Hello friends, been awhile since I have visited this thread. Just gotta question, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
So my local vape shop gave me a 30 watt iStick today. Apparently the owner returned it for exchange because it was saying "protection" on occasion. So I brought it home, threw on my Orchid with a 0.5 ohm build, and it worked ok. Strangely, at 25 watts, it seems a little weak, and it also seems like the mod is getting warm. If I take it up past 27 watts, it says protection and wont fire. I tried to throw my tugboat on their at 0.35, and it says "atomizer." So I assume it will not go below 0.5.
Just wondering if anyone would know what could be the issue. I cleaned up the contacts, took the top off to check the pin and oring, as well as the wiring and solder contacts. All wire are clean and snug. I just don't understand why it says protection when I go above 27 watts on a 0.5 ohm build. And for some very strange reason, at 25 watts it seems rather weak. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
