Hey guys. I'm still new here so I'm posting it right here.
Looking for a DIY atty, which can make really nice clouds. So far I've tested Derringer v2 (clone) , Avocado 22mm (clone) and Aromamizer v1 (authentic). With aromamizer liquids taste different than on Avocado but Avocado doesn't do so much vapor. And that different taste is something what bothers me - kinda feels "tighter". There is also bigger throat hit, which I don't prefer.
Long story short, lf max 23mm atty (not a dripper) which I can feed with max 75w and it will do some big clouds. Trinity deck would be great but I can live without it.
23mm and 75w because Pico as a main mod.

Thanks for any help.

I run a tfv4 micro on the pico and fog it up all day. I use the rca that came with the full kit and am running 5 wrap 3mm 26/32 stainless clapton coil at 44 watts with homemade root beer 80vg/20pg. You can also fit the tfv4 mini on the pico, but the build deck is bigger and you might hit a situation where you need more power.

The Pico runs one 18650 battery. 44 watts prob runs through that battery in an hour. More coils will require more power. The TFV4 RBA hes running is a single air slot so hes either running a single coil or a parallel coil. Clapton is a style of single coil but can be run multi if you have a different deck. Generally more coils will produce more vapor.

Clouds are also in the juice. Hes vaping high VG percentage juice, pretty much at the maximum VG constant for producing a noticeable difference in cloud size production.

The new TFV8 RBA deck runs dual air slots and the Tank itself opens up air flow probably 4x as much. Full set comes with pre built octa coil.

So if I understand correctly, you using single coil? Need to check vapor production later on YouTube on single coil.
And by that last sentence you mean that you can build more hungry builds?
yup single coil, I make my own clapton wire out of 318l stainless steel. It heats up faster and keeps my resistance low. The biggest clapton wire I can fit in my micro rba (the rebuildable head that comes with the full micro kit) is 26/32. You can cram a bigger wire in there but it won't really sit right under the screw, more like beside it. The tfv4 mini uses the same attys as the tfv4 full size and you can fit a much larger coil in there, but more coil=more power needed to fire it.
The name of the game is surface area. The more coil that comes in contact with eliquid, the more vapor. But not all decks are created equal. I have a 2 coil deck for the tfv4 micro, but (for me) it doesn't taste as good or produce as much vapor as the single coil rba head. I suspect it has to do with not enough airflow out of that tiny deck.
A pico is pretty much limited to75watts and a 22mm tank, or rda, (23mms fit, kinda, but vary in size a little, and in my opinion, its hard enough to unscrew the battery cap with a 22mm as it is)which limits space to build, airflow to carry the vapor, and power to heat up the coils. tfv4 micro and mini full kits run about 20 bucks from china and I feel they're a pain in the buns to build on, but worth it overall for amazing taste and great vapor production. You will not get a tfv8 on the pico, too wide to screw on and not enough power to fire.

Hi Immortel. I would suggest you take a look at the Griffin. I own two of the originals and one of the 25mm versions with top air flow. I think one of them might fit your needs, and they're not very pricey.
