Sigelei Mechnical Mods

[CountSmackula]

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?

Yep, 2 different length 'body' tubes. We were able to order an extended tube that would allow the use of the kick in 18650 mode.
I ordered a spare, planning on using it on my #20, but no love. DIFFERENT threads! Why the sigelei doesn't have standardized threading on their mech mods is beyond my comprehension.

Gack! Vaportek just announced they have the Brass #19e/Nzonic head in stock with NO GLUE, and No MAGNETS!

Sigelei #19

I just ordered a Brass Bagua Clone.....I might as well just give them my credit card & tell them to just take all my money....

Humm, did you get it from bucky? I guess I didn't see the option to add the kick tube. I don't use the kick in my mechs anyway, was just wondering if I was supposed to get one but didn't.

Sounds like it was an option to pay extra for the kick tube then?

I've already got one on the way from Celtic Vapes, but I am glad that Vaportek is carrying Sigelei parts now. Because of a little mess on the two 19e pre-orders, I ended up with two 19e mods. (And I'm not upset about that at all!)

You probably got mine - they sent me a 19b when I ordered a 19e/Nzonic. I sent it back & just put the funds toward the Brass Bagua clone... I love VaporTek, but they are growing so fast that they are experiencing some growing pains at the moment...

Yes, I was pretty frustrated with them during the 19e pre-order, but they made everything right. Hopefully they will get better as they grow. I do like their pre-orders, and like you I need to just have a portion of my check direct deposited to their account.

Got my 19E in today with the 18650 kick tube. (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.
I want to swap the lock rings between the switches to keep the mix-n-match theme going.

Mine is glued too The buttons are too stiff IMO, and I can't get any of them apart still

It was an extra, and I think added after it all started. I had to go back and resubmit to order it if I remember correctly. I also ordered extra springs

I think the only part they offer is the nzonic head...unfortunately, to get the not-glued switch we have to buy the entire mod. I couldn't find any other parts on the site. Maybe I'm missing something...

Ahhh, I may have misunderstood. Celtic Vapes in the UK sells the brass bottom button with no glue and no magnet.

I'm dreading taking this thing apart again... the SS #19 I had was harder than 8 .....es in a ..... boat.

Did they fix the misfire issue on the switch in the new one? Like, is everyone's brass #19 misfiring like crazy like the older ones? I still gotta test mine this weekend, ain't got a chance to yet.

Yeah, like Stoneface said, it was an extra cost option. Pretty bummed that the threads on the #20 are different. Wasted $$, oh well - not the first time.
Mine started misfiring after the first couple of hours using it. Gonna have to gorilla this one apart like the 19B.

Mine hits fine (so far...), but I still want to get at least one of these buttons apart. I'm considering the boiling trick now, but I still want to keep the magnet in the 19B or buy one of the $14 switches...

Ok..... so I finally had the switch failure on my #20..... oddly enough it didn't fail with a sub ohm setup. It failed with a vivi nova..... anyways, after FINALLY getting the darned thing apart, I decided for the time being to continue with Sigelei's design. I used a spring out of a clicky pen. Much trials later, I finally got it to a point where it does not autofire. I wouldn't bet the farm on it lasting for too long because this spring has a resistance issue and makes the button heat up. What thread pitch or metric number screw are people using to replace the pins and shoddy connection inside?

Just a heads up... My Sigelei #8W has shorted out two Panasonic 18650s in a row. I'm afraid to throw another battery in the device in fear of ruining it. The Sigelei immediately got incredibly hot when the fire pin was depressed. A simple Smoktech 1.7ohm carto was used when this problem presented itself. The carto was subsequently tested and has proven to not be the cause of the short. If the device itself is at fault, which it appears to be, I am curious if anyone knows of any remedy or where the short may be occurring. I am also curious if I am not alone in this problem. If the Sigeleis are shorting out, this might be a matter the public should be aware of... I might also add that the 8W has not been modified in any way.

 

[Lhartman89]

Sawtooth, is there a spring in it that touches the battery?

 

[bzmotoninja83]

I was wondering the same

No spring... it is covered by the base. Only thing contacting the battery is the bottom screw (?) and the top pin.

 

[eHuman]

No spring in the 8W. (well there's one that is hidden that returns the button to neutral)

 

[bzmotoninja83]

Could there be a short in the base? Or, its a resistance issue similar to what people were going thru with the GG clones when using a genesis or with the sigelei Zmax having issues with the spring. The bottleneck can make the button or device get hot.

It is possible that there may be a short in the base... But I suspect the short may lie within the adjustable top pin. It seems awfully wonky, tbh.

I use a Sigelei kick clone with 18500 in my 8w. I haven't had any type of problems?
