Pico auto firing

[MercuryVaper]

My new pico from FT auto fires when the batteries are about to run out of juice. I found it odd since I have not seen or heard of anyone else with this issue. I made a similar post as this one on FT and another user said his was doing the same thing. Has anybody else had this experience? I haven't tried any updates or anything yet. My batts are sammy 25r blues.

Hello. My Pico is about a month old and l have not had this problem, nor have l heard of this, most bizzare. It is a popular device so others will comment l am sure.

You might benefit from a firmware update. Here is a link below with instructions of how to do it

hope this helps.

I've had mine a month, once or twice something happened. I heard it sizzling, hit the fire button and it stopped. Don't know if the switch stuck or as you experienced, some auto-fire condition. Keeping an eye on this thread.

I've had one since they first came out and the only problem I had was a glitch in the TCR that re-flashing it solved. I'd say try the update and see if the problem goes away.

Thanks for the responses folks. I just did the upgrade, so I'll post back if it fixed it or not. I feel that this issue is very isolated effecting few picos.

Another issue I am finding is that I'll be vaping along and hit the button and it ask if it's new or same coil. I have a couple joyetech board devices, and none of them have this behavior. It just happened as I type this. Not a real big deal, but seems to be a bug.

The only "problem" I have, is when I change out the battery. Once I tighten down the cap and the mod turns back on, occasionally, it decrements my wattage by 0.1W. Also no big deal!

Yea I knew about that quirk but thought it to be a minor inconvenience. Haven't noticed it happening to mine yet. Keeping my eye on it though.

I know I'm late to the game here, but my Pico has done this twice now, and like the OP, the battery was low. It only started doing this with the newest FW V1.03. I've had it for about 4 months.

Just a question, does it happen when the battery blinks?

 

[Ed_C]

I didn't notices blinking. Both times it happened I didn't realize that the battery was that low until I pulled the battery and put it back in.

Updating firmware will solve that.

I haven't had the auto fire issue with the new firmware but my pico's on the new firmware don't get much use these days and I always recharge batteries when they get down in the 30 - 40 percent battery remaining range on all my mods.
