Introduction
Vaporesso enter the Pod Mod arena in style with the Target PM80, a sub-ohm DL device which is also compatible with the Vinci coils. The Target comes with 2 pods, 2 different sub-ohm mesh coil heads and offers plenty of functionality with a menu system. Powered by the popular Axon Chip it fires in an instant and as well as Variable Wattage, Smart Wattage and Variable Voltage modes also detects the coil to give recommended wattage parameters while also having a 7 day puff counter to give a puff monitoring solution. With 4ml (2ml TPD) clear pods for easy visibility of your juice and comfortable proprietary drip tip the Target PM80 which comes in a bunch of colour/design options is well worth a look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
I received The Red version, it comes in 6 colour options with a Gunmetal Zinc Alloy chassis but we also have a further 4 options with a Silver frame. I like the aesthetics and form factor of most of the Pod Mods we have seen enter the marketplace but in my opinion Vaporesso have knocked the ball out the park with the Target PM80, i will let the pictures and comparison photo do the talking!
The only possible con i can see with it's aesthetics to some is the Chassis is a fingerprint magnet so some might of preferred a matte finish!
Target PM80, Smok RPM40, Vinci X, Aegis Boost!

The Pod
You receive 2 pods which is a pro and the capacity is 4ml or 2ml if you have the TPD compliant pods. The top of the pods have a slanted flat top with fixed proprietary drip tip very much like the Podstick pods but just larger and with a wider bore.
The pods are clear and with a combination of how much of the pod protrudes from the top of the device and the large airflow cutouts on both sides of the device we have very good visibility of the e-liquid.
Moving to the base and we can see the coils will be just press fitted into place and we also have 2 very large round magnets. To one side is a really chunky fill bung which can be easily lifted and then turned (it stays attached to the pod) to reveal a very large fill port which allows air still to escape when most sized nozzles are inserted so the pod can be filled quickly and mess free, the bung fits deep giving a really good seal. Although having to remove the pod to fill isn't perfect i like the fill method and i had no flooding or leaking after filling or refilling the pod.

The coils
You receive 2 different Nichrome Mesh coils and also a coil head specs card is included giving detailed specs. We have the 0.3ohm GTX mesh coil head which is rated between 32w to 45w and the 0.2ohm GTX mesh coil head which has a rating of 45w to 60w, the bore on the 0.2ohm coil is just slightly wider.
The coils look the same style and size as the Vinci coils and in fact they are interchangeable which can only be a good thing giving more options and coil availability.
The coil head just get press fitted into the pod where it secures onto the air pipe via an o-ring with another o-ring sealing the fit at the base, either side we have part of the coil protruding and large air intakes to allow plenty of air to the centre of the coils.
___________________________________________________________________
Fitting The Pod
Looking inside the pod's bay we can see the two Gold plated, spring loaded contacts on a small raised rectangular section and 2 large magnets, also visible on the sides are the large airflow cutout sections.
The pod fits very securely and has no movement whatsoever, in fact it's quite difficult to get grip to give a strong enough pull to remove upwards so the trick is to put your finger behind the drip tip and pull forward which in conjunction with the slope of the fit lifts the pod free, really like this a lot!
___________________________________________________________________
The Airflow
The air gets access to the base of the coil head via 3 large cutout sections either side of the device and despite some plugs being included it's a bit of an archaic method to really credit the device as having adjustable airflow. For me the coil heads included suit the open airflow but you do receive 4 plugs so plugging one side will give a more restrictive draw but when plugging both sides it didn't suit the coils at all, i suppose it's a better solution than some trying to reduce airflow by putting their finger over the openings!
