SXmini mod ... Yihi

[scratchtheweasel]

Honestly, it's hard to justify the price point. Especially since there are myriad of mods with similar form factor/ performance coming out lately at around or less than half the price of mini. In all reality, mini is a luxury.

I think the mini is placed squarely in the class of dna 40 devices like the vaporshark rDNA, and the Provari P3. Devices in this class range from around $190 - $290 USD. The mini is on the low end of the price range, and on the high end in terms of quality and functionality. If you are spending this much on a device I think it's quite easy to justify. If you don't want to spend a lot on mods then there are plenty of lower cost options. But there are definitely trade offs with the more cost effective mods. Watch Phil Busardo's videos on the ipv mini and the sx mini. Both are legit devices for daily use, but there's a reason Phil's lovin on the sx mini. At the end of the day there's a better board in there and the design is more thoughtful - and yes - more sexy.

Is the SXMINI M CLASS different than this one ?

Yes, it has the temperature control.

After reading the 200+ pages on this forum and lots of pages on another forum, the first thing I did after getting my paycheck was to pull the trigger on it. Today I ordered a grey one from varitube and I bought a Joyetech Delta II to accompany it Now the waiting game begins!

I have a question. It may have been answered but so many posts on here its hard to find. How do you tell if the the battery is fully charged? Does the lightning bolt go away?

The battery icon should look full. Also right below the battery icon you will see the voltage of your battery. 4.20 is a full charge on the battery.

Thanks man. I was thinking that but wanted to make sure.

What are the best batteries to use with the SX Mini (just preordered the M Class)?

They've also supposedly beveled the bottom corners/ edges.

I've used LG HE 2, purple efest, VTC 4& 5, and Samsung 25r. Seems like the 25r gives the best life. All were new BTW.

i have used MXJO 18650 2500mAh 35A high drain Battery lately and they have been very good batteries. i am sure someone more versed in batteries will now tell me they are re-wrapped something else- i only point out that they work very well in my sx mini with long life and no problems. i now have the gamut of 18650 batteries and all of them work well with the sx mini and all the other mods i have. the lowest i go is .4 ohms and never over 40 watts so that is probably why they all do well .all the batteries rated for 20a continuous work fine in my sx mini- it usually comes down to what is available and price more than anything else....

Thanks for the replies! I'm aware of the 25rs and was thinking of going with them. I just want something that is capable of 60 watts on a .16ohm load safely and has the best battery life possible.

Anyone else have any input?

These are pretty much all I use since the end of the VTC 4 and 5 IMR 18650 Battery 30A Orbtronic SX30 Ultra High Drain Hybrid rechargeable Li-ion | Li-Mn

My justification for extra $130

- Power modes: Powerful, Standard, Soft options give me so much flavor control. My favorite part about SXmini!!
- Sexy form factor: It appeals to me the most among many mods out there right now.
- Peace of mind: I bought with confidence knowing that YIHI will provide top notch product and customer care. Also backed by 1-year warranty.

Honestly, it's hard to justify the price point. Especially since there are myriad of mods with similar form factor/ performance coming out lately at around or less than half the price of mini. In all reality, mini is a luxury. I would've never bought it myself...mostly because I am cheap. But now I've been using it day in and day out for over a month, I wouldn't mind buying another one if this one breaks.

It all depends on what YOU want/need.

Let me put it this way. I bought a huge pick-up truck, because I need its cargo space and horse power. It used to be my daily driver until one day I realized that I want something smaller for when I am not hauling things, so I bought a Miata. It's nimble, fuel-efficient, ... errr you get my gist.

If thats worth $130 more then this sx mini m with temperature control must be worth another $100 think I can get it for $10 or so more , so that would be the one to get.

Now that is not so hard to justify.

I am truly curious how it would perform at high watts with temp control. This can potentially be ground-breaking as you are able to vape upto 120w WITHOUT worrying about burning cottons or dryhits. I wonder what the vape quality would be like.

Only one way to find out...

I don't need to justify a damn thing in any of my vape-gear purchases.. Over 4 years ago, I spent around $255.00 each and every month on cigs / cigars for many years. When I made the decision to start vaping a little over 4 years ago, I saw it as a reduced-harm substitution to tobacco smoking.. I figured that I didn't deprive myself of tobacco, and the $$ it cost, why should I deprive myself of vape-gear for the same cost?

Come hell or high-water, I had my tobacco every month. Other things sometimes went on the back-burner because of it. To this day, $255.00 a month remains my vape-budget. Whatever I don't spend on gear, goes toward other budget expenses. Given the incredible accuracy, overall great build, and upcoming temp-protection, the SXmini needs no justification whatsoever IMO.. Most all of the other Chinese regulated devices currently available are cheaply made junk.. Again, just my opinion.

Samsung INR18650-25R or LG HE2 or HE4 (updated) are the safe reliable bets. But you have 6+ weeks to worry about that!

The way I understand it, when using temperature protection you are putting the device into Variable Joules Mode. Your device fires at the temperature selected (up to 580 degrees F). If the temperature reaches the maximum value, the wattage applied to the atomizer coil is reduced to prevent overheating. Your watts might start out high, but they will start reducing down once your desired temperature is reached and provide a constant hit.

So the wattage is almost irrelevant, unless you enjoy vaping @ 580 degrees, and even then you will be no where near 120W to produce that temperature.

you have the SXmini and you can't wait to have new Yihi

Then here is the solution for the last SXmini M Class

It seems reasonable to assume that it will take some community experimentation to discover power level/build combos that are able to work well with temperature protection. Brandon from Evolv spoke about high temperatures producing a superheated layer of vaper that forms next to the coil which prevents the coil from being cooled starting at 41:11 in his Vapour Trails/Haze Hour's Dec. 4 interview. This would likely mean that at some point temperature protection will do nothing but throttle back user-selected power because air flow and wicking technique won't provide enough cooling to overcome the superheated layer of vaper produced by high power going to the coil.
