    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Attention *ahem*: I was speaking to a Segelei employee on Skype and inquired about a custom made Sigelei #8. Told the employee I wanted the #8 to have all brass and stainless steel with no chrome plating. She understood and agreed to the order as long as I met the MOQ of 10. They're directly...

    I believe it is because not enough feedback on the products gives them the assumption that the product is fine the way it is. I actually just emailed Sigelei about this very topic, so I hope they take my suggestions/feedback into consideration. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    Was the Intuition Hybrid created by the Chinese? Didn't know the different versions specified that, thanks.

    Hm, ok. I'll probably end up buying a higher end mod that I don't have to tweak. I don't have the proper tools or savviness to tweak a mechanical mod to perform better. Ended up selling the #8 for this very reason by accidently sanding down the firing pin and spring cup too far to the point...

    How does it compare to other budget mechanical mods in the <$80 category (Sigelei, Kamry, Natural)? Do you think the v2 still needs a lot of revision before picking one up? I'm not trying to compare it higher end mods, just want a budget mechanical mod that performs well and looks adequate.

    What chemical to use for removing chrome plating?

    I believe this is what the Coke did to the brass by removing the lead and leaving a swirled milky gold finish. Didn't look all that great. Vinegar results were slightly better than the Coke, but not by much. It exposed a tiny part of brass in one area. I ended up sanding my mod which is what...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Is anyone in close contact with the Sigelei manufacturer? I mean anyone can contact them, but there may be people's feedback/suggestions they take into consideration more. It would be awesome to have the next generation of their popular Sigelei's come stock with unfinished brass as well as...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Can someone post a more detailed description disassembling the firing pin on the #8 (preferably pictures)? I tried applying pressure to the pin inside the tube, while I twisted the button on the outside, but that didn't work. While twisting the top, it doesn't feel like anything is unthreading...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    How do you pull the plastic inserts out of the Sigelei #8 caps? Are the plastic inserts molded or threaded inside the Sigelei bottom cap? Also, since the inside of the cap is threaded, would I get better results by yanking out that plastic insert, discarding of the spring and screw to fit the...

    What chemical to use for removing chrome plating?

    I tried leaving in coke for less than 10 hours and all I saw was a little bit of a swirled effect on the chrome. It didn't take off the chrome though. Now I'm soaking in vinegar. I'll post results. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

    What chemical to use for removing chrome plating?

    For my Sigelei #8, what chemical can I use to remove chrome plating from the brass components? I've read on google that Hydrochloric Acid (HCL), otherwise known as Muriatic Acid works. I'm unsure of using a very hazardous chemical on the mod though, as I read HCL is hard to flush off and I...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    I just ordered a Sigelei #8 from them today. Before I purchased, I contacted them by email and they responded in less than an hour. Got an email an hour or two after the order stating the item has shipped, so hopefully I'll be expecting the mod tomorrow :). Their location is only an hour or...
