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?
i think one without the logo are their first batch...you can also check the firmware version if it's v1.3 mean already comes with latest firmware..

I don't think anybodies identified any differences between the two other than the finish and yours probably has the earler firmare which you can update. Some people would probably prefer not having the logo, i know i would.

I got my mini & Mutation X v2 in the mail today. Don't have my batteries for it yet, so haven't tried to turn it on. Visual inspection, everything looks pretty good. The power button and 510 pin are both off centered and I have tool or casting markings on the top of the shell, but I'm not worried about it. If it works like it's suppose to, i'll be content.

Ordered my SX Mini on New Year's Thursday from Vspot Vapes. YiHi SX Mini available now at Vspot Vapes

Great vendor. Got it today. Fast flat rate shipping. They even included a coin for me to unscrew the battery cap. Using a Efest 2500mAh 35A battery. Everything is working fine out of the box. Fit and finish are good. USB connection a little tight. Similar size and form factor to my IPV Mini and Yosen Zero Mod V2, but a lot lighter. All the extra bells and whistles on the chip ("powerful" mode really helps thicker gauge builds heat up faster) and the extra 30 watts make it worth the much higher price than the IPV Mini. Rounded edges and lighter weight make it more comfortable in the hand than the Zero Mod.

Is it worth $190? People who like to have the latest and greatest technology tend to be very insensitive to price. Was the Sony digital camera I bought in 1998 worth $1,000? Was the 5GB iPod I bought in 2001 worth $500? Was the Treo smartphone I bought in 2002 worth $600. Was the 42 inch plasma flat screen TV I bought in 2003 worth $3,500? Currently there are no other box mods available with the SX mini's feature set, form factor and build quality for less money. I'm sure by summer it will eclipsed by smaller, more powerful, better made, and cheaper mods. But for us early adopters, it's all about enjoying the cool stuff first, knowing you've got the best thing available at the moment in your hands. So I would have paid $300 for the SX Mini, just because it's the coolest box mod out right now.

With the exploding vapor hardware market, it won't be long till more established consumer electronic companies like Samsung, LG, and Apple consider launching products to challenge China's dominance.

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! :)

No, no worry. Just means you got one from an early batch before firmware upgrade 1.3. You will probably want to upgrade yours as I think there is a 7.4v max on the first version with no logo. :)

Since you are about the third person to report the casting mark, it appears that was an entire batch that went out like this, and not just a random singular occurrence. As long as you are happy with it, but I would that this will be corrected going forward though.

Well, its not like its supposed to have flaws on it, and not everyone has reported that they had one. Good for you though, who wants flaws?

I'm surprised that more of the bigger companies aren't getting into this market. It's a multi-BILLION dollar industry that's dominated by small companies. It could be that it's unregulated and with talks about .gov control/taxing that might scare the big boys away. It could also be that it's linked to ......... use.

Oxford Dictionary crowned "Vape" as word of the year in 2014.

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 ...

​I had the same "problem" but then the other way around, screwed the bottom-cap in a bit..to much..approximately +/- 3 a 5mm..could put it on and chance the power-modes but could not adjust the wattage,s :confused: now I screw the bottom-cap flat-out with the bottom..rest my case :)

Btw, I put at first a clearo on then I started to, screw the bottom-cap in.

Very nice presentation once again, but you should use an image host like imgur.com because I like my porn full size :D And the flowers, for me? :blush: 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 :)

Thanks for the advice ! In a few days I will show you the, Atlantis in a, full size porn just the way you like it :D as for the flowers that,s very nice to hear :) me a charmer..I think that's in my blood...:angel:

According to the, link and you're info for the Aqua V2 much appreciated ! I am about to order, hopefully I will get the, currency wright this..time ;)

Btw, if you don,t mind I would like to see a, full size porn pic of the SX-Mini & the Aqua V2 :banana:

yeah - it's the one I bought on sale for 142 - The way these things are gaining steam, I probably should have have gotten a second one. I don't think a better device in that price range is going to be available for a while yet.

Nikkita - that was an oxymoron type of answer, when I said I was looking for flaws because of the small hype going on about the casting flaws or a button or something wasn't straight or centered.. Just some humor... :D I did though, inspect mine carefully and it is quite the specimen..
I requested the black one, which I really am glad I received for 2 reasons.
1 - the flat black has a bit of a sparkle to it, and it's not a deep color at all..
2 - I have seen other posts/other forums where I was lead to believe the black models were of the latest revisions, so I wanted it for that reason also.
Looks like it paid off for me..maybe some luck involved, but I'm happy..:vapor:

Replied to Dravvel as in reply to his post..seems not to work out as wanted to.. :glare:

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.

Much appreciated !

My UD Goblin just arrived...and HOLY S....
Makes the Atlantis airflow feel like a Kayfun. 100% unrestricted lung hitting. Airflow is about on par with the Mephisto V1 RDA.
This thing is gonna be nuts on the Mini at 60w on Powerful.
Soon as Triangle gets more Goblins in I'm snapping one of those up with a quickness.

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?

I had the, same question see below,according to the email from www.jwraps.com

On the site, once you go to "wraps" then "carbon fiber" click on the carbon fiber picture, you will then see a drop down menu to pick you device and color.
You can have the main color as black and the other menu add another color for an extra $1.5 .
We will send you two full wraps so you can apply it on the SX mini however you like :)

They said 5-10 days. If you dont wanna wait check out the Sub Ohm Innovations Silverplay. Same airflow, but bigger deck to work with, not very attractive to me though, whereas the Goblin is quite good looking IMO.
