Yeah, it vapes, just no screen. Also, I know I didn’t put it in stealth mode so I’m stumped
Is it possible that the mod is also locked? Try holding both the + and - button for a few seconds to check. If it is locked then you should be able to change the stealth.

I do not have a pico, but do have an al85 that did that to me,

I was sure I had not set stealth mode to on, initial attempt to switch stealth mode would not work

pulled the battery out let it sit for 5-10 minutes, replaced battery, then was able to switch from stealth on to stealth off.

Hope this will work for you @ChelsB

But if it was locked it wouldn’t fire, correct?
Pressing down + fire button didn’t work. Neither did pressing both - and +
Do devices just sometimes do weird stuff like this sometimes?
Oh, and I took the battery out to charge and that didn’t work either

Locking the mod just means that even IF you press any other buttons than the fire button, it won't make any changes to your settings.
Also be sure to view the screen to see any messages....ie. lock.....unlock

I didn’t know that, I thought locking it was so the device didn’t inadvertently fire in a purse or pocket. You learn something new every day! [emoji4]

Nope....the only way to ensure the mod will not fire while in pocket or purse is to turn it off by clicking the fire button 5 times rapidly.

I just had a “duh” moment. Of course turning off and locking aren’t the same! I guess I wouldn’t be me without the occasional boneheaded vaping question!
(Still in stealth though)

It is possible that the screen is just wearing out. I have one that sometimes shows the screens top half. Taking the battery out does help mine although I don't know how long that will last.

This thing isn't even a year old. Is it common for screens to crap out?

slots are totally different. One has tiny little ones....the other is half the atomizer.

Do you think one is better than the other? I noticed the slots but really didn’t know what that meant
ETA: I’m super proud of myself. I just successfully rebuilt an iCare mini coil!!!!
