Ogre meets the Charon Mini

Loving this thing so far. Only complaint, literally the only complaint, is that the button is too hard to press. Still not used to it.

Wonderful! Hope you get used to the button. Every once in a while I gave to reposition my finger to get a good solid press.

It’s really on me I suppose. I get pissed because I think I’m pressing the button, then realize a few seconds later I am not getting a draw. Pisses me off and since I refuse to blame myself, I blame the mod. It’s just a matter of getting used to it. I’m coming off the iPV8 that I used nearly daily for about two years, so it’s just a conditioning thing.

That ITV8 is a nice unit too. I just have to tape my battery door shut when I use it.

Never had a problem with the door at all, actually. The leather unbonded pretty quickly and it had serious wear and tear but it held together well and always fired when asked. I miss the little bugger, but not enough to go back…

I’m doing the same thing with a G_Box that is a replacement item. They told me 30 days and it’s only been half that, but I check now and then hoping…

I found a valid complaint finally.

It shouldn’t be edge beveled at the bottom like it is at the top. Makes it unstable and I’ve toppled it a few times (no damage). The base as it sits on a surface isn’t as stable as I would like it to be.

So far it is great, works amazingly.
To be honest it is a bit small my big mittsšŸ˜„ And the menu sysem is a bit strange, but it really does work great.
Overall I’m a happy camper.

Two months in and an honest complaint has arisen. While I have not yet seen the ill-effects of the chipset issues raised by @Sprkslfly, I’m seeing some wear and tear issues… one I basically expected, and one I did not…

First, the gold trim is wearing a bit due to my wedding ring being right there and rubbing. There’s a small chip in the clear coat that makes the OCD part of me twitch. But, these were pretty much expected.

The big one is the battery door on the wife’s Mini is ever-so-loose at the bottom and shifts a teeny bit. It didn’t do that when new. As far as I know, the wife has been treating it well and its not suffered any falls or big bangs. I noticed it when cleaning her IM build yesterday and I’ve never noticed it before. She said it doesn’t bother her much, but if it was me it would drive me up the grand canyon! Hope this affliction doesn’t visit my Mini any time soon!

And one other oddity- My clock was set to my smartphone when I first got it, and it’s held the time in memory all along so far… But, it’s now 10 minutes fast after two months. Irritating but I don’t look at the clock on it very often.

Thanks for the update! All great stuff to know. I do have to chuckle a little however. I have a $200 Yihi that has developed a little battery cover movement, a few $150 Lost vape and one $200 Yihi that are loosing finish. My clocks are always off on mods unless I set them with a new set of batteries. If you were to ask me if there was a perfect mod, I would simply say no. Even my mech tubes have some scratches for rolling and bouncing around.
