    Sigelei 75w Temp Control

    Hey guys earlier I mentioned in this thread that my sig eats up batteries a lot faster than the SXM and also needs to be set to a significantly higher wattage and/or temp to achieve a similar vape to the SXM. Both of these issues started becoming progressively worse over time, and it started...

    Wonky taste bud?

    I've been vaping for years, never had anything like this happen before. Not vapers tongue as everything tastes normal and flavors are strong, but on the right side of my tongue it seems like a taste bud has gone rogue and decided that it will just constantly taste sour flavors. It doesn't...

    The goblin mini looking pretty flavorful

    I'm using a .05 ohm 28G nickle build in one for TC, and a .4 ohm 26g kanthal build in the other and both are working great, your build idea sounds like it should work well too! I'd take some pics of the kanthal build but I've ran about 45mls of Looper through it without a re-wick and it's...

    The goblin mini looking pretty flavorful

    Airflow on the Goblin minis is definitely better than the Lemo II, although with these small chambers if you use a large diameter coil and have a lot of wick in there you can potentially loose some airflow. Compared to the Lemo II the Goblin mini is a much more full and saturated vape as well, I...

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    Holy.... almost 80,000J and still a full battery? There's got to be some shenanigans here, or else those batts are underrated by about 6,000mAh ;) Are you using the battery extension tube? There's got to be some magic going on, I don't have any HG2s but VTC5s, 25Rs, and HE2s are giving me around...

    Juice Shorting boards

    Thanks for the replies, I had guessed that maybe it was just one of those vaping myth things that never goes away, but figured I'd check to make sure there wasn't something I was ignoring. Also, if juice getting in the device isn't an issue as far as damage to the electronics is concerned I...

    Joyetech Ego ONE

    Hey fellow eGo one vapers long time no see! I've been testing out the nickle heads and CLR heads lately, not too happy with them, they wick like crap because they only have two juice holes. Transplanted one of the stock nickle coils into an original 4-hole Kanthal OC head, wicked better but...

    Sigelei 75w Temp Control

    Like Kbriggs said they are actually really thick, but the magnets and the raised locating pins are set kind of deep into the door. I was using a vice with a hollow punch to better seat the locating pin so it was a pretty good amount of pressure and I can't imagine the doors would ever be damaged...

    Juice Shorting boards

    So I've seen the worry expressed more than a few times that certain mods are prone to getting juice leaking inside the mod, and this is supposed to short the board out. I've always been really confused about this for the following reasons: I've revived "shorted" auto 510 batts back in the day...

    Sigelei 75w Temp Control

    I think it's just going to come down to how lucky you are, when I bought mine the shop's display model was perfect, doors were extremely solid and didn't move at all regardless of where you applied pressure. On mine one door was just as perfect, but with the other if you pressed the bottom front...

    Why wattage, what we care about is current!

    Current tells you almost nothing about the type of performance you will get from a coil, it's just not a useful figure. You can make two builds that perform similar at different amperage, and you can have builds that perform wildly different at the same amperage. Consider the following builds...

    First Mention Of Temp Control in 2009

    Yeah it seems from that screen cap that the poster was just talking about watching out for what color the coil is glows, which is really different than being able to control the temp of the coil while vaping it.

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    Man those Yihi cases are nice, they reveal just enough so that you know there is something really nice underneath, but doesn't reveal enough to be dangerous ;) Good idea on the clothespin too!

    Sigelei 75w Temp Control

    Yeah you'll be draining batteries faster running at those higher wattages, it really doesn't seem like horrible battery life to me by any means just worse than the only other TC mod I have to compare it to. I'm a pretty heavy vaper so I'm getting a good amount of vape time out of it, I don't...

    Closed/Sold (US) - Selling - SXmini M Class

    Bump for an amazing mod at an amazing price! I'm also shocked that this is still here!

    SX mini M class worth the price tag?

    I've had mine a few weeks now and I still think it's the best device I've ever had or used, and there have been quite a few over the years. It took awhile before I could justify the price to myself but once I decided to get into TC and could actually use all the features of the M class it was...

    Sigelei 75w Temp Control

    After a few days of heavy use my Sig 75 is still working great, the only complaint I've found (other than the rattle on one door) is that this thing seems to go through batteries faster than the SX Mini, I'm using about 3 a day with the Sig vs about 2 with the SX (when I was using the SX...

    K Loud (hotcig) Airflow

    What I would try is to get a needle file small enough to fit in the hole, and slowly widen the hole upward, avoiding the area close to the hollow tank part, as clay pointed out there isn't much room between the hollow part and the airflow hole so if you drill a larger hole with the same center...

    Dual Coils for Temp Control?

    I had heard a lot about dual coils not working well with TC, but I've not found that to be the case at all. I've settled on the same build for all my dual coil tanks (orchids, goblins, goblin minis, Zephyrus) which is 9 wraps of 28g and I've been getting amazing performance from all of them...

    Sigelei 75w Temp Control

    Picked up a Sig 75w from a local shop today, so far I'm liking it quite a bit. Performance seems great, I've been swapping attys between the Sig and my SX Mini and running at the same temp seeing how they compare and it seems the chip is doing a great job of regulating the temperature, hard to...
