Got another pico (white) today from FT that I have to crack open and test / upgrade firmware on.
Beautiful wood or leather don't interest me enough to pay a premium for them.
But any opportunity to grab a DNA75 for less than the $60 price of the board alone... kind of a no brainer to have at least one. Plus you get an enclosure and all the mod hardware, even if the product sucks.
Yeah... I'll keep an eye on the pricing (and reviews) when this one arrives.
Do you guys leave your mods on overnight? I did that last night with a relatively fresh battery in and by morning it was just under half capacity. Does it draw much power in standby mode? I am using IMR 18650 2000mAh batteries and I have one IMR 1600mAh.
I don't turn mine off at night and haven't noticed a voltage drop. Guess I should check that out.
Yea, I might do some sorta test sometime this week. Maybe test battery voltage with multimeter then put it in the mod and turn it on and test it again in the morning.
Would be interesting to see if it drops any.
I have 8 mods (1 pico) in rotation and my brother's girlfriend has 2 picos she uses. I never turn any of them off and never notice a battery drain. I figure a little battery drain is better than an extra 5 clicks per day on the button.
Your battery is just likely old/weak.
Yea, I am almost certain you are right on the last part. I bought these batteries like over 2 years ago when I bought my first mod (Lavatube). These things were expensive back then.
I noticed that the screen uses the rapid flashing oled for the screen so that also helps to save the battery life. Rather than power the led constantly, they just rapidly flash.
I love this image of it. Pretty trippy to look at.
I leave my batteries in over night every night,, I don't see any drop in power. I don't 'lock it' or play with the settings except wattage.
Your problem is using the wrong batteries for your Pico.
The AW 2000mah is a 10a CDR cell.
The AW 1600 mah was a 24a CDR when new, as batteries are used and age they lose capacity.
The Pico requires a 20a CDR battery.

Doesn't really require a 20a battery, but recommended for higher wattage vaping. I vape at 5.5a. That battery would be fine.
Yea, Batteries are on my to buy list. While we are on this issue. Can anyone recommend A link to a good 18650 battery from either DFW Vapor or Amazon as a prime item. I buy from DFW all the time on liquid, and I am a Prime member on Amazon so free 2 day shipping and easy returns. I will try to buy a good brand like Sony, Lg, or Samsung. But as for the wattage, I normally don't vape anything over like 25W. Right now I have a notch coil in there and I am in Temp mode and have the wattage set to 15.5.
I bought these last year and they were light blue. The new versions is green. Only went up $.08 (paid $21.80)

I also have a bunch of LG HE2s that are about 1.5 yrs old and still work great but they're not heavily used as I have many mods and even more batteries.

I was looking for stuff Like this ma Seems to have good reviews.
Thanks it helps a lot knowing that someone here recommended those.
It's called refresh rate and not a flashing OLED.
Constant update of the screen requires cpu cycles, you can save on cpu time and power with a refresh rate that is just fast enough our eyes don't notice it. (Persistance)
Buying batteries on Amazon is like playing Russian roulette. Not worth the risk imo. Don't know about DFW.
