I don't see why you're so bummed about him using high joule settings, I really don't. I like being at 30w-40 watts/joules on a kayfun just as well as on a much airier Subtank or Lemo 2, because I like a lot of surface area and that means more coil and that takes more power to get where I want it quickly after I start drawing. Like you said, sweet spots.

And this ain't Kanthal, where power settings are everything. With a TC mod, Yihi or Evolv, power settings pretty much just dictate how fast it comes up to temp. Which may not mean much to the 0.065 zealots out there with just a few wraps that don't need much power to heat, but for those of us that prefer more wraps and higher ohms (and attys that can move between Evolv and Yihi devices without rebuilding), mo' powa is where it's at.

And I envy you guys that can go a week or more on a coil, I'm replacing mine daily/every 15ml or so because I can taste it getting worse, and it's less hassle and more consistent to just build a new coil and wick than it is to try and clean and re-wick an old, brittle coil and hope for the best.
Yep you have a point. All I am saying is if you do build a low ohm coil you don't need the high J setting. Like I said everyone is different and that's what makes vaping fun. If thats what you like then that's great. Oh and by the way if you wear a hat no one will notice that point. LOL just joking around.

I asked YiHi: "If the device and atomizer is at the same temperature, will the temperature control always work correctly even if they are not at room temperature? For example, if I’m outside in near-freezing weather, will it still work properly or do I need to adjust my temperate limits by how much I’m off from room temperature?"

Yihi's Response: "If the outdoor temperature is very low, as you said if freezing weather, preheat is necessary, otherwise it cannot work well."

Not the perfect answer, but it's enough I think to conclude that the SXM assumes room temperature conditions when setting resistance.

Finish shouldn't matter, the J-wraps will adhere just fine. That 3M adhesive is good stuff.
Cool IDK if this is their answer to the problem of the finish or not. It seems to be holding up well in the 10 days that I have had it so does the grey which is older. But those carbon fiber J wraps are pretty cool too.

I opted to keep my device as my local B&M only had a device which was built on the same day as the one that lost all its paint (March 27th) - ended up with vapor skinz- not impressed that it comes in 2 pieces which causes a seam in the middle or that the sticker goes all the way to the edge instead of leaving the frame exposed - I may trim it back with an xacto knife.

Has anyone gotten one from Jwraps are they 2 piece or a single piece. I think I saw one and it looked pretty good. Was thinking of the carbon fiber. Any cutting on them or are they better. I think I saw a pic but don't know how I would find it again. May check YouTube. One of the reviewers I watched today was going to put one on and have a video of it.

I contacted the vendor about my bad black Mini. He said he would give me another but he only has grey left and that the Version 2 black Mini's will be shipped towards the end of May. He also said that is when the frosted Yihi sleeve would come out as well. Should I wait on the black or take the grey? Is the black that much more sexier then the grey?

Take a hair dryer to that skin, heat it a bit and those lifting edges will smooth right out.
Did that- they aren't lifting those are just shadows from the flash... trimmed the frame- View attachment 456339 - much better.

Heres something I was wondering. I bought a box of the NI200 heads for the STM but I didn't like them in my rDNA40 but I've been hearing they work well on the SX. Since they are .15 what temp and J settings are you using with them. Thought I might give one a try just to see.
i can only get them to work well on dna40. all over the place on sx but others hava had some success i think. Not so pronounced in mini but crazy in nano. Anyway, give it a go!
