triton mini) coil.

I've never had a weak battery message and I've fully drained at least one. Well I did get some kind of message when the battery died, but I'm not sure exactly what it said.

I'm not the one having this issue. Others are.

Oh, isn't it just that one person? I thought it was. Most of these vape companies are small businesses, so they have excellent customer service. The sooner that person requests a replacement the sooner they get a working one, and has one less thing to worry about.

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.



!!! G*NOTE FIVE !!!
Good to know! Thanks for posting this. I'm sure I would have slapped it on USB at some point, probably soon. I get lazy like that, too. :D Good thing I just got 2 more HG2s! :)

Wow! Granted I already said I was being lazy.... I'm OK with being lazy but maybe this time I should've said tired. I take care of my mother & there aren't enough hours in a day so having a spare battery at the ready wasn't on the top of my priority list. :sneaky:


20W. This is the 1st time I ever put it on a charger.

You DID say you were being lazy, and still there was no need for that reply you got. Who cares if you are being lazy??? I have a 4-bay charger and 2 USB cords at the ready. I like options. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for doing what you do. That was mean and you shouldn't have to defend your choices. Sheesh.

Pico, 30, evic Mini, 50

This photo reminds me how glad I am to see Eleaf getting away from chrome plated caps on their mods. That look was so trashy to me that I avoided iSticks until recently.

Yes, I am that shallow. :blush:
