Hey gang. I've searched for a thread on the sigelei 50 watt V2 thread but had no luck finding one. If one does exist...please excuse me.

Just looking for information on how the "upgrades" are compared to the original version? Also...what are your overall thoughts on the device, and how is the performance?

Feel free to list pros as well as cons.

Thanks!

I'm planning to order one tomorrow.

I don't think it will get much love at the moment because the price is only $10 to $15 less than the 100 watt. I like the smaller box, one 18650 and 50 watts is plenty for the Lemo I'm going to have as a topper. The few youtube reviews I've seen on it were good (notably twisted420's and Martin Parker's).

Once I get it I'll post my first thoughts.

Thanks man! Yeah mine should be here by Saturday. I chose the 50watt v2 for the same reasons as you. 50watts is plenty, plus I like the looks much better then the 100watt.

Hey no problem. Thanks for the link. I bought mine off EBay. A very reputable seller. I've got a Sub tank mini that's going to be on top. I would honestly stay as far away the Smoke M50 as possible. Although I can't comment on the upgraded (65w) version, the original was the worst mod I've ever had. It was literally a joke! I'm just glad the vendor let me return it!

What was bad about the M50? I have read a lot of mixed reviews about it...

That's the one!! Its priority 2 day shipping, plus a portion of the sale goes to a good cause...for starters with the m50, the ohm meter was waaay off! It misfired quite often (the first day I got it) and I'm convinced the wattage output wasn't correct. Vaping a Nautailus mini at 13 watts, was much weaker then vaping the same tank on my Istick at 10 watts. I was just real disappointed all the way around

Thanks and duly noted! I'll skip the Smok box and go for an IPV Mini 70 watt instead.

Really excited to try the Sig 50 and 30. Post some pics when vape mail hits you! Thanks!

Here's my review from another thread.

I'm coming from an iTaste vv3 to the Sig 50w Vr2 black, I've had it a couple days & I love it. Going from an ego to this is just Wow. I've held a 100w old version & I thought it was too big & heavy. The 50w was heavy at first but I have gotten used to it quickly, & it is lighter & smaller than the 100w.

USB charging is nice as I didn't want to get a charger and deal with swapping batts. I do fidget with the door but not much & I think it will hold up well, I hope anyway. It seems to get a touch warm sometimes but I keep in pocketed next to my phone & vape frequently. The battery will last me a whole day, just barely without recharging at any point, vaping 9w with a tiny dripper & about 20w with the Lemo (black), at .8 & .5 Ohm, switching between them a few times daily. I'm using the Samsung 25R battery.

I love the look, feel & vape, it's comfortable in my hand. I like that it's authentic with a good chip. I'm sure there's a better device for the $ at this point, but this fits my needs & I've had no problems, the ohm issue has been corrected in this version. Buttons are clicky enough & won't chip but super tiny pin point chips have started to show up, just 2, shiny underneath & only noticeable to me because I've been making sweet sweet love to this thing. I can't find the silicone case available yet. I think this is a must buy but I'm picky.

My con's:
-USB socket is very slightly off center, still works with no hangups but may be a future problem if it loosens any
-Attys go on smooth but start to lean to one side until it is tightened down completely, then it sits flush, this may cause scratches, none yet, but it will be hidden anyway
-Battery door is held tight but still easy to open and play with unnecessarily
-Battery readout does not show percentage, which I would like

If you vape harder than I do you'll want two batteries, or just charge it at your desk or where ever throughout the day. I've probably gone through 4 ml of juice today & at 9pm I'm showing half battery.

Lemo is great on this rig. I don't think it can be easily vaped over 30 watts, starts to get dry on the second hit at 25 watts for me & my wicking, requiring priming pulls to perform (80% VG). I need a real dripper to find out what 50 watts is really like.


EDIT: It looks like you have a Sigelei logo on the charging side of your device by the 510. Mine does not have this. I got mine from eciggity.

Currently: After owning this for a couple weeks I still love it, dropped it three times, turned off each time, it's developing some scrapes and nicks but still looks great and works how it should.

Cheers
