Eleaf iStick Pico TC75w

I would try Rick's suggestion--it's saved an iStick of mine, in the past--no idea why, but it did help, the thing is still going now, a good 12-15 months later.
I have a Pico, either already in, or on it's way to, UK--I've heard a lot of good things about them, let's hope this is just a temporary glitch, Neilly, and it comes back to life.

 

I just did...it hasn't made the slightest difference. With no atty attached it's showing 0.09ohm and will actually operate as if there in an atty attached i.e. when you press the fire button it reads the time the button is pressed for instead of showing the error 'No Atomizer Attached'.

Fingers crossed that new firmware (when available will fix this glitch) as I really like the Pico

 

Perhaps worth a try:

Does it allow you to soft power-off with 5 presses of fire button? If so, turn it off using that method, then press the fire button 20 times in fairly rapid succession to show the firmware version. The point with this is to do something different in trying to get it back to working normally. Try that or perhaps some of the other button combination functions. USB connect to PC without battery installed may be worth a try too. Also maybe rapidly pressing the up and down buttons individually and many times in effort in freeing something inside.

Anyway, just a few ideas.

 

Yes, I agree now with Scratchy, I should be a Politician.
Don't forget, whatever it looks like, it's got a Chinese brain inside, you need to ' unconfuse' it.

There have been no firmware upgrades yet....still on version 1.00

Great device btw...love it to bits.

 

Just tried all of your suggestions @Scratchy ...plus a few others I could think of...nah, not having it.

This is a pic of it connected to the comp with no battery or atty...funnily enough it will vape at that with a battery installed...just

 

Thank ypu for the link @Siam Diesel , but I'm not too interested after I found the following quote from Heaven Gifts product description :"As an answer to the upcoming TPD regulations, this eleaf istick pico adopts a tank with 2ml e-liquid capacity." Since I like to show my solidarity with the vapers in Europe, I'm NOT going to buy a tank with only 2 ml. capacity. If I want something with a 2 ml capacity I think a dripper with a deep well will do the trick.

 

2ml is a joke!

I used to enjoy my two Nautilus minis (2ml capacity) and I still like my two KF3 mini clones…
but that’s not keeping me off to by one or two "full size" Kayfun 5 clones – as soon as they get available locally!

 

V1.01 is now available

iStick Pico - iSmoka/Eleaf electronic cigarette

Didn't fix my problem tho

 

Mine was working fine until I connected to the laptop to do the update, now nothing and the display panel does not even light up. Are they sponsored by Microsoft?

Now working again after I tried holding the + and - buttons simultaneously but I will leave the update out of fear that it could do more damage than good.

 

Is anybody using the Pico on TC mode with SS 316L?
According to this video the SS mode is way too hot, and a custom TCR value of 79 must be used. It's my first time using temperature control, and with this TCR I must boost the temperature to 285°C to be able to vape something. Seems way to high when in fact the actual vape produced is similar to a kayfun at 15w one's.

 

I use it with a Crius 0.24 / dual 24ga / 55w / 500f and a Bachelor Nano 0.37 / 24ga / 45w / 460f. Both set to a TCR of 92.

 

The 1.01 firmware adds a new screen readout for VW mode where you can only see ohms, watts and the battery icon.

Unimpressed since I like to see both V and W.

You can also add a logo of your choice…which I dint care about either.

Apparently it fixes the problem of the watts reading decreasing when you switch it on….

And if you were to switch back to 1.0 after doing the upgrade, then the watts problem stays fixed.

All in all, I see no reason to upgrade…doesn't bother me if my watt reading drops from 12 to 11.9…i just put it up again.
