Why this petition?

The Smok XPro series are fantastic devices hardware-wise. However, the series has received lots of complaints about dropping voltages on the M65 and not properly functioning temperature control on the M80 Plus.

Contrary to popular believe, most of the problems are firmware related, or at least could be alleviated by a refined firmware. The functionality of the firmware is also rudimentary at best.

It is a reasonable assumption that Shenzhen Smok Technology CO.,LTD is not interested in continuing to support their devices with firmware updates after release, as is seen all too often with Chinese hardware.



What am I signing here?

This is a petition for Shenzhen Smok Technology CO.,LTD to release the source code of the application program (APROM) for the devices XPro M65 and M80 Plus under a free software license.

Opening the source code would enable skilled community members to provide custom firmwares much like Cyanogen mod being a custom firmware for Android smartphones.

These custom firmwares would fix or alleviate problems with the devices and introduce new features currently absent on them.

TL;DR

Make the firmware for the M65 and M80 Plus open source to have the voltage dropping and temperature control improved by the community, and so many bells and whistles put on this thing that it plays Beethoven's Symphony No. 9? Sign here.
