Thanks, will try that next time
Smok M65 (upgrade) experiences
- Thread starter RoRy13
- Start date
It happens on the BEC Pro as well, so is not unique to the M50. Also in traffic for me, and I assume it's due to my lazy-ass vaping style of just lightly pressing the fire button. I tend to take longer drags with 2-3 roughly 3 second long bursts of fire-release-fire-release, and it's mostly after the last one when I remove it from my mouth that I can hear the bugger still firing. Have a look at the screen, and yep, it's in the bluetooth menu...
Fortunately it doesn't happen all that often, but it seriously pisses me off that it is able to go into the menu while still firing the mod.
I usually end up attempting to unscrew the atty mid-flight, even if the 10 second cut-off timer does kick in, as I want to avoid any burnt taste from the coil at all costs.
All I can suggest to avoid this is that we 'man up' and firmly press the fire button when taking a toot
That should avoid the switch bounce effect when just lightly pressing the fire button. It seemingly starts a fire sequence and then somehow also registers a 3-button press sequence to activate the menu while the mod happily continues to fire. K@k software design, I know. Most programmers do not test or code for any 'extreme' scenarios, as shit like this never happens in their 'extensive tests' ( read limited and rushed like hell to get stuff out to the market ).
What is the actually the most annoying on the BEC Pro for me, is the fact that once it's switched on via the usual 5 push method, a 5 push sequence does not lock or switch the mod off. You can only do that via the menu again, so it's actually quicker to unscrew the battery compartment partially till it loses battery contact, and screw it back in. The mod then starts up in it's powered off mode again.

@free3dom, where are the instructions on how to replace the button?
Never had this happen, and not even sure how to get that going (I just tried, and failed).
Could it be the button getting stuck and it then registers the three clicks to enter the menu? Or maybe a short of sorts?
I recently replaced the button with the rubber one (thanks to your earlier instructions
RE: Autofiring
I don't own this device, but years of experience with all things electrical have taught me one thing. Many push button switches get stuck, most often because of dirt/grime that accumulates on the button face, and then works into the gap between the button switch and the "body".
Isopropyl alcohol available from most pharmacies and a fairly short bristle brush usually work wonders.

Start here...and then go down a couple of posts for some pictures
It's actually very easy - and I'm really liking the rubber button in there
65 w version works fine had mine for 2 weeks no problems ohm reader is accurate just like most box mods only thing i wish they did is add 2 more rubber button changes for the up and down voltage , and yes it dose lower the watts automatically for you as the battery gets drained ,otherwise for the price you really cant go wrong its 950 guys that's cheap for 65 watts
I have the M65 device and I have been using it constantly for the past 2 weeks. Coming from my trusty IPV 2S the size difference is incredible. I will say that there is definitely a difference in reading between the two devices, normally 0.1 out on the ohms. But it works brilliantly. I vape constantly at 35w without a problem of step downs on low battery and all the rest. As for the auto fire I have not experienced the problem yet myself but if I do I know what to do from now on. I will say this I have build my Billow and Orchid to the same resistance and compared the two. The IPV fires immediatly on both tanks but the M65 has a slight delay, the up and down adjustment buttons do rattle slightly if you shake the device but this doesnt bother me. What gets me everytime is how flush all my tanks sit on the M65. Nothing short of perfect! my IPV from day 1 had a slight lean to one side but this thing is just spot on.
Another thing I have noticed is vaping both devices for a full day, at the same wattage and resistance the M65 actually lasts longer than the IPV. I have no idea if its a size thing or what but both have VTC4's and I go through about 2 billow tanks a day and the Smok lasts from morning till I go to bed where the IPV needs a battery change by 6 o clock.
As for the menu on the M65. Locking the device and unlocking show the same message so there is always mass confusion when I am trying to unlock when I forgot to lock in the first place and so on, thats when I have to climb to the tallest mountain, gathering 4 blades of grass and consulting with the Old and Young Priest to unlock the dam thing! Lets just say I dont lock it anymore
All in all I love this little thing! The finish is by far better than any other device I have ever owned and it just chucks clouds all day!

I can vouch for Isopropyl alcohol, I've used it on the microswitches in my mechanical keyboard. Couple of drops with a dropper while the switch is pressed down, then push the switch quickly like 20-50 times to work the alcohol through the switch mechanism and dissolve the gunk, leave it for a little bit so the alcohol evaporates and the switches are golden again.
@Shuannadan this happened to me on my M50 several times and that is while sitting at my desk. Luckily @Melinda was kind enough to to refund me. Then I went ahead and bought the M50 (65 Watt) from Sir Vape, so far no issues but I am not using it that often. I reckon it bound to happen whether M50 or the 65watt upgraded one. The rubber button seems like a good option but I have not attempted to change it (cold feet).
The 0.1 discrepancy is due to the fact that the M50 uses two decimals internally and truncates the value for display (instead of rounding like other devices). So a 0.75 will be 0.7 on the M50 and 0.8 on most other devices. The M50 however will use the 0.75 internally for calculating voltage/power, where other mods generally use the 0.8 that is displayed - making the M50 more accurate
I changed to the rubber button tonight, and definitely prefer it to the original button
How would you describe the slight rattle? Because I received mine this morning, I hardly had time to put a battery in so it could charge, but the buttons seemed very loose, not like they would only rattle if you shake it, but whenever you move it. I'm just trying to determine, if I'm full of shit, or if my device is sub-par.
