Backup mod for istick pico

[smipx]

Hi All,

I have an istick pico (and loving it) but I wanted to buy an even more inexpensive mod that takes the 18650 batteries as a backup in case the pico goes south.

I only really vape at between 8 and 12W with a 1-1.5ohm coil (in a Kayfun mini v3 clone - i have 2) MTL.

I don't need anyting that goes over say 30W and only really need VW.

Are there any uber cheap but usable mods that can be recommended. It will not be my all day vape kit - like I said it will only be a backup (as my ego batteries and EVOD spares are now at the end of their life).

thanks
Paul

another pico ??? i never go out without 2 picos much better than carrying spare batteries

@casey jones beat me to it. Exactly what I carry when I go out - two Pico mods. Have six small Picos and two Pico Megas. Cheap as anything from China. Cigabuy seem most reliable and cost effective.

Ha ha, I guess I asked for that........ Cigabuy is an interesting site. I usually use FT. Is Cigabuy as (or more) reliable than FT??? He laughs at the prospect of using the words FT and reliable in the same sentence :-)
Also, I was thinking an alternative brand just in case the Pico turns out to be less than reliable (as I have read that some older eleaf kit has been a bit suspect). Still $20.54 for an all black one from Cigabuy seems pretty tempting.

I was toying with the idea of an "Authentic Joyetech eVic VTwo Mini" at $27

Bought my first and third Picos from FT, the second and subsequent from Cigabuy. I like Cigabuy, more limited range of goods but efficient and like the reward points. I've found better prices for mods overall on Cigabuy but overall buy much more from FT for other things. Depends on what people are looking for of course. Always a postage charge on Cigabuy to add on but still a better deal for Picos than FT last time I looked.
