So i'm upgrading, but I ONLY want to use this box mod for tanks atm, I will be putting on a Kanger Subtank OR Aspire Atlantis.

The reason for this specific mod, is because I might go into rebuildable coils and dripping later on in the year - still not ready for this challenge yet.

Can someone please give me some advice - especially to do with the box mod and using a tank.

How do I maintain this device?

Thanks again!!

Research on forums watch some reputable people on YouTube and take a bit of time to make sure you fully understand battery safety, ohms law and safe builds don't rush headlong into super low ohm builds. New istick 50w would allow you to break the process up a bit so you can get familiar with rba\rda's in a relatively safe way before going onto dual battery setups and high wattage devices.

Keep the silicon sleeve on it and it needs very little attention. The Sigelei boxes are no hassle, quality devices that dont need alot of care. Just keep juice from getting into.the circuitry and keep a fresh cycle of batteries around. Its a fantastic upgrade though, you wont be disappointed.

Batteries, I want to re-charge it via usb cable :(

What batteries do I need? I guess I can buy a wall charger for the batteries.

-- EDIT: 18650 Batteries is what I need, and I'll buy a charger thanks. Can you recommend a brand for these batteries?

Why I don't want to go into rebuildables :(

Can I not just use a tank, if so any you suggest?

EDIT- Think I might go with Aspire Atlantis - what you think?

What sort of tank do you or are looking to use I use lemos and I have a subtank for out and about also far as I know the sigelei 100w does not have USB charging. For the high wattage devices you need 20amp high drain batteries such as Samsung 25r or lg he series.

Hi I was looking at the kanger subtank or the Aspire Atlantis. But i just want a tank where I can buy the coils already and also just fill up juice. Which would you recommend? And I'll use samsung 25r :).

Ok for the Atlantis or subtank 100w's is overkill I'd recommend the new 50w istick your familiar with it and it has more then enough for what you want failing that the new sigelei 50w box mod or an ipv2s would suit you better then higher wattage devices :).

P.s don't know if you've decided where you'd buy from but in the UK myepack is a fantastic vender usually amongst the cheapest but customer service second to none or healthevape also very good customer service.

Ok so a few questions about sigelei 50w:
1. Do I still need batteries for this?
2. Which do you recommend Aspire Atlantis or Kanger Subtank?

Thanks.

Samsung 25r's are pretty much the best battery on the market right now for Sigelei's, least til VTC5's come around again...just make sure you label them both and number em 1&2 and each time you plop the batteries back in rotate which side you stick each one in, as most box mods have a dominant side that puts slightly more strain on that battery. I believe its the left side in Sigelei

Yeah youll still need batteries, and while everyones different Id personally recommend the atlantis. Also its cool if you wanna downgrade to the 50w just it uses one battery instead of 2, so.battery life is shortened. If you need good batteries check out Illumn, got samsung 25r's for 6$ and comes with a free case for orders of two at a time and about as reputable as a supplier can get.

I can't find sigelei 50w box mod anywhere!!

Can I not just buy the 100w box mod and use it at 15-25w? with the tank.

EDIT - I'm from the UK so I won't be purchasing from US vendors :(

For the sigelei you would need battery's Samsung's are fine for that it's what I use. Out of the two I prefer the subtank larger juice capacity so can go a whole day without refilling and the coils are just wire and organic cotton not the ceramic stuff aspire use in theirs I also found the subtank a bit sturdier then the Atlantis but might just be me.

Another aspect to this is size are you looking for anything specific the 100w is a larger box mod opposite end of the scale from the istick you've been using.

Yes really need a bigger box mod, my hands are quiet big for a female to be honest i have long fingers - if that makes sense.

Look forwards to this new device hope it lasts me a long while.

Can you please tell me if this is the right product for batteries: 2x SAMSUNG® INR IMR 18650 25R 2500mAh 20/35A LiMn 3.7v FLAT TOP BATTERIES UK NEW | eBay

And this is the right charger for the batteries: 1x 18650 lithium battery wall charger twin uk with adaptor vape vapourizer !UK! | eBay

THANKS AGAIN <3
