Just for info for anyone interested the Wismec Luxotic Surface 80watt does come with a micro USB so easy to load Arctic Fox firmware :)

@Punk In Drublic

Thanks – just to clarify, we are talking about the Wismec Surface you linked on the first page? Where is the USB port? Although FT advertises one for charging, Wismec states batteries have to be charged in a battery charger and no mention of USB in their marketing or manuals.

This thread even states no USB

Yep think so....it's this one anyway...

$43.20 Authentic Wismec LUXOTIC SURFACE 80W TC VW APV Squonk Box Mod - 1-80W / 1*18650 / built-in 6.5ml squonk bottle at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Mine should be here in a few weeks so i'll know for sure but it states that there is one present and also the arctic fox compatible mod page seems to list it :)

I've just watched a couple of reviews and it seems you're right...no USB port. More dodgy FT descriptions I guess.

It won't bother me much but I might take the plate off over the chip to see what's inside :) It's just possible that the USB port is lurking in there. Thanks for the link to the thread by the way...useful.

I bought it because of its size....it's a very pretty little mod although i'm thinking about how I can resin paint the panels. They do 4 different types and I didn't like any.

Guess that’s a possibility. Strange but possible.

As for the AF Firmware. Arctic Fox supports a certain type of board (Nuvoton based). If the Surface employs such board, then the FW is compatible. However, one needs a USB stack in order to load it. Unless they are extremely creative and develop some other form of communicating with the device. But that said, NFE Tools needs to match the Bootloader of the device in order to load the correct firmware through a user selected dropdown menu – I do not see the xml definition for the Surface within latest NFE tools.

Where did you see the Surface as a supported device? It’s not mentioned on the main NFE web site and only reference of the Surface I found in their forums is what I linked above.

Given its size and relative low cost, I am somewhat interested in this device as a on the go vape. USB or lack of, is not a deal breaker for me, but would be nice to know.

I made a mistake. I just went back to have a look and it's the luxotic DF and BF....i just assumed it covered the surface :facepalm:

Yes I agree, that's why I have one coming. USB not a deal breaker for me either. I was looking at them with interest and then I saw one in the flesh at a local vape shop and that was me sold...I certainlt don't think i'll regret my desicion ;)

NM... Not enough Coffee yet.

There isn’t one. Unless it is behind the metal plate, but there is no mention of this anywhere on the internwebs. @charlie1465 has one in the mail, perhaps he is willing to remove the plate and confirm.

Edit....just noticed your edit...LOL! :thumb:
