Is it me or is there a constant whisp of smoke coming from the wicks?

I saw that too ... lol
Interestingly though, the resistance they are firing at and are recommending on that video is incredibly low. Way lower than the supposed 0.08 that spec sheet states on Yihi's site. That would make building coils much easier.
i figured i would just sand it smooth for now. the shroud is soldered at the battery terminal. so i put it back. i don't know if i will be a repeat customer now. it is very nice but there are shortcomings. the paint. the gaps. $200+ should be the whole package imo. all my dna40 boxes died. don't know what i will do now. i mean this still functions which is the most important thing. i might just use this all beat up. it looks like the army took it on a mission. i do want the m-class even though i do not use nickel. i just don't want to pay that for something less than perfect. it is pretty close to perfect. i am sure a Picasso has flaws if you look hard enough. the finish completely failing is a bummer but i might be the only case. do you guys think i could tape it and sand it? what kind of tape to use? that would make it alright for me now i guess.
every mod i ever had failed in one way or another and i am easy on them. i might just get an istick and toss it after it dies. only thing is i can't wait 5 hours for charge. i am stumped.

I guarantee you could taste burnt cotton after that. No way it can smoke like that and not flavor the cotton some.
Indeed. When he sits the device upright you can even seen the blackened cotton under the wick.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but....
The physical properties of cotton are such that it has a fire point of 210 degrees C / 410 degrees F. So yes, since the device shown is set just above that point to cut off it is heating the cotton just above its fire point and it will smoke. If he had it set to 209 degrees it wouldn't smoke. They probably picked that temperature to shown how precisely accurate their board is too.
The device is working perfectly. You can't set it to 580 degrees F and expect the cotton not to burn.

Yes, cotton will start to char for burn at 410.
Still ... It's funny that they would post a video demonstrating "anti-dry burning" while recording the wick burning and smoking nearly the entire video. lol
Noticed they have unequal wraps on their atty build as well ... sheesh Yihi ... come'onnn man.

But...... my point was that if he had set it to 409F, you'd get the "non-believers" saying that their temp reading in inaccurate (that it could really be firing at 390F). He's physically playing with fire (pun intended) to demonstrate just how accurate their chip is. ie., he WANTS to get the smoke to demonstrate that the temperature is reading perfectly. It isn't going even 1 or 2 degrees over the setting (which would cause the cotton to burst into flame) and it isnt heating at 390F which wouldn't produce any smoke.
I get it. But what I'm saying is that it's a video demonstrating the no burning feature of their new chip ... even stating multiple times in the video "no burning" in subtitles. Yet in the video, the temp is set high enough that throughout the video you see nothing BUT smoke and burning.
It's just kinda funny ... like a heavy flow maxi-pad commercial where the woman is leaving behind a zombie trail.

The video wasn't that short. They could have done one at 400F and another at 415F to show that it works. Hopefully their official video shows that. I agree - poor planning. I could show the burning with a mech too..[emoji12]

I'll paraphrase the comment I left on YouTube...
The cotton isn't "burning" - it's "scorching". Look at your clothes iron - the temperature for cotton is 375-400F - anything over that, cotton will scorch. Most people set their temperature limit at 420F because that's when you really start to notice the scorching. Cotton doesn't actually "burn" until it reaches 760F. Besides, there may have been trace amounts of juice leftover - the video doesn't say it's fresh, unused cotton.
ladies and gentlemen , i am pleased to announce the birth of 2extension tubes. yes, i finally was able to get 2 extension tubes for my sx minis. it took awhile but i finally got yihi to send me a couple directly from yihi. at least now i will be able to use the sx mini in dual battery mode. it may be ugly to many of you but it will be interesting to see how well it works using all and not just half of its design. i will update this after they are received....now back to our regularly scheduled program......
you mean the metal dildo sticking out the bottom? can you leave it upright on a desk with that thing attached?
You might still be able to stand ok. I was thinking my 18650 extension tube that came with ZNA50 watt clone would suck on it. I actually like it on there makes it easy to hold and stands alone on table fine .

I made the first joke about that but I was not going to use the term for an artificial phallic object. a little decency gentleman.....
on that note: guys help me decide please! I am going to get the m-class. my c-class is naked and shivering. what other mod should I get? I have most of them already but something I already have is okay. i don't mean cheap stuff though. I was thinking of the limited hana or a gold variant. I just don't want to use the same mods all the time or they wear out. you gotta rotate. okay, that did not sound good on the heels of a phallic object!

do you have the ivp4 on pre-order? while not expensive, it sure looks like it hits all the right buttons. with a nice yihi chip i think it would be a welcome addition to anyone's collection. i know it is going to be in mine to back-up my sx mini's for those times i don't want to risk anything happening to my sx minis. it seems an easy way to see if temp control is for me(i skipped the m-class) at a price that is too good to pass up. i don't know what letter yihi will use after this current batch is updated and/or changed but i will be in for that version. right now my 2 s class are just fine for my needs and with the extension tube i can't think of any device i want/need right now . it seems the really high-end mods use the dna40 and i have no need to try that board/chip after my flawless use of yihi's product. not knocking evolv just isn't for me(especially after reading so many complaints- i don't like being part of the quality control process). which begs an interesting question- after the sx mini, what are the high-end devices that use a yihi chip?
ill go order the ipv4. the evolve is not high end per se. the sx mini is the same exact price as most dna40 mods. quite frankly I prefer the the yihi. I said "i prefer", okay?
the variant is the so called high end mod. it is not so great but the gold one is like serious money. I could get a smy 260 but I don't know if it will fit in my hand. that device will light fires and at a reasonable wattage runs like 2 weeks. plus the build quality looks good. just saw it under glass. the thing is variant can't really go to 250w because of the voltage. the smy can actually do it. if you need the tube why not go for 260 watts lol. I can't possibly see needing more than like 50 watts except to annoy people. plus at near 300 you can have a serious mishap. still I am looking at5 the smy. luckily you have to "unlock" over 80w on it. hana is the so called high end mod. all mine died and the button hurts my finger. I guess if I just want to be a jerk there is the gold variant but the gold hana might go up in value. at least until it plummets. pack v3 was $250 now it is $79. I guess I will wait a week for the m-class and anodize it. seriously though how are you using more than 60 watts? it might rain and you will have a fire to put it out lol.
the only real high end devices that use yihi are custom made and only seem to be available locally. I mean in big cities. like I saw a marble one for sale for $500. must have weighed 20 pounds too. I saw a elder wood one for $350. those are just some skilled guy makes a one off though. not in stores. well I mean they were on consignment. the only device I know of period that kills the bank is variant and it is not really worth it. I have the titanium one but doubt I will get the gold. production yihi and evolve seem to max out at $200 now. there are a lot more evolve choices though.
