Do all Sigelei 150s have button problems?

[winkzy]

I'm kind of at crossroads right now between the IPV3 and the sigelei 150. I would like to get the sigelei but I hear that the buttons are rattly and they could stick. IPV3 has firing delay problems. Any suggestions? Do the sigelei 100 +s have button problems as well?

Sigelei 150s can indeed stick if you press the button in and to another direction... like "in and up" it will stick. It's a flaw in the design of the button. It will also turn in place. That said if you're aware of the issue it's not a big deal at all.

AFAIK the 100+ boxes do not have the issue as they use completely different buttons. (or is that just the 100 watt?)

I haven't had any problems with my 150.
I just shook it, and sure the buttons rattle a little when you shake it, but I generally like my vape dripped... not shaken. /shrug

Same here the button is sturdy no rattle. And here is the button comparison the 100w+ button vs the 150w side by side the 100w+ button is lose and rattle vs the 150w its sturdy and have a better feel to. I know because I have both. Trust me OP you will be happy with the 150w.

I'd like to comment here about the button. I noticed my button didn't stick, but if pressed at an angle it made a annoying crunch sound even though it still fired. It seemed as if the button housing on the outside was sticking slightly off the body itself, maybe lending hand to the issue. I read up on asmodus and their warranty program, but I did not hear good things about the warranty program, sigelei or ipv. I took it upon myself to void the warranty by opening the box mod and looking inside. The button press looked like it could be tightened up, the board would move slightly back when I pressed the button. I tried to loosen the lock ring to reseat the fire button, but it was held on very tight.

I didn't want to possibly break anything inside by taking pliers to the lock ring, so all I did was place a piece of doubled over electrical tape behind the board where the button was placed and now it solid. No more crunchy movement and nice clicks every time. I was waiting for a thread like this, this drove me crazy when I recieved my sigelei and I was afraid to open it up to check it out. I figured the three month warranty isn't really that long, I feel like you do not get many warranties with mods anyway so I didn't really have much to loose. Works fine now. For $100 I feel like it was worth it. This was my first big device purchase, I used a MVP2 before this.

I also want to point out that the wire gauge inside was nice and thick and the soldering was decent and not skimped out on. I would recommend one. I was torn between the Sigelei 150 and the cloupor T8. Both are great. Maybe I just got a fluke, I've seen others in person with flush button housings to the body and worked fine out of the box.

I bought mine from 101vapes, I tried recreating this issue with mine, push upwards/downwards at the tip of firing button, and couldn't duplicate it.

I remember reading a comment section on youtube review for Sig 150, that person fix their issue by holding the mod with having the button facing the floor and then spin the button to tighten it.

I just got mine in today and also tried to replicate the button issue. Thus far I have not been able to do it (fortunately).

No button problems with mine. Had it a few weeks, now (came from JJVapes)

I think some of the earlier units had this problem.

I've had mine for almost a month and it's perfect. Also had the 100W Plus for a month before that and it was perfect as well. Both purchased from Elev8 Vape.
