Good to hear that things are Working Better.
Besides the TC, how do you like the Shape and Feel of the VF Mini in your hand?

It feels surprisingly good. I was a bit worried bc of the shape but using it in the right hand firing with the indexfinger just feels natural. Really comfortable.
Only thing I'd complain about would be the flashlight / bulb. It's in the way when I want to open or close the afc ring. But besides that it feels great.
That what Cracks me up about the VF Mini.
I thought, from looking at the Pictures, that it would be Weird in my Right Hand. Looked like the Curves were Backwards. More meant for Left Handed Vapers.
But I Really Like the Feel of It in my Right Hand!
Guess ya Can't Always tell by the Pictures.
LOL
Does anyone know if Kangxin made a V2? I saw some pics of a Mini VF and it does not have the flashlight and the 510 looks different.
Those were the pre-production mock-ups, right?Like this one?

I'm opting for one of these over the istick as my beater mod, now that I'm Tc all the time. Don't love the look of the light but could come in handy... I like the removable battery and venting the istick does not have.
Plus the istick lost my loyalty with the istick 50 issues, and the cowardice in not owning up to them.

Afaik yes.
I like that there is no giant bulb like on the final mini VF. It bothers me every time I want to close the afc on my atty.
There's another mod out there called a Mini Vapor Flask. I've seen it in one place, in the UK, who have it listed as being by 'SCC'. I have no idea who they are: Vapor Flask Mini Black Temperature Control – ProVapes
From the specs it would appear to be the standard Rayn board - so same chip as the Kangxin Mini VF. My feeling is that it's simply another, separate clone, from a company having exactly the same idea as Kangxin.
Either that or it's a part clone of the Kangxin
Without the flashlight bit, which to be fair has hardly been super popular. And different 510. And brass battery caps. And different style buttons... so yeah I think it's probably a separate mod, simply using the same idea for the name (except 'Vapor Flask' instead of 'VF').Looks about Identical sans the LED.
I'll be Honest. When I first Ordered my Kangxin, I thought the LED was the Stupidest thing I have ever Seen. And planned to De-Solder the LED off the board. And then Fill the Hole in the Top Cap with a plastic Plug.
But after a Couple of Days, I kinda liked the way it LED lights Blue when you press the Fire Button. And I did use the Light once to fill an RTA in the back seat of a car at Night.

Just got one of these today from Angelcigs for $40, pretty good vape with my Delta 2, although the Delta might not be the best tank. I've got a Subtank plus coming in next week.
Got mine from Angelcigs, too.
The only thing that really bothers me is that it always is out of temp mode when I "wake it up". Need a few clicks on the firebutton until it hops back into TC. Or sometimes when it was completely off it doesn't recognize that it's still using the same coil and asks me.
Not that much of an issue but a bit annoying from time to time. But it's my beater so I don't really care.

I've been using this device for the past three days with 4 different drippers with nickel builds and a little bit of time in watts mode. This is my first TC experience and I like it way more than I thought I would. Every time I picked up a dripper with a kanthal build I liked it less and less. At first I thought TC muted the flavor but now I'm not so sure.
If this thing keeps working as welll as it has I don't know what to criticize. The build quality and fit and finish are better than they need to be. There have been no hiccups switching between nickel builds. It has read the ohms of a new atomizers correctly every time. It has yet to misbehave in any way.
Form factor is all about preferences. It weighs about the same as my iStick 50 watt, meaning it's beefy. It's taller than the iStick 50 watt because it needs to be if the battery is loaded from the bottom and mounted below the atomizer. I wanted a mod with replacable batterys but the full size vapor flask style is too large for my taste. It appears to me that temp control in general is not as efficent with power as my 1.4-1.8 ohm kanthal builds so for all day trips out and about I'll have a spare battery. The light is bright enough to be useful. It's fine with me that it's there. Like all these devices it is slippery in the hand and could use a silicone sleeve. I needed a sleeve for the iStick 50. Eventually I'll have a dual battery TC device. It might be an iStick 50w/TC but this Kangxin will still have its place. Thumbs up.

What was Angelcigs shipping time from point of purchase. They are the only place I can find a green one in stock.
Just checked, ordered on 7/3, received on 7/10
Never ordered from them due to others complaints on the slow shipping. That's not what I would consider slow. Thanks.
One more question, they have weight based shipping rates. They have this listed as 270 grams. I hardly believe it is that, but what was shipping cost for you?
I'm pretty sure it was $5.00, paid about $43 total. And yeah, sometimes shipping can be kind of slow, not so much the actual shipping but processing time before shipping.
Thank you. I'm placing an order for this in hopes it gets here in time for friends birthday.
