do it ... temp control seems to work until the juice is gone then its like full force .... 410 degrees on the smok felt the same as 410 degrees on the vaporflask clone using the kanger nickel occ heads ... just mind your wick as usual and its a pretty consistent vape and i am loving the mech mode also , this thing will be my everyday carry forsure
Me too! I bought the gold one at the same price! MVS was first to offer the XPro. So far so good, and I like that the XPro runs forever on its built-in batteries!
If it's working for you in the manner that you want it to that's all that matters in my opinion anyway
I haven't given up on the XPro or the Gimlet Clouds Tank (GCT). I haven't given up on SMOK. As for the GCT, if the Ni200 coils aren't up to snuff, I can always buy a DIY coil for $7 and then replace the stock wire with Ni200. There are usually ways to work around or with an issue.
Hello I'm new to the site,just figured I'd give my opinion on the Smok X Pro M80 Plus...
Bought this great box today,I was a little disappointed because I orig bought a Clopor 30w Mini and this was my first box mod...I had some issues 3 days in with the Mini the fire button took shit on me wasn't able to use the device basically,so off to the store I went to return. I go into the shop explain situation and wanted another Mod instead of going with another Mini. I took my store credit and got the X Pro and I was a little mislead because I had the 65w with a interchangeable battery in hand,but got the whole sales pitch about the 80w has 2 18650's 4400 Mah blah blah blah...I tried both devices and liked the idea of the battery life longer between charges etc so I went with the 80..Well the mislead part came after I was told I can put a higher Mah battery inside and get even more juice,well we all found out that the battery wasn't interchangeable at the same time. The extra cost for this mod and already taking it out of the package finding that out I was a little more then upset. I would assume that the shop would have known this info or did and just wanted the sale which is shady,from a shop which usually isn't. So that's my story im kinda stuck with it now,but I do actually really like the device. The features on the Mod are great,I've been vaping all day and battery hasn't budged at all drain wise so I know this really is a device that's not gonna leave you connected to a socket. The temp control feature does have an update through Smoktech.com/ to fix any concerns about that. The device is a "Smart device" with updates to be announced through Smok. It goes in .1 increments very quickly,pressing up or down and holding goes from lowest setting to highest in about 8/9 seconds which is very nice. Another thing that's a plus is the fact that there is next to 0 lag between fire button and Vape production (Not the case with most mods I've tried out or bought) Cloupor Mini 30w was horrible between Fire button press and actual fire. There is a whole menu in this device I haven't gotten into yet with tons of options to make sure your Vape is plentiful and pleasant. I most likely am gonna use this 80w for dripping and if things work out buy the 65w for battery replacement I'm def not pleased in the battery being non interchangeable. It's such a well made device that it will be a total shame when I gotta toss it in the trash for 69.99 it did def piss me off a tad,I would have went with the 65w not knowing which is partially my fault for not doing full research to the shops fault for not knowing what products do what in their showcase...That's about the only thumbs down I can give the device as of now,is it worth buying? Id say yes...It feels very sturdy not gonna slide out of your hands has nice grooves on backside of device for sure grip,it's not to big,but not small either it's kinda perfect actually for the power this thing kicks out...
So basically my pros and cons here and you can decide yourself before you make the leap,esp for online purchase and not being able to actually hold device in hand like I did.
Pros/ Made very sturdy,large battery capacity,80w of power with smart memory if you change tanks and different builds etc no adjustment is needed it auto adjusts to give you same power,Vape etc without finding "sweet spot",Temp control (After download firmware fix) regulate automizer temps between 200*-900*F,it does have a pass through charge,puff counter (for those who care),12 second cut off feature,you can also set date and time on lcd screen pretty cool.
Cons/ Non replicable battery...Eh for a 70.00 battery basically I better get 7months out of this thing at least...

Guess we'll all find out how long the M80 batteries will survive. After they die, the M80 will make a nice paperweight. Maybe the passthrough function will still work, in which case it can still be used even after the batteries die. In the meanwhile, I'm enjoying mine. Even though it catches dry cotton on fire, I think there is some temp control...otherwise why would it shut off when temp is reached? Mine is the first run (I see v0004 when I press the reset button) and I plan to leave it as v0004 for awhile. The upgrade to v0005 doesn't fix the dry burn issue. It doesn't fix anything I care about so I'm not messing with it.
The question is, "what else would I buy for about $60?" Temp control clones (Hana, Vapor Shark, Vapor Flask) or the M80. Non temp control mods are legion...

Once you choose, then you will want to justify your choice, even if it wasn't the best. And, in today's flood of technology, what seems like a good choice today might not look so good tomorrow. As for the XProM80, I'm vaping on mine with the Gimlet Clouds Tank that is intended for the M80 (the two are often pictured together). If I hadn't heard about the failed burn test, I would assume the M80 works fine. It has its quirks, but what device doesn't? I start out with a slow exhale into the drip tip until I see vapor puff out, then I inhale steadily until I begin to really taste the juice. Then I release the button and exhale a magnificent cloud of vapor (well, not bad for a factory-made coil...the 0.2 Ni200 coil, that is).
And...I have a first run (v0004) unit, which I might or might not upgrade. It works well enough for me, so why not keep it as is? After everyone else upgrades to v0005 or beyond, mine will be the only v0004 left in existence...which will make it extremely rare and valuable!!

Well my M80 just shit the bed, in wattage mode it won't go over 3 volts. I tried multiple attys on it ranging from .2 to 1.9 ohms. I used the reset and restarted it. It will however go over 3 volts in mech mode, I'm thinking a chip issue. I have emailed the vendor to try and get it taken care of. This sucks
If you have the v0004 (when you pin the reset it will tell you) you can upgrade to v0005. Maybe that will fix it. I've used mine in wattage mode with a 1.8 ohm tank, and now in temp mode with a 0.2 ohm tank. Both work fine. Mechanical mode doesn't seem necessary to play with. To upgrade seems complicated via the USB but I would do it if I needed to. I don't feel the need to do it yet.
Mine just quit working all I get is check atomizer did the reset 5 times tried 6 different tanks made no difference. Worked great for three weeks Emailed Vendor last night will see. Watched a video last night of a guy that did the same thing on two different units fried board is what he said.

Well I let it charge to 100% overnight and now it is working properly, for the time being. When it happened it was at 72%, now to let the battery drain and see if it happens again. I actually upgraded to the v0005 a few weeks ago.
Yea I not gonna bother with any upgrades either like Woods says...I use it for what I need and thankfully works great. I do run into every once and a while seems like in the middle of firing it stops or delay almost..I know that the Cloupor 30w mini has a .05 second delay between pressing the fire button and actual vape production,but this will be press fire starts cooking and then nothing for .05 second then continues to fire again?? I don't know if this is something an "Update" would fix or its not even a problem to begin with. It's hard to duplicate I can't do it on command,it just seems to happen every so often. I have the Sub Tank Mini on my XPRO 80w which eh I'm not so pleased with. I was at first cause it was a big upgrade from what I had,but now I'm not a fan with continuous use. Coils seem to not last long at all even at considerably low wattage 15-17w for 1.2 ohm and 22.5-25w for 0.5 ohm coils I'm going through coils every couple days,the rebuild is ok but the holes for juice to coil is way to small and dry burns happen more then I like...I'm gonna get a dripper most likely and ditch the rebuild frankentanks but I like that the XPRO will make for an easy transition...
I think the upgrade makes it more responsive, more like a DNA40. I don't care about response time. It works if I work with it. Meaning, I press the button, exhale slightly into mouthpiece until I see a puff of vape, then inhale until the display dims (when the display dims it means it has shut off). But I do have to admit the DNA40 works better overall. Sorry that some are having big issues with the M80...if mine fried I would be upset, also.

You can possibly do it, but it wont be a breeze. It is two LiPo batteries that are soldered in at the top of the mod.

It does that as the battery gets low(A quirk with the Smok chip). Just turn down the watts a bit till the volts go back up is all you can do.

You can always revert back to the old firmware whenever you want. The program you download for it has factory rest saved after connecting the device. Pretty nifty actually. There is no reason not to update the firmware. I have some Nickel wire coming to me in a couple days to test out the TC function. I'll let y'all know how it goes.
I have one haven't try the temp Control yet.
But I saw a vid on it and they did a what they call the 420 test.
He he compared it with a vapor shark and Dana 40 clone. And you put cotton in and dry fire it. The smok m80 caught the cotton on fire while the other 2 didn't burn the cotton.
I got cause of the temp control but EVEYTHING works fine. If you are looking for a mod with that feature this is not the one.

have you opened yours up ? the pack is just wedged in there ... from what i see you could just clip the leads at the battery and yank it out
The failed cotton test is a concern. Yet there is some level of temp control in the M80. Pressing the fire button causes a gradual rise in the temperature reading. When the set temp is reached, the unit shuts off. But WHY didn't it shut off with the dry cotton test? Did the tester press the button again after it shut off? Nevertheless, the M80 is a less user-friendly TC mod than any of the the DNA40 clones (same price range of $60-$90).
After owning an M65 which was finicky as all hell, I wouldn't dare buy this. Smok tends to be 99% fail anyway. I'd rather have a regular DNA40.
Authentic DNA40...looking at $200 plus...I'm considering what is possible in the "under $100" range...BUT if I were to move into the $200 range, I would visit the Hana Modz site and look at the V4dual s.i. (slight cosmetic imperfection) for $179 + $10 s&h = $190, or for an extra $30 skip the s.i. version (I have an s.i. and the imperfections were worth saving $30)...

between the hana clone , the vapor flask clone and the xpro m80 , for temp control use i would say the hana clone is the most reliable , my vaporflask clone is weak sometimes other times its hitting like it should but the hana clone has been the same everytime and for the xpro , i figure if im still watching my wicks why not just run kanthal
My Hana clones are working just as well as my authentic Hana...so far. I have two pack style V3 clones (single 18650) mods plus one authentic Hana V4 single 18650. The dual 18650 is a better idea. Not sure if Hana clones offer dual 18650 options yet...

it seems like the chip in my hana clone behaves a little more like im assuming the authentic does .. not sure who made the chip but it seems better then the kangxin . BUT the first hana clone i recieved died after 2 hours lol
The only way to know is to have a clone and an original. Bummer that your first clone died. There seem to be a variety of clone types. I ordered two from 3FVape (they are now out of stock). One had "Made in USA" embossed into its case; the other did not. Both are doing well after a couple weeks of regular use (I don't vape above 25 watts). My genuine Hana is also doing well (and seems to feel flattered that the clones want to imitate it...although the clones are V3 and the genuine is a V4). NOTE: If you want a genuine, Hana has s.i. units for $30 less ($180 for a V4 dual)...

Im finding that temp control just doesnt provide a satisfying vape for me ..i have the ipv4 preordered but i will most likely usw it as a vw mod not a tc mod even.if tc works
Just like some stayed with mechanical mods after VV VW appeared....I ended up following temp control so will continue. I never sub ohmed prior to my GCT and M80. So I don't know what that world is all about.
well,anyway,smok xpro m80 plus,just $60 per set,built-in 4400mah battery,not bad quality,even the temperature control function not good as DNA40,will try

Well I don't know if it is a design defect or on my particular piece but at .5 ohms the m80 won't fire over 3.1 volts when set to 26 watts. At 25.9 watts it fires at 3.8 volts. Also on a .3 build set to 46 watts it won't fire over 3 volts. That is at full charge in wattage mode. I was very disappointed because I really liked the box. I did do they update and I can't remember but I didn't notice the problem until after I did it. I contacted they seller and have allowed a return. I really loved the battery life.
Maybe but idk he was using his subtank nano on it, it worked great for about 15 minutes and then stopped wanting to fire and would display the error message

I've had my Smok M80+ (Grey) for about 2 weeks now and I use it solely for a out of the house vaping experience. I just toss on a kanger subtank mini and I'm good to go for at least 8-10 hours (on a .2 coil no less). Running at 50 watts (430 temp) and it's fine, couldn't be happier with what I paid for mine ( under $55 shipped and got it less than 8 days from China! - heavengifts.com )
Ordered mine on Thursday from Vaportekusa and it arrived promptly Saturday morning from SC. to Md. I was afraid it was going to be back stock but to my surprise it came stocked with version 006. It is a beautiful little machine. Especially when compared to the giant Tesla 120 I've been lugging around. It came with a 78% charge so I plugged her in and built coils. I have been running this thing since noon. I work nights so I'm still up it's 5am and I'm showing a little more than half charge remaining. And I've been really working this thing. My builds were as follows; Orchid v6 26ga .71ohm dual coil, Orchid v4 30ga 1.41ohm spaced dual coil, Plume Veil 26ga .65ohm spaced dual coil, Nimbus 30ga .52ohm single chain coil. All wicked with Japanese cotton. By the time I was done she was fully charged and more than ready for action.I didn't really buy it for the temp control, I bought it for the 80 watt pocket rocket for 59 bucks aspect. Didn't really care about tc or I would have ordered ni200 along with. Didn't care until I saw I had 006. Order has been placed for 100ft 28ga ni200. Should be here by Wednesday and I have a few Ideas on how to make this thing work. If I come up with something useful I will post results.

I just ordered a new one after returning one that would not go over 3 volts regardless of watts/ohms. I really liked it and hope the new one with the version 6 will be without any issues.
On mine seems like the threads on the 510 seem a little Jenkee.
I haven't try the tc yet.

So i have found that the best build on this mod is supper sub ohm builds. I have a .16 and .2ohm build i use on this. My mod reads .1ohm higher than normal. So even when it decides to ratchet down the volts i get a good amount of clouds from these setups no matter how low the battery is. And the temp control on this is a joke as stated already. I have nickel wire on standby when i get the real deal eventually. btw everyone, the ipv4 is NOT temp control either form what i am finding so far.
I have had this device for about a week now, shipped with version 6, no ramp up issues, no dry hits, nor any of the other complaints I have read. So far, it has been a pretty dependable device, and I am comparing it to the iStick 50 watt. I would even go as far as to say better than the 50 watt and at a near same price point (cheaper per my purchases). Not sure why I see so many comparisons with this device and the vaopershark DNA40, because in my opinion, 2 totally different levels of product, must be the temp control. But still... I am really impressed with the device thus far. I have used the Atlantis, Troll RDA, and Kanger Sub Mini with the mini RDA flawlessly on this devices.
Which brings me to this forum, I stopped by my B&M today and grabbed a pack of .2 Kanger Nickle Coils and tried'er out in Temp Mode 450f, it was nearly the same experience and I did not notice any change in vapor or flavor. So I am wondering, nickle coils are said to only be used in temp control with primarily DNA40 devices. Any concerns I should be mindful of with nickle vs. kanthal if the temp control is not really working?
