Reviewer comments on business characteristics

The Pico of YellowKiss is a very small atomizer, simple, but with enormous capacities.

Under this featherweight hides a wonderful steam engine. Irreproachable, both on the physical quality and on its quality of rendering.

Easy assembly in single coil, fully insulated room, mini template, master mat design, easy syringe filling, nice steam and good flavors but limited capacity. We could summarize the Pico to that, only miracles, it does not exist and therefore, inevitably, there are disadvantages. But we will see all this.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and felt qualities

It is really a very small size which does not exceed 3cm in height for a record weight of 28gr. And, despite its measurements, it manages to contain just 3ml and to the cleat!

Good news about the joints that are few because there are only three, but they are of excellent quality and appreciable thickness. Which presages a good life without leakage.

The base, the deck and the top-cap are made of 304 steel, a material that has proven itself. The atomization chamber is in peek. Peek is a high-end semi-crystalline plastic material that meets the highest demands in terms of temperature in continuous use (+140 up to + 250 ° C), chemical resistance, slip behavior and wear, radioresistance and fire resistance. These properties allow it to be substituted for metallic materials and it constitutes a very good electrical and thermal insulator.

As much, I do not worry about the threads on the bell and the chimney, so much I am perplexed on that of the tank which is in PMMA because this material, although solid, wears more easily than a steel tank and can also deform. The weather will tell us but, in the immediate future, it is perfect and ensures a good maintenance and impeccable watertightness associated with the seal located on the base.

Overall the quality felt is excellent with beautiful sober engravings, made on the ring of the base of the atomizer, which take its name and, under the atomizer, a logo and a serial number.

The pine, meanwhile is not adjustable, since it is the removable deck that provides this function.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

At the level of the functions, there is only the flow of the liquid which will be slightly variable according to the value of your resistance.

The pine is not adjustable. As for the airflow, although variable, the three holes open, it remains sufficiently aerial but limited, so be careful this atomizer is not made for resistance values ​​too low, the range of value that suits him remains limited between 0.9Ω and 1.8Ω, which still leaves a nice margin.

The deck also acts as a pine under the board and is therefore not adjustable. This deck is removable and will be in place only when you have blocked with the bell that is fixed around the assembly.

The filling is very simple and is done from the top thanks to the four small holes which are hidden when the top-cap is screwed. The space for filling will require a syringe because, even with a thin vial tip, it will be difficult to fill the reservoir.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Drip tip type: 510 Only
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? No, the vapoteur will have to acquire a compatible drip-tip, in order to be able to use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: No drip tip present

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

There is nothing to say about the drip-tip since it is not provided and, as always, I regret that a luxury product is not delivered with the appropriate accessories.

However, the 510 dimension remains a standard and will be suitable for the drip-tip of your choice.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 1.5 / 5 1.5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

It is a luxury product that deserves better, because the packaging that serves as a packaging looks like a vulgar white plastic box so it is used for pills in parapharmacy.

Very disappointed by this packaging that does not deserve the wonder that accompanies it, but you will still find an additional screw (only one), joints and fiber freaks that will be perfect for your montages.

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4.2 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

The use of this atomizer does not offer immense possibilities, since you will have a simple coil to perform with a basic resistive wire kanthal, stainless steel, nickel or other because on the pads, it is around tightening screw that will fix your legs.

The airflow remains sufficient for a moderately aerial vape, but nevertheless very pleasant. The flow of liquid is managed, with a small margin, by screwing the chimney on the bell. Indeed, the bell has two notches through which to insert the wick. Depending on the resistance achieved, the lower the value the more the wick will need liquid to imbibe, so do not screw too much the cap of the chimney on the bell and conversely with a resistance of about 1.5Ω.

 

bell-mounting

I advise you to leave enough long wicks outside the room to fully enjoy your 3ml tank.

During the test, I was pleasantly surprised by the rather dense steam for a resistance of 1Ω to 18W. The flavors are also present and very pleasant for an atomizer of such a small size.

Its size also allows it to constitute a superb very compact set-up with a mechanical mod equipped with an accumulator 18350 since it is not very greedy in energy, nor in liquid (assembly obliges).

By cons, for the filling, there will be no choice, the syringe is necessary and to access the assembly, you will empty your tank.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

As I said in the introduction, the Pico is a wonderful atomizer which, if it does not only have advantages, presents an exceptional rendering.

However airflow well air remains limited open to the maximum, which does not allow to build resistance too low under pain of current dry hit. On the other hand, above 0.9 Ω, the airflow and the flow rate of the liquid match perfectly without a drop of ooze. No escape, no gurgling, no dry hit, comfort of vape rarely achieved for a nice steam and really good flavors.

The physical quality is also there with a bell and a chimney in peek which insulates as much from a short circuit as from heat. However, I have some reservations in the long term, concerning the PMMA tank because, from experience, the threads on this kind of material tend to no longer hold correctly. But this last remark is only hypothetical.

I also regret that for a luxury product, an additional tank with a drip-tip is not provided in a box worthy of its prestige.
