Yeah, trying to return it. Might just stick with my mini volts. Thanks for replying def!
Not sure if you still want to keep it, but I just emailed the company about putting up a working firmware update onto their site, regardless if it has the "awaited ss tc mode", just put a working software update up.

Il update whenever I get a reply back :/

Got an email back, this was their reply
Hi Anon,
Thanks for let me know that .
Firstly we gonna tell our engineers about the problem we have ,they will find what the problem is and get a method to fix it .
As for the software update ,it only can be updated by the special date USB cable made by Artery.


What I originally sent - after I emailed them the first time about the ss update
Thank you for the response.
A friend recently bought a nugget also and it does not work. The software has a bug and will not allow power to the atomizer. Software version 100201 602271 is bad.
Can you please put a working software update onto the arteryvapor.com website? Not a problem if it does not have ss temp control. Just a guaranteed to work software version please.

I was going to buy the Nugget, waiting and watching for a few months. Lack of actual product availability and some early vendor price gouging was not a good sign, now some early issues/bugs surfacing, no real support website or firmware, etc. They may have missed their window of opportunity, as Eleaf just announced their 75w PICO device. While not quite as tiny, though smaller then my Evic VTC Mini's, the feature list like using your own 18650 batteries, 75 watts, custom TCR settings, basically all the software features I like on my VTC Mini, since they are the same parent company, similar if not identical software.

$35 for Mod only, and when they hit the shelves you will be able to buy them anywhere, early April is what I've read. Also I prefer the rounded iStick form over the square box of the Nugget. I see some listed prices for the Nugget have plummeted now, probably due to this Pico release, hard to compete with the huge Chinese mod makers. Again, it is not as tiny as the Nugget, but the list of upside features means the Nugget has dropped off my buy list, maybe down the road I'll play with one for $25, assuming they still exist. Sometimes it pays to be patient and wait especially in the current Mod market.

ADDED RELATIVE SIZES in mm's:
ELEAF PICO MOD: 70.5 X 45 X 23 (NOTE: Height is to top of battery cap, mod itself is shorter)
NUGGET MOD: 55.5 X 31 X 22

The pico does look nice, and gives me a reason to buy it (loose 18650 I have no use or charger for atm) only question is, can you charge via USB port? :/ some say it's only for updating. Without the battery cap, i expect it to be in the 60mm-65mm range in height.

The nugget, is a great mod imo, just little quirks they haven't ironed out yet before they released them... it's my second most used mod, next to my ijust2.


Tho the pico may take the cake... 18650s can be changed when battery degrades over time, and the ability for "bypass" mode really sells it for me.

In the YouTube reviews I just watched they say you both charge and do via firmware updates via the USB port and can Vape while charging same as VTC mini. My Vaporshark DNA 200 is my best mod, my 2 VTC Mini's are my daily carries, and I have no TC issues with those. If the Pico performs like the VTC Mini, then it's a Nugget KILLER!

"Heavens gift has a utube vid and he measures from base to 510 which is 63.71mm and the total height is 70.6mm. Btw the weight without battery is 90g."

Nuggets are starting to become reliably available.
Congrats to anyone in North America who has already been able to get an
authentic unit that
[1] shipped from within North America.
[2] did not require the purchase of a tank.
[3] did not cost more than $40.
Note that arteryvapor.com posted a news item a couple of weeks ago indicating
that sales via the fasttech and efun links are unauthorized and possibly
counterfeit.
Also note that the 'buy now' link on arteryusa.com has become active in the last
few days, but just redirects to the madvapes listing for the out of stock combo
with the tank.
Here is a US reseller whose listing switched from 'preorder' to 'in stock' over
the weekend:
Demand Vape Retail
Black, silver, and copper. They have guest checkout so you don't need to make an
account.
Regarding QR/FW:
I received two units last week from ebay. They have QR codes that verify at
qr.arteryvapor.com. FW on both is 100201603161. They are great. I don't do TC so
can't comment on that.


And for those of you whose plan is to carry two of these around and use one
while charging the other, I would be interested in seeing what power packs you
plan on using.
Extra credit if you were able to find 1-150Z4160025.zip on arteryvaopr.com.
