At my settings, 400 degrees and 30 max watts I get 400 seconds on the puff timer. My vtc mini goes about 1,000 seconds of puff time with the identical rda, build and settings. The vtc mini with a 3000 mah hg2 lasts me nearly all day. For practical purposes a Pico in a silicone sleeve is about as stealthy as the basic for me. There are a lot of great vaping products on the market. This is one of them if you need something tiny and can live with the shorter run time.

This is my favorite mod, the one I prefer to be carrying all the time. I have a good job, can afford any mod I want. This is the one I want. Be careful about buying your first one. It might become your favorite.

With a smaller atomizer like the SV rda clone this makes a very compact rig, comparable to the original egrip. The TC works fine. I run it at the identical settings as my vtc mini. The Pico is a joy for pocket carry. The handling experience is improved with a silicone sleeve, which is true for most every mod I've used including the vtc mini. The vtc mini is a little easier to handle because it is taller but that also makes it less easy in a pocket. I expect to be buying some extra mods because of government interference here in the US. I'll be getting a couple each of both picos and vtc mini's. Both have their points. At these prices you might as well own both. If I had to choose one it would be the vtc mini by a hair because of the puff counter and timer but the small size of the Pico is really nice when being discrete matters.

I've been using mostly Picos in a silicone sleeve since they were available on FT. For me it's the best formfactor to this day. If you're a life long vaper there should be one in your collection. If you like it you'll probably want several.

This appears to be a competent device. Resistance reading appears to be accurate. Everything seems to be as it should be. Someone would have to tell me what you get by paying for a more expensive one.
