Sigelei 213 owners thread

[Daisychainvaper]

not a big complaint but funny that the battery meter works like the gas meter (?) in my car...

4.2V - 4V = 100%... down to 3.6 it is 50%, 3.5 is 30% and then goes down faaast to 0 But battery life is greeeat. Nearly on par with the rx200 so it seems to be pretty efficient.

Has there been any problems with this mod using power mode?

 

[Priggster]

Yeah, same here.. Like kenpocory said, their formula works with the numbers from Wire wizard

But why on earth didn't they mention it from the beginning or said something in the manual?
They could have turned the whole thing into something interesting instead of getting this kind of sh*tstorm against them..

Not for me. Actually, now that I've figured everything out it all works as intended.

Yeah, I think if they would've made all of this clear from the beginning and put it in the manual we would've understood what was going on and negated a lot of this.

To think I star

No.

So just to confirm the real problems are in the TCR mode not the TC presets? I never use TCR anyway.

I like the look of the black Fuchai 213 but not sure I will buy another Sigelei product especially without updates.

Have to be a rx200 or dna 200 device as a stay at home mod next.
Can anyone post size comparison pics of the RX and the 213?

if you go to page one. You'll see a pic of the sig213 vs various mods

Yes, unfortunately mine misfires now and then, and sometimes the screen glitches when I access the preheat power adjustment.

Yep that's pretty much how I feel lol.

Up until earlier today I felt the same way.

Yeah I've kinda got the hang of it all now. All glitches aside it's a lovely mod and the thing that really sets it aside from all other mods is its size and weight. Had a quick vape on my cuboid with a griffin 25 earlier and it felt like vaping on the Eiffel tower lol.

That said, I still would like to see a couple of things addressed in a firmware upgrade.

Any bugs or things you aren't fully happy with, you'll be experiencing through the end of time. This unit is not firmware upgrade-able.

Then they should stop advertising it as such. I guess I'll find out over time.

Take your vtc/rx200 whatever upgradeable mod you have and plug it into a pc and it recognizes it.. when you plug the 213 in nothing just charge. Basically what carnage said.

Not all upgradeable mods work this way unfortunately.

 

[Aaron Peik]

Oh my mistake then, typically all the ones I've ever had ipv 3/vtc mini/rx200 the computer would play through sound and recognize something was plugged in and possibly data capable..not just charging

 

[kenpocory]

All devices need some sort of driver in order to be recognized by and communicate with a computer. It sounds like the mods you are referring to have the drivers as part of their existing firmware and are therefore automatically recognized when you plug them in.

It's not impossible for Sigelei to release software and drivers in the future to upgrade the firmware.

I'm not saying they will, but I'm also not saying they won't. I don't think anyone knows with 100% certainty. The Sigelei 213 has been advertised as firmware upgradeable from day one and still is, so I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that some of the bugs have the possibility to be addressed in the future.

If not, oh well, I can live with the little glitches I have experienced so far.

Actually they never did. It's the reviewers that were saying that. They may have been given wrong information, but it was never advertised as firmware upgrade-able.

Both element vape and myvaporstore have firmware updates listed in the features.

But Sigelei is not advertising it on their website, nor on/in the packaging of the product.

If it's not true then the dealers need to stop advertising that, it's very misleading if not a downright lie. How many people are trusting the validity of that claim?

Also, the Sigelei ufo is listed as having a micro USB port with no mention of a firmware update, which I feel just adds to the confusion about the 213.
