These are my personal first thoughts (subject to change lol). I've only used it for half a day, things like battery life and general everyday use, I'll post later.
First thing I noticed was how nice this mod looks and feels in the hand, after using the SnowWolf for sometime now, this does feel a lot more comfortable to hold. The finish on the metal is great and I actually like the shape of it, I see no reason to use the silicone case and it seems to wipe clean easy, it's also smaller than I thought it would be from the pictures I've seen. The battery door isn't quite as solid as the SnowWolf or the IPV3 Li, it's not going to fall off and there is no door rattle but a little pressure and the door will slide open, I only really noticed it because I'm coming from the SW with has super strong magnets, for most, its absolutely fine. I like the copper connectors on the battery points and on the 510 spring loaded connection, nice touch there. The buttons are really nice on this, no button rattle and they have a click to them when pressed, a lot better quality than lets say my Segelei 100 plus, ahhh, this is where that "sigh" come in. If only they had just moved all the buttons and display down a bit, the fire button is slightly to high, its not uncomfortable but I noticed it.
Wattage Mode..
This may sound daft but it was so nice to see the battery percentage and the volts on the display, something that I missed on the SnowWolf, Ok the SW shows the volts when you fire it but I always thought that was a little pointless, either way, its nice to have them back.
The biggest thing for me when using this is the instant hit you get when firing it, as many know, the SnowWolf had a weird delay where the power would be halved when you fired it after the device had been stood awhile,(I hear that is fixed in the later models) it's refreshing to pick this up and it fires at its set wattage. It hits like a train.
Temp Mod
This will be a little vague because it's not something I really use that much yet but the Segelei goes up to 100 joules, I think this is equal to watts, so 100 watts in temp mode.. You get the usual settings, changing temperature, setting it to fahrenheit or celsius but there are no presets, although going back to wattage mode it does remember your last settings.. It all pretty much works the same as the IPV3 Li as they share the same chip which makes me wonder why the Segelei has on Titanium support but the ipv does.. It's not as if Segelei can add it either with a future update as there is no USB port either, so no updates or upgrades for this.
Cons..for some maybe..
I would of liked the battery door magnets to be a little stronger, it's mostly me being picky.
No Titanium support
No USB port
Button placement, it's a little too high
Menu - This annoys me, having to go through the menu to turn it off or it's easy to press the wrong button and have to go through it again, it's all a little muddled and I'm not sure why Segelei didn't just use their own board.
It's not as stable when the tanks are on it, especially the TFV4, probably do to been thinner than the SW and the shape of it.
Really struggling now but I wish the 510 base didn't have the cut out slots for bottom afc, who using those now and I would of liked it flat.
Would I recommend this, oh yes, I would take this over the SnowWolf any day, it doesn't look quite as pretty but it feels better in the hand and its not a fingerprint magnet, I can also put this on the dash of my car without it sliding about (unless the wife is driving).
It fires at the wattage setting every time (my SW doesn't) and no more automatic lock !! I can't tell you how many times I have picked up the SnowWolf and gone to vape, only to find the dam thing is locked and I have to go through the 5 clicks again, when watching a movie, that annoyed me a lot, if I want my device locked, I will lock it myself !, all in all, it does what it is meant to do and it is another fine quality box mod from Segelei..
I will post after a few more days of using it..
