Fixed that for you with the boldface inserted text.
Yes, this software release for the SX is less than perfect, as were some of the versions for the DNA40... As such, I know YiHi will be eventually releasing updated flash for their boards....as for Evolv, I have 1 DNA40 board with a very old firmware rev that is great, and I also have a newer one that is borderline useless that neither VaporShark nor Evolv are willing to address for me....and I can't upgrade those myself!
Watch these great guys giving some great advise. Around 18 mins into the video they talk about the M Class updates and why there are two. It seems it's for saftey reasons and both are the same. Plus some good battery and Ni2000 advise. I wondering if Ni200 hard is hype

It gets worse
This morning found I had forgot to charge all my batteries
Chucked 1 on fast charge whilst I got ready for work and managed 4.1v
Thought would top it up in the motor before using so gave it another hour through the cigarette lighter socket
Unplugged and tried to use - low battery !
Removed atty and switched to power mode
Battery meter shows empty but volts shows 4.2v
Switch off/on still the same
Pulled battery and rebooted, still the same
With panic now setting in and the thought of being stuck with an ecig from the petrol garage I pulled the battery again
Left it until I reached the next filling station, pulled in and chucked the battery back in
Rebooted with all fingers, toes and legs crossed
It fired up and battery volts and meter now both showed full
Chucked my atty back on and all working
So far with the reboot issues have had, the battery meter and the powerful+ now coming before powerful
Think we need another update and fast
Lost confidence in this now and will be carrying old faithful with me as back up from now on Provari 2.5
They have a fix for the Eco mode "Check Battery" error, I would expect a new public release to come soon.
your doing better than me even before eco mode
Am lucky if I get 19000J from a Samsung 25r
On my 1st battery since upgrade & switching to eco so we will see
Oh & that's if the device lasts that long now before crashing again
Yeah, 1.4 is the Original Firmware.
The new ones are 2.1

Well mine seems to be working well this am. I turn them off at night and not wanting to see the battery bug again I switched them both to standard mode before shutting off. Gravity sensor is turned off display set to auto and that works. The only thing I notice now is it seems to be a lot warmer then before. I am running at 380 I like a weaker vape first thing in the am used to be 395 and am using 14J. This update definately needs an update. But all in all it works sort of.

Papa,
I don't like those guys so I won't watch the video. But if you are talking about tempered Ni200 YES it is very cool and more like Kanthal to work with - you will like it.
That said I have been buying 26 Ga Ni200 from Temco and it is harder than any other Ni200 I have used and really makes life easy. No the 26 Ga doesn't take a long time to heat up. I notice no difference between it and 28 Ga. It is certainly worth trying.
Just changed it to 12J and 380 and seems to be very similar to what 14J 395 used to be. I am using .08 coils on Kanger STM's
You know I used to like Kidney Puncher the owner is a neighbor of my sis in law. No it seems as if they have jacked their prices and I don't do business with them anymore.
My guess is that folks noticing it firing hotter/cooler than before at the same settings either did not pair a room temperature atty with the device at room temperature after updating the device (or possibly was not paired properly before the update and they did pair it correctly afterwards).
Not belittling anyone who makes the mistake..coming off of DNA40 devices it's easy to "forget" that the SX doesn't automatically pair with temp control devices.

I'll summarize for you...the guy has major struggles with LV's tempered nickel, but no issues with his regular annealed...one person's experience of course.
Also, it sounds like LV tempered is different than SV tempered (which I think is what most of us have since they were the first and only for a long while). I'd like to see some specifics on that claim, but considering I haven't heard anyone have issues with SV tempered, it could very well be true (there are different levels of tempered, so perhaps ones is better than another).
I gotta snag some of that Temco 26ga nickel after your recommendation there, Temco are super close to where I live so free shipping on eBay gets it here super quick

Yeah, I've noticed their bleh pricing for a while now.
They will list something as being discounted and it will be the same price or more than everywhere else (ie, the listed retail).
Anytime something popular and new, like the M-Class, expect to pay at least $10 more (except its on "sale").
I can't stand those kind of pricing tactics

dems86,
I can almost guarantee you will like the 26 Ga Temco. With 28 and smaller I find myself avoiding new coil building. With the 26 Ga Temco I don't even give a rebuild a second thought - it is just duck-soup.
His struggles are around it coming up a lot lower resistance than he expects. My first guess is that he is making contact coils, and the new wire isn't as oxidized as the SV stuff we all use. I'd like to see a fair apples to apples comparison (I.e. Spaced coil, same wraps same coil former and same attyI'll summarize for you...the guy has major struggles with LV's tempered nickel, but no issues with his regular annealed...one person's experience of course.

It's just a data point, but the 28g tempered from SV works just fine for me. Still need to order the 26g.

Well, at 18 minutes, they're talking about Lightning Vapes tempered nickel which kind of worries me since I ordered some 28g tempered as my first spool of nickel. I'll give it a shot when everything gets here, though.
Wow, two hours of video chat? Based on your post, I just jumped from 18:00 to 28:00 to 38:00 and found them talking about the SX update there.
