No, they're having a 20% off sale site-wide, but there's what appears to be an error allowing an additional 20% off via a coupon code. Don't expect those prices to hold up when they're reviewed by humans tomorrow.

I would have to think they have to honer the prices since the site allowed it. I'll know for sure by tomorrow.

IDK I think if I was going to get one I would get it from Perry at Varitube but as soon as the chips are available they will fit in the M. I think I will wait and see how people like them the only diff I can see is it has presets and SW soon to be available, not sure what all that does but sounds very similar to dna only easier.

Other sites I seen the ML on they say the case is redesigned. I don't know what that means because the photos look the same between the M and ML. All I see is the colors are slightly different. The only thing I can figure is maybe they have a better battery cap now.

Right behind you...

Quite a bit of physical differences between the two.

The only difference I see is the ML now says SX Mini on the side of it. What am I missing?

You can't see the difference in the C-frame? The 510 landing pad area? The contours of the side panel? The very rounded bottom section? The fact that the side panel overlaps the frame, rather than being flush/recessed? Night and day difference to my eyes, there's only three elements that remain similar (but not the same) the elevated 510 platform, the buttons, and the battery cap

I see the differences now. I have to agree with the poster on Reddit, I'm not too fond of the cutout either. However he makes it sound like it's easier to hold so maybe people won't drop it as much.

Guys..I need some help..I finally gave in and ordered the SX mini (M class) from Breazy. This will be my first time to venture into TC. I am not planning to subohm by any chance and my builds are usually in the 1-1.5 ohms range on a Rose V.2 or a K4 ..etc. (I rarely drip or use a Subtank). And my nic level is usually around 12 mg.

Now I wonder:
1. what's the best wire to work with (tastewise, healthwise, and ease of building)?
2. Will i stay in the same resistance range? or should I aim for a different resistance?
3. Will I have to lower my nic concentration?

I know I have to do my homework but I thought you guys can give me the relevant pointers and guidelines and I can take it from there.

Congratulations! I think you'll really enjoy the SX.

First of all, it more than holds its own as a VW device, so don't feel like you have to use it in TC just because you have it. I tried it out, discovered that I personally prefer kanthal, and still use it as my daily driver (although I'll likely try it again soon, as TC is still evolving rapidly).

Anyways, Ni200 and titanium are still the most prevalent TC wires, but the consensus seems to be shifting over to stainless steel. There are health concerns about overheating Ni and Ti (so no dry burning) which don't seem to apply to SS. Also, Ni200 is relatively soft and can be a pain to work with.

Resistance doesn't matter as much with TC. It will be lower, but that's okay - SXMM can fire coils as low as 0.05 ohm in TC mode. Since the mod is regulating temperature, the resistance won't have nearly as much of an effect on your vape as your temperature setting and your coil's surface area.

I'd keep your nic concentration the same, at least at first. I personally use 6mg juice, and it works for me both in VW and TC. You can always get lower concentration later if you need to (or mix what you have with 0mg to lower it).

Finally, I'd recommend checking out the SXMM review by pbusardo (think it's a 2-parter). The device is relatively simple to use for all of its functionality, but there's still a fair amount to learn to get the most out of it.

Oh, also make sure you have the latest firmware if you want to use 75W and manual temperature curves. You can check the revision by holding down the power button as you install the battery; latest is version 2.32. If you don't, pbusardo has a short video that shows how to update the firmware.

Thanks VJ. That was very helpful. I already have the S class and I think it's a great device and like you, it's my daily driver. I will revisit the Phil's review of the M class. I didn't give it much attention from an owner's perspective since I wasn't planning to do TC back when he made it.

Any guidelines to keep in mind while buying Ti or SS wires? Vendors..gauges..etc?

Gotcha, if you're already familiar with the menu, it will be easy to figure out the TC settings.

Unfortunately, I can't help with vendors (I've only bought small quantities of Ni and Ti from B&M's), but if you're typically around 1-1.5 ohm with kanthal, you should be perfectly fine using the same gauge in either Ti or SS.

It does help a lot to find a vendor who provides TCR numbers, as the TCR can vary between different grades/batches. There are a lot of discussions about different vendors and TCR numbers earlier in the thread, may have to dig a little to find them though...

Crap! I tried the coupon code and it isn't valid anymore. I would have pulled the trigger on an Xcube mini at 40% off. lol

Yeah they fixed their site late last night and the code doesn't work anymore. Luckily I just got notice that they accepted my double discount order.
