I just received a new istick pico tc 75w and it's my first sub ohm setup. I have a few 18650 batts that I use in my vamo2 and my mvp3. Everything I have is dying so I picked up an Endura t22 and can't stand not being able to adjust anything and the vape is way too hot so I got the pico and stupidly tried my eastshine 18650s without checking discharge rate. Luckily they are way too big anyway and only 4A discharge. They aren't even close to fitting the pico at 69.3mm with a protection board. What's the max battery size?? I want something quick so is liion wholesale OK?​

Yes liion is great, you need a 18650 battery. Check out Mooch's chart to see which ones he recommends.

This is a good one.
Samsung 25R 18650 20A Flat Top 2500mAh Battery - Genuine - Wholesale Discount

So is this one.
Samsung INR18650-30Q 15A 3000mAh Flat Top 18650 Battery - Genuine - Wholesale Discount

The Lg is sold out.

you will find the link for the charts in the signature line of Mooch.......^^

The button top batteries may be to big.

okay. I just ordered two of the 15A samsungs sugar_and_spice recommended for my flashlights, and three of the samsung 20A for my pico, both flat top versions. All the ones I currently have are button tops with protection circuits so they are pushing the limits of length.

You don't need nor should you use "protected" batteries in a regulated battery device. It has its own protection circuitry. You should only use unprotected "high drain" batteries. (as opposed to "high capacity" batteries)

Thanks. Ya I do know that. Only reason I'm using them is I had them for some flashlights and they also worked safely in my ancient ecigs. I totally forgot they were even protected I had them so long and I didn't realize the discharge was that low or I wouldn't have even tried in the pico. I don't even need the protected batts in some of my lights that have built in protection but they work.
