SINUOUS P80

[ricks]

Thanks for the prompt answer, which color (or all in general will have the same problem)? I also read that some units come with not centered screen !?

The fourth option is vaporesso Armour Pro

but also it has it's own flaws

I'd get the vaporesso Armour... Looks and sounds awesome. It will be a little thicker in your hand but allowing you to use different size batteries is a good thing if you have them. I have 20700 batteroes that lasts a long time with 4250mah.

One more question for black and silver model owners. Is the silver color the color of the metal or it's colored and will peal? If that's the case I will probably get the black one.

On which one? The silver Primo and the P80 appear to be SS. Don't know what the Armour is but it looks SS also to me.

Thanks, I was talking about the P80, I will probably skip it, I like the looks, Arctic fox compatibility, but after watching and reading reviews there are too many things that I dont like. The biggest problem is that it looks like this product has very week build control, too many reviews with tilted screens, scratches and so on. Second, too many reviews with battery sag, and third few reviews where screen completely died after few months.

Hi,

I know it's a little bit an old topic but I'm new to vaping and I really like the look of this mod. I read all pages and watched few reviews but I have few question for you, real users.

How is the mod holding after few months of use? (chips, dents, does color fade, battery door problems, screen problems etc.?).

I'm in doubt which one to choose Wismec SINUOUS P80, Joyetech eVic Primo Mini 80W or Eleaf Pico 25, I will be using it only in low wattage with a Siren 2 atty (24mm)

Thanks in advance!

I've had the SS/Black P80 for 7 months. To be honest, the first one I got did have an issue with getting to the sub-menu for controlling the lights. My Freedom Smokes replaced it immediately. But since then, it's been bullet proof. A few tiny scratches on the ss, but nothing else. I wouldn't buy a painted mod anyway - I've never seen one that didn't chip/peel eventually. I don't own the others your considering, but have really liked the P80. It's a great size, looks good, and is really easy to just grab & squeeze to fire without having to fumble for a button. It also does TC very well, and the UI makes it really simple to change modes or adjust. And the battery door is convenient and held up well. The only reason it's not getting more use out of me now is that I recently got a smaller/lighter DNA mod. I only use small & light 1-battery mods. Oh, and at certain angles, the display board can look like it's not straight - because the way it's built, it is purposely angled slightly backward at the top - sort of leaning away from you.

Good luck with whatever you decide on. Here's pics from today- you have to zoom in to see minor scratches.

Thanks for the answer @Brewdawg1181

I really dont know what to do. The P80 is really good looking mod and will suit my needs perfectly (I'm a MTL and looking for a mod for Siren 2 24mm, BTW that Doogy looks great on the P80 ) and for 26$ (- 4$ for a new member in Aliexpress) maybe its a good deal. On the other side it looks to me like 50/50 will you get a working mod as it should be or you will get a mod with some problem.

Here is a video of the screen problem and I read a lot of comments about the same issue

When you buy vape stuff, there's ALWAYS a significant chance you will get a dud. The only thing you can do to deal with this is purchase from places that accept returns/exchange defective items.

 

[puffon]

Maybe I got lucky. I have 4 P80s with no issues.

 

[KC0YNU]

Several months later and only minor scratches and no usage issues here.

I don't know - at these prices, I'd go with the one that appeals to you most (you'll probably be buying a new mod in a couple of months anyway! ). But the Armour is bigger than P80, by a pretty good bit. And weighs more. And at that price, you could buy the P80 from MFS, get in a couple of days, and have US support. I had my replacement in 2 days, before I ever even shipped back the original.
But that Armour is nice looking. And there's thousands of people that just love their Pico's.

For a few more $ You might consider this- it's my latest, very small, and a DNA to boot, so you can customize, and I feel safe on-board charging. I love it, and considering getting another if no one comes out with an even smaller mod I like soon. I just can't seem to find any smaller than this (recommendations, anyone?). I just hate feeling like I'm carrying a brick in my pocket.

Well since we are throwing around recs for more stuff, Volcano has some Lavabox's in stock.
I really love these mods! By far the best mod I have ever owned. Also, $10 cheaper than the s-body and ships from the US (Hawaii).

That’s sharp looking but I didn’t see in the description where it said it has a dna board in it.

The Sbody artisan has the dna 75c and is sharper looking but costs about $25 more. That one doesn’t have the dna I don’t believe.

[lil_buddy]

I'm pretty sure the macro has a dna chip.

 

[madstabber]

Yea my bad I think it has a dna too. I think the one I linked has the dna75c while the macro has the dna 75, no color screen. My bad, after looking at the discussion on fasttech they claim it does and the guys post above that I didn’t read first says he it does and used escribe and has one so obviously he’d know better than me.

 

[Brewdawg1181]

Yeah, it's DNA. Probably the cheapest DNA mod you could find. That's funny - I didn't realize the specs don't mention it. At $50, you'd think they'd shout it from the rooftops, and be sure to put that prominently in the description, huh?

While y'all are giving recommendations, I'd love to find something smaller than this 79x24x40, 79g mod.

I will say that I never really believed that different mods in wattage mode delivered significantly different vapes, but over time, I've found that this DNA really is a better vape than my other mods at the same watts. But I bought it for the size, and DNA was bonus. Kind of cool to customize, but that fades quick. Safe on-board charging is nice, too, though. I trust DNA as much as Nitecore.

Hi fis...I bought my first P80 in October 2017...

Liked it so much...especially it's unbelievable hand comfort and remarkable Firing Panel...that I quickly ordered 2 more...

All 3 are still working Great...No tilted screens...No scratches (Bronze, Red and Blue)...No noticeable (to me) battery sag...



..

 

[fis1976]

Thanks all, for 22$ I simply can't miss it (and hope for the best ), I will be ordering one by the end of next week (if you have some other recommendations still time to change my mind ) . I will be using it with a Siren 2 24mm

 

[meph1]

I have one and i think its great... I only use it on parties where i will without a doubt get f***ked, and as my coil-burner. Before it had this duty, i used it at home, it handles batteries at a mediocre level, but rarely gets hot on chain vaping. Only fuzz i have about it is the display thats buzzing.

 

[Jebbn]

I just got one the other day.
Crooked digital read out.
I like this mod but it feels quite cheap, it is cheap I guess.
It works okay and feels okay to use.
They sent me a black one, I asked for a silver one. Its okay, I can deal with that.
Im on the look for another mod now. The Sinuous P80 isnt quite what I was looking for.
