help identify mod

[regal55]

I bought this and never used it. Its a CRC124a/13500 (small battery) mod. Looks like v/v v/w 7w- 15W. I thought it was a vamo but for the life of me can't find it when I search vamo pictures. I intend to sellll it in the classifieds when I figure out what it is since I don't use it (have too many provari'd.)

It looks like a Zmax.

not a zmax, not sure what it is. Odd that it takes rcr123

Yes. I'm going to stick with it being a Zmax until its true identity is discovered.

It looks just like a sigelei Zmax, but if so, it's the weirdest one I ever heard of, because Sigelei Zmax's take regular 18xxx batteries; also, it doesn't have the Sigelei oval logo under the fire button.

I've found pictures of some that don't have the Sigelei logo, I think they are older models. While I could be wrong, I have the feeling the battery info in the OP is incorrect. A 13xxx battery would have a 13mm diameter - that's smaller than a AA.

ETA: Here's another picture tagged Sigelei Zmax

Doesnt look quite like my zmax but I could be wrong on that. Maybe an older model? My zmax doesnt take rcr123, just 18650.

I see, a sigelei zmax Must be different than my smok zmax?

Looks just like this

Yes; Sigelei makes one, and Smoktech makes the other. They both use the Zmax board or chip or whatever it is.

Ms Ocelot, I did recall that sometime in that enormous Sigelei Zmax thread, someone stated that some Sigelei Zmax's don't carry that logo, so I agree, that's not proof that it's NOT a Sigelei; mainly I was going on the battery size, and you're right again, the OP may have been mistaken, because that really is a tiny battery if it's 13xxx anything. I think the smallest I've seen for vaping is 14xxx.

I know there's a lot of that cloning stuff going on, but considering how inexpensive Sigelei Zmax's are, I can't really see a lot of reason for someone to just outright steal their body-design. Though it really is a terrific design; it's why I got a flat-top rather than a round-top, which look more like the Smok Zmax's.

Def looks like a flat top sigelei zmax mini to me. I think the battery size is a typo

Yep, it looks like a Sigelei Zmax V3 or V5 with flat top. Sigelei V3 without the laser-etched logo are pretty common. The rigs use 18xxx series IMR or hybrid batteries.

The photos shown in post nos. 2, 6 and 9 show first generation Sigelei Zmax V3s which lack the flange visible underneath the removable top cap. These haven't been in production for over a year.

As I posted before, I think the OP mistyped the battery size. I venture to say there is no device of that design that takes a RCR123A/13xxx battery.

 

[edyle]

looks like a sigelei zmax mini. 18350 mode. that would explain the 13500 type.

 

[yzer]

The OP's photo could show a Sigelei Zmax Mini or a Sigelei Zmax V3 or V5. Mini is 18350 only and some have the same brushed SS trim as V3 and V5. V3 and V5 fit 18350 as well with the telescopic tube closed down all the way. All three measure 100mm in length with 18350. The OP's photo shows the short 10mm battery cap installed which is the only cap supplied with the Mini. V3s and V5s come with both 10mm and 15mm battery caps.

Basically, the only way to tell the difference between Sigelei Mini and Sigelei V3 and V5 is check for the telescopic tube on the V3 and V5. The machining is so close on the telescopic tube most photos can't show the difference between the machined horizontal line on Mini and the tube seam on the telescopics.

The quickest way to tell the difference between Sigelei V3 and V5 is to look at the menu selections. V3 will have eight menu items and V5 will have nine.

Very true; this is my v3 -- the top cap is off -- you can't tell from this if it's a closed-up v3/v5 or a mini --

I did a search for that battery type and ecig and got no hits. Therefore I'm thinking it a mistake as well.

 

[Ed_C]

Rings are a bit different on the Mini.

 

[msgnyc]

You can tell if its a mini because the V3/5s have the ring cuts that are there to blend in abit where it telescopes so that separation does look out of place. The mini doesn't have these cuts. The pic in the op doesn't have them either so it's a mini.

Now between a V3 and V5 the only way to tell the difference is to go into the menu and check if it has a USB charging setting. You can't tell them apart by appearances anymore since the newer v3s topcaps are removable now to. They weren't removable on the original v3s.

Very true; this is my v3 -- the top cap is off -- you can't tell from this if it's a closed-up v3/v5 or a mini --

I think your bottom section is upside down. Not that it really matters.
