These seem like a just released item and when I looked I couldn't find any reviews on them. So while this isn't going to be a complete long term user review I will try to give out some facts about the device for those considering this purchase. I may give a more complete review later on and will hope Busuardo does a review.
Price- I got mine at vapor alley for about $80. I've seen a deal on vapor joes though for $67. Don't know if it is still good but check there first. Even at $80, I feel the device is worth it- see below.
Size- You can read the site for the dimensions etc., but I'm here to tell you that for a box mod I feel this thing is huge. I've got a vv gripper and an iTaste MVP. It dwarfs both. It's about the size of a flask you might sneak into a college football game. It's also fairly heavy. They claim it's made of stainless steel and from the weight, I don't doubt it. Once the batteries are in the thing it's pretty weighty. It's the heaviest device I own. For those of you wanting a pocketable device, this might not be for you. I figure I have pretty average size hands for a guy and it's a decent fit in mine. If you are say a woman with small hands, it might not be a good fit.
Batteries- It's designed to work with an 18650 or an 18350. There are two battery compartments here for the respective battery sizes. How it works is, only one of the caps is spring-loaded so you can just switch the caps to use the other battery. The concept of spare battery on-board storage is a neat feature. Vapor Alley advised getting flat top batteries. I did buy a few 18350s from them and the device works well with them, but I also had some 18650 with a button top (Tenergy 2200s) that fit and worked as well. One thing I don't like about this facet of the device is that the end caps, while chrome in color appear to be plastic with a coating. This creates a weak point in vital function area of the device. I also had a bit of trouble getting them to thread in properly. If you get one, go slow and maybe use some noalox or vaseline.
510 and Ego Connection- It has both. Putting a stardust type clearo in sort of countersinks it a bit for a nice look. There's also a fairly large overflow reservoir in there for you sloppy drippers. I haven't needed to clean that out yet but it seems fairly easy to q tip liquids up.
Sigeli Menu- The lcd interface is nice. It has 8 menu options and I won't list them all here but there are also some sub menus. This is where you change voltage or wattage, figure out battery charge etc. I have never owned a Sigeli device before some I'm a bit unfamiliar with how it all works. Some playing around allowed me to change the voltage but I need to look into this further. It doesn't come with any kind of instruction manual so if anyone reading this has a link to it, I'd appreciate you hooking up a vape brother. There's one feature that is noticeably absent (or maybe I just haven't found it yet) but that is I couldn't find and onboard ohm meter.
Finish and looks-I ordered the dark blue color. It does have a certain bling factor to it. The finish is not rubberized like say an ego or the VV gripper. And while it is a shiny type blue color it isn't a fingerprint magnet. It's more like a brushed finish. Overall, I'd say it looks pretty classy but then again my wife says it looks absurd. Eye of the beholder I guess but if you take it to say a bar, it's going to be a conversation starter for sure.
Performance- It's a VV/VW device. I didn't take a meter out or anything and do any checking of the output, but it fired everything pretty nicely and in the way I might expect. I tried about 6 different delivery systems on it and it seems to work pretty well.
Pros/Cons- On the pro side I'd say, for the money the overall build quality is high (except the plastic end caps), it has a nice lcd interface and appears to have all the current bells and whistels one would expect in an APV these days, I think it looks really neat, it has on-board spare battery storage, vapes well and offers some flexibility in battery type. On the con side, it's almost too heavy, isn't really pocketable and then there are those end caps.
Conclusion- For the money, it's a good value especially if you can get it for 67$.
