NEW YIHI SX MINI ML CLASS!

[JeepR KReapR]

Any word as to whether the new chipset/board in the ML will allow for charging as well as firmware updates?

I know the M I have 'allows' it...I also know Yihi strongly recommends against using it for anything other than firmware updates. I'm curious if they have upgraded the port on the ML to better accomodate charging.

A rechargeable TC mod is what I'm leaning towards in my next mod...which is pushing me towards a DNA200 (even though I dont need that kind of power) like the Lavabox or maybe even an ipv D2 at the low end of the TC market.

If I knew it was supported with the ML I'd preorder it in a second...I still drive my SX M class daily.

That's not really Yihi's fault, it's more of a problem with the MicroUSB standard. It's a fairly fragile connector and not a damn thing Yihi can do about it as long as they want to keep using the industry "standard".

MicroUSB is a major failure point on mobile devices, the leading cause of warranty returns (and why Apple never used it on the iPhone/iPad). For the mass market, USB Type C is the new thing, much more durable (and goes in both ways), but I doubt Yihi will go that route just yet.

As you said, Yihi does not prohibit you from charging via USB, they just strongly recommend you use it as little as possible if you want to insure it is available for upgrades or emergencies when you don't have a dedicated external charger. They're erring on the side of caution.

Where exactly has YiHi sad this?

The only thing that can remotely apply is in the manual the USB port has a shorter duration warranty period than the rest of the unit. Their website has no mention of this 'recommendation' strong or otherwise.

Hi folk, have been trying to download the upgrade program on windows 7, I have had it before and upgraded.
I can't find the program on desktop and downloaded again, but when I try to install I get error message (don't have permissions) as I am admin of this pc I can't understand why.
Any help please????

 

[iowa31s]

In windows 7 the administrator account is disabled by default, as a security measure. You should right click on the program you are trying to install, and select run as administrator. This should allow you to install the program.

Many thanks iowa

Guess a few people got it wrong then and no doubt will find another reason to have a go at yihi for.

I am one who got it wrong. Not looking for any reason to unjustly harass a device maker.

And since I was prematurely cranky, let me be the first to say "I was wrong".
And likely will be again one day.

Thank you YiHi! Can't wait until my Crown SS coil soaks up enough juice to be used!

You weren't one of the two main ones spouting opinion as fact shower and it was aimed more at them and I doubt we'll see them back anytime soon. Ml is more in my normal vaping range but I see higher power mods as a bit more future proof and given I might not be able to purchase any more mods after next April a couple won't hurt . Hell if the EU gets it's way no more vaping forums for us Europeans dark times for some.

No, I just thought I'd make my 'Foot in mouth, tastes bad' post as I did indulge in some Chicken Little think regarding the update.
Which seems to be doing well on my Crown SS coils. Going to have read more experiences from others and do a lot of playing with settings to get it exactly to my liking.

It's a shame the regulators can't understand that vaping is ok. But, I've had stupid emails from Senators here in the Colonies. They haven't a clue.
I intend to be independent when the ban comes. I'll not go back to cigarettes and will continue to vape. My main worry is that if the EU and US ban the devices, what market will support the continued R&D and manufacturing?

 

[GeorgeS]

So we now have TWO threads about the SXminiM?

When is the "ML" series due to be released?

 

[Croak]

My main worry is that if the EU and US ban the devices, what market will support the continued R&D and manufacturing?

Which is why I don't mind the breakneck pace of new releases that so many folks like to bemoan. We're getting a whole lot of R&D and a whole lot of manufacturing done in a short time period, which is great just in case the worst happens.

And lets face it, the "Man" might be able to severely restrict nicotine sources, and the "Man" might be able to classify atomizers as "paraphernalia" making them harder to come by, but the "Man" can't really touch the flavorings, nor can the "Man" do much about "power packs", cotton pads, or wire. Just like the "Man" hasn't been able to shut down paraphernalia, rolling papers, matches, etc, nor actually even the source for that other thing that's been illegal for over a century in the US.

Besides the case, which isn't as good looking as the M-Class IMO, what's different?

 

[dannyben]

DannyBen, will you be downloading the M and J class TCR upgrades for your SX chips now that they will be released?

It's a drag when you quote unreliable sources.

Yes I did download the M class update. Still waiting for my S class update though.

And I was not wrong. There have even been multiple people who have posted the SAME exact conversations with yihi and even screenshots of them stating that support was discontinued and no further updates coming.

Obviously, instead of trying to claim you're better than someone else, you SHOULD be thanking me and all the others who have been vocal about their initial stance. If it wasn't for us, yihi wouldn't have done an about face. When they see they can not get away with that type of marketing and sales suffer as a result, then they are forced to change and do something about it.

I just wanted to add it really shouldn't have knocked evolve because one I do know that there new chip is sweet and has been coming in some sweet mods. But what I don't really like is Vapor Shark but that's mostly because of I had to deal with there costumer service and was really disappointed that such a big company not only treated me bad but so far I haven't been impressed with their products.

Well Dannyben I see you are stretching it again. I would like you to quote me where I stated I was better than anyone on this site. It would be very difficult since there are many people here that educated me and are much better then myself. You seem to have a tendency to just make things up as you go. Bottom line is you were incorrect in the information you spread in this this and probably other threads. It's far better to get information from the manufacturer this the net rumor mill.

And being vocal and wrong does not benefit anyone, it simply starts unnecessary drama and spreads mis-information. Yihi will update the M and J class as several of us conveyed. There is nothing more that can be done with the S class other then additional power which I don't see happening.

I find it amazing that other chip and device manufacturers simply pop out new chips or devices and you complain about Yihi not supporting their chip. They have a better record of chip upgrades and longevity then most in the industry.

I know it's tough to admit that the information you posted was incorrect but unfortunately it was and that's a fact. The support came out right after your claim and the TCR upgrade was already in process. It didn't occur in the two weeks that you got vocal, software upgrades were already being tested, I know because I was one of the people testing the firmware. Although if it makes you feel better to believe that then I guess it's OK.

and inevitably it "devolves" (no pun intended) into a Yihi vs Evolv fan boy argument fest.

Can we stick to the new mod and chip please? No one is going to convert anyone to liking the other brand by bashing the other. Some of us like Evolv, some of us like Yihi. I happen to like both and would like to read about the topic of this thread without people acting like 4 year old children saying their toy is better than their friends because more people own it or some other bs rationale (e.g., Hank183 saying because he "knows people that know mods and they like Yihi that they must be the way to go" - good for you, good for your friends - doesn't make you or your friends right. Also saying that you haven't had one problem with your SX Mini must mean that its the better than an Evolv mod. Guess what? I haven't had a single problem with my Opus 200 and I'm not running around bashing the SX Mini saying they have problems because I've read about multiple problems). Both chips/mods have advantages, both have disadvantages. Can't we all just get along?

It's not a fan boy thing just so you know it's the fact that I one miss typed that it's not that I dislike evolve as much as Vapor Shark also I am very knowledgeable about vaping in general and the fact that every Vapor Shark Customer recalled every mod they ever released for some reason or because they always have problems at first but they have horrible customer service. Not only did they only just extend the warranty on the 200 model but every model before that had a horrible warranty for the price and was just in my opinion not worth it not to mention that yet again they had to recall all the first run Vapor sharks 200's . So yes I do prefer YIHI over Vapor Shark and I do own a mod with the Evolve 200 watt chip in it but not a Vapor Shark I don't have any complaints about the Evolve chip that was my fault when I wrote that I miss typed that.

As a matter of fact I just read your post and I have you Opus 200 and I love it but maybe I came off not 100% correct but at that time I might have been in an argument and you know how you come across heated when sometimes you're going back and forth with somebody but as far as a 4 year old kid I'm pretty knowledgeable I don't know who you are or if your knowledge at all either but I am knowledgeable and maybe more knowledge then you or as knowledgeable as you. So I'm man enough to admit that I man enough to admit what I wrote about evolve was a mistake I didn't mean that I corrected it but you don't know me and you don't know what I know just like I don't know what you know so for all I know you're a vapor shark fan boy and you're just riding that wave. Or maybe all your friends told you to get one but personally I do all my own research. A lot of it YIHI put out a great product and at the time put out the best mod out and if you don't know that then obviously you haven't done your research.

Any ideas on when the ML Class will be available? (last I recall it was mid October or mid November?)

My SXminiM died and my supplier says they can't get replacements, I have a choice to wait for the ML series, get something else or get a refund.

Currently I'm leaning on waiting for the ML series - the complete black ones look cool.
