    NEW YIHI SX MINI ML CLASS!

    Have we worked out what chip is in the ML class yet? I was about to buy a SX350J to build a 2S2P LiPo box mod with but if there is a new chip coming out I'm going to have to hold out for it [emoji36] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The YiHi SX350 35W Chip at Varitube

    It may be ok then, just charge it slowly and you may be able to recover it. For the sake of safety though I would personally replace it, they are only about £15. I wouldn't want to be walking around with an unstable LiPo in my pocket, because if it did go self employed and overheat it would...

    The YiHi SX350 35W Chip at Varitube

    I would say yes that is terminal for the LiPo, has it gone all puffed up as well? They can be recovered by using an extremely slow trickle charger (5-10mA) but even so it is not guaranteed.

    SX350 18650 tube mod battery connectors

    I think I may have broken the screen putting the board in though it was fine for a while, then I tried to reposition it and now it is all Stripey.... Still vapes like a champ and I can decipher the numbers just about, so it still works it is just quite annoying. Has anyone else had this happen...

    SX350 Stripey screen.... Broken?

    I installed my SX350 into my new tube mod today, but upon powering it up the screen is now all Stripey.... I fear I may have broken it on the way in as it is quite tight in the tube :-s Has anyone else had this issue?

    SX350 18650 tube mod battery connectors

    I bought some c-cell battery contacts made by Keystone part no.: 5240 (positive) and 5241 (negative) I am going to trim these down, mount one to the battery tube end cap (-ve) and the other to the top of the battery spacer (+ve) I don't know the amperage of the connectors but I would say they...

    What 26650 battery did you use in this?

    SX350 18650 tube mod battery connectors

    I did look at the 26650 batteries, but for the 20A that the SX350 needs there are limited batteries in that size, I think the largest capacity I found was 3100mAh which is only 500mAh more than a VTC5 so I would rather the slimmer tube, however I do have some 30mm stainless tube so should some...

    SX350 18650 tube mod battery connectors

    I am getting 12.6mm from the face of the LED screen to the rear of the coil. This is directly measured off of the .igs file, so i cannot confirm this with physical measurements as my chip is at work.

    Yes it is set in epoxy resin so is not removable, also soldered to other components as it's the coil for a transformer.

    SX350 18650 tube mod battery connectors

    I got all of my CAD drawings for the SX350 chip from: http://www.varitube.com/Authentic-YiHi-SX350-50W-Chip_p_130.html I draw with a program called solid works or solid edge so usually .igs or .stp files I use as they are universal 3D files. The black thing on the back is not a battery, it is...

    SX350 18650 tube mod battery connectors

    I will keep this post updated as the manufacturing starts, hopefully this week! My SX350 is lost somewhere in transit at the moment! Presets of what, what power I last vaped at... If so I'm not fussed, I would rather re-preset and be able to continue vamping immediately rather than wait for it...

    SX350 18650 tube mod battery connectors

    Unscrew the 510 from the top, it will only be needed for firmware flashing I am going to charge the batteries in an external charger, but I suppose if I wanted I could unscrew the 510 and charge through USB.

    What kind of switch did you replace the tactile with? I spoke to YiHi, and they said it wasn't replaceable?!?

    SX350 Mod battery

    I have decided on a VTC5 18650 as I think I can get it all inside a 25mm tube.

    SX350 18650 tube mod battery connectors

    Hi guys, I'm relatively new here, but I am building an SX350 board into a 25 mm stainless steel tube and I need some advice. I have done most of my preliminary design, but the one thing I haven't addressed is how I am going to connect my 18650 battery up to my board. I am going to ground the...
