Got really bad Fomo

PS : My Mum once said to me Noodles (Maurice) PEOPLE WHO SAY MONEY DOSNT BUY HAPPINESS ARE BUYING THE WRONG THINGS !!
You read my mind. I came here mainly to ask if there was motion.
One thing that I forgot to mention. Periodically check the plastic screen protector. They tend to slide inwards on occasion, leaving the actual screen portion of the chip exposed. Simply slide it back over...
Hi everyone, just hopping into ECF. The xvostick is one of my favorite mods. I just wish there was a replacement kit for my Brass buttons to ss... I was even comsidering buying a clone to replace them
Hi KL, and welcome to ECF!
Are they still selling clones? They weren't all that great, and I thought they all disappeared (but not sure). That's a good thought though. Let us know...
And yes, the sliding protector is pretty common, from what I understand.

Just put a Squape up for sale. If it sells and you still have your Xvo in stock, I'll take it off your hands.
I do not have access to the classifieds (yet) on this forum, but if you still have a squape for sale i would buy it..
I have a plethora of feedback on ebay and ................., i believe some people on that site frequent ECF as well and would vouch for me
StealthyTX is one of our infamous brass haters. You're good. [emoji4]

Oh, gotcha.
So, have any of these brass-haters found a fix for it yet? I dont necessarily 'hate' brass, for me its more about the maintenance. Brass tarnishes, SS doesnt for the most part. Id rather not have to do a routine button polishing, but i respect those who like brass and do so for aesthetic purposes.
Besides ordering it in the device straight off miniecig, i dont see an easy way to switch over, besides the clone method i mentioned(or another authentic, but why lol)
I wish Chels would offer the SS buttons as spares, i dont see it on his site or anywhere online

Because I don't want to risk anything getting inside, via the buttons, I've opted to just live with the patina on them. I do clean the battery cap though, to keep that shiny. The buttons don't show all that much anyway, since they're low.
@TheWestPole provided some marvelous & detailed instructions for cleaning the buttons safely (earlier in this thread), but patience & coordination are not my strongest points. So bring on the patina!
Since Mini no longer sells this model (amazingly so), the best bet is probably to send them a message (via their website, not via ECF). They might sell you a set (be patient). I don't even want to risk taking mine apart, for fear of messing up the hermetical seal (at the 510 pin). There was one report of a potentially serious issue, caused by juice getting inside, by one user who HAD taken theirs apart (just to thoroughly clean his Xvo).
Since the value of the Xvo (for me) is the shape, hand feel, and performance (vs. the aesthetics), I'm OK with the less-than-perfect buttons on my brass one.
Which, I guess is a little easier said when there's a SS one sitting right next to it. So, "not really fair" (I get it).
I'd be interested to hear what you decide to do, assuming you decide to do anything at all.
This thread has served as a fairly decent informational stop for owners, and potential owners, so feel free to share whatever experiences you may have; be it with this issue or any other.
Wait.. they dont sell the xvostick? This is the first i am hearing of that, i just thought he was taking forever to restock his store. Wow, thats unfortunate. What is he going for instead, 26650 mods or Sx350J chips? i like my dna..
I'm sure they're do more if they had enough demand, but officially, they did discontinue them a while back. Everybody wanted the Yihi chips instead. For my purposes, the original is still (by FAR) the best of the lot, and I'm really glad I got in on them before Chels went haywire with the larger ones.
But, like everything, it's all about personal preferences, eh?

I'll say! The 26650 with the Yihi looks like an abomination. Wish they would just keep churning out the standard XvoSticks. I'd like to buy a couple more brand new ones.

to the OG Seat Belt!!Sorry, King. That was just a pull and a ploy to get our bud, the Stealthy One, to come on in here and orate on his dislike for brass.
It's a bit larger than I'd prefer.
A bit.

Alas, he did not take the bait. But I owe him for that dislike, as this unbelievably beautiful red one is getting MUCH more play than I had originally expected. Brass & all.
