Is the lip where the atomizer sits sealed? I know that was one of my fears with the vaporshark and using my kayfun on it, as the kayfun seems to leak a little fluid due to the poor air flow when on the shark - never happens on my provari 2.5 which doesn't seat the kayfun perfectly and leave a small gap(which happens to be a good thing in this case).

Or is the airflow good enough where condensation or whatever occurs doesn't happen? Anyone use theirs with a kayfun that could chime in?

Thanks!

just got my grey/silver, beautiful. surprised that black is more popular. I think the grey looks better

I would have gone for an all black if that was an option, but I'm happy with the grey/silver now that I have it in hand. It wasn't my first choice in color, had the gold pre-ordered, but that ended up not being a thing, so I'm glad I switched it to grey when I did. Really like this m class thus far.

grey was what i was going to get with the S class. Glad i got it in the M class even though i wanted the black face

I received the battery extension tube today for my S class SXmini. First let me say I am NOT a fan of the look, but I do like the improvements it offers such as longer battery run times and increased wattage output. I like how it feels in my large hands.
The SXmini's maximum output wattage range increases to 120 watts automatically when two batteries are used. The wattage adjustment is in tens of a watt up to 100 watts and after 100 watts it adjusts in 1 watt steps.
This battery extension tube will also work on the new M class.

I guess I misunderstood? there is not actually a problem but people don't like the warranty terms? if that is the case give me a break. no one "owes" us any warranty! that is a tool to increase perceived value and increase sales. I honestly do not ever base a purchase on the warranty. If you like it enjoy it while it works. if you can afford it get another one when it busts. different story if a product is just a defective design. like, ahem dna40. anyways so far nothing wrong with mine. every dna40 device busted on me within 48 hours. honestly I do not love the design of the sx mini but the chip is really what it's about.

if you like something and it is metal do not go at it! unless you are skilled with metal working. I am a bit but I have access to a fully stocked metal shop.

one question. does the tube work on the m? 120 on ni200 .1 build would be crazy.

That's not how it works. There are two different modes, power (watts) and joules. With the batteries in series (extension tube), in power mode you will be able to go up to 120w. Joules mode remains the same, 5-50J.

Do you need a firmware upgrade to get the 120w?
Are both batteries supposed to face the same way? + end up?

When I jury-rigged a tube from another mod to try, it was able to go up to 120 watts using the v1.3 firmware. Both batteries face the same way, with the + up..

Lol, I was trying to do the same thing using my SMY Stingray as the threads are the same. I just don't have enough of the extensions tubes to make it fit right and I'm not keen on spending $30 on a tube that'll make it look like I'm holding a big popsicle. Hoping someone will do a 3d cad and make something more ergo on the front of the unit that keeps to the original design.

Hello all! I grabbed an s class in preorder and have the extension tube enroute, I should have it Monday or Tuesday. Does anyone know of a firmware upgrade is requires to crank this baby up to a 120w lm

I did not have to do anything other than screw the extension tube on and insert two batteries on my S class.

I got to admit my SXmini with the extension tube is not the best looking thing. But I am loving the battery life. I put two freshly charged batteries in 24 hours ago and I am still vaping away with still 25% battery level. Another plus is the cap on the bottom of the tube just screws off with your hand so easy when it is time to change batteries.
I paid $19.99 for mine, but see the seller has raised the price to $29.99 now. No sure what happened with that.

The SXmini really shines with two batteries, so I am in the process of building a box mod now with the new J chip and two batteries along with an onboard balance charger.

Cool! Thanks y'all! I rarely go above 60 even on my ipv but I ordered it for the few times I want to use the power. The mod is so good looking with the 1 battery but battleaxe mode for 20bucks with that chip is worth it not to have to buy another mod. Haha

Although, should a dual batter sx350 become publicly available im all about it.
