Drag 2 spontaneously changing wattage

[Vinnybagodoughnuts]

I have had this mod for a month.I first thought it was defective because if I answered yes to a new coil it would automatically change my set wattage.I looked into it and discovered the chip sets a "suggested "wattage when you do that.I thought that was really dumb but it is what it is. Recently the mod has been spontaneously changing the wattage and it has given me some nasty hits and literally burned up 2 coils. I guess the mod is defective. Am I correct in assuming that unless you hit new coil the mod should not allow it to fire at a different wattage? Since I have been paying more attention I have noticed it does not even ask if it's a new coil for it to change the wattage.I have updated the firmware with no effect. This thing is downright dangerous. For perspective I am vaping a .50 ohm coil at less then 20 watts.The device changes the wattage to 65!!!!!!!

Is there any way to turn this "smart" feature off??

That's not normal! I don't know if you can turn it off. Does it change wattage while you're pressing the fire button and taking a hit or when you first turn it on? My Drag 2 doesn't do that. Ever. Good luck! Hopefully the Voopoo rep will know what's going on and will have a fix for you.

If its still under warranty I'd contact your vendor. Don't wait till you can't return it!

Sounds broken to me

I was hoping I would get some kind of response from Vopoo here but I did start a ticket with Fastech. It seems to be happening when it is waking up. The dangerous thing is it is doing it without asking for the up/down button to be pressed.It just changes wattage I fire it and.....Blech!!!!!

@Vinnybagodoughnuts, I think that you can tweak Voopoo mods with their PC software. But I'm not 100% sure.

I tried that.There apparently is no way of shutting down the "smart" feature.

Sorry I'm not of much help @Vinnybagodoughnuts.

But like you, I'd have thought that you would be able to disable the smart feature.

Just thought I would update this. Apparently this problem is not unique as others have also experienced the same thing.It has happened with all 3 of the Drag mods I own.I have since thrown them all away.I have never gotten so many dry hits in my 6+ years of vaping.
