Just a question for those of you running the v1.01 update. Since doing the update, my pico stops at 63 watts in VW mode. It will read 75 watts in temp mode but not in power mode. I don't usually vape above 20 watts on my rtas but wanted to ask if anyone might be able to explain this one. Other wise the mod functions fine. Thanks! -Bill

I can't explain it, but I can tell you I'm running the update and mine will go all the way to 75 watts in Wattage mode.

Yea i know. But i was wondering if anyone has been using that setup. Wanting to see how it looks like.
I dont' run the 24 on the Pico, just put it there for you to see.

It would look better with a matching heat sink & sleeve.

can't say for sure, but I think the mod is doing the math for you (it's smarter than we are)
it is not allowing you to go beyond the internal AMPS limit I'm betting
if you swap in another coil or take the topper/coil off, it probably goes to 75 ?

jus sayin'...

Any downside to using the Pico every day (go through 3 ml per day….nautilus tank at 8 watts)….or should I rotate it with another mod?

Im wasn't sure if running these mods every day wears them out and eventually kills them.

I ran on an istick 30 exclusively for about a month and it died on me.

I would rotate as much as you can if you have another mod or mods. Seems to make mine last a lot longer.

I would rotate it, less wear-in-tear.

The 22 fits better IMHO, at least in terms of pure aesthetics. Heck, if they put some grooves on the AFC ring (as per the Pico battery cap), it would probably look like it was *made* for the Pico lol.

Also, losing the fill-holes that the 24 has really isn't as critical as you might think. I held from trying out the 22 'Cado for the longest time thinking that filling it would be a hassle... but it turned out that the wick holes are more than big enough even with cotton stuffed into them (at least for unicorn/"needle"-tip bottles/syringes). The fill holes on the 24 are tiny anyway lol.

Plus the smaller chamber = more flavor. Though the 'Cados being what they are, the difference isn't really huge between the two.

The 24 does have a more spacious deck for you to put monster coils in though... not that the 22 has a tiny deck or anything.

Finally, if you want to run TC on your 'Cado, using a 510 heatsink *might* negatively impact TC accuracy - or at least that's what I've heard.

Well thats what ive been thinking. Maybe i will go for the black Avocado 22 because i have the all black finish on the pico. Thanks for your feedback btw.

Your experience with the iStick sounds like bad luck. A brother of mine has vaped an iStick 20 exclusively for the past 18 months. I can think of no rational reason why resting them would matter.

I'm thinking a lot about durability these days because of the FDA. My favorite form factor is the Pico. The USB port needs to be treated gently. The part that takes the most wear is the fire button mechanism. I press the button 5-700 times a day. That adds up. My solution, get 5 of them before August 8 then get 5 more of something else in case there are shelf life or other issues with one or the other. With all that I'm not expecting more than 10 years from all 10 but may be they will do better than that.

The 'Burgh, PA.
I haven't seen anything on the voltage being fixed. Where is this listed?

In researching the eGo AIO before buying...all I ran across was "18W-25W"...whatever that means...

You can't change the AIO's Volts/Watts...but I'm guessin' its fixed because the hit I get right-off-the-charger is the same hit I get right-before-it-shuts-off...


I started a thread for it.

Garn...do you happen to have a link handy for your Cubis PRO thread...

Thanx
