iStick Pico Help

[gavin310]

I just got the iStick Pico kit about 20 minutes ago along with batteries, a charger, and juice. It's my first mod. The batteries aren't full, they seem to be at about 40%. The mod displays "weak battery" on it. I have it set to 40 watts. When it's on and I long hold the fire button and breathe, nothing happens. I'm just sucking in air... no smoke, no heat, nothing. Is the problem that the batteries aren't charged enough? I thought I did everything right and was excited to start vaping...

I would charge the battery and try again. I have 3 of them and had to charge the batteries before using.

If it's saying weak batteries, 40% charge isn't enough if that's an accurate number. Charge the batteries fully before using it. I think this is the right one I have looked at with the 18650s. I always had to charge those after buying new ones.

All batteries are shipped and stored at around 3.6-3.7v
These may just have been sitting, and lost some charge.
Charge them up. You should be good to go.

Charge your batteries. I have 3 Picos, all have worked perfectly.

The higher the wattage, the less "reserve" the battery has to fire the atty. You may have enough power to fire at 10W, but not at 40W. Either way, charge the battery. I think the Pico cuts out at 3.5V.
