Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

[Gummy Bare]

Congrats...your persistence finally paid off!
Sorry about the finger damage...that mod got it's pound of flesh off ya

I ran a brass wire threw the switch so the spring is making good contact, and placed an o-ring in there to reduce the throw a bit. Works like a charm now. I left the bottom magnetic in for now. Gonna find a brass bolt or screw to replace it soon. The magnet only has 0.1ohm of a voltage drop anyway, so not to bad.

Does anyone have an idea where I can purchase the 19b from in the USA?

I think that there's a pre-order happening here:

Sigelei #19b telescoping mod with nzonic clone head and bottom button activation. Sigelei #19b is constructed of solid brushed stainless steel.

Well, that's how I read the page anyway....

hey i can finally join the sig19 club... anyways i just got the sig19 with the fusion sg1 kit, the only modifications thats been done to it is added a o-ring for a shorter throw and sanded down the bottom magnet... i still have the problem on the bottom misfiring. what do u folks recommend i do and/or what other improvements needs to be done

Just got my #19.
Nice looking but the bottom button has a long way to travel and a bit of pressure needed by the little finger to press it.
Kinda had a miss-fire but maybe that's cos of the amount of travel for the button.
Read a bit of this Thread but all sounds like too much work for me, I'll try to use it as it came.

What are the advantages of doing all these modifications to it?

I'm interested in the o-ring for shorter throw on the switch, how is that done?

When you disassemble the switch place the o ring on the post of the brass cup that touches the bottom of battery and scoot it on up to the back of the cup and reassemble switch normally

When I use the 'locked' thing at the bottom, it keep unscrewing the button/.
Any fix for that?
On my k100 it is reverse threads when using the locking thing, a lot better....

I just picked up a 19b. Its spring loaded on top instead of having a magnet. How do I use this with a kick?

I got a 19B today. I actually thought it was an A when I ordered it. Just discovered basically cannot use a kick in it as standard, looking at it though, possibly if you shaved the delrin on the bottom cap around the magnet right down it might work. Maybe I'm being an idiot. Its a pity its a beautiful mod.

Anyone worked out a way to get a kick working with the 19B?

 

[jpharr]

What if you removed the spring at the top and just take out that little screw and put the kick in that spot...and fyi, the battery can face either direction

thanks for the suggestion, had no thought of that. Just gave it a go, surprisingly it does not work, no matter what the orientation of the kick or battery.
I will say though when i was fiddling earlier, i oriented the kick towards the bottom cap, and when i screwed it together it kept firing with the button locked. I think the pot for the wattage control is getting stuck at an angle against the delrin causing that. Something for people to be aware of if they are fiddling with the Kick and a 19B

My sig-k works fine.

So the new Sigelei #19 in all copper is about to launch. What do you think? I have two 19's so I'll skip this one but it looks nice! Sigelei #19 Made of Copper

 

[corpus]

It does look nice.. torched mine and got a darker color. Not bad though especially for mix and match!

 

[Darksyde]

Looks like brass.

 

[ricericerice]

looks awesome, hope it kills a lot of the voltage drop possibly?

That can't really be copper right? copper is expensive.

i bought mine yesterday at akavapers. June10 for 10% discount code. (thank you vapor joe!)

Sigelei Mechanical Mod #19b

 

[Fullknight]

I took the screw and spring out of mine when I first got it week before last. I took the magnet out of the Nzonic head and swapped. Works great no other modification. I use Sigelei kick clone.

Grabbed a pre-order for this guy.... Also picked up a stainless 19b @ akavapers (thanks juicefreak!) since they were in stock.... Good day indeed!

UPDATE: May not be a good idea... Rubber grips the button and sometimes loosens it off when using the button lock

I was using the magnet switch method with the plastic washer, but I wanted to get rid of some voltage drop by dropping the magnets.

So while i was looking for rubber o rings to shorten the switch throw, I saw the spare rubber grommets for the tanks of the AGA/Richman RBA gennys.

They work well to shorten the throw and give a cushion at the end of the button press.

Coupled with the hotspring (that came with the 19v2, that i streched and cut to fit.), it's probably the best bottom-button switch i've ever experienced.

I also did some voltage drop testing on the sigelei 19 (with the top magnet off), avenger, and titan. (Measured under load with a 0.8ohm coil)

Avenger - 0.86 voltage drop
#19 - 0.84 voltage drop
titan - 0.43 voltage drop
