Review of Eleaf iStick Pico 2 Kit

Statistics show that more than half of vapers are not in a hurry to put their box mods, tanks and drip tanks on the shelf, preferring sub-mods and POD systems. Although, to be honest, many vapers have compact devices for going out – in order not to attract much attention on the street, releasing large clouds of vapor. In the light of such development of the vape market, many manufacturers try to take advantage of the former glory and refine the already popular devices, adapting them to the modern requirements of vapers. This is exactly what Eleaf did, one of the most popular devices of which is the iStick Pico (despite the fact that the model is already 4 years old, it is still in demand), so the updated Eleaf iStick Pico 2 Kit was presented.

General data

Eleaf iStick Pico 2 Kit is a compact starter kit consisting of the Stick Pico 2 box mod, powered by an 18650 battery and controlled by a proprietary chipset, and the Gzeno S Tank atomizer, designed to use GZ series vaporizers. The design of the box mod is very similar to the first version, but it is more ergonomic and stylish due to rounded edges and convenient control keys. The battery is a traditional 18650, the chip is designed for two modes of operation, which is enough for most vapers. The Gzeno S tank is a fairly standard untreated tank, designed to install a GZ series vaporizer, thanks to which the vaper will get good flavor and bulk. The Eleaf iStick Pico 2 Kit is available in three colors: gun metal, steel and rose gold.

iStick Pico Device Box Mod

Eleaf has been working in the vape market since 2008, so it can be safely called one of the old-timers. During this time, there were a lot of interesting devices that were hits. But the undoubted sales leader can be considered a mod iStick Pico compact, practical, simple. The fact that the company decided to update this popular device, releasing Eleaf iStick Pico 2 Kit, is quite logical and justified such a box mod will be a boon for many fans of the company’s products.

The form factor of the Eleaf iStick Pico 2 Kit is quite traditional, familiar from the previously released versions of the iStick Pico. It is a small mod (108.5*50*27.5 mm), with top mounting under a screw cap. The design of the device is characterized by ergonomics with rounded edges and corners, making it comfortable and pleasant to hold in your hand. Due to the fact that Eleaf iStick Pico 2 Kit is made of metal and plastic, its weight is about 190 grams.

The maximum power of Eleaf iStick Pico 2 Kit is quite standard 75 watts, and it is provided by a traditional 18650 battery installed on top, under the usual screw cap for devices of this series. If necessary, you can charge the battery with 2A current using the USB Type-C connector located under the +/- buttons.

Eleaf iStick Pico 2 Kit operates under the control of a proprietary chipset, which is able to work in two modes: Varivatt with manual power setting and Smart with automatic selection of optimal power depending on the resistance of the coil. The manufacturer claims that the mod is able to work with spirals with resistance from 0.05 ohm, but such data seems doubtful. The device is equipped with a small display, on which the vaper will find a standard set of data about the device operation.

Gzeno S Tank Atomizer

The Gzeno S Tank atomizer that Eleaf iStick Pico 2 Kit is equipped with won’t really surprise vapers, as it’s a pretty standard tank that is designed to use interchangeable vaporizers. The tank utilizes a traditional 510 two-piece (metal and Ultem) drip tip, which can be replaced if desired.

The Gzeno S Tank atomizer uses GZ series vaporizers, which are currently available in three 0.4 ohm (for free puffing), 0.8 and 1.2 ohm (for MTL), the first two of which are included in the kit.

The blowing is adjustable by means of a ring at the base of the tank, with one wide opening on one side for DTL puffing and five small openings on the other side for tight cigarette puffing.

To refill the tank, simply unscrew the top cap and pour 4 ml of liquid into two rather large openings. In the childproof version, to refill the tank, press the small button and slide the top cap in a straight line, then pour 3 ml of liquid.
