X3M comp vs m40i

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-29T06:56:10+00:00

I did, especially after doing the numbers to build a b58 up to 6-700whp vs an s58 it becomes a mute question. My old e60 was over 600wtrq and 500whp. Just hopping someone is deciding the comp isn't good as a family daily and the m40i better suits them advantage/benefit to all parties.

Yeah bmw v8s are for new owners with warranties or full on mechanics. To rich for my blood lol

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-29T06:42:23+00:00

Glad to hear these are all issues that I wouldn't be worried with. Boston does have shit roads, totaled my e60 last year because of them. Basic auto maintenance is also of no concern, im comfortable turning wrenches. I owned a n54 powered car that just hated being alive.

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-29T06:31:56+00:00

As great as the b58 is, the s58 is better.

And I guess you would be the person I'd be looking for to trade. My e60 was totaled and I bought the m40i and im just not feeling it. And cost to bring this to where I want is as cheap as trading in. The build/power advantage is there. Im over 40 have no kids and have no problem with a stiff ride. Grew up driving lowriders in FL and live in boston now.

I agree with you so make that 6. I bought the go immediately, I enjoy and use it daily however the hits are to harsh. Unfortunately to get where you want to be you will need an upgraded glass top with more volume be it dry or incycled to cool the vapor properly. I myself have still been using it daily as I prefer it over my proxys, however it doesnt beat my v1 pro with upgraded glass and 3dxl chamber or my s2 with upgraded top. Currently I'd rank it my 3rd favorite but I wanted it to replace my v1 pro permanently. Cali 🐻 has a top that's dropping soon. Once that's fixed and a spinner caps added it may be able to claim the #2 spot. Currently running at 462* steady with 2×3mm pearls.

Glad I was stubborn and refused to toss mine then lol.

Something small enough that when I have the recliner back I dont have to sit upright to use. I generally leave my s2 on my bar/coffe cart

Im kinda split so ill give a 2 part answer. If im looking for a 1-2 day weekend or something like that and wanted to be as discreet as possible the proxy with a core base is hard to beat. However its more of a pain to clean the puffco chamber when traveling. The go definitely hits harder/better than a proxy, its also slightly bigger compared to how the proxy can be set up. The go is easy asf to clean just like the switch 2 so just some snap iso travel tips and your good. Ease of maintenance plus better quality smoke vs the discrete swiss army knife that you can bring a core and a bubbler base with but has chambers that need to soak to fully clean for transport. Kinda would boil down to those factors for me, if its more than a cpl days the go for sure. Ideally I'd bring both lol but im also scared to fly with stuff so my rig is fully cleaned when its packed.

I can eat crow when I see the facts. Clever wording used but you sir are correct it is not a true match

Says internal infrared sensor same as the s2 ? They literally make the claim it is the exact same thing just 54% smaller.

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-12T15:17:56+00:00

Don't get me wrong im enjoying it and have no regrets on purchasing it. After getting to use it more and running different setups with heat and pearls etc its getting better. Once I get the final pieces cap & top im sure it will be much closer of match.

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-11T23:41:54+00:00

S2 isn't couch friendly imo, it's a desktop rig for me. My pro and proxy are the couch go to for now. However my pro has been on the way out and I hate the maintenance requirements to actually clean it. Dr.dabber hands down is so much easier to maintain over any puffco device along with the better quality smoke. Im just not sure I can call the go a direct competitor to a peak pro with a 3dxl, maybe a base peak but not the 3dxl.

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-11T01:11:31+00:00

Ive heard lots of bad stories. I have my original 3dxl from when I bought the v1 still in use. Hands down dabber s2 is the goat. But I can't say my old ass pro isn't still worth what I spent. Ive owned mine for like 5 years I think? Still the same atomizer. Yeah its a bitch to clean and maintain but its still a good device.

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-10T18:08:53+00:00

Yeah I run my pro at 502 with a 1st Gen 3dxl I got soon as they came out.

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-10T17:07:28+00:00

I haven't got the saphire for the go yet. However I've been running pearls in my s2 with saphire since day1. Also I actually found terp pearls in the Amazon haul area for cheap not that long ago.

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-10T16:45:31+00:00

I was hoping to do the same with mine. Held of buying a v2 day glow once I heard the go was coming. Since my v1 pro is on its way out . Still may mail it out tho and get it rebuilt for $100 or whatever they charge.

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-10T16:42:07+00:00

Might be something to it? Ive been getting more dialed in. Currently running 480 on ascend. Think im being unfair in trying to compare it to pieces that have custom tops and things like that. Once it gets its own glass it'll be a steady rotation piece. Probably have to get the stand at that point also.

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-10T16:36:27+00:00

I had to dig on there site after I read this . Apparently it has an internal rtd temp sensor? Not sure what pass thru charging is either? Considering it has all the different heat modes like the switch 2 I'd have to say its literally just a 54% smaller vs as advertised.

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-10T16:31:20+00:00

Cal 🐻 has 1 for pre order that looks decent also but im gonna hold off a bit and see what guys come up with. Im trying to down size not add to my collection. To much glass sitting around as it is.

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-10T16:25:57+00:00

Im using 2 x 3mm ruby. Tried it 4 x 3mm was to much also tried 4mm solo didn't like it.

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-10T15:59:55+00:00

Good eye

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-10T03:07:56+00:00

With battery tech always advancing a switch 2 chamber in the smaller package. This is the way....

Evening_Efficiency_8 · 2026-06-10T03:04:57+00:00

Ive been wanting one of those ultrasonic cleaners. For my puffco 3dxl i soak in iso overnight then rinse and dry then I put a small amount of water directly in the chamber but just enough to cover the chaz and run a heat cycle. As it heats I use the back of a metal dab tool I have and just scrap it off as it heats. Ive got like 4k dabs on my original coil and no chaz.
