reddit.comPico. I've seen less issues on here with pico and that's been out much longer.

U should get this honestly while u can. wismec
It’s two batteries and a very popular mod around here

Rim C imo. Unless you just like the shape of the pico

How long have you had yours? Mine has been nothing but issues.

VooPoo drag 1 if your budget allows for it and if you’re able to find one as well. HVT has them for sale I believe. I use the Drag 1 for my DTV4 and Sai

Why 1 over 2... ?

Ditto, something with the chip maybe?

2 has upgraded chip... curious if objective reason or personal bias

Balancing reasons when using the posiden for the Sai. But also the build quality on the 1 is better than the two. The 1 is heavier and feels like it was a better quality.

Cause there’s balancing issues with the 2 when you use the sai posiden. Also the build quality on the 1 is better than the 2. That’s the general consensus at least.

definitely the pico, Rim C gave me nothing but issues and I don’t see any value in spending more on it than the pico. Usb-c is cool but useless, the screen is just as small, and you won’t need the additional 5W.
If you’re looking outside of eleaf products, I love love love the Wismec p80.

I have had my Rim C for around a month and after solving the initial problem I had of getting the correct Arctic Fox version installed it has served me very well, enough so that I gave away my Voopoo Drag 2 I got around the same time ( I got good deals for both online) as once I honed in on my AF settings I did not want to use other software. My Rim C heats up my quartz bucket to 500f in 7-8 seconds from cold and the reheat is usually 3-5 seconds which is very close to my Ti bucket.
When I got my mod I had the opportunity to try a bunch of different models at once from the group purchase. I was worried about the Eleaf Rim C at first because of some user reviews but load on the right AF version and you should be set.

I’m getting rim c in a day or two. Can you point me in the best direction as far as set up and stuff. I am completely new to all of this. Thanks!

Once it arrives send me a pm and I can help you out or send you my Arctic Fox settings.

If you are up for it, it might be worth preserving the info about the version you used and any helpful setup info here for posterity. Or even write up a guide. I was considering getting the DTV4 kit, which comes with this mod, and I'm really interested in loading AF. I'm pretty noobish though (only have a Yocan EP XL right now, using the EP QDCs), so I'm not sure I'm ready to take on a firmware mod just yet. The idea is super exciting though, and I'd like to have that option later. If you got it to work with a device that isn't officially supported, I think that's certainly knowledge worth sharing and, for me, saving for later.

Get the Pico. Just get the Pico and trust me on this. I repeat, GET THE PICO!
GET THE PICO.
THIS IS A PSA TO GET THE PICO!
The details will reveal themself very soon!

Brother, do yourself a favour and get the pico 75 w. Or if you got some extra cash grab a dual battery like a gen 3 (I think from wismec?) I’ve seen a few problem posts regarding the rim c and installing AF or just other problems in general, where as the pico 75 w is well tested! I run my sai taf and my DTV4 off of my pico 75w and she runs beauty with AF. Couldn’t be happier after wasting my money on crappy pens for some time
Currently I have DTV4 w 75w and know that AF is like a OP for the box mod. I don't have a computer I could actually put AF on the mod with (no windows) ; how necessary is it?
Depends what mod you’re running without I think. The divine tribe settings I’m using are available without AF, however I have to used AF for my sai taf as I got best results that way
Thanks for the response! How long does the pico battery last you on an average day?
Not a problem! And honestly I like to regulate my consumption so I usually only vape in the evenings. It all depends on how much you use it, but I can sometimes go 3 days without needing to swap the battery out, or on heavier days where I’m vaping from say lunch time-until bed one battery would last that time, and then the next day I’ll need to swap in a fresh battery. What I do is a bought a proper Nitecore battery charger, and 2 other 18650’s, I now never have to wait on a charge as I’m able to swap out batteries as needed. Just a tip! Goodluck
