May 23 at 12:31 comment added Tyler Lawson (In fact you can always take $f^{\wedge (m+3)}$, and if $X$ is connected you can take $f^{\wedge (m+1)}$.)
May 23 at 12:21 comment added Tyler Lawson Suppose $f: S^k \to X$ is a map, and factor $f^{\wedge(n+m)} = (f^{\wedge n} \wedge id^{\wedge m}) \circ (\Sigma^{nk} f^{\wedge m})$. If $f$ is stably smash-nilpotent, then you can pick $m$ sufficiently large so that $f^{\wedge m}$ is stably trivial, and then if $k > 0$ you can find $n$ sufficiently large so that $\Sigma^{nk} f^{\wedge m}$ is in the stable range. So stably smash-nilpotent does imply unstably smash-nilpotent, but possibly with a different exponent.
