I'm not sure I understand the problem with pwm, but what puts me off at this point is that it seems no better than my Hana Modz clone. From reading the accounts on how this thing is working, or not working, it seems to operate in the same way. And do I need two mods the same. I think not. I'm happy with the Hana, and it does what I want it to do, but the technology needs to mature and evolve I think before I get another one.

Not sure if it is made clear in the vid, but to clarify, once it hits the TC limit, the mod just stops, it doesn`t regulate at all. To get more life out of it you have to repress the button until it stops again Normal VW is absolutely fine.

robby tell me if this makes sense, or if I'm just plain CRAZY. I believe Smok have dropped a classic boo-boo. I believe the ramp-up delay is down to current limiting, partly proved by the ramp being non-linear. This theory takes into account the resistance change (the curve to the ramp), though during the ramp-up this will be quite small anyway. As the resistance rises so does the power, until the point where it'll fire just fine. I also believe Smok's interpretation of temperature limiting is to remove power totally until the next firing. More thermal protection than temperature control. This is all theory based on what I'm seeing and my experience, but adds an edge to the conjecture. Or is it just my turn to talk bollox??

Makes sense to me Ripshod. I am even thinking it is simply a mod with internal overheat protection (may explain why it will pretend to read any kind of coil wire). The ramp up could be fixed with programming as it is definitely PWM. It will pretend to read kanthal (in the same way that it pretends to read NI200), you still get the ramp up with Kanthal. It is really pretty crap of a company the size of SMOK to release it when THEY MUST HAVE KNOWN how it performs. EDIT ................... but again this mod is super cheap for what you should get. Double the price would have been reasonable. It is released just before the Chinese holiday and sold in thousands all over the world. The cynic in me is thinking they did know but couldn`t lose all the money it cost to produce them.

Or wanted to jump on the band wagon when they saw others coming out and about to steal their thunder, and be late to the party. By coming out at that price point they were likely to see the shelves cleaned out pretty quickly. Shame they f'd up and produced a donkey.

The question with this now it has come to light that there is NO TC on this mod is that, are the vendors selling this first version going to be removing the feature from their product page or at least add some sort of disclaimer to the M80's advert to aid future customers on making a decision whether to buy it or not on the strength of this feature that clearly does not work. Just a thought guys n girls.
