I am really loving this tiny device that fits great in my hand it actually disappears when I make a fist.

FINAL IMPRESSIONS


I think you can tell that I really like this device, YIHI always makes great devices and their chipset is supposed to be one of the best for temp control not being DNA. I can tell how much smoother my vape is in wattage mode from other devices in my personal rotation.

Having a simple menu that is also easy to navigate is also a big plus in my book.


MENU

* ON - 5 Quick Presses Of The Fire Button


* OFF - 5 Quick Presses Of The Fire Button Then Press Exit

* LOCK/UNLOCK ENTIRE DEVICE - 3 Quick Presses Of The Fire Button

* LOCK ADJUSTMENT BUTTONS - Press And Hold Both Adjustment Buttons Simultaneously

* POWER MODES, CURVES AND EXIT ( OFF ) - 5 Quick Presses Of The Fire Button Then Choose


I would like to use this during work but I wouldn't dare ( I'm in construction ) but it has been the only device I've used at home and out and about. My only 2 cons for this device are the puff counter erases all puff when you plug in the charge cord, this doesn't bother me but it might bother others. The other con is the battery cap and getting my large finger and thumb in the gaps.

I will tell you that if you are looking for a fully featured device at a great price point that's built very well than I would check this one out. I recommend the SX MINI MQ class device 100%. I would like to thank Sourcemore for providing this device for my review and thank you to all of you that read my reviews.


THANK YOU

Eleaf iVeni Lite by Infinium

nVaru7B.png


Eleaf iVeni Lite, belonging to the iVeni family, is the smallest version with compatibility of some Pods with other devices in this series. A minimal pod, one of those that does everything themselves. The user is only left to fill the Pod with liquid and vape. Sample sent free of charge by Eleaf, without me perceiving any money or having any work affiliations with them.

44vK8LR.jpeg


Dimensions of 24.8 x 14.7 x 109 mm, aluminum body and weight, pod included, of 46 grams. 1100 mAh battery, 20 watts maximum and automatic draw and power delivery. Manufacturers continue with minimal packaging and equipment to align the cost with that of disposables. In addition to the iVeni Lite body, an 0.8 ohm iVeni Pod, warranty, and instruction manual. A USB Type-C cable is absent.

9H2RsGe.jpeg


iVeni Pod, capacity as far as I understand only 2 ml, even if the non-TPD variant is purchased. Always the usual cartridge version despite the name, so once the coil is exhausted, I have to throw everything away with the pro of having less condensation and zero leaks. Made of clear smoked PCTG, it's easy to check the liquid level. The refill cap is placed in a location that every manufacturer should copy since, as will be seen, it allows refilling without removing the pod.

DFgd5T3.jpeg


If you're afraid of opening it inadvertently, the cap has enough friction and it's difficult unless you go at it with your finger. Always a duckbill mouthpiece but with good contrast. Available iVeni Pods:iVeni 0.6Ω - 15/25 wattsiVeni 0.8Ω - 13/20 wattsiVeni 1.2Ω - 10/12 wattsA small specification, that wattage range is exclusively to realize the margin of maneuver on other iVenis where it's possible to adjust the watts. The iVeni has automatic delivery, so it should deliver a middle ground. There is also the 0.4 ohm iVeni Pod but it is specified in the official manual that the iVeni Lite reads pods from 0.45 ohm upwards; Eleaf therefore does not mention it in its flyers.

YPJWtSz.jpeg


The iVeni Pod housing is shallow, so condensation is non-existent. The automatic draw selector is present (the only one available). It will be seen later but thanks to this feature, it is possible to refill (and not dirty the bottom of the liquid after refilling) without removing the iVeni Pod from the body. Magnetic attachment of the iVeni pods and reading entrusted to gold-plated pins.

dLp7Scu.jpeg


The airflow control knob, as Eleaf decided to call it in the instruction manual, is chrome and not the same color as the iVeni Lite body. Composed of 3 holes, one larger than the other even if the first and second seem almost the same to me. It varies from a definable MTL draw to an (almost) RDL. It is possible to partially adjust them, uncovering one or two holes and leaving the second and third half open.

6u2iYLB.jpeg


On the other side there is the USB Type-C port installed on the side, with 1A charging supported, perhaps a worse specification than this iVeni but unfortunately inevitable when talking about small capacity batteries and trying, by the manufacturer, to make them last as long as possible. Recharging the 1100 mAh battery takes about an hour and a half. USB cable not supplied, a specific one is not needed but maybe a good quality one is.

hhlHVN5.jpeg


The bottom is quite small, even here a lanyard holder or a cap on the drip tip wouldn't have hurt, so as to always maintain hygiene and not be forced to always have it in your pocket. CE marking and disposal symbol engraved.

aXrYUIU.jpeg


Front side, another poetic license from Eleaf with the LumiDot LEDs, installed about three-quarters of the way up the body which have the task of indicating the battery charge status (or as in the photo, during the charging phase). Very bright since the photo was taken with intense artificial light, they are clearly visible outdoors even in the sun. No physical buttons or screen.

100 - 61%: Green
60 - 31%: Blue
30-0%: Red

Despite the absence of buttons, Eleaf thought to install a draw lock system anyway. They talk about childproof, but beyond having children at home I've always thought it was strange to walk around with unlocked devices in my pocket. To activate or deactivate the childproof lock, 3 puffs must be performed within 1.5 seconds. Other protections:

Low Voltage: when the battery delivers less than 3.3 volts the LumiDot LEDs flash red 20 times
Over time: when the puff is longer than 10 seconds, the LumiDot LEDs flash 10 times
Short circuit: when the iVeni Pod is not detected, the LumiDot LED flashes 5 times or 3 times if it occurs during the puff

Final thoughts: the inclusion of the 0.8 ohm pod is a good move so that the user can easily decide whether to opt for the 1.2 or 0.6 ohm or just stick with the 0.8. For the size, the airflow is good, it's not the usual pen-style pod (it's smaller in person than it looks in the photos) where air seems to pass through just enough, perhaps also thanks to the not-so-deep pod housing. For being a porting of "larger" pods belonging to the iVeni family, if you appreciate these types of ultra-portable devices, the iVeni Lite might be for you.For more info or to better see the other colors, you can visit the dedicated page for the iVeni Lite on the Eleaf website Eleaf iVeni Lite – Sleek, Automatic, and Safe

I thank Eleaf, the e-cigarette forum community and Staff for the space.

The working display screen is small and narrow but very easy to read even with my aging eyes. Displayed upper left is the battery bar with the puff counter below it. centered is the power mode used with the OHM's applied in the upper right corner and voltage applied below it. I don't use temp control or power curves but I will show screen shot pictures of their images on the display screen.

Once again I say hello and welcome to today's review of the SX Mini MQ device from YIHI. This device was sent to me from Sourcemore with a coupon code for my readers that brings the price down to $40.39 when purchased from them, coupon code is SMCM. This device is really feature packed and also a very tiny device compared to other devices that take a replaceable single 18650 battery. The maximum power output of the device is 60 watts and can output 8 volts, for those of you the use temperature control and power curves the SX Mini has that covered, there's also a VT coil mode that is used when using YIHI VT coils that prevents dry hits from occurring. Let's get started shall we.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS



Being such a full featured device I was surprised the packaging was rather simple with a slide out inner container with the device sitting in a foam cut-out with the charge cord, user manual and warranty card laying below it. I knew the device was going to be small but didn't know it was TINY. I instantly loved it once I picked it up and placed it in my hand. The aluminum body cuts the weight down to a good feeling device that's not heavy or a featherweight either' I find it in the goldilocks realm feeling just right.

I held it in both hands looking to see if either hand made a difference firing the device and I found it didn't really matter but having the spine of the device resting in the crook of my fingers felt better than using it in my right hand. I find this to be a very classy looking device and love the mirror finish of the backside but that fades away quickly because it's also a fingerprint magnet that takes the shine away from the mirror finish.

The buttons all feel great and are responsive with their size being just right improving the mods appearance. On the bottom is where the battery tube and charge port are located. I am not a fan of this style of battery cover being a twist off, threads are fine on it but being so small and me having large hands I can't really get my finger and thumb into the cut outs of the cover, a word of cation to you is don't tighten the cover too tight because it will be a bear to loosen and remove.

The top plate has the 510 pin being offset and not centered which is fine, YIHI also went the extra mile cutting grooves into the top plate for old styled atomizers that require their air from the 510, those old tanks are still in use for some folks and it's nice YIHI thought about them. Atomizers up to 24mm will fit without any overhang.

Wanted Tank that uses the Innokin T18/T22 coil

Thanks Unc.

Very apropos tag line! I thought three atomizers would be enough, but alas, it was not.

We have a place here called Industrial Plastics and they fabricate things for people. I'm going to see them today to see if they can recreate the plastic tube part of the tank in a food grade heat resistant plastic. If so, I'll get them to run me up a dozen. If three lasted me almost 12 years, that should take me to 114 and I'm only counting on making it to 95 'ish.
