The istick TC 100W will only put out 75W on a single battery just like the Pico does.


Exactly.

It's always been able to run in single cell/75W mode (it's the rare parallel batt config)... though I doubt more than a handful of users have ever left the house prepped to use it that way. :D


eta: Uh oh... I have the non-TC predecessor istick 100 sitting here (sad and unused :( ) so I just checked ...

Also parallel sled, but no wattage restriction with just the one cell installed.

So I checked the 100TC and it goes all the way up as well... but I have AF installed and don't feel like reflashing the JT firmware to see if that caps at 75W.
I thought it did... but it's been so long.

Anyone care to report?

With one battery installed and the latest eleaf firmware I could select up to 120W.

Not sure if it would actually fire that high with a single battery (Not going to try either!) The board may detect a weak battery????

As I am doing a squonk conversion I will only ever run one battery, I limited the power to 50W with the latest version of the AF firmware.

Sounds sensible.

I don't know yet what happens with an AF update, but JoyeTech made an odd, perhaps dangerous decision with all of their updatable JT, ELeaf and Wismec mods... a firmware update resets the wattage in power mode to maximum. :confused:
(or it still did last I checked a few months ago)

I can't even imagine which exec thought that was a good idea. :rolleyes:

Wow. $20 ...

Already have three and two duals on the way, so...
From what I can see only a few colors are offered. I'm probably going to get a couple more Picos for the stockpile, but all black, and that's not one of the available colors. I started using a Pico pretty much all day every day last year and since then I haven't seen another mod that looks any better for me.

I'm going to buy a couple more all black picos for the stash. They have to be ALL black. I already use a black silicone sleeve. A few dollars diffence doesn't matter but I'd take the deal if all black was a choice. I wonder if Picos are the best selling mod on the planet. Well, except they don't appeal to the cloud people.

Im on a fire8 tablet i never noticed the c/p tabs popped up at top of the screen..thanks again fozzy! ;)
lol, glad to help. I am not all that young and only been doing the smartphone/tablet thing a few years myself because I was trying to keep my monthly cell bill as cheap as possible (I work from home on the internet, din't see a need for mobile web so out of the house was like a mini no internet vaca) but now I couldn't live without it.

I Know the Feeling...although i rarely uśe cellphone internet...at home my computer set up was 'a control station ' 3 monitors..i took it down after i played around with my laptop...but i can't get much done without at least 2 monitors. So the past few weeks i have been trying to get used to a tablet for my travels. So far it's ok if i don't want to write much...but i miss my control station haha..could maybe get by with laptop ±1 extra monitor...

Just bought a "Fire HD 8"...

Wanted to have the internet with me when I'm out and about...but have NO interest in making/receiving phone calls...(or paying cell phone charges)...

For $70 :shock: ...what more could I want?

[There's a lot to learn with it...(I've only used Windows PC's)...but since Alexa is "always there" I just ask "her" when I need any assistance using it...:thumbs: ]

This may be a silly question, but I ordered a Pico recently, one of those $20 listed recently from volcano. I actually ordered 2, 1 was delivered today and I ordered the second 1 yesterday and hasn't been delivered yet. Now the box wasn't wrapped in plastic and the mod also didn't have any plastic or stickers protecting it. I only have a few mods to date but I swear every box was wrapped in plastic and each device also had some sort of plastic or stickers on the device/screen etc. I actually never paid much attention because they all clearly came wrapped as any electronic device would. If I remember correctly my black 75w kit which came with the Mello tank had a plastic sleeve type thing over the device itself. It did pass the authentication from the scratch code but it almost seems like a display device or one that was returned....and the authentication code is only on the box, the devices themselves have no identitying numbers
So my question is does a new Pico 75w come in a box wrapped in plastic,,, and/or the device itself??

Thanks in advance

All three of mine came in boxes wrapped with clear in plastic. I can't remember where on the box it is, but there is a QR code that can be scanned. That takes you to the Eleaf website where you can enter the code found beneath the scratch off.

Edit: Here's a side-by-side shot of a clone Pico (left) and a real one (right)
