Hmmm, well GunJack and anyone else, my problems seem to have gotten worse today. The ohms reading is now fine, screen is almost permanently dim and absolutely impossible to see outside in the sun (was hard enough before, but impossible now). But the worst problem now is that I just don't seem to have the power coming through. I have more power at 6 watts from my istick than I have from the cloupor @ 30 watts. I wouldn't normally vape at 30 watts but I've just done a tester on it taking it up to the 30 watts and its absolutely no different to the power coming through at 7 watts, which is pretty p*ss poor to what it used to give me at 7 watts. I think I'm gonna have to give up with this one Damn it, I really like the size of it with the changeable battery but I'm dubious about forking out for another one which might go the same way as this one Only had it a few weeks

What a bummer toots - I can't help at all as I don't own one of these, but I did have a problem (now sorted) with my Smok M65, so I know what it feels like when a nice little mod starts getting temperamental Don't give up yet, I'm sure the boffins on our wonderful forum will get to the bottom of it in time

toots , I have one of these and had the same sort of problems with it, I popped off the battery cover and then the plastic cover beside the battery housing with a tiny flat head screw driver, upon checking the wiring etc I noticed that the negative wire to the 510 connector wasn't properly soldered, it was just resting against the side of the 510, the cloupor worked ok but the ohms jumped about etc, I resolderded the connection and epoxied the 510 so that it didn't spin at all, then checked it before super glueing the small black cover back on. It works fine now, they're just cheep mass produced mods, handy and does the job but cheep none the less, wish I'd spent a bit more but hey ho, hope this helps,, Jim

I know it's no consolation, but mine is in daily use and was second-user from Pepperty and it's tooting away nicely with the second one from FT in the apocalypse drawer. Don't give up on it just yet, contact cleaning, different battery, give the 510 threads a good clean, usual stuff

Bad earth, as I mentioned earlier, will cause allsorts of weird faults with electronics, glad you sorted yours lisburnvapes maybe our toots needs to do a bit of soldering

Ha, the bloomin thing has died altogether now. Only had it maximum 4 weeks so rather than mess about with it I've sent a support ticket to FT, maybe they will exchange it or refund me if I send it back to them. If it's faulty do FT refund me the postage if I have to send it back to them, anyone know? lisburnvapes & GunJack - I got no idea how to solder anything together

Yep, I've already raised that ticket GunJack Can't see the point of taking photos of it with the battery in coz how would they know if I'd even turned it on via a photograph but if they do insist on any photos I'll get cracking on taking 'em

Jeeze is it all worth it I ask myself I've never done a video before will have to get my camera instructions out now to find out how to do it, now where the hell did I put those instructions, oh and they're in Spanish if I remember rightly

toots...I would say I don't have video equipment (which I don't) Hmm could do, I'll give it a go tomorrow though, it will be a laugh coz I've organised a friend to come over and video me showing the faulty cloupor, got the camera on charge at the mo. Will see how it turns out, and I've just gone on to photobucket and it says you can upload videos on there so I can then send the link to FT, which is what they're after (a link to it that is). It will be a learning experience if nothing else I wonder how many 'takes' it will be before we get it right
