i contacted element vapes about the issue of the different sleeves (frosted vs. black and which sleeve each device will come with), and they said it depends on the batch that they receive. a little bit of a bummer, but i suppose if you want a particular color sleeve you'll have to work a little more and inquire with the particular shop you're shopping at.

Just received the mod today and have been using it for the past hour. At first, I thought I had a defective device until I remembered that with YiHi chips, you need to manually set the resistance. Duh. What I like about the mod is the small size (it is almost the same size as my rDNA except it is 1/16" narrower and 5/16" taller) and the simple controls (the adjustments are exactly like my Snow Wolf 200). It has now replaced my rDNA40. I also like the very audible click you get when you release the fire button.

I got the black and it came with a translucent white silicone sleeve.

Recieved my new black Sigelei 75w last night. The quality, feel, and size are great! Both battery doors fit securely, no gaps or movement. Tiny bit of button rattle, but not really noticeable. I really like the feel of it. Heavy, but not to heavy. Feels like a well built mod.

Mine came with the frosted silicon sleeve FWIW.

I have used it in both Temp and Power mode with excellent results. Easy to navigate through any settings. Really enjoying it so far, worth the $50 I paid for it!!!

I was hoping that no adjustment would be needed for the doors, snap on snap off , are you saying you got to fit them right?

I think it's just going to come down to how lucky you are, when I bought mine the shop's display model was perfect, doors were extremely solid and didn't move at all regardless of where you applied pressure. On mine one door was just as perfect, but with the other if you pressed the bottom front corner, the top back corner would raise up.

After fiddling with the locating pins on the door, the raised grooves on the chassis, and bending the door in different ways I finally got it solid, but in the process managed to push one of the locating pins too hard and dented the door, so be careful if you plan to do any final fitting on those pins!

Wow, the door is that thin that it dented ?

Mine had it's 1st glitch after having it 5 days. I was vaping away when the screen went dead. I was still able to vape but the screen was black. I turned the device off and waited 20 seconds and turned it back on. This happened last night and it has been working flawlessly today so hopefully it was just a 1 time thing, or maybe it has a stealth mode that no one mentioned (I could read the manual maybe :blush:)

Like Kbriggs said they are actually really thick, but the magnets and the raised locating pins are set kind of deep into the door. I was using a vice with a hollow punch to better seat the locating pin so it was a pretty good amount of pressure and I can't imagine the doors would ever be damaged during normal use, just me using brute force instead of finesse and intelligence ;)

Picked mine up yesterday at Vapecan. Was on the fence about it until I actually saw it in person and the size just blew me away. It's a lot small then expected. So far it's been working pretty good. I haven't had a chance to test the TC on it yet but will do so this week. I had s similar issue when I first turned it on, wasn't firing until I started pushing some buttons and realized I had to set the resistance first. Great looking device. Looking forward to when they release other colour doors for it.

Ok I have been playing with this thing in Temp control for a couple days. I have a Crown tank and It came with a .15 dual nickel coil and two other dual coils that use stainless steel heating coils a .5 and a .25. The nickel coil seems to get too hot or dry out anyway I seem to get a dry hit on it once in a while. I put in the .5 stainless coil and used it in power mode for a while and had to set the Sigelei to 75 watts to even get a decent vape but still not hot enough. So I thought let me try it on Temp Control. Well it seems to preform better than on power mode. I can set it at 50 watts and 440 degrees and get a very nice vape. Whats the deal with that?
