I have had my sigelei 20w going on the 2nd day now. On more than a couple of occasions I will press the fire button to have a vape and the device will completely shut off and will not come back on until I take the battery out and turn it back on. It has happened while using a sony vtc4 and an efest battery, both are 18650. For the most part it has worked great but I am worried this could lead to more problems down the road.

Does it do this with Different Cartos, Clearos, Tanks, RBA's, etc ?

Does it do this with Different Batteries ?

Does it do this at All Settings of Voltage ?

My guess would be that you are experiencing a short likely in your atomizer coil. I would check it carefully or rebuild a new one. Make sure everything is as it should be with the coil and atomizer. Once you fix it that should do the trick. It is a safety feature. I've experienced this myself with building coils.it's shutting down to keep you safe. Hope this helps

It is doing with two different coils. One at 1.1 the other at 1.4 ohms. It has happened with both the batteries mentioned above both batteries had a charge around 4volts. It usually happens when I get around the 18w range which is where I found my kayfun performs amazingly with the 1.4 coil.

Hard to Say. But I would lean to the Battery not being able to give you APV what it needs Amp-wise.

Do you know anyone Else who uses 18650 Batteries that you could test in your APV?

The same batteries are working perfectly in my svd but no I don't know anyone else who uses them. I am the only one of all my friends who vape the rest still smoke regular cigs. And the closest b&m is about an 1-1.5 hour drive.

Gotcha...

The reason I suggested it is I like to Eliminate or Rule out Everything before I say that it is my APV.

Because most MOD's are Very Expensive to Replace.

And I would kinda Feel Bad if I told them it was their MOD and they went out and bought a New One. Only to find that the New MOD did the Exact Same thing. And it was their Batteries or their RBA that was the Problem.
