Never used temp control, but just ordered this one. Couldn't beat the price. Said they have 20 in stock for the silver on ecig avenue. $55.99 plus the 10% coupon. Much cheaper than any other site I've seen with it. Got the sigelei Elite tank and a 5 pack of the ni200 coils. Plus the priority shipping for $92.32. Not bad at all, I was gonna get a vaporshark, but this seems smarter.

Good Reviews on the Elite Tank and seems to be good build quality. I may order one but I like to stick to tanks that are popular so if I need to pick up a coil, I can get it from the local B&M if I don't have time to wait for vapemail.

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.

Later still...I used the device yesterday from 5:00 to midnight and then up at 5:00 AM and started on it again.It is now 9:30AM and my battery bar is still showing 1/8 of the battery remaining. I am thinking that it will fire until the battery bar gets to empty, then we will see what happens. It still works as good now as when I first started, no reduction in power, but my week old 1.2 atomizer coil is now reading 1.21 ohms. I never did put the .5 in as it vapes so well with the 1.2 and I wanted an accurate read on what is happening with the whole device while the battery drains. I should see shortly if I get the low battery message or if it just shuts down, but so far the battery life is incredible and these same batteries would only go about 4 hours on my old mod at 15 watts with the same atomizer.
Update on the battery 1 hour later.......... Battery icon showed empty and I got 1 last good vape on it before it would just fire up and stop. I tried it a couple of times. No message, just an empty battery so once the battery icon shows empty it basically just stops. That's fine I don't have to watch the voltage on the batteries to know when it's going to run out, but a full battery should last me 10 hours of constant use. :)

True, but the local shops usually only stock subtank or atlantis coils, but the one here doesn't stock ni200 coils. I watched another video on the sigelei 75w and it looks like a very simple menu to navigate. Not much of a learning curve except figuring out watts/temp I just got to put it through it's paces. I see running it at 75w in power mod for a couple days. I need to push it before I do a review. Although Mike Vapes did the dry cotton test and it seemed perfect until it got to 500+ degrees and it was a lot of charring.

The main B&M I go to doesn't carry the Nickel coils, but we have a little country road B&M that carries a good variety. I like the reviews and looks of the Elite, please let me know how long the coils last. I may just order extra coils. Wish they had a RBA for it.

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.
to be honest it's pretty hard to compare a triton with a nautilus! Two very different tanks to say the least!

After a few days of heavy use my Sig 75 is still working great, the only complaint I've found (other than the rattle on one door) is that this thing seems to go through batteries faster than the SX Mini, I'm using about 3 a day with the Sig vs about 2 with the SX (when I was using the SX exclusively)

Although it's hard to make a direct comparison because of the Joules and Watts thing, but they should be the same in the sense that watts are just joules per second, so it's really the same setting with a different name. But setting the SX to 30J Std Mode 480F gives the same vape as the Sig at 50W 480F so I wonder if the difference just comes down to how exactly the two chips are doing their regulating. Either way the Sig seems to be less efficient compared to the SX, not exactly surprising considering the SX board is more expensive than the entire Sig 75W mod

rounding third and heading home...
another good tank for the sigelei 75 is the anyvape fury tank- a top filling tank that almost looks like a subtank but can take atlantis and atlantis ccomparable coils if you run out of the anyvape coils. i am running this tank with atlantis ni200 coils and it has been the most enjoyable vape i have ever experienced. huge airflow both to the coil and the drip tip along with the easy top fill design along with a nice capacity make this a worthy contender in the glass clearomizer category. YMMV but i just love mine......

At 20 watts I got more than 12 hours out of the battery I put in today. I running brand new Samsung 25R. I am sure when my other tank comes and I have a lower ohm coil and crank the wattage up to around 50 it will probably cut my battery life to half. I will post up when I find out.

Yeah you'll be draining batteries faster running at those higher wattages, it really doesn't seem like horrible battery life to me by any means just worse than the only other TC mod I have to compare it to. I'm a pretty heavy vaper so I'm getting a good amount of vape time out of it, I don't want it to seem like I'm suggesting it has miserable battery life or anything ;)

Anyone that ordered from ecigavenue this weekend have theirs shipped yet? I've had faster shipping times from Amazon haha. I saw on their site though, "Same day or next day shipping" unless they sold more than they have. Although, it said they had plenty in stock when I ordered. Yes I'm impatient :facepalm: excited to finally see why the hype of temp control is so high.

I was about to ask the same thing. I ordered late Friday night. I got the automated email right away but as of 3:20pm CDT today, no notice yet on shipping. And since I didn't create an account on checkout, I don't see a way to check on my order unless I contact their support department. I'll wait until the end of the day before doing that.

Exactly for me as well about the account, I rarely create accounts when I order if I don't have to. I was gonna wait til about 5:30 central time which would make it 3:30 their time in California before I emailed them. I even created account thinking maybe I could somehow see it or put the order number into see, but not much options with accounts on there.

So for those who currently have theirs, how are you finding the tc control, is it accurate? And is everyone's side panels rattling? Hoping to pick one up this weekend at VapeCan in Toronto
TC good. Running Ti at 320F. Works well. 25W. Nice vape. Vaped it dry eyesterday to test and no burnt hit.
One panel moves the other is solid. The biggest irritation is the rattly fire button.
