I think my SX Mini is easily on par with my ZNA quality wise and every bit as nice as my Provaris. Is machined stainless nicer than investment cast aluminum? Guess it depends what you want. I have pistol frames that are machined and investment cast, they are just different, one isnt nicer than the other.
If an american or euro company was selling the SX Mini it would be $250 bare minimum. Probably near the $300 range. That's as it is now, no changes.
The SX Mini manual is actually very clear and concise, no chinglish, just clear english and well written.
The chinese wages are absolutely true, the device is still going to sell at it's market price though. The IPV3 was originally selling at 130. Even at its present price of $100-109, the SX Mini is very much a $50-89 more expensive device.
As for the warranty, no ones actually tried to warranty it through YiHi yet, so no one can say whether its not up to par or not. So far all issues have been handled and replaced through the retailer. If and when units have to go to YiHi themselves, then we will know whether they are up to snuff or not. If they arent, then we can bash that, but until then no on can say their warranty isnt good.
Ive owned authentic Hanas, ZNAs, Vaporsharks, Variant, GI2, Provaris, and I can say 100% without a doubt my SX Mini stands right up with them, better than some. I like it more than all of them personally.
I havent owned an authentic Zero, Wapari, Gepetto and the like so I cant speak for the uber luxury mods, and I dont expect it to be that nice. Those cost $400+ at retail levels with year+ long lists with resales over $1000.
Im confident in saying the SX Mini is a deal at $189 though. Would I have liked to pay $140 for it? Well sure, but to say its only worth $30 or less more than something like a IPV3, sigelei 100+, etc is crazy.

Not to mention how expensive also Philippines made mod and those some of Malaysian Mod like Zero, where the labour cost probably way cheaper than European or USA, I don't get it???, yet peoples are happy to pay for them ..

does anyone know if yihi has plans for more mods or is this going to be the "limited run" as they have stated? sure hope they continue to explore the manufacturing side of the business as well as the board/chip side. i'd say they were off to a pretty good start.....

Got mine this morning and have been using it for about two hours. So far i am impressed. Still trying to get used to navigating the button command screen. What is the flash memory (M1-M5) for?

About to order one right now, having a hard time deciding between Grey and Black, is there any difference in the material or wil it just come down to preference?

M = mode, so mode 1 you can set to 10 watts, mode 2, 20 watts (examples), you can set each mode to different watts.

I've heard a couple people say that the finishes on the Grey look better, I took the advice myself and purchased the Grey, should be here later today. I'm sure either would look good though!

I know they're developing a SX350 v2 or something of that sort, I'm sure it'll have more features, not sure when it'll be released or when anyone will make a mod with it.

Thanks! I am assuming this isn't a variable voltage device as i haven't been able to find a setting. I know, i should have researched before i bought. No big deal, just that i like to adjust voltage to taste.

you can adjust the wattage to taste, and won't have to readjust it when changing the atty/coil. that's why we don't miss voltage adjusting, imo

I say both are nice, but for me I am going to J wraps it so won't matter, good luck

Oooo, JWraps, totally forgot about them. I wound up ordering the Grey just now, but might I ask where you are ordering JWraps from your the Mini?

 

[oDANo]

I'm assuming jwraps.com, I don't think they have any resellers for the mini wraps yet.

Oh ok, thanks. I've only heard of them, never been to the site before

so bummed..

My mini just arrived and it doesn't turn on. I get the SXmini splash screen for a few seconds as I'm screwing the cap on then it goes black. 5 clicks does nothing. Just spoke to the vendor...back it goes
