PICCO Star 40000 Review: Big-Puff With a Personality

The PICCO Star 40000 is the flagship of PICCO’s Australian line-up — a 40000 puff reference device that competes directly with BIMO’s 40000-class flagships. This review covers the hardware, realistic runtime, the flavour approach, and the head-to-head that matters: the 40000-class picture.

PICCO Star 40000 at a Glance

• Format: large-format bar, single-use
• Puff reference: 40000 (manufacturer figure — realistic runtime below)
• Charging: USB-C, standard 5V adapter
• Flavour range: bold fruit and icy line-up — live list on the PICCO category page
• Policy: no nicotine, 18+ only

Realistic Runtime

• Light use: several weeks
• Steady daily use: roughly two to four weeks
• Heavy use: roughly one to two weeks

40000-class hardware pays off only at real usage: if your 12000 device lasts you under a week, the Star’s cost spreads across the longest window in the market. The size decision is in the big-puff guide; the method in how long a disposable lasts.

Hardware Notes

The Star is a substantial device — expect the largest body we stock alongside the BIMO GTI 40000 and Felxy 40000. A carrying case is the practical companion, especially for travel (carry-on rules in the plane guide). Single button, USB-C, no settings — the full troubleshooting checklist applies if a unit appears dead, and DOA coverage is on the warranty page.

PICCO Star 40000 vs. BIMO GTI 40000

Both are 40000-class. The choice comes down to body shape, draw character and flavour emphasis:

• PICCO Star — bolder flavour expression, its own ergonomic shape
• BIMO GTI / Felxy — BIMO’s two body options for the same class

The direct comparison between the two flagships is in how to choose between the BIMO GTI 40000 and the PICCO Star 40000, and the BIMO-vs-BIMO choice in GTI vs Felxy. Short version: try the body you can live with daily — runtime and value are close at this class.

Flavour Notes

PICCO’s 40000-class profiles run bold — strong fruit leads with icy finishes. The live list is on the PICCO category page; pricing context for the Star is in our PICCO Star pricing post, and the fruit ranking in the fruit guide.

Verdict

The PICCO Star 40000 is the pick when you want maximum runtime and prefer PICCO’s bolder flavour character over BIMO’s. If carry size is a constraint, the Wala YO 18000 is the smaller long-runtime alternative.
