Dancing i have very bad nearsightedness 20/800 last time i had my eyes checked.

Up close i have the eyes of an eagle. I can actually Read 4 point font but get a keyboard between me and the screen it gets blury. Thats why i use wireless devices.

@kross8 and @DaveP and @Eskie and any others -

OK, for those of you who liked that little Efest Zippered Battery Case (holds 3 x 18650 under the strap, but could put more on top the strap)...I found them for $1.99 each. I ordered 5 of them for friends, and since they offer cheap 1st Class Mail shipping...it was only $2.85 S/H. My total for 5 w/shipping was just $12.80! Can't beat that with a stick. I also tried 2 15mL bottles of eliquid + a couple factory coils in 1 I already have, and they fit fine, in case people may want 1 or 2 for other than batteries. Also just tried something else in 1: Put 1 Nautilus Mini w/drip tip + 1 15mL bottle of eliquid + a couple factory coils in it instead. It fit fine, too.

Just called them, to make sure they had more than just a few left before I posted about them here, and the guy said they have plenty (about 300), so.....

Efest 3 X 18650 battery case
i can actually fit 5 batteries easy in mine,,3 strapped down and 2 stacked (safely) i could do 6 but then it may become a 'pop open & fly out' risk when i open the case.

It it likely? No. Is it possible yes.

I never update until i Absolutely have to
i dont update or change factory stuff,, to me its like looking for problems,,,,,,,'kiss'.

and not meant to be a bash to those people who do tweak their mods.

o/t,, as some know, i chain vape 30mls a day easy,, and much more when watching tv on weekends.. same pico in use for nearly a year. the paint still looks brand new, the mod works great, the screen is 'scuffy' and the read out is slightly less bright. i will let you know when the screen/chip die completely....it will be a good idea of amount of use it can handle.

i have also stock piled a few pico chips over pico mods.. i can connect them or hire a cellphone repair person to install them down the road.

If I may ask, where do you acquire Pico chips? That is a really good idea.

see post above by Fozzy,,

for those of you looking for 'horse power' to make your own mods,, this one appears to be a good deal.

They are not authentics so not sure if they can be updated with eleaf's firmware or not but I have these wish-listed and I believe I got the link from @kross8 - $9.92 iStick Pico 75W Styled TC VW APV Box Mod Control Module - 1-75W / 200-600'F(100-315'C) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

reading the reviews it appears my assumption was correct, can't upgrade the firmware
if we're seeing the Pico for 17.99 I'd say We're not far off from seeing them at 9.99.....Then we hoard :)

The pico has to be one of the best selling mods on the planet. it's hard to beleve they need to be so aggressive on price. I own a few and I'm not done, probably two more to go, the all black version for stealth. May be great deals on Picos drive other business or may be the new colors has killed demand for the original colors.

By the way Trump has picked a guy he wants to run the FDA and he is a Fellow at the Am Ent. Institute and they are on our side. Even if all our dreams come true I'm not trusting the government to let me vape in peace. I'll have a stash no matter what they do but may be it will be a bit smaller.

I'm a trump guy, but still do not trust the FDA, I'm with you.....Hope for the best.....And hoard nonetheless;)

I have 11. Does that qualify me for *hoard* status? :rolleyes: Although if they do start selling at 9.99, I'd buy more. ;)
i have 8 so far, and dont even vape on them anymore myself, yet plan to buy more. I have gifted 4 of them so far, and have 4 more to gift, and plan to stash plenty more for my house mates or others that may need them. I never vape below 75w anymore so I only use dual and triple battery mods myself. I am def hoping to see the price drop more before I decide to stash more of them.

That's the main reason I have so many. I bought several based on comments that a few of my relatives made *pre-new year*. They have the istick 30 I gave them previously but since the new years resolutions didn't stick, I'm keeping the Pico's. At least until I find someone that needs, and will use and appreciate them.

Of course if I do end up giving them away, I'll have to restock. I'd hate to lose my hoard status. :lol:

Okay. The time is upon us. Im getting really worried now.
The high end little firms i like are beginning to close down.:cry:

These are bad times. Ive got until May to raise some cash.
I like nice things and the money i can raise wont go far when tanks i want are so expensive...

Will the Chinese stuff still be available for a long time or is the shop nearly shut?

Is it Pico and TFV8 time already? ;)

Just kidding... Sad, but kidding nonetheless.
