iStick Pico styling and build quality
The most obvious thing about this device is the size. It really is incredibly small so would be ideal for people who are fed up with bulky mods or if they simply need something discrete to carry around with them. You can easily fit this device in the pocket of your jeans!
The form factor is superb and it is incredibly comfortable to use due to its lovely rounded edges. The device feels very well put together and it is quite durable.
The 510 pin is spring-loaded and has stainless steel threading. I had absolutely no issues at all getting atomizers to sit flush with this device. The battery compartment is quite unique and to get access to it you need to unscrew the cap on the top of the mod. Then you simply put in a battery - positive side down - before screwing the cap back on. Venting is provided by eight holes in the base of the device.
The screen is both bright and clear with all the typical information you would expect being clearly shown: Resistance, Voltage and Wattage/Temperature. In addition battery life and wire type are also displayed.
Located on the front of the device is the main fire button which is very responsive and it has a nice soft feel to it. Also located on the front of the device at the bottom is the Micro USB port. Eleaf do advise that you charge the battery externally due to the fact that it will be faster but if you don’t own an external charger you can still charge it via the USB. You can also receive firmware updates from Eleaf via the Micro USB port.
On the base of the device you will find the plus and minus adjustment buttons and while they are perhaps a little small they are nicely recessed so the mod remains upright when put down.
The Pico allows you to fire your atomizers as high as 75 watts. The device offers Variable Wattage mode and Temperature Control mode. All major wire types are supported in Temperature Control so you can use Nickel, Titanium and Stainless Steel. In addition the Pico also has a TCR (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) mode that allows you to fine tune your settings. From what I have read the chip in the Pico is the same Joyetech one used in the Wismec RX200 and Vape Forward Vapor Flask.
