yup. it's a clone. but i like it. it's a great MTL type tank. i really like the design. good little flavor atty using mesh or cotton.
My fasttech clone is on its way (or at least the tracking says it's been processed through the sort facility in China).
Ive thought about using mesh but the wick hole is higher than where the coil sits.
Guys, one question about the Pico: if you trim the coils close to the chimney, how they get nice when the tank is almost empty? You have to keep the juice levels at the wick level? [emoji848]
i was referring to the k.loud+G atty that he was asking about.
PICO i've only run cotton. i dunno if mesh would get to hot sitting directly on the peek chamber of the Pico.
Yah it could melt it maybe I dunno and I dont want to find outi was referring to the k.loud+G atty that he was asking about.
Hey there
Wanted to ask has anyone tried Pico with a Nickel build?
I've tried 28g ni200 2.5 , 7wraps but can't seem to get the flavor I've been expecting ~
Some say it's the peek material that gives off a funny taste
I'm currently using an sx mini m class: 420 f at 20 j 0.09ohm
Please need some help~!

I have used KA1, SS316 & Ti Gr1 in mine and there is no funny taste aka monkey a s s
Ni200 seems to taste funny to me, only used it for a few days then switched to Ti, never been back
I know its a hassle for you, but could you please tell me when using Ti on the Pico, what the setup is and aswell some images of your setup~I have used KA1, SS316 & Ti Gr1 in mine and there is no funny taste aka monkey a s s

Thanks!
No pics atm as have a kanthal build in there currently[I think]
mon-fri & sat this week is work so its back to my work horses subtank mini's & Billow v2's
Standard Ti for me is 26awg or 24awg between 5 & 6 spaced wraps with 3mm id
Though I was using 2.5 id in the pico

Hey rhelton~Yah it could melt it maybe I dunno and I dont want to find out
Did you manage to get pics of your build? Lol still waiting~^^
I'll definitely agree that the Pico-S isnt to the same standard as the normal version.
The only things I prefer from the S are the juice holes right at the bottom of the chamber, and the chamber cap is a push-in fit instead of screw on.
The terminal screws heads on it are ridiculously tiny.
If you don't get everything sitting exactly right on the S version it dumps your tank in a jiffy! lol
Regardless, I have both versions working nicely now, although neither will do temp control satisfactorily. (I'm using SS316L wire)
Im been working with mine to get it right with ni200 since no ones been talking about using it and~~
Yes I love it!
Currently using 28g ni200 3.0 6wraps
At 0.09 ohm 420f 18j (sx-mini m)
This PICO really brings out the flavor of the juices~!
Been previously using rose v-2 and Eviva-T , but in my opinion it beats those two in terms of flavor! But doesnt mean I dont love these 2 ~ we all know every RTA has different flavors~ used my all time favorite juice Kilo d-cream and thats what I felt after testing them on all three.
Im a flavor chaser not a cloud chaser so for me thats good~
Only one down side is that the capacity is small, therefore need to refill more compared to bigger tanks~
But hey for the flavor~why not
Any opinions are appreciated~^^

Maybe someone can set me straight on my confusion on the tank materials. I just ordered the one from 3FVape here:
Pico Silver 3ml Stainless Steel PEI RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer
This is what they say on their compare to original page:
"This RTA comes with 2 tanks, one PEK tank (transparent) and one PEI tank (yellow).The transparent tank is made of peek and the yellow one is made of PEI (Polyetherimide), PEI has a good stability and very resistant to heat, abrasion, acids,alkali and high temperature. As we all know acrylic is not that friendly to pure VG juice. But when you use this PEI tank , you can use high VG e-liquid."
First of all I know what "peek" is, fairly expensive material used to insulate internal electrical tank positive/negative posts etc. The Chinese at least for this product listing uses the letters "PEK", ok let's say that's shorthand. But isn't the clear tank "acrylic", some sites say PMMA, not sure what those letters mean, but I think of acrylic as PLASTIC. "PEEK" is not transparent from what I've ever seen.
But the chamber is supposedly made of PEEK material, which we all know is super heat resistant, I believe it is also called "Ultem", the yellow color. The "peek" I usually see in small pieces in tanks, usually looks "off white". But as you can see from their above statement, their "yellow" tank is made of "PEI", not sure what that is in comparison.
So with all that confusion, I'm thinking translation issues perhaps. For the sake of getting some help, I'm going to assume ???:
1) The clear tank is PLASTIC? Not whatever "PEK" is?
2)The YELLOW tank is "Ultem", NOT PEEK? Don't know what "PEI" really is.
3)The chamber is "PEEK", the off white material. This is the only one that is clear and makes sense to me.
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to make my questions as clear as possible. Appreciate any clarifications, but please don't guess if you don't know or care, I'll just get more confused!

I dont get the base design. I have no seal around the 510 screw so the air just floods in. Am I missing something?? It is totally useless as it is but maybe I've lost a seal somewhere?!?!
Yeah I think you're missing something. Both models I bought have one.
