Sad thing is people are buying them, they called me a liar when they asked what I paid for mine, so I politely walked out, went down the street and bought my Lemo at another store

sent using a sonic screwdriver

That is one thing that makes not belonging to an online vape community dangerous. Some people just don't know what a fair price is for things because they rely strictly on B&M's to inform them.

So a question. I went to go look at FC today and they are "restocking" again. Is the batch that shipped late last week already sold out? Or will it be in sometime this week? Looking to replace a PV I bought 4 years ago (old adage, if it ain't broke don't fix it...well, it is near breaking and looking to replace it).

I am also getting the KangerTech SubTank. That does look to be a wonderful combination.

What batteries are commended for use with these? I am using a set of 3 IMR 18650 batteries that I bought 4 years ago, but I think it's probably a good idea to get a new set of batteries. I travel a fair amount for work (domestic and international) and for a domestic trip, I typically just take three batteries (one in the mod and two spare) for a 4 day trip. International trips always require I take a charger as they can be as long as two weeks.

Nikki, do you know the full specs of this chip that Yosen is using ? I am guessing they would be 7 - 50W (that is obvious..lol), 0.2 - 3 ohm, 3.6 - 8.3 V output.

Its the same exact specs as every other SX300 chip at 50W that have been on the market for the last month (the 50W boxes by Hotcig, Infinite, Yosen, etc). Its not a new chip, identical to the one in the Hotcig Zero right down to the battery level indicator which reads .8-.15v over the actual battery voltage.

Yes, that new batch that just shipped last week is already sold out. I didn't realize that FC even opened it for sale until someone posted yesterday about there only being 14 left. The one that I asked Doris to hold for Nelson was still available as of 2 hours ago, so if you move real fast you might be able to snag it. Otherwise you will have to wait another week or so for the next batch to come in.

Yes, a new set of batteries please .. Samsung 25-R or LG-HE2's will do ya just fine. :)

Oh forgot to update my thoughts on the Yosen SX ...

As I said earlier it is much lighter at 150 grams, the same weight as a SXmini. This threw me off at first because I am used to the hefty feel of my other Zeros.

The build quality, specifically the machining and finish of the frame is much better than the V1 & V2 DNA Zeros. They even sanded down the edges of the frame this time so it doesn't have that sharp feel. The only thing I don't like about the build is that the acrylic body does not meet the edge of the frame at all four corners. At each corner there is a 2mm space, which is not a QC flaw, this is by design because they are all like this ... and I wished it was not. Its like they couldn't figure out how to make the corners meet while keeping the rest of it flush.

This is where I am giving props to Eachely because I have been told that need to go slower with producing the Wood SX in order to make sure every corner is flush and filled to the edge. The pulled it off with their sample which we have already seen ... SXK needs to follow suit.

The acrylic body itself feels sturdy, and hard, not fragile like it would break easy. Thank you Jesus the 510 threads are what you would expect from a manufacturer like SXK. For the record let me say that the reoccurring issues with poor 510 threads on the DNA Zero that showed up throughout ALL BATCHES, was because there were literally thousands of these frames machined and tapped incorrectly at one time ... thousands ... China being China they were not going throw out thousands of stainless steel frames just because they screwed them up .. and that is why to this day they continue to show up.


So again, the 510 threads on the Yosen SX are actually better than the best DNA Zero was. The battery cap is brass, the removable 510 cap is SS. The threading is great on both, like usual SXK great. The new flat switch is nice, I think I like it better than the one on the DNA Zero. The display is not as bright as the Eachely SX but that it due to the design of the Yosen which has a kind of smoked display screen ... as far as the chip, it is the same exact chip as many of us have already been using in the Eachely SX, no difference at all.

Thats all I have right now :D

Thank you for that. I guess I'll be playing the F5 game after the next batch arrives.

I just happened to go there sunday night and saw FC had 14 left in stock so i grabed one. Within 20 min they where gone. Not sure how many they started out with. when i looked firday night they had none in stock. I do think it kinda cheap that FC is padding the US warehouse with a 2 dollar tracking charge you cant remove. but hey its only 2 bucks.

FC told me i got in but am wondering 2 full days and it still has not shipped wondering if they over sold them.

After I ordered mine there were 14 left and I posted it here.

My order has not shipped yet either after 2 Days.

I posted on FC facebooked page and asked how long it takes to ship from US.

No response yet, Doris will be there after 11 PM center time.

Clearly the ETA on the product page was over looked? The SX Zero was not delivered to the US warehouse until last night, and they are in packaging today. I knew about the ETA but I didn't know they had made them purchasable until you posted about it Sunday.
