The SMOK IPX 80 and SMOK X-Priv Solo both land at 80 W with variable wattage and a display, but they are built around different ideas of what a mod should be. One leans on a sealed internal battery and a stated durability rating, while the other is built around a single 18650 cell and named tank compatibility.
Because the manufacturer data available for each device covers different details, several categories cannot be judged head to head. This comparison sticks to what is actually documented for each device and says so plainly when the numbers just are not there.

Performance
Both devices max out at 80 W and both offer variable wattage, so on paper their power ceiling and control are identical, resulting in a tie. The SMOK IPX 80 additionally lists a broad coil resistance range of 0.15ohm to 3ohm and an MTL-to-DTL vaping style, while the SMOK X-Priv Solo lists two specific resistances, 0.15ohm and 0.23ohm, tied to its named tanks. These extra details describe how each hits its 80 W ceiling rather than changing the ceiling itself, so the tie stands.
Battery
The SMOK IPX 80 uses an internal 3000 mAh battery, while the SMOK X-Priv Solo uses a single 18650 cell with no stated capacity. These are two different battery philosophies, sealed and fixed versus replaceable but uncapacitated in the spec sheet, and without a comparable capacity or type figure for both sides there is no fair way to declare an advantage. The category is marked insufficient evidence for that reason.
Build
The SMOK IPX 80 specifies a leatherette build, an IPX67 durability rating, a weight of 130 g, and adjustable airflow, none of which are stated for the SMOK X-Priv Solo. The SMOK X-Priv Solo instead lists a set of safety protections, including high output warning, overtime, short-circuit, overheating, and low-battery warning, which are not stated for the SMOK IPX 80. Each device has documentation the other lacks, so the two build profiles cannot be weighed against each other and the category stays insufficient evidence.
Convenience
Both mods include a display and both charge over USB Type-C, giving them a shared baseline for everyday use, hence the tie. The SMOK IPX 80 adds specifics the SMOK X-Priv Solo does not state, including a 1.4A charge current and a 90-minute charge time to 80 percent. Those extra figures describe the IPX 80’s charging behavior in more detail but do not change the tie, since the X-Priv Solo has no comparable numbers to weigh against them.
Capacity
Neither device’s listed specs give a clear, comparable capacity metric across both products at once, since the SMOK IPX 80’s 3000 mAh figure has no equivalent stated for the SMOK X-Priv Solo, and the X-Priv Solo’s tank compatibility with the SMOK TF-D Sub-Ohm Tank and TFV Mini V2 Tank has no stated counterpart for the IPX 80. With the available numbers pointing in different, non-overlapping directions, this category is called insufficient evidence.
The SMOK IPX 80 suits buyers who want a sealed internal battery with a stated 3000 mAh capacity, a documented IPX67 durability rating, and known charge specifics like a 90-minute charge to 80 percent.
The SMOK X-Priv Solo suits buyers who want a replaceable 18650 battery paired with named tank compatibility (SMOK TF-D Sub-Ohm Tank and TFV Mini V2 Tank) and a clearly listed set of safety protections.
The verdict
Neither the SMOK IPX 80 nor the SMOK X-Priv Solo comes out ahead overall, and the facts do not support naming one. Performance and convenience are ties on the numbers both devices share, while battery, build, and capacity each involve specs that are only documented for one product, leaving real gaps rather than a clear direction. The more useful way to read this pairing is by what each device documents well: the SMOK IPX 80 is transparent about its battery capacity, charging speed, weight, and durability rating, while the SMOK X-Priv Solo is transparent about its named tank compatibility and its list of safety protections.
