listing side by side mods

[DPLongo22]

if you like mechanicals,i just saw this

I saw that one too. Being a "metals" guy, I'd opt for this one (but '350 unreg'd doesn't float my boat). I LOVE this mod though.

Phantus Mini Box Mod Kit by Standard Functions (Authentic)

Throw in a chip and 18650, I'd be SO "Take my money!!!"

Hi MC

Just happened to mine only had it 2 weeks what a pain.

Was going to try getting inside it and disconnecting the screen and clean with isoprol alcohol ,seems its a common issue.

That photo is like what my screen used to look like and what it looks like now.

Cheers Moza

Well sent XVO Stik back to Mini -ecig 6 weeks ago to fix the screen issue

I hadnt heard anything for a couple of weeks so i thought i would contact them.

They replied a week later that the tracking wasnt working and they would check if it had arrived.

Numerous emails and Face book msg,s over the next two weeks no reply.

Finally emailed again yesterday and get the below reply !!

Hi Maurice,


Unfortunately I have not got any updates from responsible person yet, if they get the parcel or not.

The problem is that most of the time they are occupied with medical tools production and XvoSticks are made in background.

Please, be sure that we don't leave you in trouble. If the parcel is lost, we'll ship a replacement.


Have a nice day,

MiniEcig team

Boy these people are difficult to deal with.

Waited 6 months for it now this !!

Never again !

Boy these people are difficult to deal with.

Feel for ya, Noodles! Been there, done that, and your post brought back some not so sweet memories. Between DPL's and my XVO(s), we racked up about a bazillion frequent flyer miles.

I feel terrible for you. Especially considering you asked me about this. The level of neglect this company has for it’s customers is just unreal. For someone who does medical implant work you think they would have better systems in place for quality control, shipping and receiving, etc. on the bright side, at least you are waiting for a mod and not a new hip or something.

I sent them this today as well as posting on there FB Page

Dear Mini-Ecig team Thank You for your reply finally !!!!

I waited 6 months for the Xvo Stik to arrive, then it had a screen issue sent back under warranty.
Do I have to wait another 6 months to get it back.
I am extremely disappointed in the feedback and service I am receiving.
Please send me a new one that works as i consider it lost .

I actually just spoke to a modder in Russia about making me a new box. My mini Ecig nightmare came up and he told me he has had five of his customers send him their XVOSTICK for the same screen repair issues. Five mods being sent to a different modder because they did not want to deal with Chels anymore.

Oh, and the custom box I’m having made should take about a month. And I pay for it after he sends me me photos of the completed piece.

Hey everyone. I love this thread. Been following it for a very long time.
With that said, it drives me crazy that half the posted pictures I can’t see because of this dumb iPhone app.

Only 2 members right now but everyone is free to join and share your lovely side by sides there as well
If you don’t like Facebook, no worries, I will still post here as well.

My blood pressure rises just thinking back...

Sorry, @Noodles11 . You (and everyone) deserves better.

I bit my lip and held my breath when I saw they were doing another pre-order deal. I had hoped that everything would go smoothly, but it appears to be the exact opposite. Way too many issues, even more so than when Kat & I got caught up in their webs.

SO thankful that all four of ours (two each) are working flawlessly now, because they're still heavy hitters for us both. But I know that I'd never deal with them again, which is why I wasn't even tempted by the great price this time around.

They could learn a thing or two from the folks at Dicodes, who run a similar business model, that's for sure.

Keep us posted, please. The world needs to know.

Done.

I'm quite upset to be honest.

In May they said that orders made in December/January will be shipped in June and orders made after January will be shipped in July. Now they struggle to ship <January orders and say that people will have to wait approximatively two months more. What the hell! I vape since ~2013 and I've never seen this before even with amateur modders.

And Chels keep saying "send me emails" but they never receive or answer them!!

The worst part for me is that I'm currently vaping with a broken setup while I wait for the Xvo.

I hope that my Xvo (if I receive it one day) won't be a defective unit because I don't want to deal with them anymore.

Hello fellow sbs obsessives! I have a few of these still:

- SS Phantus mini
- Brass Phantus Mini (clone - lost the key to remove the filler block and my auth key is totally different)
- Microstick w/ 18500 ext
- Moonraker dna40 #27 (display went out, like to find someone to repair it stateside rather than sending to Italy)
- ignition (not pictured)

I once had a magnificent red proxvostick 266650, for about a week. It's a sad tale, I'm afraid. I bet it could make for an excellent script, possibly even oscar-worthy. You see, once upon a time, I was perusing vape sites when I came upon one shop that had one of those sections becoming popular in one form or another, the "historical hardware" section. You know, the place where those classic mods of yore, ancient classics of another era, like 2 years, could be banished because nobody wanted them. These are my absolute favorite, of course, because for one, I'm a cheap ......., and two, well, because I enjoy a good deal. Which are the same... sorry.

So you could imagine my surprise when in this sad corner, I found a true treasure. Yes, the aforementioned red ProXvoStick 266650 with a compass in the stock and...err... well it was not used, but gleaming and shny and new and I think it was only $99. Seriously? How the hell did this site have not one but two of these available? So of course I sensed some kind of mistake, scam, something. But it turned out to be true, so in the cart it went and in a couple days I was in heaven. For abut a week. The she happened. That cute, cuddly creature you see as my avatar, she knew how I loved my new prize, and oh! How jealous she was...

I know what you are thinking and no, she did not unleash a direct assault and chew it to pieces and digest it. No, she is female, and thus, much more measured. And devious, but not saying all women are devious (obligatory disclaimer), but..ugh whatever.... She saw how I looked at my precious red proxvostick, how I held it for long periods of time, always bringing it to my face and... you know vaping is kind of disgusting. Anyway, she chose instead, a trap! A trap that she would be able to enjoy to the fullest, where she would be able to watch and smile. You see, nary a week into xvo bliss, she waited until I went off to work, and she did the same. She located my cargo pants that she knew I would be wearing that evening when I would return for our daily stroll through the woods. And she knew exactly which pocket would rest the foul device, and she set to work meticulously, surgically even, separating the fabric which would be the cradle for this doomed device. Yes, she did also find an added bonus there, some dog biscuits perhaps, though I tell you it had nothing to do with any of this... So she then sat up, surveyed her work, and smiled. She likely also proceeded to lick herself which she tends to do.

And so, the events played out much like she, and you, have surmised. We took that walk that evening. And in the deepest, darkest part of the forest, that perhaps half acre of temperate, deciduous, and evergreen woods and some rubbish that separated the apartments from the Golden Corral, fate made it's play. I took one last, final taste of probably p rocke grand reserve, put the xvo in that pocket that had previously been whole, and took a step, and... falling. Down, down, down this red device fell, down my leg and apparently I didn't even notice? Was I high? I wasn't! I swear! I don't even do that anymore, I'm a responsible parent now, how could this happen!!!

So it wasn't terribly longer when back home, I'm like, "where's my red proxvostick 26650"? And panic set it, and me, without a towel! I search frantically, under couches, between cushions, all the usual suspects. And then I saw it. That look. That look your dog gives you when you walk in a room and that other half of the sandwich you made and left on the coffee table 10 seconds ago and is no longer there. That look. And I knew. In that moment, the truth of this terrible even exploded in my mind, each frame moving in logical succession with rapid fire transitions, like in Trainspotting, yea, like that. I raced to check the cargo pants I had thrown on a chair after that walk. I checked each pocket, and I found it. A new hole in the pocket! It wasn't there yesterday! Why are there dog biscuit crumbs on the floor? I raced to the forest, retracing my steps. I moved slowly, searching, scanning the forest floor for signs of my precious red xvo. I even had one of those long, thin sticks they use when all the townspeople gather to search for a missing person and they jab into things on the ground... But the sun was receding below the horizon... and time ran out. I would go searching, for days, weeks, years, decades, but no sign of my now once beloved red proxvostick 266650. And the Svoemesto Kayfun v4 that was in it...

And so this tale ends, but the dream lives on. I search for her still, the red proxvostick 26650. I search across the vast Ebay, I search in historical mods sections, I search the google, though I'm sure the google suppresses the results because it knows my Youtube view history... I will never stop searching....

 

[crazydmnd]

So the main thing I actually wanted to share, before going on and on with the sob story, was I just came across a mod I had not seen available in a long time, even the clones. A black Oak! In silver....

Black Oak Mechanical Box Mod Clone

 

[crazydmnd]

Another one I wanted to share, and while I have not checked every previous page in the thread, I did look around a bit and had not seen anyone post the Fakirs sbs. The regulated has a dicodes chip for around $300, the mechs are like half.

ILLUSIA-D MOD

Some mechs are still available
ILLUSIA S MECH MOD 14 Series
ILLUSIA S MECH MOD 18 Series


P.S. - I really want that new sunbox/rss one like the moderator has. I'm thinking of selling my two year old to get one.

 

[crazydmnd]

For those into Billet Boxes (and who isn't???), and hunting lists on fb, there's the new Delro (dna60 and 75) that's pretty sweet. From the FF guys.

 

[crazydmnd]

Also, I think someone a ways back was asking where to get a Kato. Of course, good luck finding an authentic, but there's a listing on ebay for HCigar stuff:

HClGAR Mechanical MODs & Atomiser Tanks | Hammer Templar Kayfun Kraken and more | eBay

I do hope you find a 26 someday too.

Actually, I had my chance not too long ago. VapinArt had some... for $200. Apparently, my desire to replicate my former glory of finding such a good deal on it overshadowed my dream of finding another. Tragically, I realized I now regret that decision as well when I realized they sold out there.

And I gaze nowhere in particular, as that early 90's, or perhaps late 80's classic "Don't know what ya got, until it's gone" sets in...

Oh yea, that's Cinderella. Definitely 80's.

No Regerts!

Yeah. I remember they had them for quite a long time too. I can't imagine it would work but did you try emailing them? Nothing to lose.

Brilliant suggestion. I have thought abut it before then got distracted. It happens. A lot. That has actually worked for me before, I emailed a shop looking for a particular mech and they said they searched the inventory room and found two hiding. So it is worth a shot for sure.
