I think it's possible to solder that resistor inside TS80, it's 12-pin Type-C connector definitely has those CC pins. Not sure it will work though I afraid to kill it maybe someone else tries.
Those CC pins are probably not even soldered because TS80 DOES NOT and WILL NOT (according to manufacturer) EVER support PD negotiation and PD power source.

I need some help - my TS80 shows 130-140 C lower temperature, than actual one. I read all the debug menu values, all seems OK, checked D25 tip (4.45 Ohm, seems to be in range), done reset and calibration few times already, changed firmwares. etc.

Looks like it is a hardware problem, temp sensor chip probably. I can do reflow of the board (also probably I can request change for iron from the seller), but:
- I do not know whether chips are sensitive on temperature (afraid to burn out)
- which one to reflow
- whether it could be possible to return TS80 after that and whether it will fix the issue.

Any advice?)))

I am looking for cable only, which comes with "pro" package. It's really good cable, so I would like to use it in other projects... does anybody know any part number of similar cable?

I'm interested too. Even the cable is not so good: resistance is high and conectors' shields aren't connected together  :--. Well, it's partially so flexible because no shielding (or so I assume - I haven't cut one to see inside).
I have seen Banggood selling the cable + the charger combination.

... it constantly behaves worse than my 14W JBC Nano ...

Yes, but is portable. You don't have to compare it with a soldering station. It is not a replacement.
But, as a portable soldering iron, it perform very well.

What kind of tip do you use?
PS - does it really gets to 12V on TS80?
Have you tried custom firmware (aka Ralim at github)?

Except for high termal tip on my JBC T245 powered by "true" 130 watts (transformer at 24V and current limit of 6A in firmware) by Unisolder, peformance of TS80 is not too far away from T245.
