Sigelei Mechnical Mods

LOL, You guys crack me up
I don't know about everyone else, but the button on my #20 spins all the time. The unlocked position seems to be very specific, whereas the default seems to be a locked button. It's frustrating...grrrr

Mines fine, must just be down to how one presses it, just remove the button and shave off the plastic rim, but then it won't lock of course, or do what a guy over at ukv is doing and order a roller switch and button hehe

I was tempted....but without having a roller it would be hard to tell the subtle differences. But if there is thread or something link it up or PM it to me.

Will do buddy, what you have to remember is the roller-dingo also has a fully adjustable center pin which is all part of the button assembly and also atmizoo do the flush fit 510 that also fits the #20

The holes are in the top to align / true the plastic housing within the top. If it is slightly off the portion of the switch that comes out will be a bugger to remove again. Don't ask how I know...

O/T:

I once phoned up the manufacturer of my DVD recorder to ask them what buttons you need to push and in what sequence, to switch it back to SCART output.

Confused engineer: "There are no manufacturer reset codes for this model."

Me: "I'm not asking for a reset code. I'm asking which buttons I have to push to navigate through the menu blind to switch it back to SCART. Because I've switched it to something else and now it won't send a picture to my TV, so I can't operate the menu."

Engineer: "Hold on, I'm just going to put you on hold."

I'm setting on the atmizoo website looking at my cart with a switch assembly, button, rhodium spring, and flush mount ring, and it didn't look that bad....but the switch housing keeps jumping in and out of my cart.....what to do???? Because with the housing it is awful close to a new one (if and when I can luck into that) and I would still have to make the rest. TBD

Me too but that shipping. Not sure I can swing it.

Yeah it is bad....I will probably keep my eye on the classifieds and new stock and just see what I can't come up with the 20

I noalox'd the hell out of every thread, changed the spring and been vaping the bejeebers out of my #20 today with an AGA-T.... works great....

So, how the hell are the rest of you obsessive compulsives doing this evening...

 

[crss]

#20 enroute, good to see some people working on this prior to my large hands taking the switch apart. I have a few hot springs in tool box. sub to this thread. TY for the info

#20

Right out of the box, I got 2.2-2.3v under load readings (28awg 0.6ohm, this very RBA/build measured very well on KTS gold/chrome)
After swapped out the spring with a madvapes Silver coiled spring, sanded/cleaned 510 seat, post and battery contact, got much better measures, but still not close to the gold/chrome.

I shined a micro LED flashlight through the holes on the head, the copper/brass spring and rods look clean and make firm contact with button pressed. I wonder taking it apart would help much...

Vape is nice but rather smooth on the full charge. For me, 5ohm on 28awg might work better.

+1 KTS gold/chrome but i want my #20 in my hands, it is 2 days away.

 

[in4mati0n11]

cool! have a KTS on the way too.... and its better than the #20??? hehehehehehee

This kinda reminds me of the old seat of the pants .... dyno-testing I used to do with my Harley...

I'm vaping this #20 happily.... Therefore I refuse to break out my multi-meter.

I just got an email from Andy De Luca letting me know which Sigelei Mods are in stock now and which are coming in soon. I had asked to be notified when they came back in stock.

But, I don't remember what the website was! Does anyone know what website sends email notifications from Andy De Luca?

He's from Venerable Vaping. I haven't ordered from the site, but they just posted up the #3, 8, 9, 13a, 19, 30 in stock. All $28.99 or less.

I hate to be a pest. I'm not a modder so don't really belong on this thread. But, I want the opinion of the experts here.

Of all the Sigelei mechanical mods, which would be the best for someone that absolutely is not a modder. I can buy a new hot spring. That much I can do. Based on looks, I like the #8, #9, #19, and #20. But, I would be open to something else if it does the job well out of the box, minus a possible need for a hot spring. No sanding anything down. No taking anything apart.

I've been looking through this thread and having a hard time separating the advice for modders from the advice for non-modders. Any advice?

ETA: Or, would I be better off just saving up until Christmas for a Legacy?

I have a #8 works fine without any modding. works better if you just sand the contacts.
I also have copper wires attached to mine. Got 3.81 vdrop which is damn good for a china mod.
