I have the same tent, used with ultralightgear pole and 'upgraded' to the bearbones one @platypus linked and the beefy-ness of that is a HUGE benefit! Would recommend. Tent bangs.

Thanks @platypus and @amey
I ordered the the Easton pole as soon as I got out of the woods, it was the only one available from a shop in Finland and I wanted something rather quickly. Then after asking here, I also found a few reviews saying it's so flexy that people are suspicious of how durable it is. It had arrived now as I got home and I'm sure the one you linked is beefier indeed.

But, I also read what Taneli Roininen had to say about this, he was touring off-road around high mountain ranges around the world for years and now makes routes for living, he has this pole made by Easton, speaks highly of it and has used it for 1300 nights with a Lunar Solo and Lanshan 1 pro. So I suppose I better at least try it, as I have it in my hands already.

The one I had seemed stiff too, until it didn't, so we'll see how this is compared to that.

i think the one I had was Easton, if you can return it do it and get the bearbones, I called the guy he said I wasnt the first person with this tent (and six moons) to have this issue of pole.
