Well my second eVic VTC mini is aging ... and I should probably replace. I really like it, despite having to frequently re-glue the magnets of the battery cover and the paint is badly worn, but is the iStick Pico better??? Anyone care to comment or compare Eleaf iStick Pico 75W vs eVic VTC Mini 75W ? ... or maybe there's another 18650 mod I should consider? (Typically I vape at 20-25W, and like replaceable batteries ... I just use one device with a RDA as I don't have a collection of devices. Value is also important) Thanks in advance

evic feels alot more sturdy, the pico is very light weight and feels flimsy, that being said the pico is still a good mod, evic has a better display and board is more accurate i found, unsure on what other mods to reccomend

Thanks geordie_vaper , good to know that the Pico seems to be on the lightweight/flimsy side of things..... I'm tempted also by the Therion DNA75..... just not the price, it's a bit too rich for me at the moment

If you're after a DNA75 i have nothing but good things to say about the Hotcig DX75 Smallest DNA75 i've seen, takes a single 26650 or a single 18650, solid as a rock and the only sign of wear on mine which gets constant use is the paint has worn off of the hex screws there's not a scratch on the actual body. Next to the Evic VTC Mini FT have them for $70.99 if you use coupon code MAP at checkout. All BlackBlack/GreyThey have silicone skins too if you want one. Use the dropdown menu to pick colour.

I love my pico's as for not sturdy my work one has been dropped and generally mistreated since they first came out and never missed a beat. I would say its one the the better built mods i have used. The only down i could see is if you use tanks bigger than 22mm as they won't fit unless you use a heatsink to raise the tank up above the batt cap.

My pico...and 3 pico squeezes are brilliant. They are well built for sure...they are light as hell and that might give illusion that they not built well?

Thanks for all your comments, suggestions and links ... much appreciated. I have reluctantly accepted Lynne77's very generous offer of another eVic mini.... she kindly wouldn't even accept postage for it The generosity of some forum members is amazing.

Some amazing prices... how do they make them so cheap! Re. backups.... I still have thousands of Riva batteries from when I was a vendor , ... so if catastrophe strikes, I could always still have "a vape" until repair/replacement is initiated (which is the main thing).
