Could it be? One of the most anticipated, desired, TC mod?

Looks pretty good to me and wonder what the SX450 chip is all about.

Prediction: People are going to be venting batteries faster than we've ever seen before.

Nice looking mod - just not sure about YiHi's choice of allowing it to reach 200W on only 2x 18650's. The DNA200 requires 3x 18650's for good reason, and limits power to 133W with 2x 18650's.

Personally I wouldn't push 2 18650 batteries to 200w on any mod. But I suppose there might be a battery that could handle it safely in the future.

Kind of like having 800hp under the hood. May not use it much, but nice to know it's there.

They better be releasing software like Evolv has done, otherwise I see zero reason to buy one of these. Yihi's prices are in line with Evolv's, so they need to deliver the same functionality if they want to compete with the DNA-200.

And, I find it pretty offensive these companies are offering 200W on a dual 18650. It simply isn't safe and it's obvious it's just there for marketing.

I'll be watching this device but I'm pretty content with my measly 75W gear. :)
On my Reuleaux DNA200 my usual vape setting is around 50W. I don't need all that power but the battery life is very nice and knowing you have the power when needed. Preheating I sometimes will go to about 120w for a second.

I was under the assumption that this mod wouldn't be released until March or April 2016. Looks like they surprised us.

I don't really do FB so when do they say they're releasing it?

They didn't say one word other than "SXmini Q Class Powered by YiHi SX450 chip" as the title on those 2 photos 1 hour ago. Nothing on their website. Not even in their news section. I guess it is just easier to update FB than their website. They already got 95 likes, 50 shares, and over 25 comments in their first hour of posting.

It's more like having that horsepower with a fuel tank that might explode if you actually use all that hp. Two batteries simply can't take 200w. My guess it doesn't do true 200w but instead pulses beyond 150w like the Snow Wolf.

Your probably right. But do you really use or need 200W? Maybe on some really heavy duty dual or quad Claptons might be the only reason why you might need it. But hey, a few years ago on my ego I was only using about 7w when I could go to around 10w and I thought I was pushing it. lol :)

True. I can't see myself ever needing 200w. I have a build that can take around 90-95w at the moment, but that's more to test out my Reuleaux rx200. However, for me it's a matter of principle. A device shouldn't be advertised as a 200w device if it can't do true 200w, and it shouldn't do true 200w if it can't do so safely (the same goes for the newest firmware for the Joyetech Cuboid).

I suppose it would be ok with a new battery design that can handle that safely but I don't know of one currently that can do it safely. Maybe they are planning for the future. In the meantime I think we will be seeing more photos of battery venting.

This 200w race is ludicrous. Sure, the sub ohm with 6 coils will need that power for cloud chasing, while the majority won't.

Had a 100w mod for year, most of the time vaped at 30w, once in a blue moon I would Vape at 45w just for test purposes.

I'm not feeling the new look either.
