Mine should be waiting for me when I got home from work today. ProVape fanboy that I am, I'm still rather excited.

Great mods are great mods. And "marrying" any one supplier, in today's vaping world, is both short-sighted and silly. Enjoy them both (and more, even)!

okay guys I have a funny story. well, hope you all think so. today I went to a vape shop(what else is new). I quickly spotted a grand innovations mod. if you are familiar with this company they do not have you vaping but instead steam coming out of your ears. if they are wrong or right that holds true. so I already know it is a clone. I ask the uninformed kid if it is genuine. he says, yes 100% authentic. I then replied, that is too bad. had you said it was a clone I might have actually purchased it! of course he did not get the joke. continuing that authentic is better. I said yeah I get it. it is also sad employers misinform their novice employees leading them to unknowingly lie but that is a different matter.

I know that is ot again but I just thought that was hilarious. if you don't know why it is so funny read up on grand innovations or check their fb page. it is really sad when clones are better than the genuine article.

oh yeah. the sx mini display is much nicer than dna40. I know that. I just think the housing looks dated. the zna too. just not my top style but that's personal.

They proudly say, "it is authentic Infinite" :D

I thought I was all set and satisfied with the mods I have....a 260 watt beast for dripping, a ZNA50 and an ipv mini 2 for my sub tanks.... Don't need anything else I tell myself........
Then I saw one of these. My god I want one! I actually like it's styling (would like it even better if it was polished stainless steel). That yihi chip is where its at :p
I've been looking at my zna... Wondering if I could squeeze that chip in there :p

The sx mini chip will not fit the zna. They have a huge inductor on the board. Maybe if they used a slim one like the dna chips do.

Can someone give me a run down on all the different SX Minis please & thank you!!!

There are just two Ma'am: The SXmini S Class and the SXmini M Class.

The M Class is their Temp Control version with a SX350J board in it. And I also believe they wouldn't be making any more of the S Class.

the sx mini is great really. I think the subtank is high end even though it is not a mod or expensive. times have changed. 6 years ago I was not building rba's that good. not me, what they had. I mean you stick that on a regulated mod anyone can blow clouds and get a great taste. no knowledge needed.

one thing. I get so bummed when $200++ mods get dented or scratched. I know it is just cosmetic but it makes me really unhappy. what can you do.
the hana got an extreme patina covers scratches but not dings. brass is soft. I have really funky hands lol.

edit I didn't want to post again. today I saw this tiny vaporshark. is that a li-ion or something? or is it bogus?

I got mine used, and at an excellent price, but the finish was already very slightly marred.

I had a decision to make right then and there. Wrap it, or resell and buy new.

I wrapped it after reading up that it would be short lived perfection if I got a new one.

But I DID think about it (oh, yes I did!).

wow. I thought 7ml was a heap. turns out that vaporshark must be fake. per their website they do not produce something that small. smaller than a playing card is what I saw. I need to tell this guy separate the clones from the authentic and you will do more, and more honest business. great shop but they have no clue about vaping. this is not an insult by any means. some minorities seem to invest in any strong growth trend. so it might actually be an English or cultural barrier. they just don't get this market. bet they are making tons though.

you know what though. I and a lot of others would like to get their real gi already. that money is obviously a write off now. that and another busted dna40 this morning so far.

I can't speak to what you saw so it is hard to say but my rDNA 40 is smaller than a playing card, well almost the same height but narrower, and the wired in battery versions are smaller than the rDNA's

okay, yes then. it must actually be legit but did not see it on their site. I gather it was in fact the wired in battery version. like a hana mini but much thinner. I really like that. hana is too bulky for size of the battery in it. it is just hard to shop at this place. he does not know what is what and fakes are all mixed with authentic. I do not want to out him and say where he is because he already got a score of bad reviews for being clueless. I like the guy. luckily I can sort it out. he does have the correct prices though.

Don't know if anyone is interested but I know someone that has a spot on the current Vapedriod C1D2-M list. It's DNA40 and 26650. PM me if interested. Here are some pics.

C1D2-M - dna40, single 26650, 3D printed metal case - Bronze infused Sainless Steel - Cerakoted Inlay, Custom gold-plated magnets, 12mm stainless steel tactile button.

Here is the 30 Vapor Shark DNA | VaporShark.com
Here is the 40 Vapor Shark DNA (40W Version) + FREE 30 ML E-Liquid - Mechs / Mods - Advanced

Both those are internal batts that have to be opened for battery service/replacement. I think the 30 is a 1300mah and the 40 is a 2500mah

As far as the other I would probably look for another place to shop because what if you miss something and end up purchasing non authentic for authentic prices. Unless you are thinking of trying to politely educate him on his lack of knowledge on what he sales.
