I won this Pico from @GearBest.com and was asked to give my views on it, now after about two weeks of use i think i am ready

I took the Pico in the brushed finish and i am very happy with it. Being so small the Pico is most of the time in my pocket with keys and the finish is holding up very good.

Lets have a look around the mod with the pros and cons

At the top we have the usual 510 with spring loaded brass center pin . The "ring" you see in the middle is were my normal 22mm RTA sits, so if you have anything bigger than that forget about the Pico
On the right of the picture you see the cap for the battery, this small mod takes a 18650 witch is very nice from Eleaf, on a 0.6 ohm coil at 30watt i get just about 16 hours of use, but i have a problem with battery cap, when you have a tank on the mod it can be quit difficult to undo the cap to replace the battery. Lucky the Pico comes with on board charging, but for the most of us we charge batteries in a charger and just swap out.

Here is another shot with my RTA on it and you can see it sits flush on the mod.

Looking at the screen side of the mod.

You get a nice sized power/fire button with nice feed back. Sometime when you grab the mod without looking it can be quit hard to find the button but it is solid without any rattles.

Moving down you get a nice bright and big screen,It gives you all the info you need and with the new firmware, you can make your own logos. When you have a vape the screen stays lit with the battery and coil info for about 5 seconds then it switch to your logo, then about 20 seconds later the screen switch of, i really like that the mod fire from start and there is no click to wake it up first.

Moving to the bottom we get a usb charge port that also doubles and a firmware update port. On windows 10 it had no problem connecting and i did the firmware update without a problem.

The up/down button are situated at the bottom of the mod although it has never gave me problems this is my only problem with this mod. When you rub over the buttons they are loose and just feel cheep, not like the fire button, and the way i hold the mod wile i vape this happens just about every time
On the right side there is nice vent holes for if you battery needs a little air.

Bottom line:
This is a very nice little mod, and with power going up to 75watt it can hold its own
Finish are very good and i am sure it will stand up to the knocks and bumps from everyday use.
If i did not win this from @GearBest.com i would have bought one, i was eyeing one and the competition came around and the vaping gods smiled upon me ;)
Thank you again @GearBest.com for the mod, for now it is my go to mod for time being​

@ Kimbo Thanks for the review. I have the Pico Mega. Very happy with it so far. tried to upload the firmware on my Mac. Struggled, so I gave up for a while.
 
Was out for a week and a bit and the pico stayed home. Had my rx2/3 in 3 battery configuration with me. Coming home to that small, light device took me a bit by surprise again. I have to say well done to eleaf. It is a truly great device and I have no hesitation in recommending it to all who ask.
 
I bought mine a month a go when I stoped with the stinkies... was and still am impressed with it. Size and weight wise its very comfortable so at vapecon I figured I need a bacup device and got another one on special..... In short is so nice I bought it 2ce...
