Lol!!! So basically I just need to buy everything in the shop....just in case of disasters??? lol, honestly we always used to say have a backup for your backup, but kit is more reliable these days, but anything can get lost, stolen, fail or break so one backup set is more an essential than a luxury IMO. I thought this vaping thing was supposed to save me money lol!! |

If you can get along to the Edinburgh meet lesley1 , we'll get you sorted and you can ask as many questions as you like over a few drinks of your choice. We've had to cancel the one in February but we should be back to normal the first Saturday in March (4th). We'll post to confirm and tag you so you'll know when and where. If you decide to join us, I can pick you up at the train/bus station then head for the pub. Yay :-) Seriously I will be a complete donut!! Do they do cake with the drinks??? I like cake |

Oooh lesley1 was that for the Pico? Don't be surprised if you are refunded when they return from holiday as they are not allowed to ship Eleaf products to the UK, some get through their system but others are stopped and refunded. Come back on here if they offer you a partial refund or points in your account instead and we will help you though it. Fasttech is far easier to order from and can ship any brand of item they want. Literally just pennies more expensive but a far better experience than GearWorst as they are known in some places, they were kicked off here for breaking one too many rules unfortunately. Just my luck :-( I will check out Fasttech just incase. I wasn't aware the UK was banned. It's a minefield out here!! |

It is future proofing, but IMO the value as a backup is greater, if your iStick failed and you couldn't get a replacement that day/night you may get tempted to smoke  1st rule of vaping: whatever works for YOU is the right solution 2nd rule of vaping: always have a backup 3rd rule of vaping: have a backup for the backup 4th rule of vaping: no such thing as a silly question Lol!!! So basically I just need to buy everything in the shop....just in case of disasters??? |

You'll be sick of the sound of me soon lol No we won't, We all had to learn at some point in our vaping adventures so we all had to ask for help so if we can help others we will. That is the great thing about this forum the members are so welcoming and willing to help each other out if they can. They are indeed😊 No one has made me feel stupid at all even if I'm feeling it lol |

lesley1 As the Pico only takes 1 battery, you will be able to charge it using the USB once the battery is installed (positive end down). Lol have you met me before?? Positive end down indeed 😝 |

You won't necessarily neeed a charger, you can recharge the battery via the usb port (but it is quite slow). If you didn't get a new tank, use the same watts with your exiting one as you did before. Though it has many more features you probably won't use, it is 'armagedon proof'. Your old iStick will be ready for the bin once the battery has had it after a few years, with the pico, the body should last indefinitely, so long as you ahve a supply of new 18650 batteries. I wonder how "future proofing" will go down at the bank lol! This is a bad place making me buy things!!!! I have no self control 😞 |

It has a Melo III. I will this time read all the instructions. And stock up on batteries 😏 |
