I've dropped mine on gravel and concrete so far, never mind the drops on the floor in the house, just a few light scratches on it. I'm hard on mods and I'm impressed.
This guy was instrumental in me deciding to dis- and re-assemble my own Pico lol. He made it look easy (and TBH, it is lol).
His electrical readings are fun to watch though, as he checks nearly every parameter there is to check.
Oh and the body (the painted part) is solid cast aluminium (one-piece), while the other metal parts (the top/bottom cap and the battery cover) is supposedly made out of some zinc alloy.
It seems...IF the click issue is mechanical...and IF the Pico is easily disassembled...then somebody will certainly find a FIX...

The fix, will be a replacement, or a new one. Thankfully I have not had that issue yet. These TOYS, are $28.00 folks, what do you expect? Granted, on my $200 VS DNA200, I'd be a bit more concerned!
Received my Pico today.. Customs finally decided to let it go. But the tanks I ordered to go with the Pico still haven't arrived. One is with customs and the other is still in transit.
This thing is really tiny and light. You don't realize how small it is until you hold it in your hand. I can't use any of my existing tanks with it.

That sucks. It was a way to use a full size 18650... we have to live with the battery cap.
I know the Nugget and Volt are even smaller, but I've become a fan of JTech's current take on TC and their feature set. I can live with the extra volume.

All the tanks I have are tall ones - Crius, Mutank, Zephyrus.. Too tall for the Pico. The tanks are taller than the mod. [emoji2]
Although I think I could use the Ego One Mega tank with it. I've ordered a Bachelor Nano and a Serpent Mini to use with the Pico. Hopefully the Bachelor should be released by customs and delivered by the end of the week (why would they want to hold on to a tank?).
Ha... I just figured all your tanks were of the newly popular wide-body style.
Yeah, I've had my Bachelor on my Pico... looks vaguely silly.
You should enjoy both of the tiny tanks, mine are doing great.
But that Lil' Serpent... it's stupid small, ludicrously tiny.
Bangin' little RTA though.

I was just lurking this thread and happened to catch this convo.
The full size Bachelor was my first RTA and I can confirm that it's super easy to build on. The only building experience I had before trying this one was with the Kanger Subtank/Toptank RBA but this one is much roomier to build on for a starter ime, not too mention way (way!) more flavorful.
And frankly I don't see why anyone would want more than one coil after using the Bachelor, it just performs that well in my limited experience.
That being said, I can not recommend the full size Bachelor. Too many people are retiring it because of leaking problems, as did I. The smaller Bachelor Nano however does not seem to have this problem and is my fav RTA. I just ordered a second one of even.
I still have to try if using the deck of the Nano with the upper portion of the full size version will deal with the leaking problem of the larger one but I suspect it will even though I can't explain why (the differences between both decks are very minimal).
It could be that there are just some bad batches of the full size version out there perhaps, as some folks do seem very happy with theirs and do not have the leaking problem.
I've read a lot of great feedback on the Serpent mini in the other thread. I'm really looking forward to trying it.
I ordered the Bachelor Nano based on the all the positive feedback the regular sized Bachelor has been getting. Also the fact that it is a single coil tank. Unfortunately not a lot of choice available for us folks who like single coils.

OTA has the bad JuJu... don't listen to anything he says.
Mine are fine... and I'm not winning any awards for wicking.
Nor do I need to impress myself by doubling up so I can jump from 35-50w to 100.
Single coil is fine for me.

I feel the Pico is going to take some getting used to. Its so tiny. So far my daily device has been the VTC Mini, which is much taller and slimmer.
It seems like a good mod. I don't have very large hands, so it seems to be a comfortable fit in the hand. Trigger fire with index finger.

It is different to fire when we've gotten used to our normal dimensioned boxes.
Looks like your group is getting good product. I'm getting partial to Eleaf's (JTech) recent mods.
Have to get a second VTC (VTwo Mini) if I can decide among the new colors.

Someone did early on... the AFC ring barely fits, if it'll rotate at all.
Bet it looks funky too.
eta: Mine was sitting here so... just for you...
As reported... the knurled AFC ring grinds on the battery cap just getting it on.
Lightly scraped trying to turn it as well. It's do-able but, for me... no go.

Mine with a 9ml Kanger clone tank, LOL!
I just got a new topper for the Pico... and it's turning me into a... *gasp*... (semi-)lung-hitter. Plus, it looks even more perfect on the Pico than the GobMini ever did. Running SS TC on it and the Pico's chugging fine with zero issues.
Hint: It's that fruit that's not a fruit.
Will post pics and impression later, but dang, it's one awesome topper.
Also, got one of the Pico's elder brothers on clearance (local B&M) for backup. Shame about the outdated chip (no SS TC), but for around ten bucks, I can't really say much else against it.
