Simple and quiet operation.

Good day, all comrades!

The Eleaf Pico Mod Kit also includes a smaller tank - the MELO III Mini. The bundle turned out to be really very compact.

The kit came to me from the Heaven Gifts store in the version: 75W Eleaf iStick Pico TC Full Kit W / O Battery.

The delivery set includes: box mod, tank with two sets of spare O-rings (white and pink) and two replaceable
evaporators (0.3 Ohm 30-80W and 0.5 Ohm 30-100W). There are also detailed instructions and a micro-USB cable for charging and firmware.
On the box there is a scratch code to check originality. (18650 battery is not included and needs to be purchased separately).

A black version of the Eleaf Pico Mod Kit came to me. The bundle looks very pretty.

The set is available in 5 variations: white, silver, pink, gray and black. The tank is always made of steel. Only the color of the rings changes.

In spite of small size The Pico features a replaceable 18650 battery and some of the most advanced features available today.

The kit comes with a shortened version of the new Eleaf MELO III tank with a convenient top fill and good features.

The tank looks good. Steel drip tip with delrin spacer (will not heat up), on 2 O-rings. Keeps confidently.

It is convenient to unscrew the lid. When refueling, there is no effect of squeezing out the liquid. In the shaft there is a cone-shaped recess for condensate drainage.

I am glad that the tank is fully compatible with the Aspire Atlantis, Eleaf iJust and MELO series evaporators. You can also purchase ECR Head service.

The tank can be disassembled, washed, rings and glass can be replaced. When replacing the head, the fluid does not need to be drained. The filling is very convenient, the volume is 2 ml.

Airflow adjustment from tight cigarette to free, ring with stoppers, walks moderately tight - everything is fine. Fence holes with two
sides, outwardly not visible (go up into the gap between the base and the tank). The positive pin is floating (be careful on hybrid mech mods).

Tank size comparison: Kanger Toptank Mini, Joyetech eGo One Mega, Eleaf Eleaf MELO III Mini, Aspire Cleito and Eleaf iJust2.

There are no comments on the design of the tank. As for a maintenance-free tank, it works great, it is sharpened more for a free tightening
straight to the lungs, steam and flavor are enough. Only the volume is upsetting: 2 ml is not enough for such capacities, although the refueling is very convenient.

Eleaf Pico Mod Kit appearance. The stainless steel tank goes well with the stainless steel cover of the mod's battery compartment.

Boxmod has excellent characteristics, modern functionality and the ability to update the firmware. In addition to varivatt and individual
temperature control modes for nickel, titanium and stainless steel, there are custom modes M1, M2, M3 and mech mode (Bypass).

The screen is the same as for all other iSticks, only new modes have been added. Closed with semicircular plastic, slightly shifted to the side.

Management is extremely simple and convenient. All the necessary information is always on the screen (goes out after 30 seconds). Standard on / off - 5 quick clicks. It turns on almost instantly without a logo and boot process.

Entering the menu for changing modes - 3 quick presses of the Fire button. Mode selection with "+" / "-" buttons: varivatt, mechmod, TC on nickel, titanium, stainless steel and TCR M1, M2, M3 for temperature control on other materials.

The selected parameter changes in increments of 0.1 for Watt, in increments of 5 for Celsius and 10 for Fahrenheit. While holding down the key, the parameter continues to change automatically at an increasing rate. Auto-iteration is implemented competently, it is convenient to use. After the minimum or maximum value, the enumeration stops, when pressed again, the degrees Fahrenheit change to degrees Celsius and vice versa.

There is a lock against changing the selected power - press the "+" and "-" buttons together for 2 seconds. In this case, the mod works, but does not respond to pressing the "+" and "-" buttons (Key Lock indication) until unlocked (in the same way).

There is a well-implemented stealth mode - press the Fire and "-" buttons together for 2 seconds. When hovering, the screen does not light up (excess battery energy is not consumed), and when necessary, you can see everything: when you change the settings, it turns on. And even if you do not change the settings, but just want to see information (for example, how much battery power is left), then it is elementary to do it - one quick press of the Fire button and the information on the screen. This stealth mode can actually be used continuously and without any inconvenience. It can also be used in conjunction with change lock.

When "tightening" on the screen, the information dynamically changes. In the TC modes, the current value of power and temperature is displayed, and in the Varivatt and Mech mod modes - the power value and tightening time in seconds with tenths. After releasing the button, the screen returns to normal and after 30 seconds it goes out. Cutoff 10 sec.

Everything possible types protections are present. The board is very responsive (there is no sleep or lag), turns off and on instantly (without the "boot process" that is present in many most other mods).

For convenience, I compiled a table: temperature coefficients of resistance for various materials:

To change the TCR values ​​- in the off state, hold down (for 5-6 sec) Fire and "+", three custom TCRs are available - M1, M2, M3.
Change the TCR mode / value with the "+" / "-" buttons. Switching from the selection of modes to changing the TCR and vice versa - the Fire button.

Blocking of resistance (a lock appears) in TC modes (hold down the "+" and Fire buttons for 2 seconds).

Changing the maximum power for the TC modes - entering the menu 4 quick presses of the Fire button, adjusting with the "+" / "-" buttons.

Look at the voltage on the battery - in the off state, hold down Fire and "-".

View the temperature inside the mod - 10 quick clicks of Fire from the off state.

View the firmware version - 20 quick clicks of Fire from the off state.

Turn the screen "from right to left" - in the off state, hold down "+" and "-".

There are no complaints about the electronics of the mod. The board is just exemplary. She is nimble, powerful and honest. Resistance measurement is accurate.
No lagging or falling asleep, clean, flat linear response even in low mode. Large output range
voltage, power and supported resistances. Excellent temperature control and the ability to independently
set TCR values, which allows you to use a lot of materials. For maximum power of 75 watts
you need to use windings in the range: 0.12 - 1.08 ohm. (Maximum output current 25A and maximum voltage 9V).

The set is very compact and lightweight, you can carry it in your pocket. Great option on the way out, in the summer it will be especially important.

By moving the battery cover outwards, the height has been reduced. I also had to place the buttons on the bottom, which is a bit unusual.

But the box mod turned out to be really record-breaking small in height. It is very comfortable in the hand, no complaints.

Steel connector and spring loaded positive pin. The connector platform is flush with the cover. I am glad that we have finally got rid of the chrome on the top and bottom covers. Now the coating is "stainless steel".

Atoms with a width of less than 23 mm in the lower part are installed on the box mod. Larger ones can be wound only through
radiator spacer. But it doesn't make much sense either. With such a small mod, these large atoms will not visually combine.

It's a bit unusual at once that the "+" / "-" buttons are located at the bottom, but they do not protrude and are not pressed by themselves. The buttons themselves are comfortable and quiet.

The mod has a built-in charger with a common micro-USB connector, you can use it while charging (passstra function). The charging connector is located in the correct location. During charging, the level indicator flashes and turns off when fully charged. Full charge time from the 5V / 1A adapter is about 3-4 hours (depends on the battery capacity). Charging works neatly (control measurement showed 4.19 V). You can also update the firmware. The firmware will be on the company's website, while there are no new firmwares.

Steel cover. There are grooves for easy unscrewing. The threads are large. If you screw it tight, you have to remove the atom to unscrew it.

There are icons for the correct polarity of the battery installation. The positive contact is spring-loaded. All is well, no complaints.

The black coating is excellent (not like paint, but some kind of plastic coating, like in the 20's iSticks, but more rough).

I have this 20 (from the first batches) for a year and a half and have not yet peeled off. Non-slip and non-staining. I don’t know how it will be on other colors.

Comparison of type and size: Eleaf iStick Pico 75W, UD BALROG 70W TC, Joyetech eVic-VTC Mini 75W and Wismec Presa TC 75W.

As you can see, the Eleaf iStick Pico 75W really has a record low height among mods with a replaceable 18650 battery.

Small vaporizers and devices look great on the box mod standard width 22 mm. Base protruding elements
screw-on evaporator must be no more than 23 mm in diameter, otherwise they will rest against the battery cover.

Niggles and cons of the Eleaf iStick Pico 75W Kit

I must say right away that I really liked the box mod and there are no critical minuses or shortcomings in it, there are only small remarks:

- The complete Eleaf MELO III Mini tank has a small volume of 2 ml, which is very small for such capacities. The disadvantage is partially compensated by the very convenient top filling.

- Due to the protruding cover of the battery compartment, atoms with a width at the bottom of no more than 23 mm are installed on the box mod. The wider ones can be screwed only through the radiator spacer. For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that there is not much point in using such large atoms. Large atoms will not visually combine with such a small mod.

- Also for the minimum height of the case, the developers had to place the "+" / "-" buttons on the bottom of the case, which will be unusual and less convenient to use.

- Alex from VapersMD in his review: iStick Pico & Melo III mini by Eleaf, the little monster also points out that some tanks with a long connector are screwed in with a small gap, the glass of the screen loosens a little and the case is not well docked everywhere. There are no such jambs in my copy. The subtank is wound up normally, the glass does not wobble and the body fits perfectly. Perhaps this is due to the fact that he has a review sample (I already have a regular serial copy), perhaps just a lottery, as is usually the case. IMHO, in any case, for the money that this box mod costs - it's just great.

Pros and cons of the Eleaf iStick Pico 75W Kit

Super compact and lightweight device. Convenient to wear and convenient to use.

Screen and controls familiar to iStick users. Convenient and quiet Fire button.

Simply exemplary electronics. Fast, honest, powerful and highly functional. No delays or falling asleep, linear response even in low-down mode. Good temperature control and the ability to independently set TCR values, which allows a wide range of materials to be used. Excellent autonomy (control measurement of a discharged battery showed 3.11 V).

ATTENTION: using the box mod with high output power is possible only on high-quality high-current batteries (for example: Sony VTC4, Sony VTC5, LG HE2, LG HE4, LG HG2, Samsung R25, Samsung 30Q).

Possibility of blocking against power changes, thoughtful stealth mode, screen rotation.

Firmware upgradeable. With new firmware, the work of the mod can be improved and support for new functions can be added.

Despite its compactness, the mod has a replaceable 18650 battery. Nice implementation of battery swap.

There is also a built-in charger. Support for the passstra function (the ability to use while charging). Charging works neatly (control measurement showed 4.19 V).

Wear-resistant steel connector and spring-loaded positive pin.

The complete MELO III Mini tank works well, has a convenient top filling and is compatible with common replaceable evaporators of the Aspire Atlantis, Eleaf iJust and MELO series, etc. You can also buy a serviced ECR Head base for it.

Great price for such a modern and functional box mod.

SUMMARY:

Eleaf has once again managed to release an undoubted hit and ask new fashion in the industry, hat off.
I myself have been expecting such a small and lightweight device with a replaceable 18650 battery for a long time. This will be especially relevant in the summer, when the clothes are light and it is simply impossible to wear something large and heavy in it. I recommend it for purchase.

The element is made from metal and glass. The clearomizer has a fully collapsible design. If necessary, you can replace its connector or glass.

The main feature of the Eleaf 3 Melo Clearomizer is the top-fill liquid filling. For these purposes, the lid is removed, after which the aromatic substance fills the tank, flowing down the walls. In this case, there is no need to detach the element from the body of the electronic cigarette.

Another point is the presence of holes invisible to the eye, with the help of which the tightening force is adjusted. They are hidden under a special ring. Its rotation leads to a decrease or increase in thrust. There is no designation here. For this reason, you have to adjust the parameter, focusing on your own feelings.
