Was my apology not sufficient? JC....
Yes it was. I even liked your post last night. I'm guessing the people who replied afterwards didn't realize they may have skipped over your apology.


Me & 762 are good peeps.....no need to comment on it.

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:

Sometimes I like shiny; sometimes I like "refined". My only major hangup on the "shiny" was that scratches show more easily.

NICE photo!! I love the lineup, and that white Pico looks awesome with that tank and tip. :)

Thanks :) From a "review" perspective, the 50 and the eVic are by far the heaviest.

I REALLY am digging the Pico (yeah, I love the eGo ONE tank on there - I have all four sizes, and this one seems most perfect.) I have a black Stumpy that I'm itchin to throw on this lil gal. I just like the look of Black & White - it's so ....mmmm.... elegant.

    USPS website says my Pico is in town and I ought to find it in my mailbox when I get home from work tonight!

    - The mellow3 can use Atlantis type coils? I had ordered a pack of ceramic Ni C-CELLS at the same time to try and have a few Anyvape RBA's that I can fit if the mellow3 works well enough to find a place in my rotation.

    - I also purchased a Trition2-Mini to go with this mod. While I'm a bit bummed that it uses Nautilus type coils and my 3rd party 'Nautilus RBA' heads won't work with the Trition2 rebuilding Nautilus coils is not that hard/difficult so the jury is still out on what tank will find a resting place on top if my new Pico.

    Congrats, bet you can't wait to get home! Yes, the Atlantis type coils will fit. I either had bad luck or simply didn't like the Ni200 cCells, but today I have the other cCells showing up in the mail.

    I notice C Vapor always has competitive pricing, but they are based out of China. I would assume that they're shipping would take longer, and something about buying directly from a company based in China, rather than a company based in the US (yet still getting it from China), turns me off a bit.

    I remember having issues with fake protanks back in the day. I figure your chances of getting lower quality or even counterfeit products are higher when going with a China based company. I could be completely wrong, but that's how I feel. Plus the people at RMV have treated me great, so I'm a loyal customer.

    Most bigger Chinese online vendors are trustworthy. At Fasttech for example you're less likely than to get counterfeits advertised as genuine than in most b&m shops. I have no experience with Cvapor though.

    This made me recall the time I was in a B&M that was trying to sell to an unsuspecting customer a clone Kayfun Mini 2.1 for $130. I'm not one to stand by & watch someone get robbed so I told the customer it wasn't authentic before any money changed hands!

    I'm kinda regretting not getting the VTC Mini for around the same price. Would have had to learn a new interface, and I think the texture looks kinda toyish, but that screen looked pretty sharp. Also, pbusardo's review of the VTC Mini showed a pretty smooth signal.

    I actually got bored today and read all the pages since page 1 until I was caught up again. Funny how Lynn was in denial of getting one until she got a review, then she caved :D.

    Someone mentioned that they thought the Pico and the VTC Mini had the same chipset. Can anyone confirm that? So similar power signals for both devices? I like my Pico, but I kinda like em slightly taller and skinnier like the istick 30w.

    I just took a batt down to 3.45V, vaping at 55W. I didn't have the aforementioned "weak battery, double-fire required" issue, with well below 50% power remaining. So, that's definitely not an intended feature on this device, at least not until the batt is further depleted, past the point where most of us would remove and put it on the charger anyway.

    I can't find much difference in the function of the two. The finish is nice on the VTC, and the branding is subdued, which looks classy to me. The battery is easier to change.
    But the pico is more pocketable for me and the rounded sides make it a tad nicer to hold. Both are awesome so you should definitely get a VTC as well. [emoji2]

    I have a feeling there is a serious price war going on right now for market dominance. May be the best margins in the business are replacement coil heads so introduce a new mod with an atomizer. The hard core buy everything crowd will buy it anyway. May be the beginners will adopt the tank and buy some coils. Later it will be available stand alone. The form factor is appealing. Having said all that my vtc mini is serving me very well.

    There must be a few of these floating around. May be one of the youtube reviewers will give us a look soon.
    Well they can do it without me I got mods im still using,I dont vape higher than 40w < tootie puffer lol.

    Me too actually. I've been able to hold the line at 30 watts so far. 400 degrees and 30 watts through a 1.26 ohm coil will vaporize 7 mil of liquid. That's one full day on one LG HG2 battery for me, typically 1,000 seconds of firing time. But I only have one mod I like to use. I'm hoping the Pico will make it 2.

    They did... it's the i30. :p

    I was surprised to hear, just a couple of weeks ago, that they put out a 20w version of the tiny Mini. Completely missed that.

    Yeah, surprised you didn't know that. The 30w fixed everything that was wrong with the 20w. Stainless steel threading, spring loaded 510, and fixed the weird voltage/wattage reading - all in the same form factor with a slight lip on it. That's why the 20w is discontinued, and they're still producing and selling the 30w.

    I bought the bending adapter too, which was a complete waste of money. It's still in the bag, I never used it.
