Okay, sorry for the disruption but WOW :shock:

Built my first Nickel Coil(s)
Dual Coil Orchid tank
Meter read .08ohm
SX Locked at .071:confused:

First attempt, 400F/22J
vape is a bit warmer than expected - will lower temp a bit.
Nice Flavor, Great Vapor
NO DRY Hits :thumb:

Shorty muffler tip gets to warm:-x will have to find an insulator on one of my rda's

Over all :D

I received my Ti 26ga, but after reading all the concern I figure it might be best to save it until we have a v2 of the Beta.

It Flounders, Stutters, Stammers, & ends up Whimpering in Ti Mode & Purrs like a tasty Vaping Kitten in Ni Mode "with my build".
I think the problem really is,,,, Thar be a Schism in its wretchedly coded Soul.
Got a Priest scheduled for an Exorcism and a genuine VooDoo Witch doctor waiting in the Wings just in case.

Naw Man!
Build that wonderful Titanium Beast, Detect & Lock your Ohms, leave it on the Ni200 Profile, set Phasers to 20J & 280* F, and Fire for Effect.
You'll like it. You will. You know you want to.... Do it. You'll be glad ya did

Might have to tweak the Settings a bit for the dual Coil RTA. I'm basing on my single Coil L2 build. Good starting point though.

For the record, Ti-Mode works flawlessly on my SX mini M...

Now, I did a simple "water test" with Ti G1 wire (Zivipf): put fresh cotton into the coil, moisten it with water, press fire & watch the temp... You may need to keep dripping some water to prevent the coil from getting dry. Ideally, this should give you 100°C (212°F), the boiling point of water. In reality, it leveled out at around 102°C (216°F).

For me, this looks almost perfect. As long as the SX mini firmware doesn't do strange things at higher temperatures, accuracy at typical vaping temps would be within 5°C (10°F). Maybe you guys having problems in Ti-mode may want to try the water test on your SX mini?

Edit: did the test with 20J in "Eco" mode.

Water test on mine at 20j Eco mode 26g Unkamen Ti 7/8wrap on about a 3mm mandrel was locking at .320Ω was pretty stable between 181°F - 185°F on the display.
With Ni200 20j Eco mode 28g Temco 6/7 wrap on a little over 3mm mandrel locking in at .106Ω pretty stable on the display at 134°F - 138°F.

Both tests were done on the same atomizer with spaced coil. EHPro Atomic clone. Not really sure what to think about this but there's what appears to be about a 50°F differential on my device between modes when doing the water test. Why the temps are so low IDK.

Consummated procurement of an Authentic Erl Konigin both standard and also w/Nano Kit. It has the wider 2mm open Draw Posi Post as well. Yep, pretty jazzed here in the Armory at Ft. Vape.
These RTAs have a good Rep for having a very stable direct Positive connection. When arrives, will throw the Standard 26ga 5/4 Ti single Coil build on it and see if this makes for any diff in the performance of the Ti Test FW.
Stoked & Hopeful.
Genuine Voodoo Witch Doctor still standing by with some Chicken Bones should this also have the brazen audacity to fail me. Dude freaks me out but swears for a mere Twenty, some Tito Puente CDs, and a Pygmy Goat he will solve all my Vapin' Woes. Wonder if he's gonna wrap my Coils on one of them Chicken Bones.... Maybe THAT'S The Secret.
Hmmmmm.

The only proper way to build an erlkonigin is doing a special dance prior to wicking it. Just ask around. Everybody will confirm Tony's Ultimate wicking technique.
Man the Ti wire thread has been dead no posts since Tuesday afternoon. What's up with that?
Tom is missing. He was last seen with a dna 200 board and a large table stand power supply... We don't know what happen but he's missing for a few days now :(

So what was the consensus with the HG2 batteries and this mod? I need some new batteries.
I'm in the same boat want to order a few batteries and was wondering about the same battery. Fairly reasonable at RTD 7.99 I think and 3000mAh 20a. Sounds really good. I have had really good luck with their HE2's about 22000J so the HG should give you 26 or so.

Send the You Tube Link to that Dance and I'll get the Voodoo Man on it ASAP.
It's gonna cost me another Goat I know. You best be right about this.....
It's forbidden to film the dance sorry. However it's pretty straight forward. You have to remove all your clothes and run in circles around the atty while you're holding your arms up and make growling sounds.

The magic has a more powerful effect if you do it in a room with Windows and shades wide open.

100% success rate :)

I'm going to give them a try, I think they should be fine.

Congrats - that was a fairly nice package, but I already have an ErlK and am waiting for v2 whenever it comes out for the next one. The main issue with the ErlK is the wicking. If you watch Twisted 420's or Qorax's videos on how to wick the ErlK, you can get it right or pretty close the first time you build a coil for it.

Silicone Sleeve for the SXmini M Class

It looks like VariTube is now selling the new Silicone Sleeve for the SXM and only $7.95. Not a bad price!

Beautiful Silicone Sleeve made for the SXmini M Class by YiHiecigar. Not a knock off.
Protect your investment with this perfectly fitting sleeve. Black only available.

Silicone Sleeve for the SXmini M Class

I want one!


If you are on the fence about the Silicone case from Varitube, BUY IT!! I just got mine from them and it is very nice. It seems the molding is a perfect fit so it will not slide up from what I can see.

Is it thinner than the non-YiHi version? I stopped using that one because it just added too much bulk.

The previous case I had was a modified (by me) IVP Mini V2 silicone case and it seems thinner or softer than that and the Sigelei 150 watt case. I measured the thickness at about 1 millimeter. The fire button is flush with the case.
