I'm in Canada mine was supposedly shipped on the 14th but from China so I wonder how long it'll be in thinking another week at least
Well considering Canada post is now delaying international packages, u will be luck to see it this month. Took a buddy of mine over a month to get something he ordered and it hit Canada like 3 days after it was shipped.

Just looked in the smok site and the cube that comes with the kit doesn't have tc already activated. 2.99 for a new tc mod and tank isn't bad lol.

Yea, I'm thinking I might just keep this in vw mode. I already have 2 Real, already activated TC Mods.
Running against industry grain does not impress me.

If I didn't win it i wouldn't have bought it because of that reason but since I won it i figure I can kick them a few bucks.

You read that site wrong, by the way. The Cloud Machine kit can come either with TC or without it (and then it's upgradable for three bucks).

But, there's nobody in the entire world actually selling the VW-only version of the X Cube II, alone or in kit form. The only available model is the TC version. The non-TC was never released, anywhere that I can find, and at this point I doubt it ever will be.

And you might want to read the first post of this thread again, but here's a cut and paste directly from it (Look at the "TC" etched on the device in the picture, and the highlighted text below):

smoktech_cloud_machine_tfv4_x_cube_ii-jpg.483715


Cloud Machine Kit:

1x TFV4 Tank (0.2Ω TF-T3 Coil Pre-installed)
1x X CUBE II
1x Silicone Ring
1x USB Cable
1x Refill Warning Card
1x User Manual


X CUBE II provides 160W maximum output, authentic temperature control, Bluetooth 4.0 and many other functions

EDIT: Here's a Google cached version of the original Smok page announcing the contest, so the ECF post is just a copy and paste of that.

You're still reading it wrong. :) The model with TC pre-activated was meant to sell for a higher retail price, and those that were silly enough to buy the cheaper one could upgrade for $2.99 later.

But they NEVER RELEASED the locked variant. Anywhere. They all come with Ni200 temp control unlocked from the factory, and the laser-etched "TC" on the housing.

Somebody at Smok woke up and saw selling two versions of this (actually, four if you include the black model) would be a very bad idea when all the competition in that category came with free Ni200 temp control, and no retailer in their right mind would bother to stock the non-TC version with it only being $3.00 cheaper and knowing full well that it was the same device.

What Smok did instead was they locked the titanium (and later stainless steel) TC modes and charge for those via the app. For (wait for it) $2.99.

Also, it's worth noting that the text content of the X Cube II pages hasn't been changed since June, before the device was actually released. No mention of titanium mode, no mention of stainless mode in the main product page. Smok doesn't update sites well.

Last I knew titanium was only .49 and I heard they started not charging for it
