Sigelei Mechnical Mods

[Akya2120]

19 and 20 in 18350 mode. Only problem is I can't get the 19 to fire with the 350 now that it is modded(the magnets gave it the length to make contact in 350 mode). That could be fixed by shortening the telescopic tube but I rarely use 350s so I won't be doing that. Honestly I think the 19 vapes harder than the twenty once the battery magnets are removed. I like it quite a bit. Not sure if I am a huge fan of the bottom button but I really do like the vape. I think it will grow on me.

See todds video, replace the 510 pin with a brass bolt, then 18350 will fit

Also the spring in the 19 is only for the button return... It doesn't do anything else otherwise. No need for a hot spring in it.

Truth, I just used the original brass post by sanding down the insulator that held the magnet, which makes OAL shorter. All in all, I am very pleased .

The longer bolt in the top so the 18350's will fit properly

I'm redoing my switch again. I don't care what Whitt77 says

After having owned my #19 for about 2 weeks, today I fiiiiiiiiinally got round to trying a Silver Bullet hotspring in the switch which I've had for months in my bits box. I had to cut off about 1 inch off the bottom of the spring to make it all work smoothly and oh my god I wish I'd been bothered to try it a hell of a lot earlier, it now fires every single time no matter where I press the button, it hits harder too. I'd messed about with washers and o rings none of which really made a difference. Its a shame sigelei didn't fit a decent spring to start with, in fact springs seem to be an issue all round with Sigelei mods, easily fixed by the consumer but we shouldn't have to.

I have done no other mods to it but I do have some M4 flat head screws on the way to replace the top magnet and little screw with, there is no real need to do that imo but I'm still going to do it as I've ordered them now lol.

I also intend to polish the top cap, switch and the center tube but I've got to be bothered to go out and buy the bits needed so it may be some time before it gets done lol.

If that were the case then replacing it or adding the no-res wire to the stock spring wouldn't make a difference, surely?

I spite all of you all (psst nice pic BTW)

If it makes you feel any better I am left to assume I'm the .1% of the claimed 99.9% of those who ordered on 4/17 with code 7319 from exhale that have not received shipping info. I say assume as I have sent a couple emails asking for a status update and received no response. Fun stuff

 

[Akya2120]

I guess I was wrong about the spring, I can see how it would increase conductivity. My 19 shipped out and I didn't get an update that it was going to be here until this morning LOL, thanks USPS... Great job. Oh well, at least it made it here .

Not really I'm selfish

Maybe you will end up with someone else's????? I checked exhales FB page and I'm not the only one with tracking showing their 19 going the opposite way. Someone from GA had their 19 go from TX to CA so far. So this ought to be interesting.

A question to anyone who has gotten their #19 from Exhale. I'm still waiting for mine, tomorrow I hope. Supposedly the misfire problem has been "fixed" in this new batch. Has anyone noticed anything that is different with these new #19s from exhale? Any changes with the magnets, spring, switch, ect?

 

[crxess]

Went to Fasttech for my springs. Figure I'd give them a try as they are gold plated heavy Flashlight springs. $.67ea Added a $3 DCT so I didn't feel so cheap.

Still looks the same to me, or am I missing something.

Got mine today and from what I can tell its the same thing, no changes.

Took me all of 20 minutes to get into good shape. Removed top magnet, ground down top delrin so I could use original pin. added an oring to adjust throw and used a thin uncoiled spring instead of NR wire.

Gonna get some copper plate for the switch contact and a new spring tomorrow

@ home, opened my #20 replace hot spring. put an aga t on.. WOW!!!!!!!! liking this sig#

 

[michliu]

Just received my #19 and the switch is the same as Todd's video, incuding all the magnets in the wrong place. All I've done so far is add a Term mouthpiece O-ring to decrease the throw. Maybe they've changed the spring, but I get no misfires, with or without the decreased throw. Haven't worked on anything else yet, but I may just leave it as is. I don't notice a huge voltage drop compared to the #8 or the China GG, but I'm still on a full 18350. I'll probably know in 20 minutes when the battery runs down!
