SMOK XPro M65 drops to 15 Watts on its own issue

[Ripshod]

Does it happen with any other atties River?

[River]

Yep.i only use kayfuns now,tried all kayfuns on dna30.istick and coiling ohms reader all showing @1.3-1.4ohms attach to BT50 all eading 2.0ohms

[Ripshod]

I know my M65 won't fire my Rose, but that's because the threads are stripped on the centre pin and I can't lower it. Fires fine on a Hana and on the BEC Pro
But I'm not condemning it for that, it registers and fires others just fine.

My only concern is am i getting a true vape with the reading ie on my dna30 1.3 ohm 15watts 4.5volt
on BT50 2.0ohm 9.5watts 4.5volt

[Ripshod]

Volts Mode would be a good workaround. At least setting it to 4.5 Volts will protect you from burnt hits.

I know that's not what you wanted to hear. In theory as long as everything is clean and tight ohms should not wander of it's own free will.

Is the pin on the kayfuns adjustable? Could you lower it a bit? <<<Forget that, I think the pin holds the positive post in. Some do add an o-ring under it tho, to extend it a little.

Back to the thread: VTC4 has just died at 3.39 Volts - no Watts drop.

I recieved my M65 the other day and having all the same issues. Just a quick run down on mine is it has a 1 charge old Samsung 25R ( new when I got the mod) and what I've been messing around with trying to figure out the issues are an Ego-One tank with 1 & .5 ohm coils and my Plume Veil which I started with parralell coils at .6 ohms and now has a single coil at 1.4 ohms.
On both setups and all ohm levels mine reduces power down to the point it's not worth using and also the ohm reader will skip around and jump up! The tank and RDA both work perfect on other devises but this mod wants nothing to do with them! Also it doesn't matter on mine if it's completely charged or in pass through. I know my story's just a repeat of what's already been said but figured imd add to the collection.

another day gone by with the bt50 and vtc5 and ive had 0 problems

tried my torchy battery in it tonight and after 1 hours vaping its started turning itself down

The torchy is now resigned to me killing it in a fury of mech med sub ohming hell

My conclusions from the last 2 days -

2 Purple efest 35a I have used have suffered no wattage drop

1 vtc5 suffered drop @ 40% battery life

1 vtc4 suffered no wattage drop

There seems to be no rhyme or reason as far as I can see. Only used indoors as room temperature so mod hasn't got cold or anything.

All we can surmise is there's a problem with the VTC5. At least it seems to be working for you atm, but the real test would be higher power levels.

I am just about to build my mutation x this morning so will be looking to try and get it up to 65w build skills permitting so will see what happens!

Use the VTC4 for the test, I wouldn't recommend the efests over 50Watts.

Thanks I was going to. I don't use the efests about about 40w anyway. I do have some Samsungs from my last myepack order too but cannot for the life of me find them!

Now this leaves me in the quandary of either returning the m65 for a refund or taking a punt on a purple efest!

[jmw2309]

I would be inclined to return it. I wouldn't be inclined to spend out on a battery for it just based on my experiences as there seem to be some who have them with no issues at all and others who seem to get all the troubles. There doesn't appear to be any consistency at all.
