Looking at the Pico Squeeze and the Coppervape with a Hadaly. Is there anything smaller than these setups? Is there any benefit of the regulation on the Pico Squeeze versus a mechanical like the Coppervape? Since you can't adjust the wattage I don't really understand the benefit of the regulation in the Pico Squeeze. Does it keep the power more constant with less battery drop off in the Pico Squeeze? Also will I have leaking issues with the Hadaly? The airflow holes look to be really low.
Thanks!

Can't speak for mods, I use regulated. From my understanding the pico squeeze operates like a mech so no it doesn't keep the power regulated. It does have a 50w limit and reverse battery protection so that's probably it's biggest market, people wanting a mech on the cheap with some added protection. I mainly use a VT Inbox which is small for regulated but their are smaller mech choices.

As for small attys the Hadaly is a awesome small great performer. If you're looking for something even smaller check out the Shift BF which is also an excellent vape. It and the Hadaly are my current two favorites.

    I have one of the above. While I consider it more of a novelty than a serious day-2-day work horse it is the smallest BF setup I've seen to date.

    Are you looking for an 18650 size solution?
    Frankenskull maybe?

    My Pico Squeeze and Origen 16 setup is about as small as I can see being useable as a regular device.

    The Pico is basically a mech with a battery indicator light and a bit of added protection. I think it is a fantastic mod for under $20. I just ordered a 10 pack of replacement bottles and a spare bottom door/cover for about $5 total, so cool that extra parts are available for it now.

    Saw this one the other day, pretty funny. Not really what I am looking for.

    Seems to be even smaller than the Coppermod which is impressive but the CV is better looking imo.

    Thanks, I ordered the Pico Squeeze and the Hadaly from FT yesterday, I am now trying to add extra bottles to my order. hopefully I can find a build that I like that doesn't drain it too quickly. I assume that charging via the usb takes forever?

    A Reo mini with a O-little 16 would be pretty small. It's mech 14500. The Reo Mini 2.1 is also small and takes a...18500 I think. Brain bubble. Also the RM2 is pretty small. Personally, I don't think the Hadaly is small but no problems here with leaking at all.
    Good to know that the Hadaly doesn't leak. Do you have any other BF rdas that you can suggest that are smaller than the Hadaly and perform as well? The Shift BF looks good as well but it is certainly less popular than the Hadaly.

    Update: I now have the Pico Squeeze, SXK Hadaly, SXK Shift BF, and extra bottles on order from FT. Still debating whether I want to pick up the CV mod or not.

    I would never charge via USB on a quasi-mech like the Pico Squeeze, so no clue.

    I won't even charge my Smok G-Priv and Alien via USB and they apparently have balanced charging.

    P.s. You will likely love the Halady. Great BF atty IMO. The FT clone is very high quality.

    I usually say the same thing but I have so many 18650 batteries that I don't really mind doing it if I'm in a situation where I don't have a charger or extra batteries.

    What is the sweet spot for resistance on the Pico Squeeze?

    Haven't had it long but is working well with an Origen 16 with a 0.4ohm single coil.

    I wouldn't build much below that...

    I've heard this one is good- $12.50 SXK BF-99 Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel / 18mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
    I ordered it but it got lost in the mail. Or something.
    But this is my favorite right now- $9.28 Origen Little Styled RDA Rebuilable Dripping Atomizer - 316 stainless steel / 16mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
    I bought one before they were cloned and love it. But now I can have more than one. :)

    You want super small, a Speed if you can find one, or a NoFear NoLimit. 14mm on those. VapinArt had the NoLimit. Pricey.

    That squeeze is tiny, and works fine!
    I run it around 0.45 ohms, like any of my mech squonkers.
    It hits/behaves just like a mechanical with the only advantages being:
    - 5-click on/off
    - funny little light comes on post-vape every time. If it blinks slow, you're running a little low, if it blinks fast, swap batteries

    I think the Hadaly is a great matchup for it.
    I've also run Nuppin (not available, but pictured) an M-atty clone (on it right now), the O-16 (already mentioned)...

    Thanks, I was more referring to shorter rather than smaller diameter. I think that the Hadaly and Shift BF should serve me well. I also ordered the brass CV mod and I have a feeling the Hadaly will end up living on the CV mod while the Shift will likely stay on the Pico.

    I received the SXK BF-99 aka NoToy from FT earlier today. For a smaller diameter atty I'm liking it better than the Origen Little. To me the airflow is smoother and quieter with more adjustability. It feels more like the airflow on the Hadaly to me and it's an easier to build imo, lots of room for it's size.

    For my cvs i bfed a couple of Derringer v3s (dual or single coil option ,velocity deck, 22mm, drill 1x 2mm hole through the pos screw and done) one probably will end up on the frankenskull clone when it gets in (today hopefully)
