Sigelei #8 or Smoktech The Natural?

[Mpower3d]

So I've narrowed down my mech search to these 2 mods but am having trouble deciding between the two. Could someone please make this decision easier for me?!? Also I plan on running an RSST on it...

between the 2 I'd probly het the sigelei. From what I've read, the Natural sometimes doesnt close all the way in 18650 mode, leaving a gap between the tubes. The #8 on the other hand is probly regarded as the best sigelei clone out. Also with the RSST, the #8 can be made int a hybrid with minimal $$ or effort. Just my

sorry for the newb question but what changes it from a regular mech to a hybrid?

I own both the Natural and the #8. I prefer the #8 since all my RBAs fit much better without having to sand down anything or other adjustments. Hit is about the same; build quality equal, and looks are subjective, but I really like the #8. It is a very good mod for the $$.

I have a #8. No problems with it. However I have a few panasonic 18650s that wont allow the #8 to close either. They are rather big compared to the AWs i have though.

If you don't mind a little bit of modding I posted a 30 minute fix for the natural in the natural thread on here. It basically get rid of most of your voltage drop and gets rid of all the gaps allowing you to use any size battery button top or flat. If you have the 18500 tube it will also allow you to use an 18 650 battery with the kick. This is why I went with the natural. Its been 30 minutes sanding and filing a few things down and I was able to fit n18 650 with the kick. No gaps also I can use button top batteries with no gap.

It's called the SG-1 Fusion or something like that. Check the Sigelei mods thread starting around page 120 or so...there's also a way to make it a hybrid by cutting off the bottom threads of a spare sigelei top cap. Basically making the same thing as that Fusion connector. They show pics and link a video in the other thread somewhere.

Sigelei #8. I was in the same boat and managed to find a #8 at Vapor Tek USA for $32. They're in stock now I believe. I really like it and you can't beat the price. Some people have said that their mods arrived with chrome plated brass contacts but the one I just got in the mail had the regular brass contacts as advertised (no sanding required).

I'm using the natural & if u sand the top a little bit then atty will sit flush.. It's a good mod tho..Don't know about the #8, haven't tried to use nor found one nearby..

I'd go with the #8 for sure. At around $30 (give or take a couple bucks), you cannot beat the quality you get for the price. And, with a bit of research, and a couple hours of tinkering, you can squeeze out quite a bit of extra performance and/or cosmetic zazz.

Besides, it looks sexy as hell with a RSST on top.
