Just curious, are these really that good? Something about a company called "Beast Mode Industries" makes me really wanna forget they even exist...

Eh... it's all subjective, I guess. They never appealed to me enough to even pay RRP for one (kinda wish I had now!). It's a custom machined enclosure with a Yihi SX350 and some very tidy wiring... and lots of social media hype.

They're good. Not $1000 good. Hand built. Tough as snot withstanding two story drop test. They have a dedicated following and release in limited batches which might be causing the "Wants" that's happening.

I had one, so I will give my opinion on it. The build quality is good. It's heavy as hell. The reason I got it, at the time, was that I thought they looked cool. Kind of a stupid reason, but whatever. Had it less than a year and sold it. I had to send mine in 3 times for warranty work. Once, because the chip was flipping out. Sent it in again after that for a similar issue, and the third time, they forgot to tighten down my 510 when they had it last. It's a nice, heavy mod though with a good chip. Which I will say after they finally fixed the chip issue, it was fine. I never vape high wattage, dual batteries were starting to become a hassle for me and the fact that I had to send it in so many times kinda gave me the ....s of the mod all together and the company too. The fact that it took 3 times for them to get it right aggravated me. Are they worth $1k? I don't think so, not at all. Although, I feel that the $300 price tag is somewhat fair when you compare it to the $200 SX Mini.

I have the BMI mini and I love mine. Does exactly what it is intended for, I got a hell of a deal on it from my local shop compared to what they sell for on there website so I scooped it up quick. Definitely very very clean inside and out, it's quality for sure. I would never buy the 3 18650 box version though, to me there too damn big for no reason, I'd rather have the rx200 if I'm going 3 batteries.

What board is in the mini? Too bad it looks pretty much exactly like a Hana V3. I'd be half tempted to snag one for speculative reasons, lol.

Now that you mention it, yeah it definitely does I've never noticed that lol. And this is going to sound terrible but I've never been able to find what chip is in it, I can't find the exact info anywhere on there page or on any site for that matter. Just says everything else but that.

From what I remember from IG posts it's a new chip also made in southern California. VO chip by Vape Organics Distribution. And as HeiSINberg mentioned finding info on it is...challenging.

If you even figure out the screwbacco let me know. This might make me want to start DIY.

I'll keep you updated. I mixed a test batch with the tobacco flavoring I just got it. I think it's a nice vape but not sure it will give a similar flavor to Screwbacco. I will try it out with some strawberry regardless.

Anyone seen or have this yet? The Asmodus Minikin. Looks pretty good imo and a small dual battery mod is what I love! I might pick this up and get rid of my decimus and sig150 tc.

Bringing this old post back up to see if anyone has one yet? my wife saw the Tiffany Blue and said "Look, all this vape gear you keep getting and I'm sitting over here with this crappy setup (subox mini). Buy me that and the Rose Gold tank I've been telling you about (Uwell Crown), and we'll be even.

I saw vapnfagans review of it and held off once I saw it in person cause everything he said was true. There's mad gaps on the mod and the battery sled or tray is super cheap feeling. I mean it's nice and feels great in the hand but I couldn't make the purchase cause those couple problems would bother me. That and the shop only had the tiffany blue at the time and I couldn't do that either lol.

I started to watch his review last night, but I just can't stand him. Don't know if its the way he talks or his somewhat smug attitude, but I cut it off a few min in lol. I may have to go back and suffer through it to see what you're talking about.

The way I look at it is, if it's something your gonna be putting your hard earned money into, it's worth watching and spending a few extra minutes just to check it out.......Unless it's rip trippers, then my rule doesn't apply lol.

Hence, why I asked here first. Nothing will be purchased until late next week, so there's plenty of time for her to flip-flop on what she may want.
