Hopefully I don't get arrested for my post here, almost did posting in a subforum I wasn't aware of...anyway, I picked up a Pico from 3FVape and like I said in my illegal deleted post it's a nice little tank that's very easy to build, produces adequate vapor, as far as flavor is concerned I'm a little disappointed, I thought it be much better than it is, it's good but not great.

I don't usually tell people to buy clones but in this case I would highly recommend picking one up from 3FVape, the quality surprised me, I can usually spot a clone a mile away but this one is excellent...id just hate to see you pay top dollar and have it not perform up to your standards. The one from 3F came with all the parts for use with prebuilt coils as well, and the machining is perfect top to bottom.

Trust me, the guys buying these at flipper prices will be very disappointed.

I got some extra bits in a bag with this, don't know what they are for

Thought one bit was a SS drip tip but turned out not

The additional parts will allow you to use the Joyetech CLR coils, the authentic Pico doesn't come with it.

I don't know how long it took to receive yours from FT, my order from 3F showed up in 5 days during the holidays, I have domestic packages here in the US that don't show up that quickly.

Just a footnote regarding these micro-tanks, I purchased a Youde Goblin Mini recently thinking it would be really good, the problem with it, for me anyway was the deck screws would cut the wire when tightened and the drip tip setup was horrible, it was a bummer because I loved the look and size...having said that, if you're looking for a micro-RTA the Pico is a better choice IMO, although the Goblin is dual or single coil capable you'd be filling it every 30 minutes in dual-coil mode.

The good thing with either of these tanks is their inexpensive and if you don't like it it's not gonna kill ya.

take your Goblin screws and run the end of the screw across a file or an emory board a few times. Theres more than likely a sharp edge from machining cutting your wire. Smooth off the tip of the screw and it'll quit snipping your wires.

I sold it, the drip tip was the deal breaker...I didn't want to spent 25 bucks on the captured DT lightening vapes was selling to fix the problem, I'm sure they'll fix the issues with the V2, UD is pretty good and fast at updating their products.

I failed to mention my use of rayon for wicking, it's slow to produce full flavor unlike cotton, so my earlier comment regarding muted flavor was a little premature, it's definitely getting better…once fully broken in I feel like it'll be on par with my Kayfun's.

When this tankful is done I'm gonna try a vertical build in the Pico, it looks like it'll handle a vertical build no problem…It'll hold at least an extra ML of juice with all that additional rayon, but will it produce more flavor, I guess we'll find out.

Here's a size comparison next to a Kayfun nano setup.

An actual metal needle tip isn't required but would be the best filling method, I filled up with a very small diameter juice bottle eye dropper and didn't have a problem, anything bigger than what I used might make a little mess...there's 4 fill holes all pretty small but they allow air to escape and that makes it a pretty clean process.
