Yeah I figured as much, you just never hear someone talking about 'true current' as its confusing. Whole thing does make sense. I think it's worth reiterating here that connections at both ends of the mod should be given attention (in my case it didn't a actually seem to be the negative end, but the positive end needing attention). What an awful design flaw to put into production!?

Handy vid. I'm quite happy that the problem at this stage seems to be a fixable design flaw, rather than crap circuitry or components (not that I think this budget device is using top notch bits anyway). To be nit picky... why is the guy in the vid constantly talking about current passing from the negative/earth terminal of the battery? Is he confused or am I?

Hello all Just over a year on the vape for me now, and getting progressively deeper into build twiddling and cloud chasing. Having some training in audio electronics made the switch to the hobbyistic world of electric nicotines extra easy and fun. Hope to participate in some good discussions here, my first post actually came as I felt the need to share that I'd "fixed" my smok xpro m65. As much fun as I enjoy the control of circuitry oriented mods, i can see myself heading toward mech sooner rather than later. Oh for what it's worth, running a Subtank, after having a couple of Kayfun Clones - boy do I love the Subtank

Cheers. Will do that now.
Very interesting the way the performance of this device slowly deteriorated though. I was "losing" about 5W max power per week on fully charged Efest 3100's. It now happily fires at 50W even around 40% capacity. I'm wondering if the deterioration could indicate something; connectivity slowly getting worse presumably, but how? I actually did adjust the positive pin slightly also.

Hi, sorry to revive an old thread, this may be of use to some though, so I joined just to repsond to this. I bought this mod and had it grind to a halt over the first three weeks - power reduced, check atomiser, weak battery, glitching screen... til the point it just wouldn't work at all. Plugwashes ^^ advices got my mod working again perfectly. I dont think its to do with juice, more to do with connectivity or earthing. I took the top plate off and put it back on again, thats about it. But as an addition... I also emailed Smok quality feedback and got this response: Thanks for choosing SMOK product. There are 2 way that might help with this issue, please refer to the below details. Hoping this info is of use to some people. I have read so many frustrated posts on forums regarding this mod, but if it works as advertised, its a great box for its cost. Will report back on any changes. Cheers
