Have one, use it more often than my IPV3, and it acts as a proper lady every time. Have heard they are not the most accurate on output at higher settings, but I've had no complaint. Just buy a couple pair of batteries to match what settings you will be using it at, and marry them in those pair, used together, charged together, till death do they part. Max wattage you will be using / divided by 6.4v (lowest battery charge state is 3.2, being a series this value is doubled) = equals you max amp drain. Up to 120ish watts any good 20amp like the LG HG2, LG HE2/HE4, Sony VTC5, Samsung 25R, 120watts and higher the Sony VTC4 and LG HB6.
Hi, I have one of the 150 TC ones for almost exactly a week now. Not sure if this is the one you are looking at, it is pretty nice. The design is probably a love/hate thing, I quite like it. The finish is really nice feel to it, it feels like some strange silky rubber on the coating. On the negatives for me personally the only thing I find annoying is it has no lock mode, you have to turn it off if you want to safely put it in your pocket. Otherwise I've generally been pretty happy with it, I think it is pretty good and pretty nice for its price point if it is the kind of thing you are looking for.
I'm looking to pick one up but pretty hesitant as there is a 200w coming out soon
I'm not fond of mine. My biggest complaint is the power adjusts too quickly. It goes slow at first, then toggles to a super fast adjustment. It's difficult to zero into your desired wattage. Your best bet is to visit a local B&M where you can play with one to see if it suits you.
I've read that a lot recently
Read also the power of for example 100w in the sigelie and in the X cube 2 is totally less the X cube has more oomph!
I have the X Cube II. I like it more than the Sigelei 150W. It does have its own problems...
- firing bar has pinch points on both sides and the bottom
- unable to do firmware upgrade with Smok's PC updater. Sorted this with third party program, now V1.093 increases max power to 180W
- V2.5 app for Android crashed on launch.
- V2.6 Android app will not communicate with X Cube II running on my Android 4.4.2 tablet. You MUST device MUST be Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) capable!
- iPhone app on an iPhone 5s does work
- apps (iPhone or Android)need work
I think the Smok X Cube II has a lot of potential, but the apps and firmware need to be updated to realize that potential. A kit to replace the firing bar is warranted.

I did use X cube 2 as an example
However I'm glad you put some thoughts up as I'm about to purchase one, I also have an iPhone so the app should run without issue
Just not sure, black or silver?
I love my Sigelei 150's, both the conventional and the TC. While they do not have some of the options other some high power mods have, the build quality and performance is excellent. Quality control is very consistent with Sigelei, unlike some other mods.
I bought a Sigelei 75W (black and stainless) followed by a Sigelei 150W (black). I chain vape all day and have purchased around 2,500ml of liquid within two months.
I have not had any issues with either of my Sigeleis, and I plan to keep the 75W Sigelei in case there are any issues (such as dropping and damaging the 150W), so that I am not without a device for a minute. I bought the 150W Sigelei because of the quality of the 75W Sigelei. No issues whatsoever.
As far as waiting around for the next version or buying a higher rated box mod, the 150W Sigelei should NOT be passed up. Here is what I've found: Not all e-liquids can be run at over 35W to 55W... i.e. you cannot push a juice to high watts/joules, you have to find out where it tastes the best for you when you vape it. Some of my e-liquids vape well at 35W and others at 65W, all on the very same 0.3ohm coil, in an Aspire Atlantis II tank on the Sigelei 150W box mod.
What you get when you get the 150W Sigelei is the extra battery life, which may be 2 or 3 times that a single 18650 battery provides. If you are out running errands you are less likely to run out of battery power. You also have the "opportunity" to vape at a higher W/Joules, but that is going to depend upon YOU finding an e-liquid that tastes great at the higher W/Joule rating.
A 200W box mod would be no more useful to me than the 150W box mod. I've never vaped at over 85W yet. Maybe some new coils would allow me to push it higher...but I'm sitting on around 30 - 0.3ohm, Aspire coils that I got for $17.50 a BOX! They should last me a looooooong time b/c I don't push it for W/Joules, I'm in to this for flavor.

I'm similar I never vape over 85w either every though my tfv4 coils would allow it, I prefer to have the power than go looking for it in the future
The reason for the sig200 is not only for its power but for the looks, it has a large lcd display what looks the business
Mine tend to get knocked about a bit. Minor scratches show up on coated or anodized finishes far too easily. For me, it's the brushed stainless steel finish. A replaceable sleeve like the Sigelei has, is also a good option. My black Kamry 30 V2 looked like it had been through the wars after a few months.
Pretty much all regulated MODs on the market are microprocessor controlled. Being able to upgrade the firmware like the Smok X Cube II is a real plus for me. My experience with the Smok has driven home the need to keep backups of previous software, firmware, and app versions so I can revert back if the vendor makes a mistake. Smoktech took two weeks to change the Smok BEC 2.5 Android app that crashed on launch. Their rating on Google Play plummeted, accumulating 30-50 one star or 'hated it' reviews per day.
I've had one since early this year and used it a lot.
Pros:
-More power than I'll ever need for regular vaping, but nice to have something to experiment with if I want to.
-Handles down to 0.1 ohms. I've appreciated that a couple of times when I wanted to run a titanium or nickel build on it.
-It has a reputation for being dependable. It has never let me down.
-It's light for its size.
-Door and magnets work well.
-The 510 connection and sprung positive pin work very well.
- It has reverse battery protection.
Cons:
-It's quite big.
-IMO the wattage adjustment is a bit too quick when it flips into fast mode.
-Watts with low resistance setups is less than what you set. I believe at 0.2 ohms and set to 100 watts you get around 86 watts.
-The regulator doesn't boost voltage so your max voltage output is going to be your battery volts. That means you need to be under about 0.3 ohms to get to 150 watts and that goes down as battery voltage drops.
-You need to be a little careful when you put batts in it. The positive ends need to go in first, but if that end gets too far ahead of the neg end the batt will not seat right. It's not at all hard to do, but it needs to be done correctly.
I'm typically between 35-45 watts. I really appreciate the dual batteries giving me twice the run time on a charge compared to a single battery in that range. It also means I'm drawing half the amps from my bats which is good for them. If I wanted to run higher resistance setups at high power I would look for a mod that boosts voltage. For me it works great and I am very happy with it.

I've been using the purple version for about a month and I love it...it has a few quirks. The main one I've noticed is after you put freshly charged batteries in & power it up, it shows the last used percentage, but if you hit the fire button once it shows an accurate read. It's really not a big deal for me. I'm in love with the grip of it. The shape fits my hand perfectly & it's just really comfortable & pretty in purple lol. (But take off your sleeve when you drip, that sh*t seeps down under it.)
