I dont. No reason for me to. Plus i would be thinking about safety issues all the time. If I need more or less power I just change the resistance of my coil.
The #19 is back up for pre-order on exhale. I just ordered one.
I need to stop myself. I plan to order a K100 and then I am done for a while hopefully. I have an eVic, #13, #8, YJ lavatube, and CCTS already. I also have an Innokin SVD, iSeason, #20, and #19 on order wiating for them to come in within the next few weeks or so. Then I just have to wait for the K100 to be back in stock and I am good lol. So much crap. Oh, and I ordered an ego v 1100 mah and ego 650 mah from Fasttech coming along with about 14 batteries, a igo-l, and a short stop coming in lol! I just got an RSST and need some more ceramic wicks when those come back in stock.
My name is Lee and I have a vaping problem lol!

YES! Two dollars more than the last batch, $31.98, use code "VaporJoes11percent" to bring it down to $28.46. STILL has flat rate shipping for $1.99 This first batch hit the innertoobs about 2AM PST and were sold out in something like six hours. If you are seriously thinking about getting one of these I wouldn't think about it too long!

(NO, I do not work for Abe/Exhale, I don't get any kind of a kickback, he's just one of my favorite vendors and I like sharing a sweet deal when I can.

Wish he'd list the #20 and I'd place an order...
Actually I think I might as well go place it at VaporTek. Since I can't order a Dingo or Roller, I might as well see how the clone performs for less than $45 shipped.

Hmm, no box mod or bottom feeder? Don't put that wallet away yet.
I actually took apart a lavatube v1 and made my own box mod but am not too impressed lol. I don't think I really care for the bottom feeders.
Abe over at Exhale is hinting that the #20 could be right around the corner too. I'm holding off for a bit to see what happens. If he puts them up at $26-28 like the others I'm going to jump on one in a heart beat!

See now I'm going to wait. I'm suspect of the top button design on these. They're not easy to get right, which is why not many mods offer a top switch. The insulation has to be well done, and the switch doesn't look like it's set up to lock in the pics (........ has a pic of the switch disassembled with the split top post). Also looks like a good source for a big voltage drop.
Also no way to "mod" out the the bottom plate spring. which is what did the most damage to my number 8s' voltage drop.
Does anyone know if the inside diameter is to big for a Kick on the #19?

Well, after 5-hrs. of vaping here's my take...
What an amazing device !
Vape like a connoisseur. Good throat-hit, nice flavor, gigantic vapor and what a good looking APV to hold in ur hands. This one's a HIT from Sigelei, probably as good as the original (whatever it's name was). With this Mod with u I don't think u could ask for anything better.
Tell me about build quality, or QC issues from China. The Sigelei #8 that I received is flawless. Period. The machining is superb, every detail is taken care of. The satin body finish is spick & span. Not a single blemish or scar I could detect, whereas I had read online that the #8 is marred of finishing (sic!). The end caps (top & bottom) r flush-fit, the same dia as the body. I believe the first models weren't, had a slight larger size, but not this one. This is exactly one smooth size all along, bottom to top. And both being chromed - man what workmanship! - in contrast to the satin body - it's by far the best dual-tone equipment I've seen... the last I admired in this class was my FJ Cruizer!
It weighs a ton... literally! The thing is pretty heavy... rock solid. With this in my pockets - I don't've to worry being mugged in Madagascar, LOL. U can drop it from Kilimanjaro and I bet it'd not get a dent! Neither would it's sections be de-threaded. PBusardo was right, Buttery, eh? Both the end-caps, as well as the extension tube, really screws to one another super smooth. No creaking, no cranking, it's machining par excellence. And once fit - they become one unit. It takes efforts to find the seams... that good a fit it is!
Uh, the firing pin. Another feather in their cap. It's a soft push... needs minimal efforts, and it fires everytime. Everytime I pressed it - it gave me a good vape. And the mechanism is sturdy as well. Flushed button housing, just right the size, the locking ring is well made - very finger friendly - and the diamond cuts on it does make it shine - just like a De Beers Platinum on Madonna's finger. The thing is both aesthetically beautiful, as well as operationally pleasing.
The vent holes at the bottom and the four airway slits on top r prudently pierced. I know there's nothing much to discuss on it, just that they r functional - is good enough to state... but what if they r laser incisions? What if those add to the beauty of the device? Ya right? That's correct folks... they r designed, placed, cut to such precision that it deserves mention. Together they offer intrinsic exquisiteness to the #8... it makes u feel that the device was well thought off. Has passed thru some good work-hands. It makes me feel that I indeed hold a piece of art here.
BOTTOMLINE: Should I've gone into such details over a Mech. Mod offered by the Chinese Assembly Line? Yes, I should. This device is a design marvel. Created flawlessly every inch of it. Works like a charm. Feels good to hold. Has a classy touch to it all around. Would thus, be a head-turner when out & about. AND it gives me a very satisfying vape. Yes, I don't yet have the Aga-T2 or the RSST (in the pipeline though), with either of them - this Mod would be a killer beau & a workhorse! Which is why I'd recommend it anyday to a fellow vaper.
The only gripe I have is that they could have added their logo. What about all those Caravellas, Chi Yous, GGTS, Poldiacs et all sporting theirs. Just like the eGo - this is a class by itself. And I wouldn't mind flaunting the Sigelei logo over it. It is cheap, right... but given it's workmanship - I'd guess those Super-Ts, Paps, Rollers etc. r overpriced!

Great writeup qorax! Thanks for sharing it! It makes me even more excited to finally get my #8, which will hopefully be here by this Saturday.
I *agree* with you about the logo. I've been pondering how to remedy that myself. I have a friend who does metal work including etching... Hmmm... Abe (from Exhale) said someone suggested their logo should be a seagull maybe, because, as I've been told, the company name is actually pronounced "see-gull-EYE", or something like that

The story goes that that is how their (Chinese) representatives pronounce it... with the emphasis on the "EYE" at the end... I haven't actually spoken to one of their reps to find out for myself yet so don't quote me on it

Yep. I'm thinking just the same... to hit at the nearest etching/engraving shop and get their (Sigelei's) logo done all by myself.
