Yeah I guess it would be fine as I mostly do TC. I would hate to have to return them for a swap, and end up with the same issue. I left that question on Phils YouTube review page, doubt I get a response. Let me know what you see when you get yours. Thanks!
Just got my Target Mini this morning. The resistance reads about .02Ω low (.39Ω reads .37Ω) and hasn't moved at all. This is a great micro mod! Vapes great (smooth like my DNAxxx's) and really comfortable to hold even in my big mitts :D. The only thing I can fault is the USB port on the bottom. I might have to order another one.

My order of 2 Pico's from FT changed to "Ready to ship" this morning. It wasn't supposed to ship until the 12th so that's a pleasant surprise from FT for a change.

Thanks for the followup on the ohms, .02 would be acceptable for me -.06 and -.10 is not to me. I wrote VapeNW, the vendor.

I have always sought out tiny mods, have both the tiny iStick 10 and 20 watts. Too limited, no TC, high ohm coils only, etc. they sit in the drawer.

So far the Target Mini's 1400mah internal bats are lasting me, as I'm not a chain vaper. I've got my eye on a new SMY mod called the "Mr. Q", what makes it different then any other tiny one I've ever seen, is a replaceable battery, don't know why it's taken so long to figure that out. DOWNSIDE: it's only a 18350 battery, won't last as long as the Target Mini, but you can replace it. Not available yet, I'll probably try one in a month.

Thanks again for remembering to post your ohm tests!

stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
I got Pico today. Too many good reviews not to.
So far, I like it. Not thrilled about the 2 ml capacity of the tank, but I can live with that.
Bought the brushed stainless steel version.
I am a bit in love with my Pico,, to the point I want to buy another one just to let it get scratched up as a daily work horse. currently I am using my old kangertech in my 'don't care about scratches' routines. as for the tank,,,,put any tank you like on it,, mine runs great and even looks decent with a Griffin clone.

I do think the Pico chip is better than the kanger,, because it seems to last me longer on battery life......or my mind is playing tricks on me...which is quite possible :)

Get the Brushed Silver one, it's not painted! Good for pocket or bag. It was one of the new finishes offered after the first release.

I just ordered a brushed silver Pico, during a July 4th sale, and I'm looking forward to having something new. I've been using a mech with a Evolv Kick 2 and IBTanked carto tanks for two years now. It works great and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon, but I just wanted a new toy. My wife has been using a Evic VTC for a while and it's been working good as well. I'm assuming the Pico is quite similar.

I wound up taking the Melo III tank off and replacing it with an Ijust 2.
(sans the air control silicon ring. I run all my tanks wide open)
I was mistaken. I can't live with the 2 ml capacity anymore. 2 - 2 1/2 ml was fine when I first started out with the MPV2, Spinner 2, and Vapin Plus, and MTL, (which I did not like, kept trying to DL instinctivly) But having moved up to sub ohm DL vaping, 2 ml just don't last long enough.

It really depends on the build, but yeah... it's possible to blow through 2ml in a blink.
0.6 and higher simple build... not bad. Some SMOK Octo-coil... not so much. :D

I'm trying to move up to slightly more efficient resistances (it's a process) so I actually just received two more 2ml RTAs today. I like 'em a lot... if they've got top-fill. :p

Yeah, I'm a MTL type, and still prefer a larger tank. I do use my small tanks for trying out different juices, or juices I just want to use occasionally. Otherwise I prefer a larger volume.

I have one of the original silver painted Pico's and am waiting on a wrap to arrive for it. It still looks quite nice, but it should look even nicer with the wrap. I did go ahead and order a second Pico in the brushed silver which won't get wrapped.

Can I ask where you got the wrap? I got one a few weeks ago for my black Pico for $3.95, but for the life of me I can't remember where. Would like to get a wrap for a white one I received this week, but all the ones I'm finding are like $9 or more.

I used J-Wraps. They have many choices, and make wraps for many mods. Textured Wraps

Edit: just noticed in your post, they are a bit more money, but the quality is good. Not sure where to get wraps for $3.95, but if you find it, please share it. An affordable option is always good to have.

Well, you made me get off my .... and go find it.

iStick Pico Silicone Case (8 Colors)

Very soft and does the job. I went ahead and ordered one for my white Pico.

Yeah, bottom fill can be a pain in the bottom.
 
PICOs are really that awesome-
I just love mine fits palm of my hand- replaced my RX200 - that I used to carry often... Still use it but just prefer the form factor of the PICO and it's much lighter!
