I also have a Pico.

It is working great for me.

I posted a review of the Pico in my blog.

I LOVE the fact that it is a lower profile and more pocketable device

I have only had tge Pico a few weeks and so far it has been great.

A LOT of people bash everything by eleaf.

Every eleaf mod i have had has worked well. Every eleaf Atty i have had has been CRAP.

Did you get the kit with the melo 3 tank or just the mod? I'm picking up quite a few of those kayfun monster minis you recommended awhile back as well. My husband and I just closed on a house so I'll have money here at the beginning of June. I plan on placing a good sized order then and then finish my stockpiling beginning of July. Then I'll hopefully be good for years to come.

Nice, I was wondering how they've been working out for you. I'm going to grab five of them and get replacement bell caps. They seem like they would look nice with the pico and now you just confirmed it.

If you look at my Avatar: that is the Kayfun Monster Mini V3 sitting on top of my black Pico.

I had a subtank mini and after a month the pin was dead, I know the topbox is finally spring loaded but still I don't think I'll get another mod from Kanger (I do love my subtanks though and wish to get a protank 4). My pico has been amazing, it shelved my Evic VTC mini. I love it.

That Rba looks really nice, I got the ECR heads from ealeaf and they are pretty decent, until the rubbery insulator breaks which is bound to happen.

The Pico is a solid mod.
It survives workdays with me.

Lot of good things about it but ive just reported a glitch in it on the main pico thread.

After about a week of moderate use exactly as per the manual and no drops or mishandling it does not turn on and off with the 5 clicks. Have to do it 3-4 times in succession for it to turn on.

Tried rapid clicks, slower clicks, clicking fro the sides of the button....same result. Others have reported this too.

But when its on, it works good.

I have the Pico as well as a SOLID iStick 50 and iStick 30 (Had 4 of those but have PIF'd 3 of them) 2nd Pico is en route. I've been VERY PLEASED with the Pico, except that once in a while, I notice the power drops a tenth or two. Not sure if I've hit a button or what, but I've seen other people comment on that as well. I'm quite comfortable with having a couple of these in my stash :)

I got the full authentic kit with Melo III for $38.00 shipped on Ebay. I am currently using RDAs and my Griffin 22MM.............. but I am going to buy the ECR head that you can rebuild for the Melo III........... I figure the more re-buildable items I have on hand for the vape doomsday the better :eek:

I've had my Pico for 6 wks.While reading this thread pulled it out & atomizer short on screen.
Check atty, nothing wrong. Try another, short reading again. Short wipe with t-shirt, fine.
Dirty threads usually read no atomizer.
Another thing to ponder?..

What's to ponder? This isn't a "problem". Wipe off your atty threads, (and swab the mod's 510 with a q-tip), from time to time. You should be doing that anyway.

Should say NO ATOMIZER NOT SHORT.
Do you even know the difference?..

No, I'm totally clueless. :rolleyes:

In this case, they're interchangeable; i.e. inappropriate "no fire" errors quickly fixed by cleaning the connection.

The standards some people try to hold ~$30 mods to are a little high.

Not the same at all. Two discrete error messages for two discrete phenomenons.
You have little if any standards on the advice you throw out..
