So I've either found a bug, glitch or overlooked something in the manual. Now that I've been playing with the TC settings I notice after altering the temperature or joules and coming out of the menu screen the display shows what appears to me as a random number. Hitting the fire button once displays the correct setting I had previously set it to. As if that field is not refreshing or updating correctly coming out of the menu but then reloading that field once the fire button is pressed.


Strange... Mine doesn't do that at all.. Just goes right back to the display normally upon exit...

I've been reading this thread for a while and only made 1 post here. Been waiting till I could grab a 350j board (and another China mod that is not the subject here so won't mention it) to test but haven't found any available yet... anybody know of any boards available in the US... Yihi wants 70 bucks plus shipping from China and a minimum MOQ....

Will make a note about the possible screen glitch.... and what is Yihi's warranty RMA process?

Does anyone know what the specific differences between the 350j and 330j chips are?

Other than 330j isn't a thing? Heh. ;)

The SX330 V4S is the mainstream board that gets sold to p4y / sigelei. Its cheaper, less accurate, and buck only. Also doesn't have the 4 different modes, soft, standard, etc, or bypass mode, or a gravity sensor. Those seem to be the main things that stick out to me.

Varitube has the boards in stock.

It's a 2.5mm mandrel. Steam engine says it should be around 0.12 and it comes out at 0.1

I'm puzzled because it doesn't seem to be an device error or tolerance. For example, if I wrap 13 winds, steam engine says it should be 0.16 and it comes out at 0.13

It's like my spool of 28g has less ohm per feet as others.

Steam engine is calculating each extra wrap as 0.012 but my devices are reading every wrap at 0.01 Ohms. The higher the wrap count, the bigger difference between steam engine calcs and my devices ones.

I first thought, ok it's just steam engine that is calculating things differently but there are a bunch of people with 10 wraps with same or similar id that get in the 0.15 range... That's 50% more than what I'm getting :/

Regards
Tony

Ps: water test gives me 99c-100c on that device so the resistance is being read correctly)

Sent from my keyboard through my phone or something like that.

Tony you wrap on a screw right?

I think Varitube has them in stock for $79.00 free shipping. Check them out here Authentic YiHi SXmini J - Temperature Limiting - 60W/120W Chip!.

As for the possible screen glitch it's not so much a glitch as I see it as it taking an initial fire to refresh the temperature. IDK perhaps it's displaying something I'm not aware of intentionally. As far as RMA process it will probably be dealing with Yihi and ship to China but you could take that up with the vendor should you purchase..

IDK, are you on v1.4? So if you look at the temperature below the battery indicator it displays what you set the temp to when you exit the menu?

I see what you mean now.. Mine does it also.. One button press, and it goes away. Hopefully, a firmware revision will be along soon..

I posted a msg on the Supplier Varitube SXmini thread asking about this. Hopefully Onedesign1 will answer by tomorrow. Perhaps it's reading and displaying something for future use in it's algorithm... Not sure but it really doesn't affect anything as far as I can tell.
