Can't reply easily as you posted inside my quote.

So you did mean 0.8 and not 0.08.
Or are you actually getting a reading of 0.08?
Because that would indicate some other problem, as I mentioned.

Just posting the fewest possible words across three or four posts doesn't help.
At this point I only recall you saying you got an "ohms too low" error.
Now we have some detail about your coil.
What about the atty?
Settings on the mod?

It's like pulling teeth.. I'll let someone else have a go and go back to the Games. :(

Thanks
Using a Bellus atty
I can't adjust the setting because the mod won't accept either the atty or its coil
The reading of the coil master is .08
Is this too low for the Pico?

What setting would you recommend?
I always run ss316 in TC mode but I rarely build that low, especially for the pico since that low of ohms requires a lot of watts. I have a 0.12 ohm dual coil twisted 26ga in my billow v3 plus I am running at 72.5 watts on my istick 200tc. I wouldn't want to run that hig of watts in a pico. I would suggest you build a new coil with higher ohms if you are going to run that tank on the pico.

I agree completely with @Fozzy71. Besides what he said, I also doubt you'll get a very satisfying vape down that low on the Pico, even in TC, and even if it can technically accept a .08 in TC mode.

I'm still a little confused as to how a well-built SS coil is quite that low, too...

yes, my dual coil twisted 26 is 8 or 9 wraps per coil to get that low.

I used 26g 3mm coil, 11wraps
I used this as a guide and its spot on
Coil wrapping
Many thanks 4 the help

I think maybe you are getting your wires crossed a little, figuratively.

When I plug those numbers into steam-engine, I get a 0.8 ohm outcome, not 0.08. To get the latter figure, it would essentially be... 1 wrap.

0.8ohms is far more acceptable on the Pico, and a SS coil can be used in wattage or TC.

If it is definitely reading .08, something is wrong somewhere. Maybe you can include a photo?

Is the center pin on the 510 post on the Pico spring loaded, or just magnetic (or both)? Has anyone had any negative issues with it?

I've had a tiny bit of issue with one of my Griffins and the connection to the Pico, but that's it, and I think it's more the Griffin itself. My other Griffin connects just fine. It's a spring loaded connection and I've had no other problems. I actually have a second Pico coming.
