Portable alternative to MVP3 ?

[spiritnan]

Just loving my new MVP3 but looking for sthg. lighter weight & smaller to travel around with , any suggestions for a similar vape experience for on the move? I purchased the eleaf iStick Pico with that intention & it is fine re: size & weight but I cannot get it to stop leaking which makes it not a good choice for putting in a bag or back pocket ! any suggestions would be much appreciated ... I have received so much help from you all here & am very grateful !
Are there any stick models that you would recommend ? I have had the vision spinner for a few years & it's OK but something a bit more stable when a nautilus mini tank for example is used would be better ... shorter & fatter with some power ?
Thanks so much for any suggestions !

It won't be the Eleaf iStick Pico mod itself that's leaking - it'll be the head that you're using with it - just stop using that head until you get it sorted out, whether it be faulty heads or defective o-rings, or poor priming/filling technique etc.

If you're still looking for an ergonomic, affordable but powerful 1-battery (removable - a good thing) you can get the VTC Mini for around USD$30 now - it goes up to 75W and supports TC using SS, Ti and Ni etc.

An alternative tank would depend on what kind of vape you like - I'm guessing MTL-style if you like your Nautilus - maybe a tank like the new Protank 4 would interest you as it seems it can be dialled down to satisfactory MTL and takes prebuilt heads as well as having an RBA which allows you to build your own coils and wicks should you choose to go down that route in the future. It saves quite a lot of money, and lets you tailor your vaping experience to just how you likeit.

Thx ... I know it isn't the pico mod itself that is leaking & I like the mod . I have taken apart 3 times now the melo3 tank & the rings etc all look fine to me but maybe I screwed it in too hard . I have a pro tank 2 and am OK with it but just OK ... is the 4 that much better , you think ? I like removable bats & am not yet into wick rebuilding but like the idea of being able to if the time comes as you are right ... it becomes expensive buying all the gear for this vaping habit ! Thx a lot for the suggestions , much appreciated !

Thinking on the Melo3, leakage can be caused by several things; most likely the wicking. Have you tried the Melo3 with the MVP3? Does it still leak?

Edit: There are variables, so trying different set-ups, builds helps to eliminate causes.

If you're looking for something for a few hours of out and about, you might try the Joyetech AIO. I like my bigger mods and kayfuns, but also appreciate something small and simple for grab and go.

I would just look at new tanks. What tank are you using on your MVP?
