Introducing Joyetech ULTEX T80 with CUBIS MAX

This review is my honest opinion and has not been falsified in any way or for any reason. The purpose of this review is to allow the buyer to make a more informed decision and not to increase sales of the product. I’d like to thank Joyetech for sending me this kit as compensation for this review. The kit I received was marked as a sample and some changes may be made for the retail production version of this device.
Dive in:
The device comes in a usual box, but on opening the package you see the ULTEX T80 alongside the CUBIS MAX tank and it is gorgeous. There is also a spare glass packaged all in the usual manner, it’s all packed neatly for presentation in a foam block. The T80 has an interesting design stamped into the metal body, the fire button is raised, and the device definitely has a space age design something like a star wars lightsaber. The spare O-rings spare NCFilmTM heat element, screwdriver and screws as well as the precut cotton wicks and Micro USB cable is all neatly packaged in a seperate box alongside the foam block.
Innovative Design:
When I began disassembled the tank for pre-cleaning, the first thing that I saw (as the little cotton wick fell out) was the innovative NCFilmTM heater. This little heat element is notch cut similar to the NotchCore NotchCoils but the NCFilmTM is flat. It attaches horizontally in ceramic to the underside of the bottom of the tank with 2 tiny screws. The cotton wick is 0.5” X 0.6” and will be easy to make from those widely available cotton pads. The wick also sits in a ceramic base that fits onto the bottom of the tank with a little notch to keep it aligned. There is a screw on ring that locks the ceramic wick and element together, with the wick against the heater, onto the bottom of the tank.

OK I have to get the instructions out, because this is different!
APV:
The ULTEX T80 with the CUBIS MAX is an extremely solid well-built device. It is capable of Variable Wattage, Bypass, TC (Ni Ti SS) and TCR, it’s all available! So it’s not just another pen, this is an Advanced Personal Vaporizer (APV) and it even has a display. The display is magnified to 0.55” X 0.3” (so 0.59” diagonal) by a lens. It is an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. It is small but is large enough to display the proper information: it shows coil resistance, then puffs time or volts and a battery graphic, also the set wattage or temperature and operation mode.
Love at first vape:
This tank is so flavorful, I have to say I like the flavor more than all my other tanks. I’ve been testing the top airflow trying to get it to leak and so far I cannot. The lower portion of the MOD is just the right size to fit you hand comfortably. The body of the mod is raised at the fire button making it easy to find even with the lights out. The display although small is easy to read because the OLED has a glass magnifying lens. The airflow is quiet while wide open and can be closed off enough for a good mouth to lung vape. It uses a standard 8.3mm 510 size changeable drip tip. This is a clean beautiful design that definately has a feel of being designed for adults not kids.

OPERATION:
Turn the device on or off with the normal 5 clicks of the fire button.
Click the power button 3 times to enter operation mode selection, press the up (+) or down (-) button to choose between Bypass, TC Ni, Ti, SS, TCR M1, M2, M3 or Wattage mode.
If wattage mode is selected pressing the up (+) or down (-) button will adjust the device output wattage.
If Temperature (TC Ni, Ti or SS) or TCR (M1, M2 or M3) is selected the up (+) or down (-) button will adjust the device output temperature.
While the device is in TC or TCR mode pressing the fire button 4 times allows you to adjust the wattage used while in TC or TCR mode
Additional options will be included in the option menu to lock the coil or set TCR while the device is in TC or TCR mode.
While in any operation mode enter the device options menu by pressing up (+) and the fire button simultaneously.
The option menu has several general settings you can change including stealth mode and coil preheat, and also allows you to see the hardware and firmware version and the battery level.
After the device is set to your desired mode and setting you can lock the regulatory buttons by pressing and holding the up and down buttons simultaneously. While the device is locked you cannot accidently adjust the wattage or temperature, but you can still fire the device or enter the options menu.
TANK DISASSEMBLY:
In order to take the tank apart I removed the bottom threaded ring then wrapped a rubber band around the bottom tank section in order to be able to grip the lower tank section to unscrew it. Be sure to empty the tank before disassembling it. Do not use plyers to disassemble the tank as you might damage the metal, scratch the finish or break the glass.
NCFilmTM heat element
ASSESSMENT:
I highly recommend this device for everyone, new vapers will love its ease of use, and old vapers will love the ergonomics and capabilities built into it. The incredible flavor is just a bonus, and in my opinion is the result of the centered horizontal heat element combined with the top airflow. It takes just a minute and a tiny square of cotton to re-wick and clean the heat element. Also the Kanthal heat element will surely not only last a long time but they will be much more affordable to replace than factory coils and probably even less expensive than RDA wire. I don’t know the release date or price for the Joyetech ULTEX T80 with CUBIS MAX kit, but I know my wife already wants one, and I’m pretty sure anyone who has a chance to try one will want it also.
