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?
Probably batteries with a low amp rating. What batteries do you have? In any case, you shouldn't be at 135w unless you have batteries rated above 20 amps, and that means low mAh.

Yes, low cdr batteries. You should definitely not use those anywhere near 135w, and preferably not at all. You're lucky to not have had a serious mishap.

I'll admit, I haven't read the entire thread, but I have read a lot of it. I wish I had checked out this thread before I bought the Fuchai 213. I bought it for TC, and I'm so disappointed.

The info I haven't been able locate is this;
Does the Fuchai use the same TCR as the original, or the standard TCR?

TCR does not work mate. The main issue is that you can not lock the resistance, and thus everytime you fire it the mod re-reads and changes the resistance, which is not really conducive for a good TC vape.

That's the conclusion I've come to, guess I just wanted someone to slap me upside the head with that fact.... Thanks.

It works tc with sub ohm tanks..not builds..I got 213 AND fuchai . just shoot me..thinking about the sx mini Q. $200 is steep..butttttt

I have an SX Mini M class... worth every penny. I want a red Q so bad, I can taste it.

@greenmachine17 There are plenty of good gear out there. What's your vape style and what kind atomisers do you have in your favourite list?

As mentioned those batteries aren't meant for vaping. I made the mistake of purchasing one before I did some research on battery safety. Try the LG HG2s (brown), Samsung 30Q (pink).

The Q is a great mod.

I prefer the onscreen menu and functionality of the yihi chip over the DNA200. Compared to the Sig213, the Q is significantly bigger and heavier if that matters to you. If you're only vaping in power mode then I don't see a reason for the Q unless you just want an excuse to buy another mod :)

they are great for vaping, use them daily.....on a regulated device below 15 watts ;)

I can see how it will work sub 20W per cell as the amperage is (according to google) 6.7A continuous.

But IMHO there are better alternatives out there even for sub 20W vaping, ie: LG HG2 20A 3000mah. You're only sacrificing 13.3% mah (400mah) for a 300% increase in continuous amperage (13.3A).
