The main project page is basically the user manual, the general configuration is very intuitive.
GitHub - maelstrom2001/ArcticFox: Custom Firmware for Joyetech, Wismec and Eleaf battery mods
The clock works but will not keep proper time since there is no RTC chip on the Pico. You can edit all of the profile parameters right from the Pico itself, except for profile names and if they are enabled or not.
I don't use the clock myself, have one of those old antique things you put on your wrist, however from what I've read if you prevent the mod from going into deep sleep mode (setting is available in firmware) it keeps time pretty well.
It also is much easier to setup the config using NFEtoolbox rather then tryonf to navigate the menus from the mod.
i dont drop my mods,, but i vape a lot (30ml/day) with rings on my fingers and tools in my hands,, grease and grime too.......mine still look new. (grey bought in May2016) i have 3 more 1 grey + 2 brushed packed away) + 1 squeeze still looking for a good atty...2 narda's lost in the mail waiting for 60 days at slowtech to replace
How are ya Troll!
Yeah, there is a setting for adjusting the speed and I've played around with it but I still haven't found the right setting. I'm getting close. When I find it, I'll tell you. The Evic mini does the same (I guess that's because IT doesn't have an RTC chip either since it's not a v2).
It shows up as military time but like I said, I'm in the midst of trying to get it synchronized in real time (the Evic Mini has an analog clock & a military setting). Mine are too fast. The adjustment is in settings under rtc-speed adjustment. I re-adjusted it this morning again to slow it down a little more. I'm just doing it in increments every day or twice a day. I'll let you know if I ever get a normal/stable setting.
... My Pico family will probably be growing (mods only)! 
Thank God I decided against the bronze ones, these are SO much prettier!!! 
(Oh, good God, I want them all! )BTW, it appears Vapesourcing and Efun are the only vendors selling them so far, but you are not able to choose the color at Vapesourcing. They ARE designated by color at Efun: Eleaf iStick Pico RESIN 75W TC Tempreture Control Box Mod - $36.99

I turned off the clock myself, because this morning it displayed the time as about 25 minutes fast. I was fine without a clock beofore, but having the wrong time displaying would drive me absolutely batty.
Do let us know if you find a way to fix it, so it constantly displays the time correctly. The analog doesn't appear to be available on the Pico, correct?
I'm still tweaking at the moment. It's getting real close to being sychronized. Believe me, for the life of me, I will get it sychronized because my ocd will not stand for it!!I turned off the clock myself, because this morning it displayed the time as about 25 minutes fast.

Yes there is a military clock on the Pico with the firmware installed. You just have to press fire & plus at the same time and then start scrolling through the 'screen' settings to find it (scroll to clock, you'll see Main... turn that on). You can familiarize yourself with the settings (and the meanings of the initials) in the toolbox while on your computer and play around with the mod too so you get familiar with how to maneuver the settings.
Hey IMR!How are ya Troll!
The Evic mini does the same (I guess that's because IT doesn't have an RTC chip either since it's not a v2).
Doing great and really good to see you on the threads!
My Pico and Cuboid don't get a whole lot of use these days, 2 Hohm Wrecker G2's, an iPV8, a Minikin 2 and the VT133 are my EDC.
Personally, I wouldn't put too much effort into the clock aspect of that firmware on a non RTC device. But, like anything in this vape game, YMMV!
If you do get it hammered down, then yes, please share. The ArcticFox config program has an option to save your configuration just like eScibe
. The only problem is when you flash an updated ArcticFox firmware to the device, you can't load your saved configuration file... 
All of your customization will have to be reentered as well as reloading any wire (SS430) CSV files. Kind of a useless feature to save a configuration if it is not loadable down the road.So keep track of your clock speed settings since you will need to enter them again if you update.
This was mentioned as an issue on the project page, but is of no importance to the firmware creator.
I may have the tweak numbers very soon. Clock has been right on the money since early this morning.Hey IMR!

Before I started trying to tweak, it was running at least 10 to 20 minutes fast within hours. Hopefully I'll have a number for you by tomorrow. I've only been testing the Evic mini's clock but I would imagine the (speed) number should work the same for the Pico's. I've only been using the firmware for around 5 days and noticed that the battery life has drastically improved. Do you notice at all?
problem is when you flash an updated ArcticFox firmware to the device, you can't load your saved configuration file...
If your referring to the obsolete file error you get when attempting to load the config file with the new version of NFET you can get around it by saving your current config file off the device with updated version before you reflash, then use the newly saved config.
I use the same config file across all my devices, RX200, 200S, VTC Mini, Cubiod, Pico, ETC. Also when I update to a newer firmware package all my customizations have thus far remained on the device.
Thanks ccwaters!
Never even thought of doing it that way...
I have 170201 here waiting to go on and will be sure to save with the 6.5 toolbox before I install it. 
There might be an 18650 mod with a recessed deck that creates a smaller package, atomizer included. I use a short 22 mm rda and a slip ring to control leaking so the pico is going to the the smallest that will work for me.
I was going to post about the new Pico version with the resin body. That one interests me because a lower weight Pico sounds good but so far it appears the weight difference may be small. I'll be interested to hear of other's experience with the resin version.
Pretty much. One thing close is the Lost Vape DNA 60 ePetite which is 73X45X27 mm (nice for larger tanks and no battery cap obstruction) vs. the Pico 70X44X22 mm. But a significant price difference, although granted with a DNA board.
