Btw. Anyone elses pico been like mine as in the metal coating coming off on the fire button and the rim to reveal a red copper colour? Didnt expect mine to but has.
no, I thought it was a solid stainless steel button.. some of the coating has rubbed off the side thou.

On the subject of charging via mods.. I mainly charge my batteries with a charger, a good charger cost around 20-30 pounds and can extend the life of batteries. Most onboard charging from mods are like 0.25-0.5 amps, while I charge my batteries at 1 amp.
If you're taking the batteries out of swap the order, like you should be in a multiple battery configuration setup, you might as well charge them at the same time.
My pattern is quite simple, I have two batteries that I use to swap around in the mod that I'm using for the day. Once one is flat, I swap it for the other; when I get home I charge the one that is flat ready for the next day, a battery last me about a day. Them two batteries get replaced around 7-9 months for a new pair as they take a beating.
Of course I have a few batteries that are dedicated a mods, if they are a PITA to swap out, if I use that mod everyday, or if they are not 18650s mod.
I have two pairs of 18650s too, one pair for series and one pair for parallel, they get replaced with a new set if and when needed.
I also have a set of three married batteries for triple batteries mods.

I got the pico squeeze, conqueror mini and mage GTA today, I wanted to use the squeeze with my hobo v3, to use as a beater but the 510 is too long for it to sit on the mod correctly so I think I might have to look for another bf dripper.
The conqueror mini is a PITA to coil, but it vapes really really well, very impressed by the vape. The threads are pants but so was the threads on my serpent mini till they warn in.
Mage GTA is meh, i wanted a cheap coil top atty as beater, I really like the origennies but this designed for a single massive wire coil, making it a PITA to build again.
I normally find building quite a relaxing and claming process but I was close to losing my rag with the two atties, but I haven't built a tank in quite a while as I've mainly been using bf drippers.
