Solution to the power limitation at half load on the XPro M50 / M65

The Xpro M50 / 65 from Smok, I tested it, I liked it, and I acquired it… happiness. 

She accompanies me daily and my faith, I am very satisfied.
Very good value for money, compact and powerful, it does not lack arguments and I am sure that many of you have done like me! 

But voila, arrived at half of the autonomy of the battery, this nice companion puts herself in power limitation for a yes or a no.  
We then go from our cruising speed from 20/25 watts to 15, 12, 10… It's the descent into hell.

There, I said to myself: the business was too good, this is the Achilles heel of on-board electronics.
At the beginning, resigned to recharging it as soon as this phenomenon appeared or to increase the power to see it go down 5 minutes later, I came across an English video which gave a super simple solution to solve the problem.

You are interested ? Below… the solution to our problems folks.

So here it is: the problem comes from the chrome layer on the bottom cap. 

To begin, here is the material you will need:

  • A nail file, sandpaper, a fine file…. well, something to sand, what ...
  • The btr key provided with the box
  • A forest, a little rat's tail, or a screw screw flat, fine and sharp.

To start, we will take the bottom cap apart. Next, using the drill bit, we will scrape the chrome from the screw holes.

Scratch the inside gently so as not to damage the screw thread. Of course, we will repeat the operation on the four screw head supports.

Then we will move on to the other side of the bottom cap. The operation consists first of all in sanding the four corners of the bottom cap.

You get this result. Be careful not to damage the insulation of the chipset, the transparent film pointed at the following photo:

Finally, we take care of the negative pole.

I specify that the dark spot on the photo is my shadow.  : Mrgreen: 

There you have it, all you have to do is put back a battery, the bottom cap and you will fully enjoy this nice little box up to 3/4 of the minimum battery before the power limitation intervenes, exactly. title this time.

So it was the trick that I discovered on the net for you and incidentally for me too. 😳 

See you later friends.
