Anyone have experience with the Sigelei Compak A1?

[Irked Particle]

Hey all! I just ordered my 1st ever pod system: the sigelei Compak A1. I found it for a steal at $11 online, & found 3-packs of replacement pods for under $6.
So my question is, how do these perform overall, mainly in the vape quality, pod longevity, & battery life departments?
I've found reviews online, & most seem to be favorable, but none I found seem to address how these hold up in the long-term.
I would appreciate any info. Also, if anyone has experience with both the A1 & F1 versions of the Compak, I'd like to know your opinion on how they stack up against one another.
Thank you in advance!

Sorry, I never owned a pod system before. I am quite interested in them though. So far in my research it sounds as though the Pod cartridges only last 1 day if heavily used.

As far as longevity. I think the battery will diminish before the pod circuitry dies. Unless you get a dud or drop it a lot.

I like Sigelei and not one of their products has broken on me. That's better than Joyetech and Eleaf. Certainly better than Smok.
I do not have the Compak A1 but I tried the Sigelei Fuchai Wildfox at the UK Vapefest 2018 (National Vape Convention)... it was a terrific product. I don't know if I'm getting one as yet... kind of pricey/different compared to many of the very basic pod systems I am getting into using, mostly for stealth vaping with higher nicotine.
The longevity of the pods is what counts. I am hoping for a week minimum with refilling once a day. Clearly, with a more powerful system or one that you use exclusively, this needs some serious research. I only use my pod(s) up to about half the time, if that.
@VapePro is wise in his assessment.

Hey, thanks for the info, that helps a lot! I'm getting it in the mail tomorrow, so I'll report on what I think about it soon after.

I hope it's great! My 'test' with a pod is to get it as close to the price of a coil and last at least as long. It's all about my mileage really. Pods seem more expensive than coils to me; 2x for some of them, so they need to last! I wouldn't try a sub-ohm pod system...too expensive.

Well, I got my Compak today (a day late, but that's okay), & although it's a bit soon to be making any judgements, my first impression is quite positive.
It's sleek & compact (as the name suggests), & I really like that it has a 1100mAh battery. Seems to be a juice miser so far, a good thing.
Flavor is about as good as I expected; not the greatest ever, but definitely not bad, either. It's fine for what it is, & I have no complaints on it so far.
Haven't used it enough to test the life of the pods or the battery life yet, but I will soon.
For $11 (@ EightVape) I think it's a steal, & it's a bonus that a 3-pack of replacement pods I found are <$6 each (Vaping.com). Definitely pleased so far.
I'll update after I get a full day's use on it & see what the battery life is like, & how the life of the pods holds up.
