SX Mini M Class - Problem after firmware upgrade

[TheVaper]

Hi

I upgraded my SX Mini M today and ended up with Joule mode not working

I have an NI-200 0.15 Ohm coil. It worked GREAT before the upgrade

Now It's NOT On Joule mode it's giving me 0.06 Ohm reading and when I fire it gives me "dry coil no liquid" error, power mode is working fine

I tried to step the firmware down to 120W FW and back again to 150W FW, still not working

what can I do now???

Bump for an answer and good luck to you....

Try installing the original firmware? FWIW, the new firmware only really applies if you are using the extension tube to make it a dual battery mod. If you are not using the dual battery extension tube, there is really no need to update the firmware. The other changes isn't enough incentive for me to potentially brick my mod.

Don't mind me asking, did you resync the resistance after the update?

In regards to the firmware update, I agree that the new features may not be useful to some people. However, there are bug fixes as well and some people posted in the other thread that the temperature limiting is much more accurate than previous firmware.

Then again...if you are vaping happily and have no issues in the previous firmware, it's best to stick with it until a stable firmware is released. Same like smartphones.

Just my 2 cents

Have you watched the PBusardo review of this device on Youtube? I believe he mentions that issue, and that it took powering the device off and back on again to clear that.

if powering off/on does not clear, reflash the original firmware back on. re do flash w/newest firmware and problem will be gone. Newest firmware still worth the flash since TC more accurate & economy mode will also stretch battery life.

I am having the same issue, I upgraded the firmware because I was experiencing a similar problem on the original firmware. Before the upgrade all TC coils would read properly in power mode, but would read 0.31 in joules mode. This obviously affects the vape and it was unusable for TC. I did the upgrade with no atomizer on the device. I power cycled it to make sure that the new firmware was loaded. Put on a Subtank Mini with a nickle core and it reads 0.14 in power mode, I switch it to joules mode and now reads 0.06. It reads the same no matter what build I put on the device. I don't understand why it reads the resistance correctly in power mode and then reads 0.31 (before upgrade) or 0.06 (after upgrade) on all atomizers. Am I missing something in settings that would cause this. I have not trouble building ni200 coils on the DNA40 and they also work great on the Invader Mini, I bought one of the Vaporshark Subtank nickle cores to try to eliminate me as the error, but has the same effect. It works on the DNA40 and does not on the SX.

I think there was a recent upgrade.
Im getting a mod with the sx350j chip and the upgrade for that on the yihi page has been updated from what it was last time i checked.

Have you resynched the atomizer back to the mod in joules mode?

Attach the atomizer and then press both the up and down buttons at the same time while both the mod and atomizer are at room temperature. This should make the mod redetect the atomizer resistance.

 

[Mr.P!nk!e]

@Completely Average thanks for that, now I feel completely stupid. That has corrected the issue.

I finally got around to doing the upgrade a couple of days ago and everything seems to work fine for me.

Thank you for this suggestion sir. I upgraded to the new firmware couples day back and was stuck to 0.06. Now it reads 0.169 and I don't have the "dry coil, no liquid" issue anymore.

I tried to update mine to V2.2 today but no luck as m using Mac. Did Managed to find a windows 7 laptop but then maybe its x86 format, was unable to click on the install driver within the software. Hopefully can find a x32 or x64 windows device tomorrow. Sigh....

All of my laptops and PC's are Windows 7 - 64 bit. None of them will detect the Mini as a valid device. Driver software was downloaded with anti-virus off on all three prior to connecting. None of the pc's/laptops will detect the mod either with batteries in + link or batteries out. Could I have a bad chip of is it my Windows version?

 

[roxynoodle]

I updated both of mine with Windows 7. I'm not quite remembering, but it seems to me I had some little glitch the first time I did it that I thought was due to the OS.

I'm lost at this point. Same error not detecting detecting device on all of Windows 7's... Yihi CS won't answer me either. I'm wondering if I have a bad chip.

Accidentally hit post reply lol. Sorry!

 

[BK_Malik]

No problem lol

 

[jseah]

Well, you do need to have the battery in the mod, and you have to go through the mod menu to set LINK to "On". Did you also install the driver into your computer?
