Yihi makes cheaper boards than the sx350 modders board. If you go to their website they have 20 or so different boards they make and sell to manufacturers. The SX350 and the SXmini are the top of the line options from them. I would bet these boards are Yihi but for sure are not the SX350 line. Its just like the SX330 boards that Segelei uses, it is a quality Yihi product, but its not the top of the line model. Only way to really find out would be to contact yihi.

These mods look really good, and by the way I have a SX350 and the accelerometer option works really well, and is fast and easy to manage.

edit:

Yihi makes a 7/35 in that style, it does not have all the bells and wistles of a sx350. But FT states its a SX300 so yah its a real yihi board just a cheaper model should be a nice board.

There's two on FT now. The Yosen and a Hotcig. The Hotcig has a Yihi SX350 (clone?) board.
I see now that there's a "G-Sensor" model along w/the 'standard' model I cited earlier. The standard model is a bit more than the G-Sensor model, oddly enough.

I'm really tempted to pick up a standard type before they go up any more. But sure as I do, there'll be a group buy... :facepalm:

ETA I don't know how accurately these are depicted, but the G-Sensor model has a decidedly different screen (and 5 more watts, 35 vs. 30)- w/a better looking screen/display (voltage in numerals as well as a battery icon, and larger overall). The standard display looks the same as my dna 30 clone for that matter. Anyone have any idea if any of this means the G-Sensor model has a better board?

I'll still wait for confirmation on the Yihi in the Zero. Of course I still don't believe that Aquav2 I'm getting is authentic despite what Sulphie said. Maybe I'm too cynical, but there's an awful lot of scamming in the e cig market.

I've already had someone argue with me that Hot Cig makes the real Hanas. All you have to do is look inside both to know that isn't true. If it was, I got the worst 2 Hanas ever made, lol!

the aqua2 is very easy and intuitive to wick. I'm using a 3/32 coil. japanese cotton. for dual, just thread it through the coil and into the channels -- trim just enough for screwing on the tank doesnt catch the cotton. keep the length the same length as the channel. I find the size of the channel = the size of the wick. for single, split the wick, tuck into primary channels, wrap the extra around the back and down into the secondary channels. check the entire wick to make sure it's not sitting proud of the threads.

there's no need to for trimming and sculpting or only filling the channel half with wick or whatever. basically, just fill the channels with cotton/rayon & make sure they wont shift from attaching the tank.

Gluttony at it's finest. You can barely keep up with the ones you're already getting. :laugh:

You have told no lies, but I can't help feeling some kinda way every time he announces the next giveaway which seems like once a week ... and its usually stuff that would be great for review too. He even tried to snag one of my Zero's when I told him I had two .. he was like "what are you gonna do with the other one?" Err, use it fool :blink: :laugh:

Saw a Zero clone for $66.91 w/code at FT. At Vaping Cheap the reviewer said, "Not too long ago Nicole posted a great Zero Mods clone review you may be interested in reading but I’m not sure if the clone at Fasttech is the exact same version she reviewed." So is this a decent clone?


I didn't check that link, but if its the DNA Zero on FT then yes, it is the same V1 Zero Modz that I already reviewed. I am waiting on the V2 Zero Modz right now which FT is not selling.

Believe it or not, I actually don't read everything that gets published on VC. There are three writers including myself who contribute content, so I can't read everything. But I usually notice the good stuff when I am moderating comments because comments on all published content regardless of who the writer is show up there.

I got the original Kayfun V4 today and had some problems with a constant Ohm value. Seems it needs a stronger silver plated spring. My first build gave very poor taste - maybe because of a too high Ohm value - I never had a bad first build. But now it`s fine. The taste is better than any other Kayfun, but at the moment not as good as Heron or Rose. But it´s a very nice atty and looks differnt.
Yes, it`s very hard to copy because there are only a few straight lines and parts. Even with a 3d scanner it needs a very good CAD tec to get it copied. Guess not before Feburary.

I wouldn't be so sure about that :D See random post by Nikki :laugh: ... there are at least three confirmed manufacturers with their hand in that bag at the moment, and there is one that I trust to get it right. :banana:

But good for you on getting an authentic hun :) We can compare pics in a few weeks :D

How do you know? Suffie said it`s a Yihi chipset. Suffie said it`s an authentic Aqua. Is the other one Yosen? Is this a Hotcig with Yihi board or isn`t this a Hotcig.

I don`t know who jumped on the clone train and who makes what. This one doesn`t look bad, but we will know when somebody bought it.

Can`t believe that FT is 30$ cheaper than FC on the "Yosen" version.

This market is so damn fast moving

FT is $30 cheaper on the old V1 because Yosen and Infinite are no longer supplying it .. it is essentially abandoned stock. Yosen put out a very public statement 3 weeks ago now saying that they ceased selling the V1 chip, and were in production on the V2 which just completed its first batch. So if Yosen hadn't stopped selling it, FT wouldn't have it at all.

My first order is in -- but having doubts it will arrive by Christmas. What's typical for order fufillment for in stock? It's China -- I think (how can I tell?). And USPS 1st class ship time to west coast? This is for RTA only; no batteries. Thanks!

At this time of the year I would not hold my breathe for a by Christmas arrival .. As a rule, anything that you need before Christmas should be ordered 1 month prior when it comes to international shipping. My last two shipments have been way slower than usual, even once they hit stateside.

I have one right now that has been in New York (from China) since 12/4 and I still don't have it yet. Under normal circumstances I usually receive shipments within three days of hitting the States.

A few pages back I posted a email I got from a Alibaba vendor, stating the Kayfun V4 clone will be out next week. Now that is fast.

Robbot Tech, the fine folks that brought out the ZNA clone posted about that clone on facebook yesterday. Yep. Fast. But is it going to be any good?
