Eleaf iStick Pico 75W TC E Cigarette Starter Kit
The Eleaf iStick Pico 75W series now consists of a large range of products and over the last years has generally developed a positive reputation for reliable E cigarettes with easy operation and good performance. The iStick Pico 75W E cigarette is the latest model of this series and comes in the E cigarette starter kit presented here in combination with the Melo 3 Mini sub-ohm tank.
As is already familiar with the other Ecigarettes of the iStick series, the iStick Pico's outstanding features are its compact design and ease-of-use. The small Melo 3 Mini rounds off this E cigarette starter kit perfectly and you get with this starter kit an extremely handy and light E cigarette. However, do not make the mistake and close the size to the power of this device because, in collaboration with Jay Bo Designs, Eleaf has succeeded in combining the shape factor and the performance of the E cigarette perfectly and at a fair price of just under 50 EUR.
Eleaf iStick Pico 75 TC E Cigarette Starter Kit: Processing and technical data
The first thing you notice about the Eleaf iStick Pico 75W is its size. It is clear that the compactness of the E cigarette was the most important goal of the designers, even if a few cuts had to be made elsewhere. For example, the battery carrier itself is shorter than the 18650 battery provided for the iStick Pico. In order to accommodate this, the rechargeable battery has been lengthened somewhat, which some users may find somewhat unattractive. What was much more disturbing for us was the + and - keys for operating the option menu of the E cigarette. Due to the tiny size and the resulting lack of space, the control buttons unfortunately could not find any space near the display and were mounted on the underside of the E cigarette, which we found very unfortunate (but this is perhaps as soon as you get used to it) .
The technical data of the E cigarette are nothing special and mostly standard. The iStick Pico has three different modes: variable watt mode, variable temperature mode and a bridging mode. In the variable watt mode, values 
between 1W and 75W are available with a maximum resistance of 3.5 Ohm. The temperature mode of this E cigarette achieves temperature values between 100 ° C and 315 ° C with resistances between 0.5 Ohm and 1.5 Ohm. All nickel (Ni200), titanium and stainless steel coils are supported. The Melo 3 Mini sub-ohm tank is an ideal choice to meet the goal of developing the most compact E cigarette possible. The Melo 3 Mini has a normal E cigarette diameter of 22mm and fits on a standard 510-thread, but is significantly shorter than most sub-ohm tanks. As in the case of the rechargeable battery, this is cut back because the Melo 3 Mini has a tank capacity of only 2ml. The coils of the Melo 3 Mini are, however, identical to those of his big brother and the performance is accordingly unchanged, but more on that later. In the starter kit the E cigarette tank is supplied with a 0.5 Ohm and a 0.3 Ohm Coil.
Eleaf iStick Pico 75W TC E Cigarette Starter Kit: Taste and Vaper power
When we finally tested the Eleaf iStick Pico E cigarette in practice, we were really very positively surprised. At first glance, this tiny E cigarette looks more like a toy than a serious steam device, but the Pico is definitely in itself. We started the iStick Pico with the supplied 0.3 Ohm Coil and in the upper watt range. The result was a surprisingly full and clear taste and adequate vapor development of the E cigarette. After some time, the Melo 3 Mini Tank was a bit warm but the Pico Battery itself remained pleasantly cool. A bit unfortunate is that the scope of delivery includes only two Kanthal coils, which are unsuitable for the temperature mode. In order to use this E cigarette starter kit in the temperature mode and to be able to taste it in full, the separate purchase of a suitable coil is necessary, unless you already own coils of another Melo or Aspire Atlantis tank. Because these are compatible with the Melo 3 Mini. We enjoyed the vapor with the iStick Pico E cigarette and would equate the performance with other E cigarettes in the mid-watt range. These are comparatively but significantly larger.
Our conclusion
The Eleaf iStick Pico 75W TC E cigarette together with the Melo 3 Mini sub-ohm tank is an ideal combination and offers an outstanding vapor performance in relation to its size. This E cigarette starter kit will find its place even on a now saturated market. A few possible criticisms result above all from this compactness, such as the slightly protruding battery and the control buttons unfavorably at the bottom of the E cigarette.
The same is true for the Melo 3 Mini, which, while technically equal to the original Melo 3, has to be replenished with the smaller capacity of only 2 ml. The different operating modes work very precisely and reliably, as usual with Eleaf's iSticks E cigarettes, but you have to purchase a coil compatible for the temperature mode separately. The iStick Pico is recommended for all steamers with a small and light yet powerful E cigarette at a reasonable price of just under 50 EUR.
