Sigelei Kaos watt / volt runaway

[tommyboy66]

I have a Sigelei kaos spectrum and for the first 6 months I used it I had no issues.
But recently it hits incredibly hot and harsh, as if the wattage is way higher than I typically vape at, yet the watt readout is in the 50's/low 60's
I'm a light to moderate vaper and have been vaping for the better part of 3 years. I'm currently using the smok Big Baby tank.
I've been having to lower the wattage to low 40's to not tear my throat up.
What gives?
Is there a way to hard reset the mod?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Although I'm not familar with the Sigelei Kaos Spectrum, I have had similar issues with other devices when a coil wire is about to break. You might also check to see that the 510 pin on your Baby Tank has become loose.

I have noticed the 510 pin is quite loose. What does that do and is it repairable?

The 510 pin is the main connection between the atomizer and the mod battery. It's easily tightened with a small screwdriver. Sometimes they work loose over time.
