Perhaps some vapers would like the option, but to me this seems like an effectively pointless feature, more intended as a selling-point than something you’ll genuinely need or want. This sounds good on paper, unless you use that paper to do the math: with the 16 A limit on the device and a 0.2 ohm coil, the maximum wattage allowed is just over 51 W, meaning it offers very little above what you could do in the standard mode. The device also turns off, with the option accessible through the bare-bones menu on the device.Īn extra feature is mechanical mode, which offers the raw battery voltage in the same way as a mechanical mod. You can also use the M45 during charging (pass-through), which is a great feature for any vapers without a spare device. The device also has protection against short circuits, low resistance, high input voltage and high temperature, and you can lock it by pressing the fire button five times in quick succession (to protect against accidental activation).

Of course, there’s an in-built resistance checker, and the device will happily fire anything from 0.2 to 4 ohms, giving an ample spread of resistances for almost any vaper.

You can also pick up an M50, M65 or M80 Plus (packing 50, 65 and 80 W, respectively) if you need the extra power. Many comparable devices go up to 50 W or even higher, but unless you’re looking for something that packs serious power, it’s hard to see that being much of an issue. First off, you can adjust the wattage going to your atomizer from 6 to 45 W in 0.1 W increments, offering a wide range of powers that will be suitable for the vast majority of vapers.

The M45 has all the features we’ve come to expect from VV/VW mods and a little extra. You can pick it up in grey, silver, blue and pink from E-Cigarette Direct, with black and gold also available from other sellers. The appearance is pretty good, overall, not doing anything outlandish and keeping all branding to a minimum.

The body is aluminum, with “Smok” and “XPro M45” printed on the front and back, a series of grooves on one edge and a trench on the other, with the fire button, a flattened-oval screen and the “+” and “−” buttons to adjust the power lined up inside.

The M45 is a compact little device, measuring just 3 and 1/3 inches tall (85 mm), around 7/8 inches back to front (22 mm) and just over 1 and 14/32 inches wide (37 mm), making it more easily portable than many comparable options. The inclusion of the eGo adapter is a nice touch, giving you the option of using eGo-threaded clearomizers without having to pick up any extras or use a beauty ring when you’re using a standard 510 device (like you have to on the MVP, for instance). The Smok XPro M45 comes in a standard cardboard box, along with a small instruction booklet, a USB charging cable and an eGo adapter, meaning as long as you have an atomizer and some e-liquid you’re good to go.
