Smart what they did here. Take what's good, add what's been left out or ignored.

Is there anyway to get an internal, operational breakdown of the Pico through a Mac? In a similar fashion to Arctic Fox I'd like to see the variants occurring during normal operations as I think something is off just recently.

Do you mean the Fox's Escribe-like Monitor?

I don't recall any of these installers and control apps being available for OS X, but there are a couple free or test drive options for running an older Win OS on your Mac. Might have been mentioned recently in this thread actually.

A pico knockoff. They added a big touch screen. I would think the device has too be thicker and more expensive. It doesn't interest me. If a DNA60 would fit in a pico I'd be very interested. The escribe research functions in a pico form factor would be hard to resist.

Not sure what I mean. I've access to a Windows 10+ machine now. I'd like to be able to investigate and verify the Pico is operating correctly. Internal performance metrics as it relates to a diagnostic in making sense of this:

Basic coil build / cool vape @ 37w

I'd just like to know step by step what I'm to install for this program I see referenced here. For example, I have NFirmwareEditor V6 and af-161224.bi downloaded. What am I missing?

I didn't click that link but nfe toolbox (nfirmware editor 6.3) should do what you are wanting to do I think. If not, I am not aware of anything with more comprehensive diagnostics

Actually that has a built in non-replacable battery, no 18650s. Still is very Flasklike.

I thought that might be the case, but Smok didn't mention anything about battery capacity on their website (which is kind of odd) and I found at least one vendor who was claiming it was a 2-18650 mod. Too bad if it's a built-in. Where did you see the battery specs?

As you noted, first, no battery door. Second, the wattage. No way Smok would claim only 150W from 2 18650s. They already market their 2 battery mods as "220W", like they can really do that. Just like their Smok Engine will be a 4 battery 400W mod, while everyone else is being a bit more realistic in the 300-350W range (OK, realistic does seem a poor choice of words for a 350, let alone 400W mod).

Not sure how to launch it so hopefully someone will chime in. Uncertain if I should be loading it on to the Pico or what, but it's certainly not obvious to me.

FYI 6.4 is out now. If you unzipped the download there should be a ntoolbox.exe file in there to run that has a 'device monitor' button for analyzing your mod while vaping similar to escribe

Fozzy, when I open that file a green bar loads then nothing. Should I be loading that into the Pico akin to loading Eleaf firmware upgrades - through Eleaf's interface with the Pico?
no idea, only used it once. I just launched the nftoolbox.exe then clicked the firmware updater to load the bin into one of my mods. I didn't care for the default TC modes and quickly reflashed my device with factory firmware. Hopefully one of the other guys can help more. never seen a green bar of any sort.

Hoping they come out with the Pico Dual firmware. Love this thing cause I don't knock it over all the time on my work bench.
I got a Pico Mega for the exta battery time on days when i'll need that then discovered the wider base is also nice on a table. I still prefer the standard pico for out and about and work days.
