I guess this is the first website that shows the Drone 250C and the 4 color options and specs. Only a 7ml bottle, really?

Google Translate
It's German, they are stating max watts at 166....it's 200 watt
PEI...bummer, maybe more options to come.

I learned my lesson early on with cigar flavored juice, all it did was make me want the real thing. Consequently I dont do tobacco flavors, lest I romanticize the killer weed.

Besides, think about the landfill waste of 1.2ml disposable ecigs, kind of makes me cringe.

Have to agree Mike, we are all one stupid move from being smokers again!
I was at a buds yesterday, he quit smoking 10 years ago & started up again just recently :(
The threat of relapse is Real & Ongoing :(

Has he ever vaped Steamer? Any chance you could steer him toward trying it? I really believe vaping is the best chance for the majority of smokers to quit. If he would accept some gear I'd gladly donate, and if you could get him to join the forum we can be a support for him.

Sitting down, facing forward.
As I'm prone to say, Willie, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it take a bath. We've all been there and done that, usually way more than once, and the time has to be "right" for any method to work.

Amen!
There but by the grace of God, go I...
One day at a time...

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.

My own personal version, it has served me well.

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change myself, and the wisdom to know when I am the problem.

I like that Mike, good words of wisdom. I look back at my youth and wish I knew then what I know now.

That reminds me of someone in my family I tried so hard to steer onto the right path, I kept bailing him out, forcing him to listen to my speeches every time. In my mind that was the price he had to pay for my help and I thought they were opportunity's to get through to him. Then one day I was listening to an interview with Coach John Wooden, a wise man, if you get a chance to read or listen to him he's very inspirational. Coach Wooden quoted some bits of wisdom he lived by and this was one of them;
"The worst thing you can do for those you love is the things they could and should do for themselves."
I stopped helping him and I stopped the speeches, eventually he found the right path and now he's living a good productive and happy life. I just wish he could have found it before Mom and Dad passed, it would have made them very happy.

Well, I'm turning off the TV, I'm unplugging. I'm heading outside to take a walk in the woods and soak in mother nature, the real world, no cell phones or gadgets (other then my vape gear LoL). I don't know about you, but I'm shutting out all this digital crap and noise for a day, I'm sure it will continue to grind away just fine without me. Walking away. :)

Batteries in or out? Try with no batteries in the mod :)
I'v had similar issues updating Yihi chips & the removal of the batteries did the trick :)
Also remove the atty too.
I gave it another try. Driver installs flawless without battery and atomizer. Can't make changes to the SX485J settings without a battery. Whenever I try I get:

This device unsupported power setting through USB.

Not sure what that means, changing the power properties for the driver perhaps? Although with a battery, I can't connect. But firmware seems doable without a battery. Manual says it will take much longer to upgrade without. Got passed this and finally upgraded the firmware to v1.173 without battery. No more anemic hits so far. But I still can't make changes to the chip with the software. Still has a very slow ramp up even on the Powerful+ setting. So there are people who actually likes these YiHi mods?

Are you using the SXiQ software? You should be able to make a power curve that can give you better ramp up.
Yihi chips/Mods work well in power mode, the real issues come in TC IMO.
I tried to set mine up a bit better with the SXiQ, but it's not to intuitive :(
I just gave up on mine, all four are up on the out of commission shelf :(
BTW P Bersardo did a video on the SXiQ, search it up, mite help a bit :)
