Concerning Ti wire, the sources sedge posted are great. DO NOT buy the stuff from Zipivf. It is coated with what appears to be graphite and requires serious cleaning to get it all off. Also, it is springy as all get out compared to Unkamen.
Finally had my SX Mini replaced. Really appreciated Yihi's help in arranging the replacement with the retailer who refused the replace initially.
Just hope this is the new coating. Time to source for a silicone cover.

All wires have some kind of residues from the manufacturing process and I wouldn't call "wiping down the wire with a tissue and isopropyl alcohol" serious cleaning. That's something we should do with any wire.
Yes, it is springy. Nothing a "blue coat" won't fix though. For the guys in the US, there are good alternatives. For guys in Europe it would be pretty stupid ordering from overseas just because of your pseudo review. There is nothing wrong with the wire.

I do like the two tone red/black sleeve

But its NOT listed as in stock
I have the two-tone red/black sleeve. It looks nice with the Kanger Subtank, as the red color of sleeve matches up with the red o-rings in the tank.
I remember seeing this but I can't find it. How do you get the 510 pin out when taking the sx mini apart? I'm going to get it powder coated and can figure out how to get it out.
I've been using Unkamen wire exclusively and couldn't understand all the comments I've been seeing about how hard Ti coils were to make stable. I wash my wire and wipe it down with alcohol ...wrap as-is and the coils are always spot on and stable. Others seem to have to torch or pulse and fiddle. I assume the Zipivf wire is more hard drawn and that is causing the springyness. Unkamen is working great and I'll stick with it.

Yes, I live in the US and wouldn't source Ti wire from Europe just to get softer wire when I could fix it with a little heat. Too much postage/price/time to go that route.

Bye the way...even after a wash and alcohol wipe I set the power very low with the M class on Joules mode and pulse lightly 3 or 4 times before wicking because I notice a couple of light wisps of "something" vapor still coming off the wire. Whatever lubricant they use in wire drawing seems to still leave a little organic on there that needs to burn away. I never get hot enough to go blue but still some heat is required for me to get the"pure Titanium taste" I prefer.
I figure I can put one away and it takes away how much I use the others so they should last longer. I have been trying for 7 years to get a vape like this and find the flavors that are unmatched anywhere. I am more then satisfied with the SX m class and if its all I had to vape I would be happy. I'm sure there will be more advances but this is so easy and so good I also have 4 Kanthal only mods for back up an s class and 3 Provaris although I don't use them I have 6 attys built with the same nickel build all the same Kanger STM's although I am going to get 3 more of the newest ones. I will probably put 1 sx and 3 Kangers away so I will be set for many years of great vaping. Whether this law gets passed today or not, I kind of expect it to since it is a Democratic Bill and they have the majority. Enforcing it will be another thing. It won't take effect till Oct 1. I am not sure how they are going to make vendors charge the tax or for that matter to stop them from shipping to the state of WA. I expect to see Provape follow Mt.Baker in moving out of this state. It is a sad state of affairs here. Like a friend said they want to protect us from ourselves and they think they know best if there is money involve but I don't think the Non Vapers of this state understand what this will mean to the vaping community and we don't get a vote on it anyway.
Unless it becomes cost prohibitive. You can get butts at the Rez but the vaping equipment they have is like 4 years ago. Nothing modern.I've had my Mini M class for 7 days...and already the paint is wearing off of the base. Already emailed Yihi about it.
Get a Jwrap on before that happens I did that with both of mine. I am still going to get sleeves just for the added protection.

Taowulf,
I just don't know how upset I would be over the bottom scuffing up. I don't think I have a single Mod with a Stainless Steel bottom that doesn't show some signs of wear on the bottom. i.e. scratches. I am pretty OCD but the base/stand portion of the average Mod take a lot of abuse no matter how carefully you are.
That said I will say that paint is a pretty poor choice on SXmini's part. but keep in mind that those silicon covers are a very good way to cause heat build up in the Mod itself if you were thinking about that as a solution- catch-22.
I like the sleeves but I notice one thing that irritates me about them on the M class. They seem to want to slip up a little and I have to keep pulling them down.
I wish J wraps weren't as expensive as they are. I have J wraps on some other things and they work well but $18 dollars for a few square inches of plastic film seems exorbitant to me. But..............if they work................and they do. Just offends my sense of being a cheap SOB.
