SX MINI chip VS DNA

BAM 
In general I have seen far less problems with SX Mini mods than I have with DNA mods. To be fair though we are comparing one company (Sx Mini) to the DNA which has many different companies making mods with their board in it. Because of that, some mod manufacturers are going to have different quality control standards. It's just the nature of that particular beast. While Evolv does stand behind their board and they do have a service center here in the U.S. they do take quite some time to turn around their mods for service. At the same time, I can not comment on the turn around time for Sx Mini because I have never had to send one of their mods back. Take from that statement what you will. Both are great boards but for longevity purposes I would have to give the edge to SX Mini for the simple fact that I personally have never had an issue with any of their mods.

I have seen less problems with SXmini and Yihi chipped mods than DNA mods as well. DNA'S probably sell more so more problems are to be expected with higher sales.
There was a rash of problems with I think the newer DNA250 chips when they first came out. It could have been the DNA200, not really sure. I do remember a lot of people having to return there mods for service.
I say just get the one that best fills your need better. If your a power user and like preheat then get the SXmini. The DNA has an edge in TC and is more user adjustable if your into a lot of options.

Both Yihi (SX Mini) and Evolv (DNA) are on par with each other, similar in analogy to buying a Chevy Cruz (cheaper, affordable, gets the job done, Yihi) to buying a Cadillac (pricier, better warranty, and better company backing, Evolv). I've used both brands of boards, Yihi boards in all your big name Chinese mods (Pioneer4U, Sigelei, etc), they just work, can handle a ton of abuse, and just stand up on their own, some times better than a comparable DNA board. I've also owned several, Evolv board, mods, Hana Modz DNA30, DNA40, Vaporshark rDNA40, Innokin SVD 2.0 (re-worked DNA20), Therion DNA166/200, and a HCigar vt75 (DNA75), all of them were consistent, great voltage signal, their TC in the later boards is beyond what other chip/boards can do, have only had one go bad on me needing shipping back, that being the Vaporshark (a lot of problems with the DNA40 boards as a whole group), their DNA75/166/200 boards have had very few issues, but the DNA250 looks plagued like the DNA40 was. It basically boils down to price, and warranty, Yihi being a China based company, most you'll see is a 90day warranty, but I have Yihi boards that have outlasted many another mod (IPV2, Sigelei Mini 30watt, IPV3, and Sigelei 150watt), where with Evolv chips if there are still board models available (example DNA40 devices) if the board goes you can still ship it to Evolv or the mod manufacturer and have it repaired, sometimes still for free 3 to 4 years down the road.
In the end it just boils down to price and warranty level you are wanting, on a budget and need a good all round gets the job done, go a Yihi, have a little extra cash and wanting a better warranty along with a better voltage output signal and better TC and programmabilty (the DNA Escribe software) then go with an Evolv DNA mod.

i own 3 IPV mods -2 are over 2 years old w/o issues. Its not just the board. I think both boards are equal quality, but ATM until FDA regs set in and so forth Evolv has the better warranty. FDA regs MAY or MAY NOT change that. Its more about the mod itself in terms of abuse and wear and tear
