The new chip to be featured in the Pulse 80w BF Squonk mod is a proprietary chip made by Vandy vape. The chip has been tested and it will suit the needs of this device.The Vandy Vape chip will have all of the features present in the Gene chip,(80w, ultra fast firing, ease of use, etc.) with additional features, such as Voltage By-Pass Mode.

Interesting.

I noticed that there is no mention of the custom vaping curves in wattage and temperature that the Gene Fun chip offers. Maybe it's part of the "etc".

Something like this (user defined tc curve)?

Tony is a Mac guy, so I’m hoping there will be Mac-compatible version of any update software. That could be a deal-killer for me.
I just hope they have a stable, safe way to deliver firmware updates without risk of bricking it, lol.

Especially with a brand new chip, I would expect there will be some bugs that need to be addressed pretty early on. Nothing is flawless. I'm ok with that if they release updates for it in a reasonable timeframe and there is a stable tool to apply the updates.

I only load firmware updates if I have to. If there are bugs that don't affect me or features I don't use, I leave the updates alone. If there are reports of folks bricking the mods trying to update, then it's a definite no to updating for me. I'll let other folks be the lab rats as far as testing the firmware updates and software if the mod is usable as is.

It's one thing to develop and make firmware updates available. It's a completely different matter to provide users a safe manner in which to load them.

I'm getting more and more excited about it now. Actually looking forward to trying the Vandy chip. Don't even care that it's not the Gene chip any more.

Eciggity dropped the price $5.
Haven't got the refund on my CC yet.
They were quite good about processing my refund due to product change. Got a notification of refund within 24 hours. Hit my card account the next day.

If the pulse 80W turns out to be as good as everyone thought it would be with the gene chip, I wouldn't hesitate to buy again from eciggity.

    Yes, I contacted them, they got back and said I will be offered a refund on the difference or store credit.
    Always have good service from Eciggity.

    Hi

    from what I understand , the vaping curves in wattage is lost and is available only for tc mode ( "TC Curve Set" expresses this at least for a non english speaker ;-) )

    JJ

    Thank you. :)

    So, if this is true - it does not, in fact, have the same feature set as the Gene Fun chip.

    I don't do TC, so the "User defined TC Curve Set" is useless to me.

    We'll have to see what comes out. I don't know if what's posted on their site is the final user interface.

    I might have my Oceanus set for power mode (2 second boost), but that hasn't ever been anything I cared about. That's probably because I vape in the 25 - 40w zone, 0.4 - 0.5 ohm twisted 26 kanthal, not dealing with high mass coils.

    (I only do watts mode myself, never found tc that interesting.)

    I see 3f has dropped the pre-order price to $44 ($3 decrease).

    They sent an email offering to add some Cotton Bacon (reasonable); since I use rayon I'll ask for a straight shop credit to use on an RDA.

    Here's a look at the mod with the VV chip. It's a live show and not a review, but it shows the bottle design up close and a walk through of the menu system of the VV board (which looks remarkably like the Gene board features).

    Start it at about the 5 min mark to get right to the actual mod features. Board menu features starts at around the 10 min mark

    That was if you had pre-ordered it with the Gene chip already then the retailer would likely be reducing the retail price because the vandy chip is cheaper.
