Sigelei 150W and El Cabron = not good

[jb783]

Maybe something is wrong with my sigelei 150w, so I'm hoping to hear from anyone else that has one.

It seems the center pin on mine is quite low. Which means, only RDAs with longer than normal center pins can make contact. This seems really backwards, considering the pin is spring loaded, it should be raised more, right?

My El Cabron can't quite make solid contact, so the OHMs jump all over the place. I put the El Cabron on my IPV Mini 2 and it makes perfect contact, a solid 0.2 OHMs. Back to the sigelei 150w, jumps all over the place.

I take the Doge V2 and put onto the sigelei 150w, absolutely perfect, solid 0.4 OHMs, no fluttering.

So, it appears all the devices work, just the pins aren't making contact due to the absolutely stupid center pin being so low on the Sigelei 150w.

Any ideas y'all? Did I get a crappy Sigelei 150W?

Figured it out, the pin on el carbon is longer than normal, and the pin on the Sigelei is insanely small. I don't know if at this point I would recommend the Sigelei 150w anymore. I don't understand why they made the pin so thin on it.

That's weird, I own both El Carbron and Sig 150...I'm not having any jump issues with mine. My build for the El Cabron is around .3 and never had any issues. I used my Sig 150 with Doge v2, Goblin, Lemo, Mephisto v2 (clone), with out any jump issues.

Open your Sig 150 and remove the batteries...press the copper pin (positive +) where 510 pin is above the battery. It should have bouncy springy feel...maybe the spring in that pin is broken.

I've tried two other RDAs and not seen a problem on the 150w. Only the El Cabron is giving me an issue. I put the El Cabron on a DNA 40 mod = perfect .2 ohm reading, consistently. Put it on the IPV Mini 2, perfect .2 ohm consistent reading.

The guy that makes the El Cabron said others are seeing the same issue and they just back off the RDA a bit. I find that pretty annoying though as the vape is never totally consistent.

That sucks man, I guess I got lucky then. BTW...I love my El Cabron..very underrated for flavor and vape production....I don't know if you know, they already put up links for the pre-order for TwistedMesses RDA.

spring is fine. I'm going to send it in for warranty repair I guess.

got a new 150 and am happy to say it's working fine now.
