Anyone have an idea when some more sigelei #19's will become available again (preferably a US vendor)? I really like the looks of it.

venerablevaping will have some soon, keep watching their site.
They pop up all over the place, there are coops here as well.

Well now that I have bought (and sold most of) almost all of the sigelei mechanical mods that were released, I must say the sigelei #8 is the best performer out of the box. The Sigelei #8 was my first of the 6 or 7 I have owned and required the least amount of modifications to it. It is definitely the one I would recommend as a first to others, and here is a very informative Sigelei article that may be of interest to new and experienced alike.
I was torn between the two, but I'd rather have the #19 with the nzonic head and just mod the mod 
. Since having the K100 (and still loving it) I am a fan of bottom button firing. Seems like a cleaner look to me. The reviews that I have read of the #8 do seem to be pretty good though. Just personal preference.

really just adding some kind of metal to the switch on the 19 is the only needed mod. Other things can be done but the magnets dont hold you too far back.
I've got the 19 with the Nzonic head. All I did was take the spring and silver screw out of the new head and put the delrin and brass in the Nzonic head. Of coarse I use the Sigelei kick clone. Works great.

i just want that bottom switch. looks like it could make for a very short mod... the 8/13 switched are further up and add to the length, this would have to have the pin and switch all in the bottom cap... looks interesting. But, give it to me with a smooth body and #8 flat top cap please
This one works great. The only change to the stock switch is removal of the magnet and an addition of a wire. The spring is still stiff, so that would be an optional change out if you like a feathery touch, but the button travel distance is now only a mm or two. With this fix and removal of the top magnet and a new brass bolt postive pin with oring, I now get a .32v drop on a .7ohm coil on an RSST.
All credit for this fix goes to Studiovap. (Master Modder). After I did his fix, I decided to re-do and take a few pics to share them, it works that well.
Using a braided copper 16g wire. Formed an oversized loop that fits a very convenient existing gap between the plastic insulator and primary switch ring:
With the locking ring in place and fully screwed on, the wire should be secured (change wire gauge if needed):
Removed the locking ring for a bit of extra work room and with the brass pole in place, twist wire up and wrap around the pole threads:
Replace locking ring:
Insert spring:
When you screw the button onto the brass pole, it will compress and secure the wire at the brass pole thread. This also gives the brass pole extra height to offset the removal of the magnet.
Switch in normal resting position:
Switch in fully compressed pulse position:
wow thanks for this tip. now my #19 is hitting like a beast no more hot button and haven't had a misfire in a week even with the magnet still on it, thanks again

I am looking at getting a #8 but need to know if the Panasonic CGR18650 fit in em, and is there like a page of links I could follow for mods done to the 8, this will be my daily beater mod
yes the CGR's will fit. They are literally a nipple taller than efest. As for modding it. Rader gets the credit for the compiling, http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...93-modding-sigelei-8-maximum-performance.html
Yeah, you won't be sorry with #8 ... I bought mine based on recommendations found here and I've been VERY happy with it. I reach for it probably more than any other mod I have and I have a few.
In the beginning, some of us were posting after we had gotten the 13b (similar to the 69 mod) in a CoOp. It didn't fire consistently, so our host Michliu, got Sigelei to send us replacement parts to turn it into the 13a (bottom cap, switch, and bottom post). I've still been toying with the 13b to try to get it to work in both thumb button and pinky button configurations, but I haven't quite figured it out yet. I work on it for a few days and then set it aside in frustration. One of these days....
From what I remember once our 13b was turned into a 13a with the parts, it was a reliable mod. The post in the bottom cap is chromed, and many sanded the chrome off. The 8 gets more nods of approval than the 13a though.
