Nice find @Sickboy77 when I looked on monday it was still 1.2.2.
@LynkedZA so far I see

• it has an updated prompt when putting in a new coil, asks you if you want the new resistance or the previous old one.
• text on the puffs menu is larger, possibly all text in the menu is larger, display screen is the same.
  
• screen can be flipped upside down

I never found flipping the screen upside down to be useful but sounds good whats ur opininion on the alien im considering one

Alien has bad paint wear, peels on some versions, but if you can live with that then is spot on for performance and comfort, its my daily driver.
Im not a fan of your other choices except maybe the new Minikin V1.5 with boost.

I havent seen any negatives on the forum regarding the Hotcig R150, really good looking mod.

and then easier on the pocket would be the Evic VTC dual.

a good workhorse but nothing much to look at.

Sold my minikin v2 for this. Much easier in the pockets. Excellent build quality and fits 25mm tanks

Hi there i also have the alien with the paint issue apparently it was a big batch that went wrong. The new ones is perfect solid paint. Mine is in a sleeve and that stopped the easy chipping. Great mod and battery life.

Did it. Quick and easy.

Got the new coil menu and it does look better as well as saw the option to flip the screen although I doubt I'll be using that.

There also seems to be changes to the way the mod behaves when auto lock is turned off

Have you noticed a drop in power since the update? It almost feels if I have to push higher watts or higher temp in tc mode. Maybe I'm just going cookoo

Maybe it changed the way the mod read resistance. If the mod reads lower than before u will have less voltage at the same wattage setting

Might need to see a vet, nothings changed on mine.
Volts / read ohms= exactly stated current (in soft mode)

I think I will definitely go see a vet then ... and maybe even an animal behaviorist whIle I'm at it. It's about time I stop linking my privates and chasing postman
Mesah thinks mesah getting flusa maybe. Or jar jar binx syndrome - only way out is euthanasia.

I got mine a week or so ago and I really like it.Very comfortable in the hand,great fire switch and screen.Mine arrived with the latest chip version.efun top.com has them for $44.00usd.well worth it.IMO if it had a user programmable preheat like my Maxo it would be almost perfect.That said I highly recommend it.P. S.the Minikin is very nice although at about twice the price of the Alien.

I got a sleeve that is designed for it coming in the mail,only a couple of bucks and I'm using Lg he2 Brownies ,also Lg he 4s Lgs never let me down. I 've also used Samsung 2500Ah (the light green) that are fine but prefer Lg .

@Ashley A good to hear you found the update easy,some reviewers have said it to be a bit convoluted.
