I just finished two surveys from the link at the top of this page. I found them to be just what the FDA and Congress need in terms of information and to assess the feeling of vapers over the deeming regulations. They asked many of the questions that I want our representatives to see the answers for.

We need all ECF people to complete these surveys. I'd like to see 245,000 completed and the results given to congressional reps (one for each member of ECF).

Lets put it this way. I got one and reviewed it in my blog.

Then I went back and bought another.

I like it for three reasons.

1. Pocket friendly
2. Supports wattages 1-75 watts
3. The battery goes in upside down with vent holes at tge bottom. If it vents the gasses will be directed away from your face.

Item #3 above is the primary reason i bought a second Pico
I like this thing. I think I'll buy one right now. Thanks.

My chocolate wrap LG HG2 battery gives me 3,000 mah of power.

Now that the HG2 is being heavily counterfeited, maybe folks will stop crowing about it. :rolleyes:

I have several and it's a full-on top-tier 20A cell, perhaps even a moderately strong one... but I don't consider a 50-60% mark-up for maybe 15-17% extra runtime to be particularly desirable.

Let it go folks. :p

I have to agree. Since even very reputable online battery sellers have unknowingly been sent, (and sold), counterfeit "HG2"s, one's better off buying Samsung 30Q's if they want max battery life, and only if they're priced well. I can see spending a few extra bucks for higher CDR batts if you like to really crank up the power, but that's it.

Does anyone know if the Smok TFV8 will fit (think it is 24.5mm at the base and 25mm is the max (think this is about 1/4 of the way up) on to the pico? or would a Heat-sink have to be used to lift the tank above the battery cap?

Also i am guessing the smok TFV8 would be pointless on the pico as most the coils ask for 50w+ and the best watt (taken from Smok website about coils) are above 90w+
Apart from the RBA that says 50-140w (no best watts given with this one)

Yes i have a mod that would work with the TFV8 but thought i would see if the pico would still be able to power it as love the little pico when out and about.

I think you're right on both. I have a 22mm tfv4 micro on mine and there might be room for a bigger one, but then you're getting really close to the battery screw cap. And from what I've read, the tfv8 coils don't really kick in at such low wattage. I just ordered an h private from GearBest, I'll show a video when I get it, just for bigger tanks. I do see a lot of people using the tfv4 micro and mini on the Pico with good result though.

OK, I stated before that my Pico drops wattage setting by .2 watts every day. Now it's dropping it by 6 watts in a few minutes. I keep it set at 26 watts. While vaping today, the hit got weak, I looked and it was on 14.6, set it back to 26 and a few minutes later it was down to 24.4.

What is going on with this thing? My buttons are locked.

I have heard this happened before but normal goes down by 1w(or it might of been 0.1w) when battery or tank is changed. they have released firmware update (V1.01) that looks like fixes the issue. ( you also get smart mod, able to add a pic (see above as i added one showing pac-man) and some other bits. i have heard they have taken away the volts or something from the wattage screen)
it can be found here at the bottom of the page.

If the firmware does not fix the issue could be you have a faulty unit or battery.
have you tried a different battery in it? cleaned the connection to the unit (Tank battery)
