Not sure what GearBest is doing.
Still no actual billing Receipt(PayPal Pre-orders)

No longer listed on site. The picture pops up in random searches but clicking takes you to Summer Music Party?
Still listed in My Orders, but clicking does as above. Guess I'm going to have to play service email tag to find out what is going on.:-x
If not for the occasional outrageously low Pricing I wouldn't waste my time with GearBest.

I saw it's no longer on GB...? Focal has an out of stock message... somethings going on, more copyright issues I bet! wish I woulda jumped on the "spring loaded 510" version that focal has, or should I say had. :(

S,C,
I'd be interested to see how good this is. I'd love to get my hands on an SX mini but 199.99 is a little out of my range. Especially now that I'm looking to replace my sigelei 100w V2

Hopefully it's a good clone
why are you replacing it. if you don't mind me asking? If it has been giving you problems or is broke would you sell it and if so. how much?

Yep,
They responded - will ship out as soon as possible - Yea right.
Still not billed out
And they had the nerve to close the Ticket as resolved.
Resolved my ..... I want my order filled!
I just received an email form someone I trust and apparently a "reputable" manufacturer is making a M class clone. kinda glad I didn't get the S class now...

On the bright side, you can cancel the order and by the time they have it back in stock, somebody else will have an updated version that's even better ready to ship lol.

There is a lot of amazing stuff in the pipeline. They may have done you a big favor.

    My sx mini turned up today, not been using it long, but so far I think it is well worth the money, few negatives, but isn't there always.

    The finish isn't quite on par with the original, but that is to be expected for the price point, does have a few blemishes on it, but probably wrap it anyway.

    It DOES have a spring loaded 510 pin, so no problems there, and the screen does line up in the window fine. Resistance is reading right. Did test the charge port and did seem to be working.

    It does have the 3 power modes (not sure how good they are though) and it does have 5 memory settings, just like the original, but doesn't have a menu though, my only real negative so far, is once the screen goes out, you have to double press the fire button for it to fire.

    Anyway here is some pics for you :)

    Well the joy didn't last long, afraid the chip has problems with mine, sometimes it will stick firing, unscrew atty and then the screen is frozen, have to take battery out and put back in too reset the mod, it seemed promising :(
    I was all excited when reading your first post about receiving it. and then, I read this.... bummer man, that's really to bad! you got it from focal correct?

    Sad thing is they keep disappearing so no chance of real support.

    Glad I decided to invest in an Authentic. Excellent mod and I did pull a decent deal saving $40.
    Also purchased an IPV-D2 and that one turned out to be a steal for the performance/durability

    SX is one sweet looking mod Authentic or Clone :cool:
