Sigelei 213W or Fuchai 213W

[SLM]

Hi. I'm looking for a new dual series battery mod and these look pretty interesting.

Is there any real difference between them other than the look and cost? They seem to spec the same or am I missing something?

Thanks!

As far as I know, the only difference is that the Sig 213 uses Fahrenheit for TC while the Fuchai 213 uses Centigrade. Apparently, neither of them work well in TC mode. I own a Fuchai and love it but I only use Wattage mode. Just ordered a second one. Seems that most people who strictly use wattage, love the mod while everyone else hates it!!!!

if you want working TC, neither! they're both broken so to speak! they work awesome In wattage mode! lovin the preheat.. TC is a bust though, burns the cotton big time.

 

[OhTheAgony]

I forbid you to buy either one

All kidding aside though, who wants to support a company that operates the way they do?

As soon as the word got out there was something seriously wrong with the 213 they changed their warranty policy so that it would become basically impossible to get any service at all.

It's up to you of course, but I'm never buying another sigelei product ever again after this fiasco.

I've never tried TC so that's not huge but I did read there were warranty issues.

Any other suggestions on a smallish dual series mod?

If you like the look and form factor of the ahem....."213" you might want to check out the iPV 6X
It is very similar in looks, but will have a Yihi chip.

Are you a low power vapor or a high power one? (<25W or >25W)

The iStick TC100 or the Cuboid are both decent mods and inexpensive. The former is a parallel battery configuration while the latter is a series configuration.

Or if your pockets are deep you could get a YiHi SX Mini Q.

I agree with the Cuboid. I have the Fuchai and the Cuboid. Cuboid is slightly taller and way heavier but fits really well in your hand. Can't go wrong with the price as well.

Even with the TC issues, I still grabbed a Fuchai when they were under $50. No regrets, I like it. I also have a IPV6X on preorder...I guess it might ship this fiscal year. The Cuboid, meh, its a heavy block. Side by side:

My iPV4s is my daily carry, love it but the fire button is getting... sketchy. Sometimes ya gotta kinda wiggle it to make it work. I was thinking about a 5 to replace it. The 6 looks like it has a decent shape and l think I know why they did it but I'm not digging the 510 in the middle on the 6.

Well, not crazy high but usually between 30 and 50 watts.

That Cuboid is pretty decently priced. Less than $40.00 US is pretty tolerable. I'll have to see if I can dig up the weight. I have a Dovpo Guardian 1.5 that's my house mod cuz it weighs a ton!
@chief63 You're not a fan of the Cuboid I take it?

I'm liking the IPV400 sofar... there's a couple vids up on YouTube, and it looks promising I want to know what the diff is between the 6X and the 400

 

[SLM]

Yea, that IPV400 has caught my attention too. I like the looks better than the 6 personally.

im really liking the look of it... but until I see a cotton burn test i'm not diving in head first like I did with the sigelei 213! it's a yihi board so, it should do what it says it will. I hope

Cuboid is a great choice due to being a dual 18650, reliable TC, and solid design. Upgraded firmware gives you 200 watts

Good to know, thanks. I did order a Cuboid, didn't know about the firmware upgrade. I doubt I'll ever need 200w but would be nice to have.

The 6X is supposed to be zinc alloy and should have a larger display.

 

[psyc63]

I am loving my Fuchai. i use kanthol clapton coils in wattage mode no regrets.

 

[louiesquared]

Not certain about the 6x but according to reviews the 400 is not firmware upgradeable.

 

[nelsonm64]

damn YIHI. I guess they won't support boards they aren't using in their own devices...

 

[SLM]

Found a decent deal on the Fuchai so I ordered one.. I figured what the heck, why not? It was reasonable enough.

Now to see how the 6x seems and I'd still like DNA200 based device.
