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

No side panel rattle...but the firing button rattles like a 55 Rambler station wagon. Otherwise the look and operation seem dead on, at least the first few hours I've used it.

Just got mine in the UK.

So far I love it, except the buttons are a disgrace. The fire button clicks loudly when I release it, boo. It doesn't rattle though. The up and down buttons rattle, and it is obvious that these two are formed from a single piece of plastic.

I hope I come to terms with the buttons, because I really love everything else about it, great weight and size, just what I was looking for to go with my aspire triton.

the wierd thing is that if i swap the panels they fit perfectly but my OCD doesnt like the sigelei log being upside down, and my safe side doesnt like the venting/cooling holes being in the wrong place...It is a bit strange how different these units are really - especially the fire button thing. One would think that if one rattles, then most all would do the same as it is a poor design. Seems like there is a micture of issues. As for vaping performance, it is pretty good I think..

Haven't tried temp control on it a great deal yet. I'm using some slightly older 25r's from the unmarried stack. The batteries I ordered just for this one are getting a tour of this great country courtesy of the USPS....really, California to South Carolina and the package has been through 3 postal facilities in freaking Chicago. I'm just gonna pay the extra $$ for priority from now on...even on a $8 order for orings.

USPS first class has taken my packages on some interesting trips this week as well. I have one coming from Southern CA to MD, but it made a pit stop in Oak Creek, Wisconsin for a couple days before moving onto Virginia.

Hehe I also have that issue: side doors are not quite fitting in their normal configuration, but when I flip them to the other side they fit perfectly....so I have done that...only thing is the logo is now upside down :) not worried about the venting holes being on the wrong side...battery still is aligned with them but just on the other side, doesn't seem a problem.
 
I got mine in from ECig Ave. last night great service and shipping ordered Fri. morning and received it Monday...Cali to Fl and for only $50 bucks is a good deal. My initial impressions are this is a solid device, the side pannels fit good none are loose and non of the buttons rattle at all. The fire button is a little stiff a solid click to fire it but i think thats a good thing so it doesnt fire in your pocket or accidently. The screen is nice an big and lights up very well. I was suprised at how hevy the device is with the battery in it. Its only a little bit lighter than the SX Mini and as for the size its about the same exact size of the SX Mini. Though the SX does feel smaller in the hand due to the curved back but it still feels nice in hand with a smooth finish and solid build. I havent thrown a ni200 build in yet but it works good in the Power mode from my limited use today. My only little complaint may be the 510 is set a little far back with the lemo drop it sticks out where the curve is maybe 2 or 3 mm and the lemo doesnt sit complety flush there is a small gap which may go away after the 510 pin gets some use. But im happy with my initial impressions and for $50 its worth it. Im going to throw a nickle build on tonight and see how it preforms aginst the SX Mini.

I'm with you Peter...got mine yesterday...doors are very solid, no rattle of the buttons. I like the click on the release. No bother to me at all. Not using it in church or the movie theatre so no issue. Screen is nice and bright (compared to my invisible screen on the IPV4). Love the solid feel. Wish they had moved the 510 toward the center just a bit so the 22mm tank would not have that gap at the curved edge. Otherwise a winner.

the gap is due to the fact that 22mm devices sit onb top of the side panels that are not totally flush with the top of the mod! Take the panels off and it will screw down just fine I reckon...

My brother who just started vaping a week ago and didn't really care for it, called last night out of the blue to tell me he was tired of using my old broken down mods and he wanted something new, that was more powerful, and that the coils would last or he could build his own coils and it would make a lot of clouds. Going to order his new Sigelei 75 today. I was planning on him getting one anyway, but was waiting for him to decide he wanted one. He also wants a coil master kit and some Nickel Wire. Think we will also order some of the OCC prebuilt nickel coils as well. I'm so proud:thumb: Also I was waiting to get enough together for another order so I could try TC on the new Sig 75.

Their sigelei 100W/150W UI was nothing like ipv3 / yihi UI, even though it used yihi firmware, and did the same thing for all intents and purposes. I personally beleive they made the boards in house for those as well, at least they claimed as much, like they claim with this one. I tend to believe them, for at least the 150W I have taken apart, the physical board layout is a bit different from the SX330v3 that most people claim it uses, and I didn't see yihi printed on the PCB like I have with every yihi board I've used, even though it clearly uses yihi based firmware. Its possible they make the boards in house authorized from yihi, like the yosen SX300 boards which aren't made by yihi, but an authozied manufacturer. They could be straight up getting the boards from p4y and cloning them too. If you notice release dates from p4y and sigelei, sigelei has been a couple weeks/months behind the p4y offerings for products using the "same" boards.

However, its also entirely possible yihi makes boards with different hardware layout for sigelei.

All the speculation of who makes what could easily be cleared up from the companies, but most of these China outfits don't seem to like transparency.

I have a well used Sigelei 100W (v1) the version with the reverse threaded screw adjustable copper 510, which is now stuck but still fires most of my atties, I'm on the verge of ordering a Sigelei 150W box mod (not the TC version), are there any problems with the chip, I always believed they were made by YiHi so I'm a little put-off if they are made in-house and are not accurate ... what's the deal with the Sigelei 150W box mod ? tia

Just got mine in the mail. Smaller than I expected it to be. Ridiculously simple to navigate. Haven't vaped it yet, but I will and I'll get a picture of it all. I found it interesting the first warning in the manual (Which most people don't read) is it says not to use it while it's being charged.
