Smok Xpro M50

I have heard about the wrong ohm readings. I don't have that either. Mine has read as expected on everything I put on it.
I alternate between them just fine. Didn't do a output reading (in mech mode), but (and this might be a blight on the mech I'm using
), it performs exactly like my mech (which I like btw)..So more to report.
This mod seems to not manage battery power efficiently. I ran it all day at 50w by around 4pm my VTC5 was at around 20% and the mod refuses to fire at 50w, throttles down to 45w. On a 0.7(0.6) build @ 50w it shouldn't be such a huge drain on this battery, only around 3ml used in the billow. I've used 0.7 builds @ 50w in my IPV2 and 2s and after finishing about 4.5ml(orchid) the battery is around 50%. Also my 0.7 coil sometimes reads 0.5 and you feel it immediately because the vape has lost a lot of 'ooomf'
So yesterday I sent quite a polite email to SMOK asking if there will be an update as the mod isn't reading resistance correctly and this is the reply I received.
Maybe he's trolling? This device reads PREMADE Atlantis coils @ 0.4. Also I have 3 ohm readers and all tell me my billow is 0.73 yet it reads 0.6 on the M50

I think you u might have a dud, which might point at some QC issues rather than a bad device? Mine reads the Atlantis right as well as all my other builds. The only time I see differences are with possible rounding issues because of the single digit resistance display.So more to report.

As for battery life, mine comes in very close to what steam engine predicts.
Really sorry you are not experiencing my joy
Possibly the batch I received is defective. Because I tried 3 of them and all perform identically.I think you u might have a dud, which might point at some QC issues rather than a bad device?

Jeez.. I am starting to think I was just lucky
That Billow does look good on there!!!
Just to add here, My Smok M50 is also running very accurate, compared to Ohm Tester, Been perfect so far. Sucks that you are having issues with yours.
Maybe.. But he loves it and thinks it's one of the best VW devices he's ever owned.. "just fantastic" (with Scottish accent)

Still loves it, but problems @ 1:50
1. Poor battery life
2. Bad ohm reader
and he's gone one step further, his fire button fell out lol

This chap does a very good job explaining another problem I have with this device I run a VTC5 in it and this battery will happily fire @ 50w on an IPV2 until its around 10% but in the Smok I start see the device go down in wattage as soon as the battery level goes below 50%. Quite lame

i noticed something yesterday when the battery went flat on my 1.1 ohm Lemo
When i put it on charge and it started charging, it said the battery was 38 %
I would have thought the battery would have been more flat than that
Unless it wasnt reading it properly
I wanted to pull out the battery and check its voltage but didnt feel like taking out the screws etc
Incidentally, I estimate i got about 4ml of juice at about 15 Watts on that 1.1 ohm coil
That seems reasonable i guess for this 2500 mah EFest 35A.
Will see how it goes in future

That is actually quite bad, I know some people are happy with this device. But I keep finding annoying issues with it. When I got my IPV2/V2s/Sig 100+ etc the performance has always been flawless. Maybe I'm spoilt, I understand the M50 is quiet a cheap device, which is cool but doesn't mean it should have this many drawbacks, after all you can get an IPV2 for the same price these days and it will outperform this thing any day of the week
@Philip Dunkley i agree i have no issues with my m50.mine is working perfect.im blowing clouds like a beast
Has there been any clarity on the question around the upgrade to 65w being done outside of the factory?
No word yet, but I'm sure @Derick or @Melinda will let us know the moment they hear anything. Even though the upgrade may have to be done by Smok themselves it might be worthwhile if we get a bunch together and group send them if need be
The upgrade also includes pass-through, or rather the ability to vape while charging...that alone makes the upgrade worthwhile IMO.
Totally, let's pay R300 to ship it to them

Hi Guys,
I spoke to my supplier and apparently you need a specific machine to upgrade the Smok M50 to the M65, Smok has shipped 1 of these machines to USA and 1 to UK.
Nothing yet to South Africa so lets take a vote as to who thinks we will actually get these machines?
