Segelei 150w TC....First Impressions, SnowWolf Comparison

[mjag]

I have had my Sig 150 TC for almost 2 weeks now and love it. Had a chance to see a sample at a local B&M and in person the look and feel won me over compared to the ipv 3 LI and 4s. The feel of it is great, feels a little like a rubberized coating, very comfortable. Had myself convinced to get the ipv 3 Li until I had a chance to see and play around with the sig 150 TC in person, it won me over quickly. The IPV 3 Li is still a great mod, but the feel in the hand and the battery door that takes some effort lost out to the sig when I had a chance to play around with both.

Now that you mentioned it the battery door will move when I pull my thumb back, better magnets would have been nice. Until you mentioned it though in normal use the battery door has never been something I noticed unless I purposely try to move it.

Battery life has been great, getting a full day which was my goal.

It is pretty easy to keep clean and have had my Marquis rda leak on it a few times but a paper towel cleans it up rather quick.

Really solid mod and the pics don't do it justice, you have to see and feel this mod in person to really appreciate it.

Excellent review by the way Rixsta

lol, you must have good taste then or what was once an escape from smoking is now a crazy obsessive hobby haha. I didn't know the display wouldn't switch, never even entered my head, that's a shame though, even the Isticks have this feature right..
I have heard a lot of people vape lower than 0.1ohms without problems, I will look into this, what is the minimum resistance for the IPV3 Li as they share the same chip?

Looking at the specs it is odd, usually theres a different resistance for TC mode and VW mode.
Heres the specs for the Sigelei 150W TC

After using this for a few days battery life seems Ok, nothing to shout about but that has to do with the low resistance coil and the high wattage I use...on par with the SnowWolf anyway.

A full days worth of use out of a mod is a good thing in my book.

Phew.......My sig 150 TC just took it's first big fall. 3 feet off my kitchen counter, I am still a little shaky......lol

The tip flew off my Arctic, the battery door came off and the 2 batteries fell out. Really the first thing I though is the glass on the arctic probably broke, it made a loud noise when it hit the floor so I figured something broke. Aside from some juice that came out of the arctic's air holes you would not know it took a fall. I cleaned up the juice from the mod with a paper towel and have looked it over 4 times already and not a scratch, wow do I feel lucky. I didn't have the rubber cover on, only use that when I take it on the road.

I just looked at it again under better lights and nothing but a little rattled nerves. It passed the drop test but I am not purposefully going to try it again, the crash it made nearly had me piss myself, I did fall to the floor and yell "My Precious"

They Li and Sig TC have diffrent chips. The Sig seems much, much less efficent in terms of battery life then all the other dual 18650 regulated boxes I own or have owned. I return mine to see if I got a bum unit. If it consumes the same ammount of power I really gotta list that as a con. Im sure I just got a bum unit. Excited to get it back.

FWIW, I use the Sig 150TC at the same settings that I use the Sig 75TC and the battery life is about double, because of the second battery. At a power setting of 40 joules, the battery cuts off right around 3.3 volts, which is the same cut off on my Sig 75TC. By comparison the Snow Wolf 200 cuts off around 3.2 volts as well as the SX Mini. The Sig 75TC and the Snow Wolf has an advantage in that with TC, I like to vary my vape by modifying the temperature, so I set the wattage/power and then leave the adjustment buttons in temp mode. With the SX Mini and the Sig 150TC, you have to access the menu system in order to modify the temp, which requires several additional steps. The rDNA40 is the same way in that you need to lock the mod, then hold the up and down buttons in order to set the temperature.

Anyone get the red version yet, is it really as RED as it looks?

 

[mjag]

So far I am getting a full day running between 22 and 35 watts depending on the tank or rda. I am using LG HE4 batteries and last night I wasn't paying attention and ran them down to 2% which I always try and avoid. Threw them on the XTAR VC4 and was able to verify the mah at over 2500 for each battery after the charging was done. At 61% right now with an Arctic .5 ohm coil running at 30 watts, it is 7PM right now so it will last me until 12 am tonight before going to sleep.

It could just be the batteries? I also have MXJO, Samsung 25R, Thor and a Sony VTC4 but the LG HE4's have measured the highest mah of them all according to the XTAR.

On a side not the XTAR VC4 is great, I was able to save a AW 18490 battery that would not take a charge. I had read that the VC4 can revive a bad battery and was very pleased when it did just that.

@Rixsta how does your Sig handle SS coils? Had an experience with my SW and Crown tank.. Snow Wolf 200w With Temp Control | Page 15 | E-Cigarette Forum

After using this mod some more, I really enjoy using this it, it is performing very nice indeed, nothing to complain about here..

 

[MikeyConti]

I wish I would have waited for this to come out before buying the SW, but I still like the SW and have a feeling if I sell it I might regret it lol But the SW still works great and if I want to use my Crown or any other future tank with SS coils I will just throw it on my Regular Sig 150W.. and Leave my SW for Temp, and Kanthal setups that work just fine on it. I need to focus on my getting my DIY juice for now and a little Mod for out and about.. But for now, having the SW & Sig 150W, that should be enough for high wattage use!(Because of budget and all)

SnowWolf is fine as long as you don't hold the Segelei, the Segelei is so comfortable I just can't go back to the SW now..
