I have just recieved my sigelei 75W, put on my nautilus Mini with Ni200 coils. It is vaping great, but I have one issue: the driptip is getting very very hot after only 3 puffs (to the point I burn my lips if I am not carefull)....even when I put it to only 20W/120C. I have tried al air flow options, but no (to little) difference
It is a very short RVS driptip so that could be part of the problem (I did try a longer one but that had the same issue (I only have metal driptips)). But I think even with plastic driptip this would be an issue.
Anybody got any clue why this is happening, anyone with the same experience?
Did you lock the resistance in first?

I did, but it was pretty off when compared with manufacturer spec (box say 0.3 ohm, sigelei say 0.45 ohm).....I tried again and now sigelei says 0.35 ohm.....
I must say that did seem to make a difference....maybe I jumped the gun with my comment.....it is now much better......should I lock the atty with or without juice in it?
Maybe that was my mistake....

Alos not sure if the vape was to hot or the driptip itself...need to experiment some more (but 120C/250F is pretty low as I hear most people vaping at over 400F)

Only have it for 30 minutes now...but love it already :) no rattle, nothing iffy with the magnetics doors, just solid....and the vape is alot better than I get from my Istick 20W with same tank (nautilus).....

Maybe I just need some more experience with TC :)

...and twisted...lol!!

aside from the rattles from the fire button and the side panel, it is a very nice device for the money. TC is excellent running at 320F for a Ti build at 0.38 ohms. Resistance measurement seem pretty accurate. The UI is great and I am surpised how much I like the form factor. A good addition to the collection overall!

Thanks, I just snagged one of them. Actually it still shows 10 units available so maybe they actually have more than that.

Now the Sigelei 75W product page on EcigAvenue indicates 5 in stock. Maybe the inventory tracking software doesn't update the stock number until each order has completed processing.

Mine should arrive today, I'm so excited, I hope my post woman reads the address correctly and puts it in my box instead of one of the neighbors. That happens a lot unfortunately. Now I want to get a new tank for this. I currently have 2 subtank minis but they are restricted to 30 watts. That would be like driving a sports car in a school zone. I looked a Zephrus and they go to 50 watts but how are they for temp control? I would really like something that would take both replaceable heads or let me build my own. What tanks are everybody using on these?

currently using the nautilus mini on it...works great in TC and normal mode, ofcourse no sub-ohmen with this tank or RBA.
I am thinking to get the Triton with the RBA deck for it. seems a great allround tank....but think I wait a bit as I stil have lots of Nautilus coils :)

Sometimes still have the very hot driptip. Ordered a non-metalic one to see if that helps. Strange thing is it only happens sometimes, maybe something to do with the way I vape :)
It's another reason for me to get the Triton, apparently it has some sophisticated heat dissipation system.

Now I have used it a bit longer I also noticed my magnetic doors do have some wiggle in them...nothing major, but still a minor glitch. Resistance measurements seems a bit more accurate now (no more devation by 0.1 ohm as with my first try, so that was probably user error. It now measures 0.33 on a coil with 0.3 as its factory specs)

Apart from those minor niggles I think it is a great device....especially great vape in TC mode.

I caved and ordered the Triton this morning. That will at least give me a tank that can go above 30 watts. I am looking at the Freemax Starr and the Heracles for higher wattage and TC. I may end up purchasing those from my local B&M. I have to buy something from them other than the occasional coils so I stay in their good graces for some browsing time:rolleyes: They have pretty decent prices on tanks and coils and are pretty experienced in their vape gear, they may point me to something else.

please let me know how the Triton works out on this device (if you can compare it to the Nautilus, if you have it, that would be great) as I am also about to pull the trigger on this one,but can't really justify it for me yet as that would leave my nautlis with about 15 coils unused :) but if it is a great approvement I won't wait :) and will donate my Nautilus to my grilfriend.

Got mine today with 2 starre pro tanks.

Anyway - I am not using temp control. Seems out of the box to be fine. I already knew before bought it both sides have to be removed for battery swap and no nylon strap. I will probably add one someway.

It was easy to use, I need the full 75 for my Crown Uwell tank so that is what I am testing with. I don't like that the screen only shows a battery logo vs. a battery %. Knowing my Sig 150 dies at 30% I have no idea how that translates to just an icon.

With my tanks on it weigh 11 oz and the sig 150 12oz. lol. o_O

I have had the Sigelei in my hands for 5 minutes and I am in love. I had new Samsung 25R charged and at the ready and my new Subtank Mini was working on my old VTR at 15 watts w/ 1.2 ohm coil. I moved the tank over and set the wattage up to 20 and the flavor and clouds are awesome. Now, I'm going to change out to the .5occ, it can only get better.
I opted for the Silver model and this paired with the Subtank is just sexy. The magnetic doors are in good shape and flush, and no button or battery rattle. The battery fits in there so tight it couldn't possibly rattle. The menu is super easy to navigate. I can tell already that device is probably going to be even more awesome in TC and I don't even know that much about TC. I may get another one for an extra, I like it so much.
Drugarth, I won't get the Triton in my vapemail until Monday or Tuesday. I have never tried the Nautilus so I'm afraid I can't do a comparison but you may want to check max wattage on the Nautilus. I was a little disappointed that the Subtank is only rated to 30 watt.

A few hours later... I still love it but have noticed a slight wiggle to the side door on the right. Not enough to bother me and if it does, a small piece of tape would be a temporary solution.
