I usually vape on 20-25 maximum but i wanted to try 50 watts but when i pressed the button the battery started flashing and showed me that the battery died for few seconds and then it got back to normaln what does this mean? I use a 18650 5000 mah 3.7v battery.
And also when i vaped on 30 watts like 3 times i felt like i something burned my lips it heated.

The battery you are using is not good for use in vaping at high wattage. It is ICR chemistry and doesn't have enough amps to safely vape at 50 watts.

#9. Battery Basics for Mods: The Definitive Battery Guide for Vaping
  • A popular and essential read to understand which batteries are safe to use in mechanical and regulated mods. Includes a frequently updated list of recommended safe-chemistry, high-drain batteries with their specifications.
The Subox Mini needs a 20A CDR (continuous discharge rating) battery.

Here are some options for 20A batteries (in descending mAh):
  • LG HG2 3000 mAh 20A CDR
  • Samsung 30Q 3000 mAh 20A CDR
  • Sony VTC5 2600 mAh 20A CDR
  • LG HE2 or HE4 2500 mAh 20A CDR
  • Samsung 25r 2500 mAh 20A CDR

A 5000 mAh battery isn't going to have anywhere the ampacity needed to vape at even 30 watts, never mind 50. What happened is, when you pushed the button the battery was hit so hard it failed to maintain voltage and the mod shut down. Go and get a Samsung 25R for that mod and it will work at 50 watts. That doesn't mean it will be able to push your currently installed coil to that power, or that you will like it if it can, but the mod will work.
