Yesterday’s vape mail from the UK was the new panels for the Yihi SX Mini W Class. I’d been looking everywhere for them & finally found them at a UK shop. However for some reason they wouldn’t ship to the US. So I had them shipped to a friend in London who misplaced the package as she was moving. So almost 3 months later the Ferrai red panels are here to replace the “coffee” aka brown panels. I bought this mod on clearance for just $99 and it was only in that color but I really wanted the red so for another $30 I’ve got a red SX Mini Q class for under $130. Not a bad deal imo. It’s a great mod once you figure out the menu system lol.

The original Coffee and now the Ferrai red. Both have a metallic type finish that’s difficult to see in a photo.

i know it's just a metal tube with a switch and a hybrid connector but the dreamer is lovely. weight, sculpting, finish...grand. reminds me slightly of my sandman mech but kicks its a**e.
don't have a way to measure voltage drop (was it dreamers @Mooch used in his tests on youtube? think it might have been) but it certainly isn't dropping many. i have other 21700 mechs but the brass cream has risen to the top of the vessel.
think stan said they'd sorted a UK distributor for the ardent. bring it on.

Now you just need a 510 adapter for your cordless drill and a bunch of brass polish and you're good to go!

It is a beauty to look at.

Thanks Eskie, it was so dull before, almost like a Matt finish

Now it's like marble, you can't tell the difference in feel between the wood and the acrylic

This is how they should leave the factory but how many times have I said it ha........with the exception of the Boost Kodama of course but they just put a top coat on to hide the dam machine marks. They are about 90% out now but it's way better than it was.

I remember a ways back you had another stab wood from them (or maybe it's the same one) and had refinished. You had someone do an amazing polishing job but I don't remember where you brought it. Was it a fine cabinetry carpenters shop or a jeweler? I just wouldn't know who to ask to do that finish work on that.

I love the smell of a new mod in the morning (or afternoon as the case may be) ... smells like ... victory.

Here is the Flint, fitting right in with some diminutive adoptive siblings:

L-R: Ego One 1100 + Etna RDA, Flint kit, Atto (18350) + doggystyle

Haven't actually vaped the tank yet, perhaps later today, or tomorrow.

    No... I take either white toothpaste or cream cleaner for pots and pans and a cloth. Drench the whole lot, let it dry completely (that's the key) and polish it with a microfiber rag. You don't need that much elbow grease, but you must let it dry completely. Once dry you rub off all the grease and grime efortlessly!
