Homie, the poke in holes are literally right there next to the top + & - signs. They go in sideways. You'll strip about 3/8" of the 18awg wire and poke it in. Take a pic after you've done it so we can be sure it's right haha. Literally mirror your circles to the other side, right below the solder pads, that's where you poke the wire in.

You can see where the plastic has a small void on the edge. They're actually on the bottom too, so you can easily do parallel connections, apparently.
Those are Gen 7, only the SE comes with the poke in connector.

Oh it really looks like the holes on the sides of the COB are poke ins. We'll then, @mxer_kx you'll have to either solder to those pads, or order a few dozen of those Pico EZMate's. Remember to get the 18" leads if you do since the 6"/12"/&18" are all the same price.

This is the SE model, you can see the holes for the wires on the sides and the release buttons on the top. These have neither solder pads or pico. Just poke ins. But you gotta admit, the holes on the sides can be deceiving.

Just buy the Pico EZMates. You'll be glad you did. It's a ton quicker and so much easier for you to disconnect them and move things around. A COB with that feature should be utilized.

Here's the link again if you wanna do it. You bought plenty of wire so these 6" leads will be plenty for you. Youd have to connect a wire to the 18" ones anyways.
It'll only be like an extra $25 and make your build look like a million bucks. So clean.
They're in stock, ready to ship, I checked the PDF DataSheet and they say it works with Vero10 so you're golden.

Well, you're doing series wiring so that will work!

I'm confused what you mean. These picos will be the 4 slot connector, with only the 2 outer slots actually pinned out to wires. The wires just extend out 6" but are left as wire with nothing on them. You'd be just connecting for series, red to the black, red to black, red to black, red to black, and on the 15th COB that last black wire you'll add a length of wire to it to return to the drivers negative lead.
So what are you talkin about?

Basically exactly what you were saying positive to negative positive to negative etc. But instead of soldering the leads of the picos to the next you just put em in to one of these https://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/0781710004/WM4460CT-ND/2424929/?itemSeq=321246885

That wouldn't work. You don't get it I dont think. The connection plugs In to that space on the cob, it clicks downwards. Then all you have left are bare black and red wires. Soldering the black negative to the red positive of the next cobs connecttor together or connecting them somehow is gonna need to be done.Basically exactly what you were saying positive to negative positive to negative etc. But instead of soldering the leads of the picos to the next you just put em in to one of these https://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/0781710004/WM4460CT-ND/2424929/?itemSeq=321246885
