Just be warned, if I'm not mistaken, that it resets the wattage to 75 watts.

That and my heart damn near stopped when I was making my tutorial on the last page! I didn't intend to actually update my Pico because I like the firmware that's on it. But for getting pictures for the tutorial, I went in like I was going to update it so that I could get screenshots. I clicked on the logo button in the update software. Then I just exited that box and the whole update software and unplugged the USB cable. I went to use my Pico and NOTHING happened. The screen was completely black. I took the battery out and put it in and still nothing.
Good thing I figured it had to do with the update software. So You can't go to update the logo or firmware and NOT ACTUALLY CHOOSE A FILE. If you do your Pico will be dead until you finish the update process, whether it was the firmware or the logo you didn't select.
I did the update as soon as I got my Pico. Didn't mess with the logo just picked the firmware and opened the newest file version. I've only use ti1 wire with it set at 400f coil .28ohm. (did bump it to 420 when the coil got gunked) When my new Lavabox m 75 came I let the tank sit for a while to room temp the coil (serpent mini) and the Lavabox read it at the same .28 Spider silk ti 1. Just ordered some more ti from temco. Don't think I'd try any other wire for tc unless I get REALLY board.
What do you set you watts to in tcti mode? Also do you know what amp battery you have?

I set the watts at 30 but in tc it uses what it needs (I don't think I've seen it hit 30 maybe for a mls). The batteries are rated at 20a, lg batts. You can hit it in a mirror and watch the screen, you can see the watts its using and watch the temp go up untill it hits the tc screen.
Okay thanks. I can't wait to get my new batteries for it.
Btw I hold mine kinda sideways and can see the screen.

My Wismec/Joyetech/Eleaf mods have "bricked" (not really as it's easily remedied by simply reinstalling the firmware) when I've forgotten to press "exit" before taking it off the usb so it's not about the mod being reformatted.

I think it just waits to finish the process before It will boot. So for me I clicked to upload a logo and then exited the software. Now the firmware is expecting a logo, but there isn't one in the memory so it probably just fails to complete the startup process.
Anyway I found out earlier that when I leave the Pico in my truck during the day and then go to use it, it doesn't like to be hot in TC mode. Like the coil is already probably 150F from sitting in the vehicle. It started working better once the AC started working good.
I don't think it's even that. If you don't press exit it simply results in a non-functioning device (easily remedied by reloading the firmware though).

But the firmware is still there. When I did it with logo, i just finished the logo update and it didnt reset any of my settings like temp and watts like it does with a full update. But I didnt try it by not completing the firmware update, I just did it with the logo.

Yes, but it seems to leave the device "open" in some way, so that even though there's firmware it won't function.

Dang these things are rather glitchy for me. I had my Merlin on, and in tcti, it showed ohms as over 1 and when i took a draw, it would go to 411F and stop on the temp. It didnt go to temp protect. I had to unlock ohms, blow in it to cool coil and relock..

My two Pico's I ordered from Gear best went thru Los Angeles yesterday, and are scheduled for delivery on the 6th. So I guess all is well there. 
That's good, With customs, it can always be a hit and miss game on whether your package will make it through. I had a laptop once, and I ordered a simple metal bracket for the harddrive, and it got held up for weeks going through customs. When I finally got it, it had so many stamps going back and forth so I guess there was some paperwork and they sent it back and then it went back to customs and finally to me. By that time I think I ended up junking the thing.My two Pico's I ordered from Gear best went thru Los Angeles yesterday, and are scheduled for delivery on the 6th. So I guess all is well there.
Since this was the only place I see this mentioned, I thought I'd give some feedback. Just received The Aster mod from Desert Vapes. It's a cute little sucker. Yeah the button is in a higher spot but it is a very comfortable placement. The mod feels like half the size of my vtc mini. The way its shaped though it is only slightly smaller. As far as tank size goes, The Merlin (23mm I believe) fits beautifully. The Borea has a slight overhang.
Asters are wonderful for anyone with smaller hands---thinking of a 2nd one.
