After spending 5 days with my M mini I have to say this is the best vaping purchase I've ever made.
Using TC is a charm, I vaped my tank yesterday till there was nothing and the cotton was bone dry, zero dry hits or even a HINT of one, it just diminishes the vapor until it states "dry coil". Working with nickel is super easy as well, if you buy the tempered ones from stealthvape, it's literally like Kanthal, I'm not going back to Kanthal anytime soon or ever until the next big advancement in TC.
Overall I am extremely happy and would recommend this mod and chip to ANYONE.
Thanks everyone and specially TheotherSteveS for great info and convincing me to buy it!

I have been having excellent results with my Lemo and Lemo Drop. The Delta II seemed like it needed more power, but I'm beginning to think it may have been a wicking problem and will have to try again after using the juice in there and tearing out the Kanthal build for my Sigelei 150.
I am also debating drilling my Subtank RBA juice holes a bit, but maybe I should try building on it first.
3 days into owning my SX Mini M Class and thinking this is totally worth it.

be careful. It is very easy to overdo it and trash the deck. Flood city!! Use a fine needle file is best imho! Keep the drill in the shed...

I have a poor track record with operating this thing so far but with some trepidation I will say yes you do! 5 clicks and press fie button to get through to temp set screen..
stands back and waits for the villification to start...lol!

The temp power regulation in this mod is so much smoother than the dna 40. No more on off on off feeling.
So played around with some 28ga. Resistance came in @ .147. Hits temp limit within 1 second @ 420F. The temp number also jumps all the way up to 460 when its doing its readings as I am firing it.
I can't get this thing to produce near what a small 5-6 wrap 24ga kanthal coil can do. I was just on dual micro coils with the wicks underneath @ .4 ohms and it was produces such warm-hot vapor instantly. Can't get this TC right.
Another thing is I checked the resistance three times after putting in the .147 and the third time it read .007 like it always likes to do....
I just manually set it to .22x after firing it for a couple seconds and it worked like I want it to. Lots of warm vapor for a single coil. Started throttling the temperature after the wicks actually started drying out. Before I could hold the fire button for 10 minutes and it wouldn't be dry. It was TINY puffs coming off the coil.
I take the wire off the spool, wrap it around the screwdriver, put it in the posts, tighten it down, set resistance, press the fire button, get disappointed.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that's had or has a major problem with this device. On a scale of 1 - 10 I give it a 9.5 and I'm fairly confident that once Yihi start releasing updates that will go up to 9.8 - 9.9. Of course there are some that will have subjective cons like, I'ts heavy or it's too black or not grey enough
And there's the haters that will try their best to bring to light any flaw they can find and over exaggerate it to try and make it appear of less quality, accurate or safe than XYZ brand that they wholeheartedly stand behind. And of course it's not "Made in America" so you know you have to understand there's a stigma of being made in China. But to me it's really making the vaping experience quite easy. Running a Subtank Mini with ni200 coils is pretty much set it and forget it until tc kicks in and it's time to refill. No more worry about dry hits & burnt wick have been fantastic and a smooth consistent vape from fill to empty is so hassle free. It is not perfect, I have about 9 cons that I could list but they're mostly trivial "OCD" as ZeroOhm states so I won't.
The Vapor Giant Mini v2 is just perfect on the M Class. It performs exceptionally with Ni200.
Sounds like you have some connection problems to me. I'd suggest you try single strand single coil ni200 until you have a consistent resistance readings. You shouldn't have to set the resistance repeatedly. If you do that makes me think you've a bad connection or both the atomizer and device are not at the same temp.
I wasn't aware you could manually set the resistance. Can you provide that process that your using to do this?
From what I'm seeing I think it only show's itself on the display as the temp goes up and down around your setting but that's not a warning condition as it's doing what we set it to do. We should see more once Pbusardo reports on his scope traces during temp control and understand it better. You will get a "warning" when exceeding the temp at the point your coils are dry and that will state "DRY COIL"
By manually I mean I set it when it was still slightly warm. Bad wording.
I only twice tried dual coils and once it was too low. Every other time its single strand 10-12 wraps. Once I put it in the atomizer, I tighted it down and hold the up and down button.

Thanks mate. Basically if I press fire it goes up to my set temperature quite fast I think (I'm not drawing on the atty btw, just pressing fire with wicked wick in there), is that not normal then?
Vlad1,
I think there is a warning if the circuit board temp goes too high... however I have never seen that nor can I imagine what you could do to bring that about. I read a post that said the SXmini M tended to run warm that has sure not been my experience. The warmest mine ever get is maybe equal to my palm temperatures.
.I wouldn't do that. Your basically causing it to pump the wrong amount of power to your coils which could cause problems. Your best bet would be to figure out where or what is causing you to read resistance inconsistently.
That's really dependent on the size and resistance of your coil what you have your joules and temp set to as well as how wet and how tight your wicking is in your coil. For example if I set it to 10j and 500 degrees with a wet coil it would take a while to get there but on the other hand if I set it to 50j and 200 deg and had dry wick in there it would be there pretty fast then you also have air flow as you stated. So I really cant answer your main question there's just to many variables. sry...

Indeed there is. I was assuming he was referring to temp of the temperature control which I think he was
And as you I have not seen the internal overheat protection either, but according to the manual it would display "Too Hot! Please Wait 10S!" I'm sure Pbusardo will do the torture test and show us.- Status
