From what I was told....
Nickel or kanthal
It's in R&D right now. But between TPC (where they will show it next week) and Chinese New Year holiday (2 weeks) it still might be some time till it's released. Hopefully they can beat the clock and get a few shipments out before then.

Over on the Varitube SX350 thread, OneDesign (who's been a long time YiHi chip vendor) is saying that based on his experience, he's not expecting to see the chip available for sale until March.

Plenty of time to enjoy the wonderful mini before having to think about picking up one with the new chip in it. Although I'm sure many of us don't bother to think when weed see shiny new vape gear... ME WANT NAOH

Yea, they sent me some juice and both are real good, Nana Puddin and Crunch Berry. I love Crunkberry from AIV and theirs is right there with it.

Yeah Crunchberry is the one that my friend used to obsess over. I just got the PBB cream, haven't vaped it yet though. Now you have me thinking about ordering the Crunchberry again.

I don't think that it's a Mini Chip but a regular SX350 with the Joule temp control. I don't think it would fit in the SXmini as is but as SavePaperVapor said if they make the mini larger and able to fit two batteries this chip may fit.

I vaped the two side by side and the interesting thing about Crunchberry is they are able to replicate the cereal taste which Crunkberry from Alice in Vapeland (AIV) doesn't do. I like them both.

You're still talking about Coral Vapes crunchberry? Do you prefer their more authentic interpretation?

Yea Coval Vapes. It's a tough call because the sample I got is 3 mg and I generally vape 18 so if the additional nic gives it a bit more oooomph then I think I will prefer the Coval crunchberry. My guess is that I will probably wind up with both.

It is a mini chip for the SXmini. I have a picture forwarded to me of the unit with it, but since it is watermarked, I didn't post it.
And March delivery might very well be correct. Unless they can rush it through R&D, Chinese New Year is Feb 19th. Factory will not re-open until the 1st week of March.

Great, I looked at it on the Yihi site and they don't mention Mini. I'm glad you're able to verify it.

Awesome! Somewhere right not now there is a member with a D an g in their username who is prolly seething and mumbling with disdain under his breath. :laugh: I think peterforparts posted in another thread that Yihi had confirmed that this was coming and it was met with some doubt and eye rolling .. peter knows best :p

of course i do..... looks like the yihi bashers will have to be quiet in a little bit so get your bashings in now before it is too late. lokks like a 3rd mini is on the horizon....can't wait....

isn't competition great? now the ball will be in evolv's court-especially if the yihi board works with any kind of wire....march will give me plenty of time to enjoy the current sx minis now and be eagerly awaiting the new versions....never had this much fun smoking , that's for sure....vaping isn't just better it has opened up a new world of nice people....we never did have a smoker's forum did we?.....

You meant the are going to start pumping out sx mini's with the new joules protection board in March, or just the chipset? Would love to wait and get a sx Mini with this new board.

either way is fine by me- a new board or a whole new mod- i'm in no matter which way it goes....if it is just the board that will fit the current sx mini then i knew i was right in getting two. now i will have one to vape while one is getting fitted out with the new board. doesn't that give everyone thinking about getting a second one a sound reason for doing so? that's my story and i'm sticking to it.........

I am really excited about this new temp controlled board from Yihi and want a dual battery mod with this new board in it. I started designing a delrin box for this board today incase Yihi does not offer such a mod. The shape is going to be a modified triangle that is only 1 & 7/8 inches wide and 1 & 3/4 inches thick with a height of less than 4 inches.

Very interesting about the temp regulation. That's quick. Better to be a fast follower than an innovator in this case. Anyone know whether it is with nickel only? I couldn't find the chipset but I'm sure more information will be coming shortly

An SX Mini dealer I know was told via Skype that only temperature control requires nickel wire. While sometimes info communicated that way can be a bit dodgy I would tend to believe it is accurate. There are few choices in readily available wire alloys that are suitable for the purpose of coefficients for temperature control. There are some more details about the chip on YiHi's site, YiHiEcigar SX350J
