My M Class just... died yesterday. It shut itself off and wouldn't come back on.
This was my pampered lil' pillow mod... never left the house, or put in pocket, or updated, or driven over 25W. Sammy 25Rs only etc etc... Maybe she got bored with my love. :( When I get the next one, I'm strappin' her to the handlebars & pulling her hair.

The good news is both Yeti Vape and Yihi have been responsive. The bad news is... 2-3 weeks. :eek:
I'm still 100% convinced of this mod's quality. Several G-searches failed to find any reported problem at all with these.

Still... this minor setback has exposed a serious flaw in my mod strategy... Clearly, I don't have enough of 'em.

Enter Vapor Joes deals... This is a known site of sinister temptation. I'm a guy, I have ADD and ModDD. And I like shiny things. :rolleyes:

THIS is 3.5 inches of raw fury. (so we have that in common...) I got the black one.
It detects & supports Titanium (Ti) and Nickel (Ni200) wire separately and differently. (is my vague understanding)
Ohhh man, that's like firing a shot across the bow of the Yihi juggernaut... mebbe a future firmware upgrade?

But it's a pre-order... 2-3 weeks out. Dammit Joe! I need immediate gratification!
Hmmm, Where to turn???

Back to the VJ's deal thread!... OMG, this time it's true love, I'm sure. The new Kankles Mini Vapor Flask... or some such.
I got the green one. :) And I was briefly tempted to touch myself.... <-- That's a lie, it wasn't brief.

...wait,:eek: that's a pre-order too! 2 or 3 weeks, Crap! Still... it's too cool not to order!
Dammit Joe! WHY do you hate immediate gratification? WHYYY??? ;)

Sorry to hear about you sxmini. Yihi has been awesome though. They replaced my grey sxmini because the finish wore off after only 2 weeks. Eicigitty was 2-3 weeks back order too so they refunded me completely and I got the stealth black one from Delaware vapor.

If you need a TC mod, I have a brand new, unopened Heatvape Invader Mini in black for sale in the trading post. I preordered it and then found a store that had them in stock so I bought it and then it was too late to cancel the preorder. It's a 50w TC device and works really well.

I spent about an hour looking at the VF Mini tonight. Gearbest has them on flash sale for $41 atm. States they ship in 3-5 days.

Reading good things about the latest Vaporshark clones too. Liking the form factor better on those, but Gearbest also has a flash sale on the Xtar VC4 charger ($24) i've been eyeing. Decisions decisions.

I wanna buy that one... ;)The black chrome one doesn't really do me.

But that refund thing sounds interesting. My local B&M has 'em. I might call 'em & ask after they get it back.

I have the same disease though. Bought a second sxmini last weekend at VS. I really wanted the silver body with black trim one, but VS only had the black body/silver trim one and I couldn't turn it down when they offered a 20% off coupon. Now I've traded my provari p3 for a IPv4

I just don't trust gearbest. I want to but I've heard so many horror stories with them, especially preorders

USPS is crazy. Mine showed shipping label created in Florida on May 26 - then nada. Suddenly, it's out for delivery in California :)

Very timely actually, since my IPV Mini 2 just stopped working!
I told you the miami (opa locka) hub is screwed up. Living in south florida, all our mail goes through 2 hubs, opa locka or West Palm Beach. When it goes through opa locka, theres a good chance it gets lost or not scanned for a couple days. I just had a package come from fasttech, it was supposed to be delivered tuesday and went through opalocka. They sent it to the wrong post office so the next day they rerouted it to west palm then to me. Funny thing is I live between opa locka and west palm so they should have sent it directly to my post office.

Am I prophetic or what?!
Like I said, oompa loompa Florida is a tear in the space time continuum.
What really happened was ........The aliens did it!!!
oompa loompa is part if the Bermuda triangle. The aliens grabbed the package went into the wormhole and transferred it through the continuum to California.

Mail lady just delivered mine. I actually like the color & finish. Not as pink as I expected and a little more red. Don't think I'll wrap it now it looks nice next to the black one. :) I'm on honeymoon with it right now, may change my mind later.

Does anyone know of any mods out there that uses the SX350J board with dual 18650's. Seems like the closest one is the IVP4 but it doenst use the 350j board. I really love this 350J board but looking to increase battery life without going to the battle ax. A nice dual battery box with the 350j would be awesome...

I've ordered there before with no problems. Taking the same mental approach i always took with Fasttech in the past though, of course. Order and forget about it...when you get it you get it lol.

I love the color :) So, I'm thinking I should wait to update it until I don't have to patch the update?

ive been considering ordering the evic vt for the hell of it but I've heard so many nightmares about pre-orders from gearbest. Plus the only way I would buy that evic vt is if there is a rebuildable head for that ego one. I like the fact that it matches the mod but I'm not into occ heads

The 350J is on the Yihi only so far, AFIK. The 330 is available on tons of mods though...
I would even consider buying the board alone and sending it to a custom mod builder lol

(I just preordered one in a co-op - someone lock me up LOL)

I'm totally in love with this little SX mini - can't think why I waited so long to get one!
Thems some pretty strong words from someone who is a Reo user!
Glad you finally get to experience what all of us here have with ours!

Truth be told I haven't touched my Reos in quite a while (since I discovered subohm tanks) I particularly love one of them (a red sl/lp), but they just don't do it for me anymore. I feel like a traitor! (Guess I should change my sig, huh?)

This little Barbie mod is fabulous!

I had a Reo, and loved it...or should I say, loved the concept of it. The "squonk" factor was cool, and I don't mind a mechanical mod-- when I'm around the house... When I'm out and about, I like my regulated mods and the consistency from first toot to the last on a battery. The Reo was great in the amount of juice it held, and overall size, but when it meant that I was carrying a half dozen batteries with me for a day out... Yea, it didn't last long for me.

Also cool that you found the deal you did on the SX...and in your preferred color choice :)

So is anyone else hitting Yihi update page as often as I am in anticipation of the new patch? Thought they would have released it already.
I know, I'm hitting it way too often. My $$ is on the fact that they would have released the test version formally, as it fixed the Eco mode issue. But the mode order was unchanged, so I would think they are fixing that as well. Honestly, the most annoying bug out of all is the one that was noticed today- when you come out of the menu it throws you back to m1...

I don't know, I've spent way too much time over the past few days on ECF waiting to hear any updates...starting to get bored and may have to go pick a fight with dr g for something to do- and then place bets on which moderator bans me.

I'm waiting for you guys to tell me it works :) I have a very busy weekend with a kid graduating from high school, so I can't afford to mess it up and be Barbie-less! (Particularly as my IPV Mini 2 just bit the dust last night). Not that I don't have backups (and backups for my backups....LOL)

That one does bug the tapioca poopoo out of me.
I was emailing with yihi earlier about the test version,
I'm not sure if its the language barrier but according to "Amy" the engineers claim they changed the order for a reason.

Have no clue what the hell that could be but after the same response 3 times I didn't want to be craphead

There's more to it than that but most others are unaware. And I ain't telling my secrets. :)

Oh, it works, and to be honest, the Eco mode, and enhancements to the joules mode is well worth the little "annoyances" that you have to work around. None of them "brick" the mod, but some are more annoying than others lol

Yea I been talking to "Amy" for a couple weeks now. Sends me an email today asking I try the new firmware that was released 2.1. Stated to her I already had it and it doesn't fix the problem but introduces "Check Battery" error. She replies back let me check be back soon; She then replies back with ver 2.21 that I had also had since Tuesday to try that.. Told her I already had that and it does't fix the preheats but does fix the Eco "Check Battery" error of 2.1. She replies, got it will check that again, will let you know later.:rolleyes:

Well, I'm glad that they are using some of us as testers, it makes me feel so much better about them as a company.
I haven't had the check battery error yet and have ben in eco mode for two days now,

Pull your battery and put it back in while staying in Eco mode. Or are you on 2.21 already?

Patch being 2.21 Test version? That version doesn't do it only 2.1 that I'm aware of.

My oldest graduated tonight with a 4.3 weighted gpa.. Can't figure out where the time went. Feel like it was just yesterday that I was driving him to kindergarten, now he's a high school graduate, high school football and lacrosse official and an electricians apprentice getting ready for electrical college next year

I give huge respect to YiHi for working through these update issues in such an open and honest manner. I find it refreshing for a manufacturer to treat it's users as adults and partners in fixing issues rather than silence and hiding behind unauthorized spokesholes like dr g and retird to try and defuse ugly issues like Evolv does. This gives me more confidence in YiHi and makes me much more likely to be brand loyal going forward.

I know not all issues have been fixed, but well done YiHi.

I've thought the same thing. On more than one occasion. I started my life over so I have some in their 30's and some at home in high school. They grow up to fast. Makes me feel older each time I think about it. :) And btw congrats!!!

I had mine very late .... she's off to college in the Fall, so it'll be strange getting my life back at this stage in the game! I had to promise her I wouldn't turn her bedroom into a vape room...LOL (Did I lie, hmmm?)

Beds are very comfortable to vape on with some big pillows, and dressers have lots of drawers for vape gear. I'm sure you can make the bedroom work and keep it a bedroom. More or less.

Dang rebel between you and Holman in the other forum DNA thread you guys tore the Dr and retird a new a**hole. I been having the same type of BS in the SX350j vs DNA 40 thread. Just came across that thread a bit ago.
Edit: I guess it's the Evolv Tech thread.

Thanks! Lol. Told you I've been spending way too much time over there waiting for news on SX updates...and whe I get bored over there I go hunting for douchebags... Last time I did it, Retired1 gave me a weeks vacation for saying that dr g was fellating Evolv.
