I swear, I'm putting you on my "to stalk" list.

She's already on mine, but she's VERY difficult to catch. She has a way of escaping sight & camera that is absolutely uncanny (and KWITE aggregating!)...

You are too, just by the way. ;)

clnire,,, tell me. Do you like the Pico?

I love my Picos. I have no problems firing them. I have silicon sleeves (with a hole for battery vent area) and for me the raised part over the fire button helps me to find it without looking. There is actually a little vertical ridge in the middle of the fire button cover that is easy to find. They just fit my hand perfectly and feel good. I agree that the battery cover feels kinda cheep :rolleyes:, but I am very careful with my mods and tanks so I don't anticipate problems.

Got a Pico in from the sea turtle a week or so back. The brushed stainless, no sleeve, no paint to scratch off ;)

While not a whole lot smaller than my Cloupor Minis, it's enough that I do have to make a mental adjustment while using it. And, while my hands are by no means large, it's almost too small to be comfortable for me.

I'm finding that firing is easiest if the screen is away and I wrap my index finger across the fire button, pressing not with the finger tip but by squeezing so the first joint of the finger presses against the button. It does "match" the curve, and seems a bit less awkward.

I have large hands, but really don't have an issue with the Pico's size. I also use my thumb to fire, probably out of habit with every other mod I use.

For me it depends on the mod's geometry. Some are thumb, some index, some, like my Pressa75 and Rolo RX75, just squeeze ;)

Hmmm, I must be weird. With the pico I can use it either way. If the button is facing me I tend to press it with the space between my thumb and index finger, and if it is facing away it is with the the space between my two knuckles of my index finger. I guess after the Presa 75W and the rolo I have become a grabber.

I do the same. I mostly use it with the knuckle joint of my thumb so I can keep an eye on the battery drain these sub ohm coils do to it but I often use it with my index finger as well.

I use my tongue to press the button, which is what I would have thought you did also, considering your avi. :unsure:

Great to hear that! I might end up testing the limits to your offer...
Have you ever rebuilt those coils?
My smoktech bcc coils had rubbery tasting grommets and funny tasting wicks. I'll learn to rebuild them, but might those have been old stock, and were they improved, later?

yes I did build many of those - that was during the onslaught of INCOMING cotton craze so I took the silica out, replaced with Japanese cotton (high tech at the time)

Where do you get those sleeves for the Pico?
of course sweet-vapes is the correct answer

The 'Burgh, PA.
(And the link to coils from both of those look like the Smoktech version of the T3S, so....)

yepper, the " rule-of-thumb " is T3S fits in all of the kanger type bcc
not all fit into the T3S...

bonus tip: those Smok coils work pretty good too - almost identical to the kanger (if ya happen to find them cheap)

Thanx @DavidOck and @pufZeppelin ...yunz guys are so smart (and helpful)!!! :thumbs:

I LOVE the T3S coils...they're cheap, last 1-2 months, NEVER gurgle and give me a completely satisfying 7-9 Watts MTL vape.

MV seems to have multiple BCC Tanks...but when I Search "Kanger T3S coils"...I get "No Results".

So...1 more question...can the 2.5mL PBC V2 Tank and/or the 3.5mL NBC Tank use the T3S coils???

2.5mL PBC V2 Tanks | Madvapes

3.5mL NBC Tanks | Madvapes
