Sigelei Mechnical Mods

[Josh Sense]

What's that you say?

Kidneypuncher has the Bagua clones (the Chigua, as some call it.) for about $35?
I already have a brass one, but might as well get a stainless one another another brass.




got them in this evening, and in about 5 minutes I went Two-tone with them

I have named them, the twin "bag-you's"


I have more than 10 sigelei mechanical mods, they're great beater mods, I never cry when one gets worn out/dropped/beaten up, and usually with a few tweaks you can customize them to have a pretty decent appearance. (in other words, i have multiples of each, and this thread turned into a hobby for me.)


Next I'm going to look at doing the top cap mod that gets rid of the top ring, if i can find the tools.

I guess it might be common knowledge by this point,

but the brass bagua clone doesn't appear to be brass.. or stainless.

I have another of the brass ones that i've been beating up at work for 3 weeks, decided to brush it today. Didn't like that, figured I have 11 other sigelei mechs, so I put it in vinegar / salt. after almost an hour, nothing. Hit it with the butane torch for 10 minutes.. it got a much deeper gold/brass look to it.

put it in the oven for close to a hour set at 500. It changed color, I took it out, put it in a ice water bath, color changed back to the gold/brass it was after I hit it with the torch.

used pliers /gloves, held it over the blue flame of the stovetop for 10-15 minutes. changed color, color changed back.


next and last thing I guess I'm going to try is to go back to the white vinegar and let it soak overnight.

My chemistry was off. Tried vinegar / peroxide and 30 minutes later, I found the bowl full of green water and foamy stuff. I took it out, washed it, hit it with steel wool, washed again, and lightly polished...


Dat Patina Tho, it's a 1890's sigelei bagua. (looks better in person due to lighting.)

Does anybody have any info on button removal on the #20 v3 with the black locking ring? Also the 510 connection seems to be stuck?

Cheers.

Thanks but that doesn't show you how to remove the black locking ring? Plus mine isn't the flat top.

 

[Mart123]

Got to be some info out there?

Hi Josh
I'm looking at the Bagua myself.
How's the switch, voltage drop etc.?
What's your overall opinion?

Does anyone know, can I kick a sigelei 13b? How, with what gear?

In short, if it takes a 18xxx battery, yes. You might need an 18500 to use the kick unless there is an extension to allow 18650 and kick.
