Sigelei Mechnical Mods

[justinstar77]

Just got my #24. I'll post pics after dinner with my lady. I'm blessed she puts up with all my mods and tinkering.

i got the 24 today. i took the plastic ring off almost immediately (i figure if i want/need it, i can always attach it again). it's much heavier then the 19 or 20, feels fairly solid, the threads are nice, and it vapes as well as any of the other siegelei mechs i've had or have. i kinda like it. almost too nice to be a "beater", like intended.

I see all kinds of people asking for a #20 switch mod. I completely reworked my switch a bit over a month ago and it is still going strong. My #20 now has an adjustable brass center center pin, and does not require a weird (and potentially weldable) spring to make contact.

Great post. I dont even have a #20 and I really appreciated that....

Pics of the #24

All the bits.

510 end of the switch head
Notice the airflow control and adjustable center post

Here's the firing pin and switch assembly

Not bad as far as the firing mechanism goes.

Finally the bottom cap and tubes.

Thanks justinstar77. I cant really tell how that switch works. Could you explain? Thanks

Here's the #24 in thumb button 18650 mode with a nimbus clone on top.

And here it is in pinky/palm button mode.

I didn't take pics of the locking ring and lanyard but without on/off ability in the switch I can see the locking ring part coming in handy to keep it from firing in the pockets.

If you look through the tube in the middle you'll see the firing pin. It looks like a cone/spike. When you press the button the firing pin slides in between the gap between the pins on either end.

Looks like Sigelei is reading this thread. That looks like the optimal mod for the #20 fix. Good post.

The #24 switch is setup a lot like the way I modded my #20

My #20 firing pin is a screw head. It taps against the top and bottom pin. I wrapped the top pin in the 20 with a wire and soldered it so the diameter matched the bottom pin.

Sooooo umm... does the #24 head fit onto the #20 body without issue?

I was just wondering the exact same thing!

 

[justinstar77]

It won't thread onto the 20. I tried but the threads are different.

Sigelei 24 CoOp anyone?

I know, sorry mate. But you do have Todd on that side of the pond

I'd be interested in the locking button version of the #24.

Mind if I ask where you got your 24 from?

Sigelei#23 is a pretty decent mech,can be top or bottom fired,works well out of box,well for me anyway!

Took a break from the 19e and worked on my #8. Fully modded, all brass contacts exposed, new spring on the negative post, and a shimmed switch. Sanded the top cap flat and got rid of the ashtray look lol. Got this one vaping pretty strong. It would be nice to see a #8 in all brass!

 

[minimalsaint]

Feeling a tad guilty. Bought 2 #19s (stainless & brass) and a #8 as well, but I haven't even opened the box for the #8. The 19s have been so much fun to mod and tinker with that I haven't even thought about it.
Maybe tonight. After I finish the switch on my 19e. Or tomorrow since I'm wrapping some coils also. Maaaaybe Friday. OK maybe I bought too many.
