Eleaf iStick Pico - Firmware v1.01

[yobbo]

Bought this little device, 3 weeks back for my wife, it's a seriously impressive little device, was kinda bored right now at the office, and popped onto the website, which I hadn't visited since looking up for my wives device... well they have just released a new firmware for all those interested.

Enjoy


Extract from the "New Firmware V1.01" document from the site.



1. New interface for VW mode:

The new interface for VW mode displays resistance of coil, wattage setting and battery bar more clearly, allowing you to have a check easily by a simple glance.


2. Smart mode:

The Smart mode will save one output power setting for each resistance value and can totally save ten groups of such profiles. Once you change the output power setting for a resistance, it will re-save the changed setting automatically. When the Smart mode has already remembered ten profiles and you want to add another new resistance, the first saved profile will be deleted.


3. Custom logo:

You can download or make logos to your preference and put the favorite one in the mod. The logo should be single color picture in the format of bmp with limited 96*16 pixel.


Steps on how to put logo in the mod:

a. Open the picture you chose with Paint, edit it to be a single color picture of 96*16 pixel, and save it in format of bmp.

b. Download the file on our website, plug the mod in with USB cable, and double click the EleafUpdate.exe.

c. Click “LOGO” and open the picture you saved, finally the custom logo is successfully put in the mod.

d. Press the fire button twice in quick succession when the mod is powered on to enter logo on/off interface and press up or down button one time to turn on or off logo.

e. When you turn on logo and the mod enters standby mode, the logo appears on the screen till the mod goes to sleep mode.

Ah, thank you. Now to stealth upgrade HRH's Pico and slip in a silly logo!

I noticed last night there was a new firmware and did the upgrade.

Nothing great, you are not able to view the volts anymore with the new firmware.
Looks a bit different, same vaping experience though

My PC doesn't pick up my Pico at all for some reason... I have tried different cables, USB ports, Pico on, Pico off, battery in, battery out. Nothing. The Eleaf software simply shows "Device name: None device".

Anyone else tried the update yet? Any issues with the Pico being detected?

 

[Kalashnikov]

So its basically the vtc mini update??

 

[mildly.inked]

Ok came right, the download contains two zip files - V 1.00 and V 1.01. I was trying the 1.01 but when I opened the V 1.0's updater.exe I could just navigate to the V 1.01 bin file and update it. Had to do it twice, the first time bricked my Pico (wouldn't switch on or show charging, was completely blank) so just ran it again and it worked.

Wow, that is kinda scary. Glad you're able to just re-flash it and that fixes it.

I had my Pico on when I connected it to my PC, had no issues at all. Windows detected a new device, installed drivers and then v1.01 exe opened up without hassles.

Weird, I struggled a bit but got it in the end at least.

I wasn't to worried when it was dead because the exact same thing happened when I flashed my old VTC mini (that time I stressed) so I knew I could just flash it again and it would be ok... luckily! If I had killed it I would be busy ordering another one right now, I Love my Pico!

 

[Modulas]

Sweet!
I checked their website daily for the first while after buying my Pico, but eventually gave up on seeing any updates so soon for such a new device.

Will be updating mine this evening then.

Upgradable firmware adds such value to a product. Like the VTC which now has flappy birds

 

[Modulas]

Was hoping for a few extra watts, but some cosmetic changes are okay too.

It would be nice, however, vaping at 75W kills my battery!!

I wouldn't mind updated Temp Control algorithms or similar.

 

[Modulas]

It works!

After you let go of the button it stays on the normal status screen for about 5 seconds and then switches to this one. Stays like this for the rest of the usual time out period and then goes out.

This just got me thinking...I don't really like the long display time out anyway - If I choose a plain black image as my logo, I would in effect create a 5 second screen time out of my own!
Gonna go try that now.

You might consider the Avocado 22mm. Way shorter than the Melo III Mini tank for an overall compact combo. Have two 22's and three 24's and love them... so I'm prejudice.

The 24 doesn't fit on the Pico though, right?

I get no leaks at all... has a Velocity type build deck, as easy as it gets to build single or dual coils on, and has chamber reducers for single builds.

The battery cap prevents mounting an Avo 24 on the Pico.
