After using the ML and Q I found that cutout helps to keep the mod slipping through your hand, so I see it as useful now.

I actually like that stainless tube on both the ML and the Q. I rarely use my M since I purchased the ML. I even use the S more than the M.
Actually vaping on the Q topped with the Merlin. Really great single coil atty.

I guess I first had a adverse reaction to it because I hate advertising on products. That's one reason why the Boxer mods never appealed to me. I especially hate advertising on clothes and I avoid buying them if I can.

Another thing I found useful on the Q is the ridge on the back top. It's another feature that helps prevent slipping. I can tell YIHI put a lot of thought into the design. It beats the plain box design. :cool:

It sure does beat a plain old box design. I thought my MLs were the most comfortable devices I had to hold. The Q is even better. I'm very happy with it and glad I picked one up.

I agree the comfort on the Q is even better. That's why I quit using my ML.

P Brusardo just got one for review. I'm curious to hear his opinion of the device.
He said initially he didn't think it felt as solid as the ML. He never was able to run the numbers on the ML. He had some issue with the he received.
Looking forward to the numbers results.

I have to agree with him on that. The ML is more solid. I think you could run over the ML with a car and it would survive.

Looking forward to his review also.... and the numbers too.....

PBusardo's latest video of 6/7/2016 has a "rant" you might listen to as it talks to e-cig safety....

With the upgrades on the M's I have I have them in daily rotation with my 1 ML. I can't really tell a difference except the ML is a little smaller. Been watching reviews and I can't figure some of these reviewers. They review a top of the line TC device and then only use it in Power mode and say how good it is why would anyone have a Q or a DNA200 and just use them in Power mode is beyond me. That's what I like so well about the SX's is their accuracy in TC. I've been using SS316L with a TCR of 00092 and it does perfect on a YiHi board on a JT board you don't know if your going to get straight power or what. I think I am going back to Ti but I want to get one more mod and right now it is between SXminQ Ferrari Red and a Lost Vapes Triade DNA200. I have never owned a DNA since I bought on of the first DNA40's which were a nightmare got an SX and never went back So getting the Q would simple be for the looks and battery life plus the way they stand up seems like whatever you do they just keep working perfectly. Even my S and I don't care for Kanthal but still works like new doesn't look like it though.

I still love my ML's. I treat all my vape gear like golf clubs. Buy them use them and when the technology changes I get the latest upgrade. After that I use the others every once in a while. I too have all of my Provari's. The last one I bought was the P3. Since Yihi hit the scene I have been buying the SX exclusively. It took me a few days for the Q to become equal to my ML.
Trying to find the perfect topper for the Q. Right now the Avocado is my favorite. I'm enjoying the look of a smaller atty on the Q

I still love my M's and don't really notice that big of a diff in the way they do TC. I have 5 m's 2 still in the box 1ml a daily driver. I was going to put it away when I first got it during that $100 sell off at VapeDojo just wished I had gotten 3. I have 1 m that has a PITA battery screw in thingy but I make it work the others all work pretty well. That is one thing I like better on the ML never have a problem changing batteries.

I have 2 M's, never used the ML. Got my Q today and must say I'm truly digging it thus far.

Question though-- I'm using SS316L with a custom TCR. While using the custom TCR, the mod doesn't display how many joules ive used on these batteries--instead it has a static display of the TCR. I can't figure out how to show the joules.

You can't see the joules display in joules mode. You would jump back to power mode to get a joules reading.
The ML has the same design feature.

But I can see the joules display in joules mode for every setting except a custom TCR. If I switch to ti or ss304, it displays the joules.

This is weird to me. The M displayed the joules count in all modes.

I believe with the pre-set TC function, the joules consumption is displayed. With TCR TC function it is not. At least this is the case with both my sx350jv2 boxer.

I just checked and you are correct. I only use SS 316 so I always use the manual TCR. Haven't used NI 200 in forever and never used TI.
They did this with the ML as I said before.
For me it actually worked well because I stopped looking at the joules counter all the time.

Haha I'm glad it works for you! But I'm going to miss having that counter there. I might try out some 304; I like the count so much that I'd consider switching wire to use it!

I was bummed what I got my first ML. Got used it pretty quickly. I used obsess over my joules counter.
Now with the Q I just change the batteries out after 2 days.
Sorry for the mis information.
