Good Place to get an Istick Pico?

[EverythingEvil]

I recently ended up getting a fake istick Pico, it was rather blatantly obvious it was not real when I noticed the "scratch" code was just printed on the damn box. I really wouldn't worry that it's a clone either if the chips power output wasn't so abysmal. It literally won't output power any higher than the batteries voltage, you can turn the power down just fine though (go figure).

Can someone recommend me a decent vendor for a pico? Its been quite a while since I've wanted or had to buy a mod. When I began vaping crap regulated clones whern't really a thing, in fact almost all of my mods are clones. It's just not near the issue when its just a metal tube with 510 connector.

I got a fake Pico off ebay. The seller has sold 998 and has 98.4% positive feedback. And yep, scratch code just printed on the box. The one I got, came with the battery cap screwed on crooked and I never could even get the cap to fit over a battery without damaging the battery wrap or screw the cap on straight. Tossed it. $22 lesson learned. Ordered one from Eleaf. But could have bought one from the local vape shop as I'd previously done.

My first stop online when I'm searching for vape gear is My Vapor Store. I've used them for several years and know them to sell authentic name brand equipment at competitive prices.

I've also used Fast Tech when I don't mind waiting 3 - 4 weeks on that slow boat from China. Prices are cheaper than those in the States. Just make sure your item is described as "authentic".

Vapecrawler is a friend of the working man/woman.

I got mine from FastTech (SKU: 4849000). If it says "Authentic" on FT, it's authentic*. If it says "styled" then it's a clone.

*(Usually. Once in a while something will slip through like an "Authentic Coil Father Doggystyle Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer." That was a clone of the Doggystyle RTA (authentic made by Animodz in France), "authentic Coil Father" here meant that was the name of the company that produced this particular clone. However, they don't do this for deceptive purposes; someone alerted them [FastTech] to the error and the listing has now been corrected to just read "Coil Father Doggystyle Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer."

I have used fast tech in the past with great results as well. I just dont really want to wait for 3 weeks right now, patience is not something I have a whole lot of sadly.

Ah, then yeah, a US vendor might be more up your alley. I haven't used MVS personally (MyVaporStore.com), but I hear good things. In my own experience, I have used VapeNW.com and they had good prices and quick turn-around time. I've also used Mad Vapes in the past; they were alright, but nothing to write home about. I suppose your best bet would be to look up their locations and order from somewhere close to you. I'm in Oregon, so just one state over from VapeNW in WA is probably why their shipping seemed so fast.

My first and only online purchase of a pico was ebay. I kind of WISH it had been authentic, but it wasn't. It was broken and the two "coil heads" were clearly refurbished. Although it WAS authentic, I believe.

I like MVS for that kind of stuff, my eye is not currently out for picos but vapecrawler could certainly let you know which US vendors have them (and maybe not for the MOST rock bottom price as those advertising on it do pay a price to vapecrawler) but it beats um, ebay. Etc. That would at least give you some options. I have never once had a vapecrawler purchase be fake, they're usually pretty good about that.

My sympathies on your clone.

Was he from New Jersey? I hope not

 

[stols001]

LOL, I got it early on, I have absolutely no clue. I was pretty early on in my learning to buy travels.

I'm going to GUESS he was from New Jersey, LOL.

After looking back at the purchase, the seller I got my fake from is indeed from New Jersey.

I hope mine will be real or I will call paypal

At the risk of steering someone to a vendor I haven't used, this one looks very legit (in Colorado) and has the mod only for $27.95 with a choice of a over a dozen colors and finishes and mod only or the full kit. Only one color is out of stock. They are showing all the rest in stock. At least it's a US dealer. I'd wouldn't hesitate to buy from them.

Eleaf iStick Pico 75W TC

I also like MyVaporStore. They have a range of choices and a black Pico for $28.99 mod only. The link below takes you to a page of choices.

I ended up going with fasttech despite my comments about not wanting to wait forever on shipping. It only took about 7-8 buisness days to ship from china and it is indeed authentic. It cost me roughly $2 more than the stupid clone.
