Sigelei Mechnical Mods

[WinchellNomNom]

Thought some of you might find this interesting.

The same battery was used unless noted, the same RSST 0.7ohm 0.8mm ribbon kanthal was used on all test, the list in the order as tested. Volts are under load, read from the positive post and negative screw.

Battery is a high drain AW IMR 18650.
Sig 19 is stock, with both magnets in mod, only my fix for the bottom.
Sig 20 is stock except for swapping in a hot spring. (Looks like I need to look at this guy and see what is going on)
CCTS is stock, haven't changed or sanded a thing.

Sig 20 - 3.25v
Sig 19 - 3.5v (both magnets in place, just my other fix)
CCTS - 3.45v
Sig 20 - 3.25v (wondered if I misread the first time)
DNA20 - 3.9v (full MNKE 26650)
DNA20 - 3.9v (the same 18650 used in previous tests)

I can't wait to hook up the 6k 65c nano with a dna

Interesting results. Im glad I went with lipo instead of 18650's for my DNA20D mod per your recommendation. 2 900mah 15c lipo's in parallel are giving me 4.1v with an 8ohm coil at the 20w setting.

Can't wait to see if the 65c will produce better results.

If that's true then it means that they haven't even been shipped from China yet and anyone who pre-ordered a #19 won't get their's for at least another 2-3 weeks. Otherwise Abe would have told you that he couldn't check into it because they have already been shipped.

I just asked Abe from Exhale if he could get those instead of the regular 19 that the second batch is still waiting for and he said he would check into it but doesn't want to complicate things. I think everyone would be fine with getting the 19B instead but I guess I shouldn't speak for everyone.

Does it say anywhere if they ditched the magnets? Please Lord I hope so...

I won a Sigelei #3 last night while watching and chatting on Kaffinekid's show on Novabroadcasting...he threw in a Bully RBA modded by the vendor to be a dripper. I thought that was a nice thing to do. The sponsor giving it away was Venerable Vaping. Just waiting for it to ship. I dont know much about mechs (this will be my first), or dripping, or RBA's. Time to learn I suppose...

Any of you guys got any info on the fusion SG-1 yet

Sorry nope...but I like the concept and think it will be popular.

While it does look simple and I have heard some grumbling on the price, I don't think its overpriced all. IIRC the thread pitch is 21.5mm x 1.0, not a standard size (that I'm familiar with anyway). I can say I wouldn't make them for $30, but I'm not a CNC machine shop either.

I just wish the 19 was 22mm OD, I was hoping to be able to turn it down to 22mm, but with the threads they used it didn't leave room

I picked one up and none have shipped yet. He is more or less gauging interest with this run. I'm expecting to see a price drop in the future.

That's what I was guessing too, not that it's a bad price at all. Just feels weird slapping a $30 little adapter on a $20 mod.

Oh no thats not good, if he can work on price and get it down abit, I see it being popular, but would need to be around the $15-$20 mark, I appreciate small runs of components etc is not cheap

Yeah and it is alumi. so you will need to be careful threading it. however its more conductive than SS. So This batch didnt really fly off the shelf, and I think its because everyone is having the same "$30 gizmo on a $20 mod" thought. I just couldnt resist the look of the rsst and #19

If you think about it, you could cut the threaded part off the top cap and make your own adapter. I would attempt if I could get a spare top cap. But I am like everyone else. I can't justify spending as much for an aluminum adapter as I did for the whole mod.

Yup, just cut/grind the top cap right down to the threads and you're 90% of the way there.

No threads on ecf yet, that I know of.

Is there a thread for the SG 1

For me the price for the original 19/other goes out the window if you can get it feeling and performing well....but not the 23mm vs 22mm OD's

Makes sence, so the + on the510 touches the battery, or not far off

Yea, basically you just have the threaded part of the top cap with the 510 hole and the pos pin from the RBA or whatever touches the pos pin on the battery.

Actually I still have a bottom cap that I can try this with. I will see what I can do. But here is a pic that kinda shows what I mean. Just imagine the smooth part of the cap below the threads gone.

Also, for anyone interested to know, the bottom cap from the #8 and #13 fits the #20. I am using it with out a spring and it seems to be hitting harder now.

Edit: I just did a voltage check and I am getting 3.32 with both bottom caps and I am still using the same hot spring that came with the #20. The battery is at 4.02 volts.
