Sigelei 213 owners thread

[Lashed 467]

If you want to set it back to factory default remove the batteries hold the down adjustment button (the up down button to adjust wattage or temp changes) slip the batteries back in while holding the down button and close the battery door. This will put it back to factory settings. I'm pretty sure factory settings for wattage mode is 40 Watts with 80 Watts preheat for 0.10 seconds.
Hope this helps

Thank you factory default did the trick. Thanks

Glad it helped.

Sigelei is not the only one. There are reports for:
Wismec RX2/3 issues with some units not working in dual batt config. And of course the inconsistent 510.
P4U IPV 400 issues with lack of reverse polarity circuit.
P4U IPV 6X issues with lack of reverse polarity circuit, leading to a recall. In addition, reports of TC/TCR issues, which is weird given that it's supposed to be a Yihi chip.
smok Alien misfire issues, which is a small issue but it's very early days for this one.

So it's difficult to find the "perfect" mod, if your expectations are high. And by expectations I mean expecting the device to deliver for what it advertises on the box.

Despite all these reports, I have an IPV 6X and a Smok Alien on pre-order. I can't help myself. My Shiniytis is strong.

Yeah that entire list other than the Smok was what I was looking at along with the 213.. Makes me feel better I went with the Hcigar instead.. And just my luck I ended up with a real DNA75 cheaper than what I paid for my Sigelei Spark!

I love my VT75. The battery cap is a PITA, bit I can't find anything else wrong with it.

Ive just gotten used to spinning mine in the opposite direction like I was unscrewing it until I hear it 'click' and fall into the threads properly, then its good to go. Thats about my only complaint as well haha.

I wanted to get a VT75 Nano as GearBest was selling them for $63, in fact they still are, but I decided I need more dual 18650 mods in my life.

Hi All.
Let's me introduce you a custom firmware project for the Sigelei / Fuchai 213.
Work has already begun and I am planning to create a powerful firmware similar to DNA or YiHi boards with PC software and customization.
Please keep an eye on this thread for the updates.

Right when mine takes a hot dump.
Stopped working yesterday. I don't even think I've had it 6 months.
150tc still trucks along though.

I have an i5 4690k that does 5 giggles pretty easy and a 980 that is voltage locked and runs 1490mhz on my bios but I know nothing about making the flashing tools myself.
Are you doing this from the ground up?

Here is startup process of Original Sigelei Fuchai 213:

I've noticed some strange things:
1) Pre-check (R-check) voltage is always 3.3v (108 WATT unwanted "preheat" on 0.1 Ohm)
2) There is strange gap between the R-check and main power-up (Waste of time).
Other characteristics are quite good and sometimes even better than on the DNA200.

 

[whiteowl84]

I never could get it to work well with 316l.
I've always wanted custom roms for some mods.

Hi

Can anyone help me trying to sort out a dead Sigelei213 (not the Fuchai). Was minding its own business on my desk. put batteries in and nothing happens as in even the display doesnot come on. Tried to plug in power via the USB still nothing. I did look at resetting it but there again nothing.

Can any one help if there is a simple method to reset / restart it (something i am missing) or should i simply ask for a replacement. BTW its just 4 months old.


Thanks in advance

Can't help. Mine did the same thing. Still dead.
I hit it once, went to hit it again and nothing. The other gives short warnings all the time.

I took the dead one apart and the board looks fine. No burns, exploded caps, loose wires etc..

Sorry to hear about your troubles.

Believe it or not, but on its own accord the MOD started to work just as i was shipping it back as i received the return authorization. I sure its nothing i did that made it work cos i actually did nothing.

I guess i will try and use it for the next few days and if it doesn't die on me again.. it seems to have fixed itself. I will always wonder though... what might have caused it to fail the first time around.

Hmm..

Don't worry it will quit again. Mine did the same thing. I didn't check it before I sent mine back sigelei called me and said it was working fine. They sent it back to me and it worked great for about two days then it started showing one battery at 4.82 volts. Then battery imbalance and nothing but x's across the screen. I'm not sending it back again. I will just take it as a lesson learned..... I don't trust sigelei anymore at all

Hi all. I've had my Segeli 213 for 3 or 4 months now, it works great. I use it with the Smok TFV8 Tank at 135Watts, but, I just got 2 pairs of new 18650 batteries and when they reach anywhere from 75%-60% battery life, the wattage not my sigeli drops down to 108Watts on its own. why is this happening?
