If you have a great vape then there's no need for better unless you want to spend money.

What I find makes the Yihi the best (for me) is the huge power band (9.5V on the 550 chip with 2 bats.). Takes 3 on a DNA and many other mods to do that and it opens more build possibilities. A 0.5Ohm load can be pushed to 180W. 2 bat DNA 250 can only muster 77W. Even the 500 chip is pretty impressive.

The Yihi's have imperceptible voltage sag with weak batteries. It either delivers your exact vape or it stops. Never think batteries weak, think batteries dead.

Resistance locking is holding a button(s) and never drifts. You can put the mod in the fridge, leave it in the sun, the vape only changes due to viscosity of the juice being different.

I can flip tanks around easily, switch configs and it's spot on with no fuss at all.

Power curves simultaneously with temp curves is pretty sweet but the built in curves handle just about everything easily at a click.

I press fire and it's exactly the same until my juice is out. I vape it dry for maintenance and my wicks are never singed and come out bone dry.

My first Yihi is 2 years old and fires exactly as it always has.

Is this better? Is it worth the price? Depends on the use case. I'm excited about these lower priced Yihi's but they will never be cheap.
I always hear that yihi and DNA chips do TC better than any other chip. Like noticeable difference. My question is - I like the tc of my Battlestar, it gives me a nice consistent, smooth, steady vape. Not too hot, not too cool. So how is yihi and DNA doing tc so much better? I can't imagine a smoother, consistent vape so I don't understand how a chip can do it better. My Battlestar already does it great so is these chips performance just a figment of people's imagination. You know, "I paid more for it so it must be better"?
I am new to vaping and I bought this mod and I want to learn how to use it but there is no in depth tutorial anywhere, it is very confusing and intimidating Plz, any advice will help....

You can look at videos for the IPV Eclipse or the SXMini G Class, the interface and usage should be nearly identical.

It's rather simple 5 clicks on fire turn on and the it's 5 for menu 3 to lock. Menu is extremely straight forward then use center to lock ohms and left to cycle through strength and right for memory's when you are in sxiq s1 hold center button then select first .5sec power and so on till 10 seconds. Rather simple but the manual is written poorly, wtf is conserve mode??

I saw a video yesterday that seems to show them showing an updated battery door which doesn't pop open and someone showing the process for swapping out the old door with the new.



There we are.

Still torn between this and a few other mods, there is a decent deal on the sxmini q class, a DNA75c Therion, Hcigar VT75D.

Ugh, too much choice.

New MX Class and T Class should be showing up for sale soon. The T Class still is not listed on Yihi's site but the MX has been for a little while. Its still not in stock anywhere.

Love the looks of the MX interface but not really thrilled with the layout of the mod. Hope to see the SX480J show up in other mods

I talked with GTRS, they are in the process of shipping replacement doors to vendors according to order date.

I was under the impression its the same as the G Class. There is a video on Youtube but its in German. Its not my cup of tea but some might like it as another SX550J option.

Thanks been looking all over seems they have it on 7.7 tho... maybe they are raising the wattage? Gtrs is to release sx520 222w on December (got pushed back from October) 21700/20700/18650... could be their 2X700/18650 version also saw on a site the camo version saying it takes 1 or 2 cells... 57.7fw) but doubt that.
