My 8w is an 18650 tube, using flat top batteries (efest, panny, aw, sony) and my atty's sit flush with the cap and have no gaps at all. I didn't have to sand anything. All I did was unscrew the positive pin out, screw any atty in, then screw the positive pin back in, and adjust the tiny screw for a rattle free mod.

That's probably because an 18650 is about 300mm longer than an 18350.

I didn't mean exact measurements, that's why I said 350ish bigger. a 18350 doesn't sit as far up into the cap as a 18650 does. So It's inconsistent for the 2 sizes, the longer tube the battery's seem to poke up more than with the shorter tube.

Same mod just with different atomizers, and yes they all fire :D

Nice pics, all those look sweet. I should have been more clear in my comment. Most of my attys would sit flush, but not all of them. I had a few that wouldn't (like my Trident) and I have some rsst's that have silver plated screws I bought from a mod maker that are a bit longer than the stock ones... so they have to poke farther out of the bottom of the 510 threading or the drip tip will touch the top of the screw. That's why I had to sand it... just barely though so they would fit with my nipple top batteries. My other cheapo mods I didn't seem to have to do this to. No problem though, I like sanding and modding stuff... that's kinda why I buy china stuff, to play around with.

Only thing that's killing me is the fact the SG1 hybrid kit will work with the 350 tube size, but not the 650 tube size.

Unless someone on here has their 8W in 650 hybrid mode with the SG1.... if so, let me know how you did it. You will forever be my hero. I'm gonna get the 350 tube size so I can do it. And I'm sure I can figure out a mod to get a 18500 battery to work in hybrid mod with the 650 tube size.

You mean to tell me that a 18650 is only about 300mm bigger than a 18350?
Sorry..... had to.

Haha, I see what your saying... my math is off, Lol. I feel extra smart today.

I'm like "350 plus 350 equals 650 right" duhhhhh.

i now have a ridiculous amount of siegeli mechs. aside from the flat top zmax, i have the 13, the 19b, the 20, 2 24's, and i'm sure i am leaving something out. they're just so inexpensive and fun! i think i'll eventually start to tinker with them, but for now, i'm just enjoying touching them and playing with them. sometimes they work great, sometimes they don't. that's part of the fun, though-figuring out how to make a $20 mod work like a $200 one.

Has anyone using the #19 had it mess up their thumb? I am left handed and when I take a vape, I hold it like in the pic and I now have a bump on my thumb. I don't think it is going to go away but it has been there for at least a week I wanna say. Just figured I would ask lol. I know it's a little odd to post it, but I was just curious if it was just me or what lol.

I hold mine in the webbing between the thumb and pointer finger, then use my ring finger to fire it, very little pressure need to hold it. I don't crunch my hand up like that picture but I can understand why you're getting that bump.

what the!?:shock: you might be the first to have a mechanical combat callus :D

I know right lol! It's not a blister either from what I can tell. I think you are right about it being a callus. I guess I must be the first one to get a mechanical callus lol. I think it happened when I had the spring stock in my #19. Since I heated it to make it easier to push, it doesn't bother me as much. I've now started to try putting my thumb up on the atty instead of tucked like that. I just hope it goes away.

Thank's for the pic's eHuman. I tried it that way and it feels different, but I am sure if I did it more I would get used to it. I think I am going to try doing it the same way as in my pic, but with my thumb extended up as I am already familiar with it. But again, I do appreciate you posting the pics.

Got my 19E in today with the 18650 kick tube. :D (No kick in place in the pic.)
Here's a mix-n-match photo:

No magnet in the switch, but the button is glued in place just as firmly as the 19B's was. :-x
I want to swap the lock rings between the switches to keep the mix-n-match theme going. :)

I got mine yesterday as well... didn't get to play with it yet. What do you mean by the 18650 kick tube? Did yours come with two different tubes? Or is the normal tube just longer than the regular #19?
