sigelei 30w on ebay for cheap (around 70)... authentic? worth it?

[snackwitch]

Hey everyone,

Recently I have been looking for a good replacement APV and I was looking at the sigelei Zmax V5, but then I found out that some people are selling sigelei 30w for a little above 70 bucks. The ebay page does list them as authentic, is this too good to be true, or is it worth it? Anyone have this mod, is it worth pulling the trigger?

im not sure of the one from ebay but i do own one and it is fantastic i love it i got mine around 80$

I'm not sure of the Sigelei clone market, if there is any, I'm sure it's the same factory getting commissioned to make 50, and making 70. I'd risk it.

With the sigelei 30W, the lower limit is 7watts? Is this thing too powerful for something like a mini protank 2? What kind of setups work well on this..

Is it built well, will I have any issues with the 510 center pin? Can it handle any drops?

Pick it up here and you don't have to worry about the clone factor.

I picked mine up two weeks ago for $79 bucks from Vapor Co | For All Your Vaping Needs! they had a flash sale last week for 30% off.

They might have a sale soon being it's coming up to the 4th of July they use the same code regularly I've notice - discount code FLASH20(20% off) or Flash30(30% off)

I'm looking at doing the same thing man. Saw it on eBay as well as the 20 watt. Now that the word is out they'll all be gone, lol

how sturdy is it built? How is the 510 connector on it? I dont want to buy something that will become a paperweight in a month or so like my vamo v5

 

[mightymen]

The whole thing is built well. Pin is study you can adjust it with a small screw driver.

Takes IMR 18650 battery, it will work with 10 amps but you should use higher amp batteries in it.

Needless to say I love it, use protanks and fogger with it prefer the fogger.

Only wish it had step down regulation though I don't know of one that does yet unless you built your own mod with the SX350 chip.

It has a one year warrantee. You might want to google this to see how Sigelei hands this.

it is very sturdy the 510 pin is an adjustable screw takes a flat head to adjust it can be a pro or con realy dependnig on the vapor but yes it feel much more sturdy than the vamo i had sigelei covers a 1 year warranty on them as well

Do these take flat-top batteries?

 

[snackwitch]

Also, do you have to wave the thing like a baton to change the settings? I was just viewing pbusardo's review of the 20w and I think he mentions he has to turn it on the side to change the wattage/volatage? Is this true, no button to do this?

 

[mightymen]

Do these take flat-top batteries?

They take both though there has been some complaints that with flat top batteries the device can shut off, this has happened to me a few times already and three days ago I came up with my own fix, when using flat tops which I have four out of six batteries I put a dime between the adjustable battery screw(it has no battery spring it's pretty cool how they came up with this) and the battery been doing this for the past three day without any problems.

No shaking just lean it to right or left to adjust the menu takes a little to get use to after that it becomes natural.

One button only no problems.

I chain vape all day long and only use one Sony V4 battery each day.

I don't get the burning of the wick and flavor like I use to get from my Vamo v2/v5 EVEN at higher wattage settings

I do like this thing, but the whole rotating the mod thing sort of puts me off. It seems like a good drop or two might end up screwing the device up, and it will no longer be calibrated to understand when I am turning it left or right. Maybe a VTR is more my ticket, as I do need something that will still function if I accidentally drop it while standing (not that I would purposefully do this, but it has happened couple times with my vamo and spinner)

What happened to the telescopic body of the Sigelei Zmax, you would think they could have done the same for this device...

 

[mightymen]

Anytime you drop device there's a chance of doing damage, I don't see the sigelei 30 having any disadvantage if being dropped - no device is unbreakable.

 

[snackwitch]

mightymen, I was listening to a youtube video review and he mentioned that there were some models with longer battery caps to fit flat-top batteries,... do you know anything about this, if so, where can you get one of the longer caps for flat-tops?

Two guys from work ordered them off of ebay last week. When they come in I can report back with how they compare to the 30w my other friend bought a few weeks ago from a reputable online store.

I have seen the telescopic battery tubes floating around, and they have a telescopic edition of the 20w. I am thinking of ordering the telescoping tube, or the 18350 tube for my 20w. If I can find it.

I have dropped mine a few times, usually just slips out of my pocket when I am sitting down. However it has had higher falls, no issues as of now. Not even a hint of the tilt feature having any problems.

Very pleased with my 1 month old Seigeli 20 watt. i have the 26650 tube From VariTabe and lvoe it. Would suggest running Sony VTR 5 batteries if going below 1 ohm or at least a 20 amp IMR battery. I paid $75 on sale for it!

 

[RealRedRaider]

I have the Seven-30 (SX-300) 26650 VV/VW Mod and love it!

I am vaping it daily at 0.6 ohm and up to 30 watts.

Got it off eBay prior to them hitting the shelves at B&M's for $125.
