Looks pretty fancy. I passed on the orion, too. I'm just not sure if there's room for a "luxury pod system" in my life.
i've got two now...the orion and flint. as long as the coils/pods keep being made i don't really feel the need for another. unlike many other vape related items. got 8 tube mechs but really fancy a brass dreamer...

Good morning Shines,
Sent a mod in for repair that was shipped back to me on Friday, alas it seems to have lost it's way.. and its from Alaska..Last update was midnight night before last.. and of course the information that i get is not what one would call comforting that someone is looking into the case..
There is always Hope.....

You can't go wrong with a brass Dreamer. Would look super nice with a matching Ardent, too. On the subject of pods, I'm still rocking the same Smok Infinix I bought last year. No complaints yet.

I have zero pods, reason being that very few were adjustable at all. I just could not. I’m glad that’s changing. That flint is a little cutie. I might snag one of those. I just want something that’ll hold me for 2-3 hours and is pocket friendly without costing a fortune.

Good morning shiners! Sunny and nice out here.



You can get them from cool master. Coil Master Gremlin BF Silicone Bottle - Coil Master. Free shipping.

I've seen them on eBay as well about a dollar cheaper.
thanks though all a bit across the pond for me...even on ebay uk (£13 shipping). will keep eyes open.

think a brass dreamer will be got next month. seen them for under £60 over here. the ardent might take a bit longer to filter across though i do like that hybrid feature.

So I have a Tesla WYE 85W mod and a Pico X mod. The Tesla has been just an excellent mod so far and I love it. The Pico is also very nice, but not quite as good as the Tesla imo.

However my question is, Why does the battery in the Pico not last as long as the Tesla? The Tesla seem's to last about 30% longer than the Pico. I use the exact same batteries Samsung 30Q's in both mods.

Any reasons for this?

the board and chip play a role. some are more efficient than others. having owned a mod from both nanufacturers i'd say the tesla wins easily but that's only my experience.

Can anything be done to increase the batt life in the Pico X ?

nope apart from lower wattage and/or use a higher resistance coil. what are you running currently?
carry a second battery in a wee case?

I'm pretty much a tootle puffer, around 1ohm 10 to 12 watts, I have 5 batteries I charge externally so it's not really a problem just like my stuff to be efficient. Thanks for your help

Unless there is a firmware that was released that deals with battery performance there is nothing you can do with the exception of using a lower wattage.

And to add, on top of efficiency, one device may have a lower low voltage cut off than the other. Example – The Tesla cuts off voltage at 3 volts but the Pico at 3.2 volts. Not saying this is the issue, you will have to measure the batteries when the device displays that low battery error, but this example can given the perception of poor battery performance.

I’m waiting for Squid to release their pod. Shaped like an Orion, but with adjustable wattage. Under $50. Battery size will be the decider.
