E. Conclusions and comments of the Internet user author of the review

When handling, the SX mini leaves a clear feeling of quality and solidity. The rounded angles are pleasant, and its shape changes the classic rectangular boxes 🙂

I did not find its weight in the specs and I do not have enough to weigh it but I would say that it is moderately heavy: you feel it well when you have it in your pocket, without however distorting it 🙂

The SX mini allows you to vape up to 60 W and has a bypass mode which allows it to be used as a mecha but retaining the protection of the electro. In this mode, we can reach 85 W!

It accepts resistances from 0,15 to 3 ohms, a range which offers many possibilities of setup. Being able to go this low in resistance was until recently reserved for mecha mods; it is now possible while benefiting from the security provided by electronics.

The screen can be rotated and navigation is simple. We navigate through the menus using the buttons, and we modify the settings by tilting the mod to one side or the other.

The display is clear and very comprehensive. The resistance value shown seems accurate and corresponds to what a correct quality ohmmeter indicates.

The mod offers 5 memories which keep 5 different settings, very practical to quickly adapt to the chosen ato.

Besides the power adjustment, there is the possibility to select 3 modes: Soft, Standard, Powerful. These modes act on the way in which the voltage is delivered:

• Soft: at fire, the mod starts below the selected power, then goes up gradually

• Standard: the voltage delivered is constant throughout the fire

• Powerful: aufire, the mod starts above the selected power, then gradually increases.

  This mode is particularly useful to compensate for a “diesel” effect.

The pad of the 510 connector which was a screw on the previous version (but not adjustable, which caused some after-sales service), is now a spring-mounted brass pad. The 22 mm atos fall flush, without contact problem. The thread is precise and deep, and a slot allows the use of atos whose air flow is from the bottom.

It is possible to recharge the battery via the USB port; even if the use of a charger is always preferable, this possibility is very useful on the move.

The battery is easily accessible by unscrewing the hatch with a coin.

The USB port also allows, when the box is connected to a PC, to use the SXi software. Via this software, you can access the settings of the box, but also update the firmware when a new version is available. The update is done in seconds.

In use, the switch is large and well placed, allowing easy handling. The switch as the 2 adjustment knobs are precise, and leave the impression of a neat design.

The screen, placed on the side and set back, is easily accessible and well protected against inadvertent impact. When idle, the screen turns off after 1 minute, preserving the battery life. 

The quality of the vape is at the rendezvous, thanks to the great performance of the SX350 chipset.

In conclusion, despite a relatively high price, the SXmini is a safe investment for those looking for a box of excellent quality, versatile and relatively discreet, without having to go beyond 60/85 W.

I find it well above other (cheaper) models of comparable dimensions.
