You dug quite interesting info there - thanks!
I really hope that my mod is the problem.

I do check connections, clean 510, as well. i tightened the atty connector a while back to rule that out.

i'll try that test with temperature. can i use Rayon wick? or regular wick?

Ehpro unfortunately does not ask me if i want to change resistance - it assumes 'yes' all the time . ehpro sent me a custom firmware that does not change resistance (unless you unscrew\screw the atty) but it did not solve my issues.

what you describe about fluctuations, and what you found about ehpro cutting power early - might be consistent with my observation:
for example my mod when it kinda works in TC - it goes TSSSHSSHHssssss........ so what i mean is - it sends enough power in the beginning (sometimes), but after 1 second it abruptly stops and barely works, then another second later almost nothing (almost complete drop in power).
and sometimes when TC actually works, still i have fluctuations that (i think) you described with your pico - it goes like this when you fire "SHSHsshhshHSHSHSHshshshsSHSHSHSHshshshs" - like a wave shaped curve. honestly i could live with that, but that's the best case scenario. usually its just unstable and unpredictable.

the only workarounds i found that sometimes work are:
1) intentional flooding
2) unscrewing the tank to expose the coils, without taking the coils off the mod, screwing the tank back. for some reason it works. problem i have to do it after every puff sometimes .
those are work around anyway, not a fix.

I'm more optimistic about DNA mods now though, looking forward to acquire one.
Does it vape in wattage mode? Exposing the coils to make it work sounds like vacuum lock from improper wicking maybe. Vaping it wattage mode will quickly tell you if this is the case or not.

Wattage mode works great
Then I would say it's probably a poor implementation of TC on the EH Pro IMHO. Until you can try this build on a perfectly functional TC mod like a DNA or a Joyetech/Eleaf/Wismec with Arctic Fox firmware, it will be hard to resolve.
