Just got my ML vape mail. Another shout out to Varitube is in order. Customer service exceeded expectations and shipping was lightning quick.

I didn't buy the M Class because my original SX Mini was still (and is still) working perfectly. It looks pretty beat up now, but works every bit as good as when I bought it a year ago. I bought a cheaper 75W device in the interim, and within 3 months it started jumping all over the place with the resistance reading on my crown tank. You get what you pay for, and the SX Mini is worth every penny in my mind.

Choosing between the M and the ML (the M being $30 cheaper on varitube) was a bit tough, but I'm really glad I went with the ML. It doesn't offer any features that are truly stand out compared to the M with the upgraded firmware, but I like the small changes to the body and the SX Mini logo cutout has even grown on me in a short time (I was sure I would hate that).

So even though it's only been in my hands for a short time I'm happy to report two big thumbs up from me on the ML Class. :thumbs:

EDIT: In case anyone else was wondering Varitube says that a silicon sleeve for the ML Class should be coming within a month or so.

I got my ML this afternoon. I like the mod a lot but I have a few complaints about it. 1. the mod is heavy. I wish they would have used aluminum or plastic instead of zinc. 2. I think the battery cap still needs improvement. I'm hoping Elevated will make one for the ML. 3. I see YIHI shortened the warranty from 1 year to 6 months. Other than that I'm happy with my purchase.

I bought mine from Sweet-Vapes and it came with a 1 year warranty.

Same with mine. 1 year. I contacted my vendor. He thought it was a year and was unaware Yihi altered it from the M class 1 year warranty.

That SUCKS!!! I should have read my Owner's manual. I just assumed that "Sweet-Vapes" website was correct. I guess that's what I get for assuming......
EDIT: I contacted "Sweet-Vapes" and there IS a 1 year warranty, as long as you paid the MSRP of $199.99.

Got mine today. Battery cap is "crunchy" when threading it in or out. Hope it cleans up in a few trues.
Otherwise, a little hard to get into the config, the gravity sensor is active when you first start it and you have to hold it just right to get menus to work right. Afterward, the menu is fine.
Nice vape too, same as the M.

Why does the manual say 6 months?
Sweet-Vapes contacted YIHI and YIHI said that there is a 1 year warranty, as long as you have a receipt showing that you've paid the MSRP of $199.99. I don't work for YIHI, so I can't answer your question.
EDIT: I'm just sharing the info that I received from Sweet-Vapes.

I thought maybe Sweet-Vapes got that info from YIHI. Well it's good to hear the warranty is good for one year.

So if u paid pess than msrp ur not covered ?

I ran across a interesting thread about a guy who bought a SX Mini on sale and then had a problem with the paint rubbing off. At first YIHI refused to honer the warranty because he bought it on sale but YIHI later changed their mind because the person didn't know buying it on sale would void the warranty.

Here is his last post on the matter:
"I received an email this morning from Yihi confirming they have had a rethink, and decided to issue a Invoice number to have my SX350 M Class replaced as they now feel it was no fault of mine in buying the mod cheaper."

Here's a link to the thread:
Yihi customer service stinks! (sx350 MClass) | ALL ABOUT E-CIGARETTES UK

I'm not sure how YIHI gets away with such stipulations because price fixing is illegal in the US.

I also found out that if you don't save the box you're screwed.
