Did a little cleaning yesterday.
Then my Istic Pico decided it had had enough, fried the board. I had a vape, vaited a few minutes, tried to take a puff- nothing, but I noticed a smell of burned electronics. pulled it to pieces, and the board is shot.
I only have had 5 or 6 tanks trough it. BummerView attachment 665625

That's stinks ! I love the Picos. I have a few of them. They are great mods especially for the price. Hope you can get it fixed or replaced under warranty.

@Skold & @Two_Bears . . . BTW: Hope Ya' both know I was just being "cheeky" . . . ;) Of Course - Congratulations to you and your families on the new arrivals to your "clans"/"Family Tree" . . .

Honestly - Don't know how "Blessed" I am. Long story short - Although I have 5 Older/1 Younger siblings and a number of them profess how much family/closeness means to them, "We" are not close at all (which also is a "blessing", especially given some of their attitudes/behavior) . . . So I haven't seen - nor heard from many of them (including their children) for years, even when I was in the hospital for major heart surgery last year or since then either (only 1 sister has been in contact with 'Me" on "My" birthday, or every few months when she is feeling guilty, or going on a cruse with her husband/friends and needs a place to stay ). . . Such is life . . . :facepalm:



AH - Tell "Me" about it, "My" 1st Nephew was born almost 1 year after "My" youngest Brother (from a different father) . . . :lol: :lol: :lol:



Well - There is always finding out that there is an upcoming/was a wedding - or even the birth of a child & her children (Ya' never knew about) via FB post. . . As for meeting "new cousins" - Never meet any of them on "My" mother side of the family until she died 8 years ago and I brought her ashes to her "Families" grave-sites in MA/ME . . . Just Sayin' . . . :facepalm:


@Shawn Hoefer . . . BTW: "My" Brothers Birthday is today too (except he is much older) . . . :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think I mentioned up-topic that my Pico Dual came in while I was on vacation last week. I ran it through a set of batteries and got about 24 hours vape time on two Samsung 30Q's. The downside is that the body is triangular and isn't a good mod for a jeans pocket carry. It's great for around the house, though.

It's a nice little mod that has virtually the same user interface as the standard Pico, so it was a snap to set up and use. The shape of the body is a great fit in the hand and the fire button naturally falls under your thumb.

For a dual 18650 pocket carry mod the Alien 220W is a good choice. I also get about 24 hours on it from a set of batteries at 10W. The down side (for me) is the 15W minimum in TC mode. It's too hot for a Kayfun at .9 ohms and probably for any atomizer since it's still 15W no matter what your coil resistance happens to be. FWIW, the range in wattage mode is 6W to 220W. You have to wonder why they didn't use the same range for TC mode. I have to use the Alien in wattage mode.

I hope you are enjoying your pico dual! I don't even have the standard single cell pico yet, I'm picking a white/gold accent one on Monday. Along with a Nautilus x which I also haven't tried yet!
I agree though the alien is a very compact mod but I haven't used mine for a few days...
I got given a tarot nano & I've fell in love with it so pretty much been on that everyday! The tank has amazing flavour, I don't normally venture higher than 20 watts but this is okay at 40 watts! The draw isn't too tight.
I get 2 days out of my tesla nano with 30q's but seem to only get a day out of the alien. For some reason the tesla gives me best battery life for a dual battery mod :)

Let's see, a few things planned for this week - biscuits and gravy, French toast, steak, chicken parm and who knows what else. Stuff to throw on the grill. Will have a lot to do with whatever is on sale. Maybe some baking with the kiddos.

Sounds good.

I'm used to your humour by now ;)

Lots of my family I don't see. But we did move across the pond.

That's understandable then isn't it & it's hard not seeing family sometimes but quite a lot of my family have caused me issues! I'm just glad I'm so close to my Mom & Dad :) I love them dearly :D

Thanks but I don't really need any more dual batteries...
I am getting the single cell one cos I don't own any single cell devices an it is perfect to fit in my pocket as a little MTL setup! ;D

I've read mixed reviews on the NautilusX, you might consider Nautilus 2 instead?
