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.

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. |

No idea River, but this ohms business is news to me. With the sprung 510 (does the BT50 have a sprung 510?) and what I've seen of the wiring it shouldn't happen, or at least it shouldn't be cause by the mods. We already know things can happen to an atty on one mod, when it doesn't on another. Look at the bother we had with TC on the DNA40. |

Noone has mentioned varying ohms up til now. That would definitely cause problems. Mine has shown 0.3ohms since the day I got it and built my fogger for it. If ohms was to jump upwards when firing you'd burn the juice(?)
Cold definitely would cause a problem by increasing voltage sag on the battery. But the question is how cold? If it's room temperature it shouldn't be causing a problem as that's roughly the point performance starts to drop with the temperature. The batteries are specced at either 20o or 23o, I know LG test their batteries at 23o, plus or minus a couple.

As an aside on my ipv2 the battery meter drops out completely when firing then come back when the button is released so I assume this is normal behaviour? Would seem so, just seen my hana clone (HE4) do the same. I presume it's down to voltage sag, I've never actually watched them while vaping before. eFest 35Amp = LG HE2. See how it goes m8. If it's better then I'd be cautious with that VTC5. (I didn't like saying that, we all trust that vendor) |

It's almost the weekend. By the traditional pattern activity actually restarts on a Monday, sometimes over a week after the end of the holiday. I guess they have to employ peeps to replace those that can't be bothered coming back at all.

As an aside - the battery metering issue. Batteries get rejected 'weak battery' at or around 3.4 Volts, where they should be. We've seen when we plug the charger in it shows around 25% charge.
The meter in the display reflects the usable power left in the battery, whereas the charge reading seems to be calibrated around 2.8 Volts for some reason - a 2.9Volt battery shows as 6% and a 2.8 shows 0%, rising to 2% after just one minute charging.

Right, to throw a spanner in, I have a purple efest in mine. I have an atlantis on top @30w. The battery level line is hardly visible but it has not dropped the wattage. I did reset it before I put the battery in. I do however note a pause in the firing when I hold the button to vape for more than 5 or 6 seconds. Wtf is going on with this thing I don't know! If it's pausing for a time it may be that you're hitting the 'weak battery' and it needs charging. I've been a little OCD on this and I've seen the battery meter drop when firing then recover after - even with a good battery. Yay to the 'efest'  - is that the '35Amp'? I'll wager it's still going back though!!  |

I let my bank do it. They don't charge and I'm getting $1.55 per pound (atm). It adjusts every hour for any changes too.
Still, a good rate for paypal thumb up

All these mods going back will make them more of a rarity. Wonder how much working ones will be worth, with their batteries, in 6 months time.

At least it's a real professor, citing real research We still need a lot more like this to redress the balance, but at least this chap - a professor at the Boston University School of Public Health - has some weight behind what he's saying.

Yh, I've been thinking about that. Maybe it's too soon for this sort of thing - but then I always look at the lighter side, saves getting depressed.

thanks for all the welcome posts Welcome aboard antz1970. Not to worry about the M80, still a good mod without the TC.  and yeah it is still a decent mod i suppose but it could have been a lot better too , fingers crossed that smok may patch it , If they patch it and it works they may just have another buyer |

- is that the '35Amp'?
