SXmini mod ... Yihi

[Portertown]

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

I thought I had the same problem with my SXMini when I first got it.
I could do the five clicks and it would not come on.
What I found out, at least with mine, is that the five clicks have to be done really fast. Faster than other 5-click mods that I have.

I wonder what percentage of people who received their SXMini got a faulty/defective one.

I clicked that button pretty quick - It was definitely defective. Just dropped it off @ the PO - I really hope I can get it this week. Super jealous of all of you

The OTM was originally posted as "authentic" then "OEM", it is 316SS and identical to the authentic, I do believe it is off the authentic line. If not it is hands down the best clone ive ever seen by a long margin.

Sorry for the bad luck patsfan, itll be worth the extra wait though I promise!

Been moderately vaping(powerful setting) @ 13watts on a 0.9ohm coil for four hours and the battery is still at around 95%. Very pleased!

sorry for interrupting actual discussion.. just to share an stupid workaround for my 510 pin problem, which is working ok:

antecedents:
the smaller bottom gasket is damaged, so the pin (and that gasket) were wobbling (touching the walls) and sinking down; the spring and the broken upper gasket were outside, and couldn't insert them back till ZeroOhm shows us how to take the top cap apart safely (not breaking the ground soldering), if possible.

temporal fix:
inserted a white (soft) silicon o-ring (7.8 x 5.6 x 1.1mm) at the bottom.
inserted a red (hard) silicon o-ring (7.2 x 4 x 1.6mm) above it. it has the right thickness to fit the channel of the pin where the upper gasket was "holding" it (about 1.5mm), so the pin doesn't sink down; it has the right width to fit the walls (~7.5mm ID) and the pin (~4mm width).

the result is a fixed 510; well, it has a minimum tolerance, due to the compression ability of the silicone. it's isolated, the pin doesn't touch the walls (had no shorts yet). it's a bit sunk, so attys with short 510 doesn't make contact (for example, the erlkonigins with no adjustable 510; but didn't try this one when the pin was ok )
tried 20w, good contact, no shorts, it's working flawless, so won't try to insert the spring, unless i'm sure 100% of not breaking the whole device.

maybe yihi reconsiders their warranty coverage of this issue, and also learns that a satisfied happy customer ensures the company success at medium-long term (warranty, repairs, and qc, are investments, not wastes).

thank you very much, dravell, Nikki (my guardian angel), ZeroOhm, and all who have helped and given love =))

This is good to hear Haku, at least you made it useable again Hopefully it holds up while you wait for a new one ;-)

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?

go to www.jwraps.com, they have two tone for sxmini 350, I ordered two tone black and gold carbon fiber...

 

[yotrek]

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

just order them direct from jwraps.com, also I was told by a few peoples that order two tone carbon fiber received two set of wraps..I am still waiting for mine to come in ..

In addition to this, you also have to make sure that your battery cap is screwed in enough .. When you install and start screwing on the cap you will see the splash screen however, if you stop to short of screwing the battery loses contact. You thought it was enough because you saw the flash screen, but the connection was not firm.

This happened to me once, same as OP described .. got the splash screen yet it wouldn't turn on after 5 clicks .. screwed the cap in some more and it turned on, and hasn't happened since. I would suggest OP try this just to sure ...

Very nice presentation once again, but you should use an image host like imgur.com because I like my porn full size And the flowers, for me? Well now aren't you the charmer .. thank you, they were lovely ;-)

I hear that Aqua V2 that you linked to is very good and it was confirmed 316L .. so hopefully there won't be any suppliers switch a roo's as has been known to happen with some products. The Aqua V2 looks great with the SXmini so I think you will love this set up

SX Mini and Magma came in on the same day and Im pretty happy so far with both

 

[Roknrolusa]

My Aqua v2 and SX Mini both made it to Athens today. The Aqua from Fastech and the SX Mini from France. Maybe i'll get lucky and have a double vapemail delivery too.. rubbing hands together

Quick question - I bought my SX mini from a local B&M on Saturday (didn't mind paying a little higher price to support local business).

I see some of the pics you guys/gals have posted and see the SXmini logo on the bottom of the mod. Mine doesn't have this...Should I be worried?

Also noticed my power button logo is darker (like grease or something in the etching) than what I see in the pics. Probably nothing, didn't bother attempting to clean it. I was too excited to use it!
