Thoughts on the pico s?

[stols001]

I hate to say it and but well, I do think the eleaf Invoke could replace all the Picos and do it in style. (Please don't hurt me, I happened to win one and that's the only way I found out about it's greatness.)

But for a two battery mod without a jillion bells and whistles, it's pretty comparable to the Picos just a good basic, amazingly tiny and light two battery mod. It's like one of my favorite wins, ever, also durable despite weight, it is going strong after several drops. Just saying. It doesn't have the buttons on the bottom though and you have to lock your settings if out and about, I did find that one out the hard way otherwise no complaints.

I've got the original Pico, the Squeeze, Squeeze 2, and Pico 21700. I like them all, but the original Pico is falling out of favor with me since I can't put larger tanks on it.

I'm thinking of picking up either a Pico 25 (don't have one yet) or another Pico 21700. Can't decide.

I was also looking at the Pico S. Kind of been torn between getting it or another 21700 instead of a Pico 25.

The invoke has a very clean design, plus a centered 510 - which was about damn time the industry made it standard. No more side antennas on our mods! Next step is even more symetry, like with the OBS Cube - perhaps the best looking modern regmod out there right now. If that one only had a replacable battery, I'd be all over it...

IDK I kind of like the non standardization at times (when I'm not hating it with new equipment).

This Pico S? I've had it for a few months and I like it. Not the tank bundled with it; had to put the Beast on top and the S pushes it just fine

I personally do not spend any money whatsoever on anything Joyetech. However my (mod beater) wife has had an OG Pico since they came out. That poor satin Grey mod has been dropped and abused to the point, even I feel sorry for it. Yet it still looks and performs like new. Not a single scratch. I like that dedicated battery compartment as she also leaks juice on it and the battery is not affected. About the only negative is that it slightly crushes the positive side of the battery.

I love my Joyetech mods. I have had a ton of them and they've never failed me.
My all time favorite mod is a VTC Mini I still use every day. Had it since it came out.
I also BABY the heck out of my gear though.
Different strokes and all that........

I'm about to buy my 6th Joyetech device in a row -.-

Guess you two stopped reading after my first sentence which was nothing but praise for the Pico

 

[stols001]

Me and joytech don't mesh. They asked me to do some reviews. I said no (but, I always do, I like vaping to be fun, and I always feel to obligated.) I did not tell them I COULD NOT do the review, because their equipment would have been broken by me before my review ended .

I actually LIKE their stuff, we just don't mesh unfortunately. Eleaf (I know the companies are connected somehow, or at least I think I know it) is totally fine.

LOL, sometimes the ways of the vape are mysterious indeed.

Started with Tanks but always had leaking problems and dry hits. Granted that was a while back and tanks have improved. Squonking has been my choice since then and never looked back. I do like Pico gear and just recently got the Pico squeeze 2 which I do like especially with a DR on it.
Just curious though, how's the tank with his Pico S...any leaks or dry hits? Maybe worth a try since the price is very reasonable.

That part was was very true and not controversial though......

And the Eleaf Invoke: 77x27x45mm
That's smaller than the Pico 21700

Have you been staring at them in the locker room again...............

I personally don't care for a centered 510. I don't like the look of most of them.
Different strokes......

Symmetry? Doesn't get more symmetrical than tube modes......

 

[stols001]

I have five tube mods in use, and I love them. I don't mind a nice centered 510 now and then but tube mods are indeed the bomb.

Eleaf (I know the companies are connected somehow, or at least I think I know it) is totally fine.

Joyetech, Eleaf, and Wismec are the same company (same parent company) and some of their mods even share the same boards, chips, screens, etc.

 

[stols001]

I know. I considered the one Wismec tank I owned the suckage also. (Although it was better than the ego megas, honestly).

I have this theory that they sort of "train up" engineers or designers or whatever and Joytech is the bottom while Eleaf is the top of the heap. Its just a theory. I'm fairly certain however, that the designer who designed the CLR coil was like, some sort of Wunderkind akin to like, Steve Jobs or whatever, and he's hidden away somewhere now handcrafting high end mech mods. Etc.

That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

The Pico S uses a 21700, but the Pico 21700 and the Pico S are two different mods.

Thanks, I missed that in my earlier post. Neat looking device

FWIW, here is the review of the Pico S from DJLsb Vapes. Looks like it performs pretty good too.

Looks like a great mod Anna

My only caveats are, it's taller and with 2 batteries heavier than the small Picos. And it's hard if not impossible to get to the board inside.

Still, it looks like a great, small dual battery mod

 

[stols001]

I begrudge no one their love for Picos, I just haven't had the greatest luck with them, but I think they are pretty awesome tiny mods. I also kind of like the buttons on the bottom feature. There is something about the single battery one I don't like it seemed to me that the internal one just had better overall construction.

Of course that purchase was my initial "I think everyone has one" ill advised purchase from Ebay vape gear. Mine arrived bricked, and it was quite clear the coil heads had been poorly rebuilt and not only that I think I didn't open it right away for some reason so I couldn't even return it and etc. It gave me the heebie jeebies. LOL

Oh well, live and learn, but (apart from being bricked) it just sort of seemed to have a more solid construction. LOL guess I will never know, and it's possible just that Oh so Aversive Experience was enough to turn me off them for life. I got a rainbow external battery mod to try but like, the finish was rough, even the driptip and I didn't care for the tank, so I just sold it barely used.

It's probably not the picos (like much of joytech) I just develop vendors that don't work well for me. Variety is the spice of life. I kind of wish I hadn't gotten the rainbow finish, I might have quite liked the mod, etc.
