Eleaf iStick "pico"

Hint: It's that fruit that's not a fruit.

Your vaping tomato juice?

Because of the 510 heatsink I can now use larger diameter tanks, unfortunatly I do not have any larger then 22mm.

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 Shame about the outdated chip (no SS TC), but for around ten bucks, I can't really say much else against it.

Hmmmm....

I bought two, so far not impressed with taming the well reported SPIT BACK! So far only tried the included Notch Coil, not the dual coil. Mine did not come with the RBA, will have to buy that separately and test. If you own a Cubis or Melo 3 tank, I doubt you'll be impressed, I'm not.

If you have any TC issues, remove any adapters. Adding more connections and resistance, is not recommended if your a TC user.

Actually its working good.
ss mode 50w 390f
.63 ohm coil (ss316, 26ga, 4mm Id, 7 spaced wraps)

Good flavour warm vape and it did not burn the cotton when i vaped the tank dry.

cons: most of the time I have to screw the rta in and out several times before it asks new coil up same coil down.
Akward holding position.
Too much clicking to get in the sub menues, and I fear the fire button might fail prematuraly.

pros: too many to write/ read the rest of the thread.


All in all greate bang for the buck, I actualy paid more for the hana mod clone two years ago

That... might actually be a good vape...

No, really lol.

Well, actually it's this one:

The Geekvape BabyCado, also known as the Old Non-24mm Avocado. Really great flavour and chucks clouds like nobody's business. It's a lunghit tank for sure though, and refilling can get messy... but building and wicking is trival (at least compared to the Gob lol) and doesn't really leak... unless you put in on its side for too long (or turn it upside down lol).

Pictured with is the 60W + Fodi backup combo I got on clearance (Fodi was deeply discounted too)... The Fodi actually works really good as a "just a dripper" for flavor testing purposes (hence the empty tank lol)... and it was the *primary* reason why I went hunting straight away for a 'Cado.

I was actually wondering about the Lyche too... but now with the Piccado (*snicker*) looking so good together (and being so easy to manage) I think I'll just stick with the 'Cado for a while.

Oh and the GobMini "rifled" DT works wonderfully with the 'Cado. Heck, it's quickly becoming my fave DT for everything.

cons: most of the time I have to screw the rta in and out several times before it asks new coil up same coil down.

You can actually do the "coil resistance lock" thing that the "new coil?" prompt does, manually (fire + plus button), if you're not aware already.

The "new coil?" prompt is actually not designed to appear unless the resistance of the coil(s) changes *dramatically* when replacing a RDA/RTA/Tank (as stated in the manual).

Personally, I prefer it this way, rather than being asked "new coil?" every time I screw in tanks that need to be removed for filling (like my GobMini). Granted, it might not be as much a hassle of you don't have tanks you need to repeatedly remove.

I'm going to pull the trigger and purchase the full black Pico this Friday from fasttech to get me back in the game after taking a couple years off from vaping. Going to by the kit to get me started and wanted feedback on the Melo III mini tank?

I'm looking for a cool great flavor from my juice and wanted to know if this tank will come close or not? I want something easy and will just be doing pre-built coils to keep it simple. Any other tanks I should be looking at?

Also what replacement coils should I order from fasttech and what battery?

Thanks for the help!

Will you be looking to sub ohm or are you more of a mouth to lung type. There are lots of coil options for the Melo III tank that comes with the Pico as it also can use Triton or Atlantis coils. The .5 ohm coil that comes with the tank is pretty decent for sub ohm and the Triton 1.8 ohm coils are good for mouth to lung.

As far as the battery is concerned the LG HG2 or the Samsung 30Q are decent for the pico.

 

[GoBigGuy]

To be honest it's been so long since I vaped not sure if I'm a mouth to lung type or not. I feel off the wagon about 9 months ago with the cigs so going back to vaping to get back on the wagon.

What do you think I should start off with with the coils?

You can look at some Melo 3 "opinions" here:

Eleaf Melo 3 Tank flavorful or not?

 

[GarfieldDC]

Opened up the Pico box today to test it out. Using it with the Ego One Mega tank. It has been performing well in TCR.

The EC heads from Eleaf are the "official" heads, I had an Eleaf employee in an email scold me for saying the other heads would fit LOL. If you are into rebuilding the heads they have the ECR option. I just ordered one on the slow boat from China, so I should have some feedback on the building of new coils in a few weeks I guess.

Just in case you didn't see it, or understand it on the Fasttech site, they wont be in until the 31st of this month, maybe longer! I did talk to VapeNW the other day and they expect them (The full black and polished SS) in stock in two weeks. Just something to think about as they sell the full kit and it's not much more than Fasttech and will get home sooner.
If you've been out that long, I'd say you are a MTL vapor, if you like rebuildables look at the Goblin mini, the Pico and the RBA deck for the Milo (my next plan) In non-rebuildable the Nautilus is tops in my book! But the Kanger Toptank is pretty good, once you get the tricks figured out.

congratulations on solving a problem you dont have!! Lol! Seriously, the heatsink will not help TC accuracy but looks great!!

 

[The.Drifter]

Picked up a couple Pico's, got one built for now Running a Goblin Mini on this one

Really liking the small form factor, nice little pocket setup

 

[GoBigGuy]

I think I am going to start off with the Melo III Mini that comes with the kit and try the .03, .05, and pick up a 1.8 coil to see which I like better.

Which coil do you think I'll enjoy?

I can't honestly answer that question as I do not have a Melo yet. Sorry.

For total ease of rebuilding than I'll have to stick with my initial recommendation: The Bachelor Nano. Why? Because it's post-less and the only thing you have to be careful of is getting the coil-legs right.

However, with the BachNano, single coil is all you'll get. I don't see any options at all for dual-coil building.

As for the Serpent Mini, I *think* you can sneak a dual-coil build in there... but it would be rather cramped.

There's also the Pico (Tank) to consider if you want a single coiler. It's a modified/modernised Taifun after all so I can say with certainty that it would be quite easy to work with. After all, the Taifun was the tank that was easy enough it got me off cartotanks.

That said however, from videos I've seen of the BachNano, it *still* seems to be the easiest to build on so far.

Could be. I like the serpent mini. Easy after a few times, provides great flavor. Single twisted SS coil may get you there. That's my thoughts 2/28ga 316stainless.

Apologies if this question was answered previously. I notice on FT that a Pico colored "stainless" is coming soon. Does anyone know if that mean a stainless body? It would weight a ton but look pretty cool with accumulating stress marks.

I don't think it would weigh a ton. Probaly they won't make it that thick. Yes I did hear of a silver, but not sure on stainless. I'd get it if you want a stainless. I have 2 all stainless devices(ZXK zero mini). Now there heavy!But I like them alot.
