Woot! Military mail came through for me today and my SX Mini showed up. Took me a little bit to figure out the controls on it but the thing is kicking right now.
I've been trying it out with all my normal tanks since that is what I carry in my day pouch. Will throw on the Atlantis and Subtank to try out when I get back to my room later, along with a couple of RDA and RBA.
Only thing that bugs me is the buttons and tilt seem backwards to me at times. Granted I use it in "right" display but for some things the top button is + and others it is -. The tilt to the left is + and right is -. Other than taking a little bit to figure out which is which it works great.
*EDIT*
All my buttons are straight, grip panel is on with no gaps, and the very minor casting marks can only be found if you know where they normally are and look very closely.
That being said, I wish they had made the hole for the power button a little smaller or used something to take much of the play out of it. It doesn't wiggle up and down, but side to side has at least a mm of play.
The exterior of the 510 connection is nice but the pin looks like.... and doesn't perform as well as the one on my eVic Supreme. Once warranty expires I'm thinking I'll be ripping it out and replacing it with a good quality one made here in the states.
Finally the charging port needs to be a little deeper. About 1.5mm of the plug is still exposed when it is plugged in and charging. Setting it back about 1mm would make the gap minimal and still leave a little space if they are worried. However unlike what we see with 510 connections, USB ports are all an exact standard. Not one other device I have (including mods) has part of the plug exposed like this does.
I like the screen but it is very deeply recessed and there is plenty of room to make it bigger. Putting a 1~2mm thick glass panel over the screen would help. Also ether making the screen larger (can be about 5mm wider and 2mm higher) or centering it between the buttons.
