A bit short sighted in terms of their reputation if that is the case. Even the Chinese consider reputation to be important. But it seems very strange they would put out a product that clearly doesn't work. They must test at least one of them on the production line, I would have thought. Or maybe they didn't and the whole board is bad from their supplier and they blindly built them.

I dont believe it, the pricing doesn`t make any sense at all (unless you simply HAVE to get them shifted), if it had been £60 it would still have been a bargain if it actually did what it said on the tin

[Bobsbeer]

Which makes you think they knew it didn't work, but had to sell the first batch. What's the betting if they can get it to work the price will rise dramatically.

Update been released and improves ramp time a million times better

[Q]

Well I'm still hanging on for mine, I'm trusting that alex05 WILL keep his side of the bargain, its my first time for Evkoo but unless I have a regular update on what is happening and WHEN it could easily be my last, I never have this trouble with FT & Focalecig

Sure we will keep the bargin.

Information from Smoktech states that the release date for the XPro M80 has been delayed due to temperature control malfunctions within the chip. ETA for this product is late March or even next month. Smok is trying to resolve this issue. We have no control over the manufacture and we apologize for the inconvenience. If you do not wish to wait for this item and would like to cancel your pre order, please PM me.

For those who bought and received the first batch M80, here is the official tutorial to solve the temperature control issue smoktech.com/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=10019

[Bobsbeer]

Reading between the lines of what alex05 is reporting from Smok, the problem is in the chip rather than the software. Which while good for future production, makes me wonder that the initial batch should be recalled to have the chip replaced, rather than a bodge job of resetting the software version. I don't know how many were issued, but I would be pissed off if I had one and the newer versions worked as it should.

The fact that they are quoting the same video on the SMOK webpage "fix" that proves it still doesn`t work is pretty disturbing lol. The "ramp up" is fixed, but it still burns wicks. It speaks volumes that it is the best thing they can find. "The Vapor Chronicles" guy is way too kind on SMOk about the fact that it still does not work

The mod is cheap and Istick money and tbf I think it's a great mod yes it has flaws but doesn't a lot of mods have flaws?

flaws or bulls**t ?

[robby]

99% of new mods do what they say in the blurb by hook or by crook, this is the other 1%. A massive fail at temperature control both before and after the firmware update and a massive hit on SMOK`s future credibility, especially with the failure of the update.

[masteedman]

Firmware was only for ramp time, temp mode is flawed tbf they should of done a lot more testing but if there was no temp mode would you still buy it?I'm just saying I like the little mod even with a flaw

[decoy]

have to admit 80 watts in a small cheap mod tiss a little interesting
do it do the dropping of watts on its own like the 60
apart from the tc not working would you buy this or not
cause i think i wants one
