@ariffza the ML definitely wouldn't fail you.

Another thing to note is that the ML's power delivery is just soooo smooth and powerful.
Hi smokyribs,
Are you saying that Yihi replaced puls modulation for something simlar to DNA200. Do you hear pulses when coil is dry??
Do you maybe have any DNA200, can you confirm that SX is better device.
Maybe it will be good for me to buy now SX mini and then in 6 months DNA200 when they overcome all problems.

I have 2 DNA200 devices as well as both the M class and ML class. Unfortunately, the ML class is still using PWM (pulse width modulation) for TC, very much like the M class.

The vape on it however is still pretty darn good.

In terms of ease of the use, I would say the DNA200 is a tad simpler as instructions are properly documented on Evolv's site and escribe is A LOT easier to deal with as opposed to SXQI.

The way YiHi links up their devices to the PC is a bit of a hassle. Evolv's solution is a lot cleaner.

I'm glad you shared this with us. I was under the impression that the DNA200 escribe is a hassle to deal with. But if SXQi is worst, this might be enough reason to avoid the sx mini and consider the DNA200 instead. Plus DNA200 mods can be had a lot cheaper.

For people who were having a problem with the latest upgrade like I was, I figured out what the problem was. First hookup your device to your computer. Then click on Windows start menu and scroll down to the SXi-Q folder and click on it. Then click on the SXi-DriverSetup and install the driver. After that the program should work. It worked for me and I hope it works for others having a problem. :cool:

Spoke to one of YiHi's rep over the phone and got a much clearer understanding of the SXQ-I software.

Basically, Configurations 1~5 are similar to say escribe's profile settings.

If you have 5 atty's running on ni200, Ti, SS304, KANTHAL A1 and Dicode's nife80 respectively, you can dial in the settings for each of these wires and save them into configuration 1 to 5.

So say for example you're on Kanthal A1 which is your fourth atty, you can go to Configuration 4 in SXQI and select watts and then select the wattage you would want to vape on. The MANUAL TCR and other TC related adjustments would still be there but you can ignore them as they wouldn't have any effects on your settings since the device recognizes that configuration 4 is set up for power mode.

After you're done, click the save button to download config 4 into your device.

So once we've got the configs set, we can move on to the preheat curve settings. In the preheat curve settings menu, we can see on the bottom that the curves adjusted will be for configuration 4. So we have S1 to S5, meaning to say 5 different types of preheat curve profiles can be assigned to configuration 4. For each of the curves throughout S1 to 5,remember to click save after you've configured them in order to upload it into your device.

That is in short how you configure your ML class.

There is however one thing I've yet to get clarified and that is under the configuration settings menu, there is actually an option to assign to config to either eco, soft, normal, powerful, powerful+, sxqi1~5 and the m1 m2 m3...m5.

I'll probably have to call up YiHi regarding that.

But for now, we know that for each configuration settings, there's up to 5 different preheat curves we can assign to it which makes that 25 diff preheat curves if you've got 5 diff config settings dialled in on your mod.

As for the erroneous display showing 9.99V, that happens when you're trying to vape in power mode on a wrongly setup config that's in TC mode. Tbh, I'm not too sure so I'll try it when i get home and see whrn that happens.

Another thing to note is that if a said configuration is set up for TC mode, it will only go into TC mode properly if you select JOULES on your sx mini ml menu. If you simply selected the config, the mod will get confused and display error messages.

Also, it seems that the tilt sensor gets activated whenever you go into confuguration selection.

I'm guessing these are some of the bugs YiHi needs to get sorted out in their next firmware update.
I read it the same way... 5 q curves available for each of the 5 settings... I'm still trying to figure a lot of the software out but at least I got it installed this weekend and updated the firmware. Considering the changes I'd say the firmware update is a must:
Version No. of new Firmware is V2.102
Only available for SXmini ML Class&SX350J-V2.

Advantage of V2.102
A) Available to operate all the features on computer and set different device configuration according to your different Atomizer.

B) Play the Intelligent Taste Control Systerm SXi-Q and Custom your own Taste curve;
Your Taste Visible !
C) Added new function: you can adjust slightly the resistance after Read the Coil resistance(press +- button together),more accuracy TC and better taste...

D) Debug...

It'll be interesting to see the SXi-Q manual when they get it finished. I'm not sure what they mean by debug unless they mean they squashed some bugs... that's maybe what they meant?

Also smokey I too have the tfv4 with ss claptons... I also tried it with the normal dual claptons... the flavor production from the juice is just amazing! When I went back to the normal .15 ohm quads at first I thought the coil was burning a little dry... but it wasn't!!! It was just that I got so used the how much more flavor the claptons were producing and didn't realize just how much until I went back to a new tfv4 .15 quad!!!

The .25 TF-STC2 coil is mislabeled. The box says Clapton coil prebuilt with a picture of a Clapton coil but the coils are just regular stainless steel wire no Clapton. I looked down the center of them when I got mine and was so confused.

Good coils though, real good flavor. I haven't tried them in power mode yet but they work well on the RX200 in TC.

Hi Vapors,

I flip from previous forum saying that yihi going to launch another new technology others than this SX mini ML class..
How true is that ?? Any 1 can share about this?

There are rumours of dual battery mod coming soon but it's all just rumours at this point.

I wonder why there are not more devices manufactured by folks other than Yihi. Wondering if their market is limited or demand too small??

Any info on if they changed the coating they're using on the body of the mod? From what I've seen of the M class on youtube/forums, it doesn't last at all. Can anybody give first hand experience of either the M class or ML class coating durability? I just couldn't stomach $200 on a mod that flakes after a few months when an iStick 30 can easily go 6 months with no flaws to the finish. So definitely holding off on purchasing until I can see whether it's the same coating. Also, I've heard that battery life is awful, but is it comparable to other single 18650 mods? I've always used single 18650 mods; whether it be a smpl mech, sigelei 30, zenesis etc. If those mods got me through a day of usage, would the M or ML last just as long? Thanks

I've only had my ML for a 10 days but the finish seems durable to me. Battery life is great. I get about a day and a half usage out of it. I'm using a AW 3000mAh battery and a Uwell Crown tank with a 1.2ohm coil running at 30watts. I chain vape and even wake up several times a night and hit it a few times and go back to sleep. :vapor:

The ML class is indeed a very potent mod and is a nice upgradr from the M class.

The finishing on the new ML also seems better. Kinda in line with the latest batch of M class with the upgraded finishing.

The only major complaint i have for the ML is that the improved battery cap is good but could have been better.

Also, the SXQI software that came along with it isn't very well polished. Instructions are unclear and is not intuitive at all unlike escribe.

Moreover, the way the mod links with the software is also quite a pain and i really hoped that they did away with the turn link on off step to link the mod.

Last but not least, battery life. I haven't had the chance to use the ML class extensively as i tend to rotate through my mods on a daily basis but battery life on the ML seems to be pretty bad.

Thanks for the info! A dual coil build in a UD Bellus totaling .4 ohm with only a 2500 mah battery in a mech or at 30 watts gets me by easily for a day. Sounds like the ML may just be my next toy then with that usage:) Luckily too because my iStick 40tc just acted up and is giving off residual power when the button isn't being pressed and isn't sticking.... odd.
