Inside the Yocan Flat Mini: Clicky Buttons, $12
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2026 9:09 pm
A reviewer who burns through a lot of 510 batteries picked up the Yocan Flat Mini at his local smoke shop for about $12 and came away impressed — mostly for the physical buttons and the little LCD screen.
Form factor and build
It's a square, slab-style battery that sits on a desk on its own. He says it's thin — not much thicker than a pencil — and the build feels a step above the price point, with a more premium metal feel than the older Flat Plus.
Screen and controls
Five clicks to power on, starting at 3.2V. Physical up/down buttons sweep the voltage from 1.8 to 4.2V — wide range. The LCD shows voltage, puff count, ohms readout, and session length. Double-tap fires a 10-second preheat.
He prefers mechanical buttons over single-button tap controls, and calls these the clickiest ones he's tried lately. USB-C charge.
How it hits
Running a Northern Lights cart, he started at 3.3V, bumped to 3.4V, then dropped to 2.5V to test flavor. The low setting felt light and didn't torch the terpenes; 3.3–3.4 was the sweet spot.
Against the Flat Plus
Side-by-side with the older Flat Plus (900 mAh, three fixed presets 2.8/3.2/3.8, no screen, green/white/red LED), the Mini loses on battery size but wins on screen, full voltage adjustment, and button feel. The Plus was $15; the Mini was $12.
Bottom line
He'd pick the Mini up again if he spots one. The trade-off is the smaller 380 mAh cell, but for someone who wants a real screen, full variable voltage, and clicky buttons at $12, it's hard to argue.
