I have a couple Pico 25's and 75 resins; the 25 has a similar hand feel but IMO a much better fire button.

I agree. The button's a little bigger and has a different "tactile feedback" than the regular pico. Same with the Pico 21700 mod. The screen is also slightly bigger and easier to read on these newer Pico models.

And she SWEARS she got more RED-X's than that dude who claimed... :D


Alas, I have only one Pico 75. I'm looking to get more this spring. It's my favorite mod, even if I do have to use an adapter for my Zenith tank. I have some other mods in my stash, but not enough, lol, and they just aren't Picos.


edited to add: I like the look of that Swag II though...

Swag vs...... SWAG, absolutely. (tho the Picos are fine in the stash box)



I find myself using wattage mode more and more. I've become a little unimpressed with TC mode on many mods.


Hmmmmmmmm.......... :lol:

Truthfully, I have never been interested in Too Complicated.

Imma pretend i didnt read the Too Complicated :)

No, i cant....

TC is my favouritist thing in vaping, after:

1) The beloved TreeBox Mini - arguably gives the best TC vape ive ever had, still and ive owned waaaay more expensive and big name TC mods from DNA40 to DNA250, and Yihi (the worst at TC). Granted it was the ONLY mod Smok got right!. Extra trivia, also only TC mod ive ever seen where you can hotswap the batteries without powering down and back up or having to let the atty cool down, just pull the battery, put the new one in and continue...no dragons breaths on a battery change)

2) Unflavoured juice

Shoulda got you a TreeBox Mini m'lady

Luckily i know where theres one for sale.....

I gave my last pristine working one to a female vape friend in Aus when i gave up vaping a while back, and thought id never toot again, and on the agreement she would never sell it, for pain of death

Yesterday she listed it for sale at a bargain price :)

Hey guys. So for about a year or so I have Target mini with Doggystyles RTA (clone). It works like a charm. But I kinda see that the battery is getting older and RTA cap threads are not holding up as much. I guess in half a year this little buddy of mine wont hold anymore. Any recommendations for the next itty bitty mod? As I looked thru google I saw there is Target mini II and a cool looking Ehpro MTL rta? (I use my doggystyles 2k16 on half of its air setting).

I went from using only Doggies to the True you mention, and now the Precisio. Both are fantastic, but hard to find. Precisio is the best vape I've ever had.

I'm not buying any built in battery mods anymore. I still use my Target Mini and Nugget X, but when they die, they're done. For single 18650, I'm really liking my Asmodus Colossal and Armour Pro. Still use the Aegis Solo, but not as much as the other 2. It's a nice mod, and works great, but not as easy to slide in and out of pockets. I also picked up a couple of Pico 75's for the long term stash, and will be getting a Vaporesso Swag 2.

That's all I've got for you- good luck!

Oh, and I believe you can still get a pack of 5 doggy replacement tanks for only a few bucks on FastTech if you want.

I love the Vaporesso Swag 2. It has the form factor of the Eleaf Pico 25 but is much lighter in the hand. It takes a replaceable battery so it would require you to buy some batteries and a charger for it as well. If you want to stick with an integrated battery, you might want to stick with the Target Mini or even the Eleaf Istick 30. Mine all still work great!

Vaporesso Swag (not Swag 2) can be had for around $20 or less in the USA.

It a a tiny 18650 mod with a Pico form factor. But only fits up to 22mm tanks, though.

Haha! Thats cool dude. Altho I rarely take my vape to town, but when I do I love the fact that I just dont feel it in my pocket. (as a dude who used to carry tesla wye 200w + pharaoh). Could you or anyone else give me some MTL (I like tight draw) options to chose from(please write in full names, cuz I hardly follow vape trends and names...) Thank you! MTL is the best form of vaping haha!

I love my Hellvape MD RTA and there's a fantastic sale on them right now at Sourcemore with no coupon code needed. To see the good price, $17, though you have to log in. You can adjust the draw from really tight to a fairly loose MTL draw. I like mine fairly tight. The flavor is fantastic and it is the easiest tank to build I've ever had. The wicking is a breeze too. If you opt for the standard version, you'll get a straight tank with 2 ml. liquid capacity and you'll get the bubble tank too which will hold 4 ml. liquid.

My other favorite MTL RTA is the Steam Crave Glaz Mini. It brings good flavor, just not as great as the MD and is easy to build and wick. I am using the Glaz Mini and the MD as my vapocalypse tanks. Both tanks are built very well with great machining but I get nervous about bubble tanks breaking. With the Glaz Mini, there's no bubble tank, there is an extension you can use to take liquid capacity from 2 ml to 5 ml. The draw is very tight, but you can loosen it a bit.

There are tons of good MTL vapes out there these days, but I like these two so much I am buying multiples of each.

    Ordering, I'll take your word on it being good, and for $17, not much of a loss if don't like, just not sure what color to get though :)

    Oh good! I think you'll like it! If you don't like it, I'll buy it from you for the price you paid. I've got four of the SS and they look great, but today I ordered two more SS and two black. I really want to buy some of the gunmetal and the purple and gunmetal too.

    Of course we would do things the right way and go through the classies!

    I'm debating on the SS or the black, or just say bugger it and get both :)

    Have you ever considered an rda with a squonker? If you are looking for a whole new setup it’s the perfect time to switch. Rda’s are less finicky then rta’s and in my opinion (and many others) the rda is the zenith of flavor producing atomizers. Having said that, the Geek Vape Ammit MTL RDA is a good one. I’m going to have the Damn Vape Intense mtl rda shortly and it’s supposed to have intense flavor. It’s a mesh rda, the first mesh mtl atty, and it’s design is ingenious, give it a look and check out some YouTube reviews. Vaping Vic has a review on YouTube and is well respected. That Jain Hase dude liked it also but he’s a guy that folks seem to love or hate, I have no opinion personally. Really lots of attys can be mtl if you just close the airflow, problem is some don’t perform well like this but I find many single coil small chamber rda’s can be closed off almost fully and vape with excellence. I vape restricted pull and use many attys that would be considered direct lung achieving an excellent, flavorful vape.
    The Pico Squeeze 2 is a nice smaller Squonk mod that can use 18650 up to 21700 and would pair nicely with the suggested atomizers.
    If you just want a small normal mod the Ehpro Cold Steel 100 watt Mod is a solid selection. The Vaporesso Armour Pro is another good mod that can use the 21700. If you go single cell mod, a 21700 compatible one would be a wise choice. You get the battery life and have plenty of amps to run at whatever wattage you may want to now or in the future. Stay low watts and vape for days without recharge, run it higher and your battery won’t be stressing and you’ll still get a respectable day’s vape outta it. One more I almost forgot about that’s been around for a minute is the Wismec Sinuous P80 80W mod. Great little single cell mod that hits like a champ and can be had cheap (I’d think) because it’s been out for quite awhile. Good luck my friend and hopefully I’ve been helpful with your journey for a quality MTL vape.

    Oh both for sure!!

    Enabler :lol:

    Ended up spending $72, as ordered both, but also have the plex zlide coils for just under $7 for a 5 pack, so ordered 4 packs for the wife while at it, did suck they come from different warehouses though, so had to pay shipping twice, but still cheap compared to other places though :)

    Last order from sourcemore was good and came fast, fingers crossed they do me right again :)

    I admit to enabling! One of my favorite things to do! Glad you were able to get something for your wife too. I wish my husband vaped, so he would enjoy my purchases too!

    I had to pay for shipping from two warehouses too, but I love the fact that everything I ordered was 24 hours to ship! I've only ordered once from Sourcemore previously, but the shipping was fast and when I had questions, they were very responsive.

    I'm logged in at Sourcemore, and the price for the Hellvape shows $29.99 even after I put it in the cart. Is there some other trick?
