I figured out how to trigger the bug...

Start in any Memory setting besides M1
Go into the menu (5-clicks)
Go to exit
Press the down button
It's now at M1

Hopefully this won't matter in a few days.

Thanks, I just tested and yes I see that with my 2.2. Didn't even need to press down, as soon as I exited the menu I saw it said M1 at the bottom where before I was in M4. But pressing down was further confirmation, showing me I was editing M1 now, displaying M1's figure on screen.

Oh well, it could be worse - at least it doesn't overwrite M1 with the content of M4 or anything like that (as my ipv4 does regularly.)

That would stink if it happened just coming out of the menu.

I guess we could always use M1 as our favorite setting.

Yeah it does, but it only affects adjustments.

  • So for example my M4 is 35J and M1 is 5J (both still at default.)
  • I am vaping on M4/35J.
  • I go into the menu, I exit.
  • It now says M1 at the bottom, but it still says 35J at the top.
  • So if I vape again, it's still vaping at 35J.
  • I only notice there's a problem at all if I now:
    • press down to adjust (which will adjust M1, starting from 5J)
    • or if I press up to switch memory, which instead of showing M4, shows M1.

So in my view it's no more than a minor annoyance in practice. And fixed soon anyway as you said.

I get about 24k to 26k out of my Efest (rewrap LG HE2), and authentic LG HE4. I usually get the same reading regardless of what I'm running. Of course I get there much faster running a dripper at 60W.

I'd love to have the all black version. That's what I originally was after. But I grabbed what I could find at the time. I'm happy with it, and wouldn't buy another one just for a different color option.
I was using efest 3100mah 20a (6.8a really). With LG HE2's, I was getting just over 30k with 2 batteries in series (Boxer mod). My SXM is still for sale and packaged so I'm not using it anymore.

That is exactly my experience. Hopefully the update will fix that.

I can get as much as 36-38k with my HE2's, vt5's, 25's, using 22J, around 400F in Eco mode. In other modes around 30k.

Mine are the 2500mAh / 35amp. Essentially a rewrap of the HE2. I get almost the same from those as I do the HE4. Just a tad more from the HE4. I've thought about selling mine as well. I could buy two great mods for the price. Like a white Subox kit, and a Snow Wolf.

Well what has been the final decision in trying to build at .065. Is it better or not. I have one now that is reading at .064 and seems to be working very well. The rest are .07-.08 just curious haven't been following it too close lately but I know there were a lot of people that thought you should build as close to that as possible to get the best results. It that still the way it is or have minds changed.

lol Sorry I wasn't specific I mean the first batch of SX Mini's or second with better paint.

Buy first.. then call them. That way you get the low price in case it's a mistake. Cancel your order it's the first batch. If they tell you it's the second batch, get the name. If the paint is crappy, call them out on it. It's a very good price to pass. I got all Black so I know it's the latest run, however, they don't list it. My first one had a defective 510 connector and turnaround for replacement was within a week.

It's stated for optimum results, target the .065 ohms. I don't notice any performance difference being higher at .110 ohms to tell you the truth. Close is good enough unless you want to keep building and adjusting your coils.

All my builds for the last 2 months have been between .065-.073 and I have no reason to change since it is working quite well for me.

Well Jim,

All my builds for the last 2 months have been between 0.11- 0.12 and I have no reason to change since it is working quite well for me. (Yes I plagiarized your text and changed the numbers) I tried the MAGIC 0.065 thing for a time and notice absolutely no difference YMMV. Also trying to hit the magic number got to be a real PITA.

I would love to know why YiHi thinks 0.065 is Magic?
