Sigelei Mini Book Kit

I don't loosen mine...just noticed that it "seemed" to make a small difference. I haven't taken it apart to see if there is a connection to the 510 pin, so I may be full of crap. Try loosening it a turn and see if it helps.

I use flat-tops (even the re-wrap "Sigelei"). I put the + end first, just slightly, and then straighten it and push. It seems to be easier if you remove the atty first. The main thing seems to be getting the metal center of the + end slightly under the spring contact before you try to get the - side going. Forget about button-tops...don't see it happening.

Thx very much for the tip -- I just tried it with the atty off, since I had to dry-burn anyway, so I put the atty on a different mod. But without the atty on the miniBook, it was MUCH easier to get the battery to slide in without brute force; I still had to push it a little, but not so hard that it snapped down forcefully.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hug:

I'm actually on the hunt for the red and blue XTanks if you happen to see them anywhere sold individually.
Hi Pami- I went everywhere online searching for a white X tank, even ebay with no luck, I don't remember seeing other colors like red or blue either. Looks like just the silver x tank for sale.Some places did carry the Playboy Vixen tank which is very similar in colors other than silver. Not sure if any are close enough to the Mini book colors? I guess just keep watching ebay, or maybe an ad asking if someone has a blue or red Xtank they are not using?

Do you have any advice for how to get the batteries in without having to resort to brute force and nicking the wrapper?

Andria
Hi Andria- I know what you mean- that battery is a bear to put in! I watched a couple reviewers, lay the book open, line up the battery on top and just push straight in. Still very tight for me, ugh I gave up so I charge with the charge port, it is not ideal, I would rather charge with my battery charger, but like you I don't want to ruin the battery wrap and very hard to get the battery in. I am using the Sigelei battery that came with my kit, have not tried my Samsung 18650 in it, maybe an easier fit?

Batteries are the same size; I've used both 25R's and LG HE2's. But it's MUCH easier to do with the atty off the mod; just slight pressure needed, rather than brute force, so it doesn't bang the battery in so hard that it damages the wrapper.

I remember a review somewhere that the X Tank IS the Playboy with some cosmetic changes. So if you find a Playboy in the right color, it should give identical performance.

Pami- I just ordered this from kanVape.com they have the whole entire Sigelei Book kit in their clearance section $48.00- says in the description that the tank matches the body color! kanVape had a 50% coupon on the 4th of July for clearance items so this whole kit cost $24.00 and free shipping too! The only colors they have left are Black, Blue and White! They have many sales on clearance looking at their facebook page, like every few weeks.
Tanks alone are over $15.00 so a great way to get a blue tank- get another battery, 2 more coils, and the mod for $10.00 more. Fast ship too-
I was so bummed that my recent White Sigelei Book Kit from another vendor- shows the white tank on site, but my kit contained the silver tank.
I am hoping that my next White kit form kanVape has the white tank as stated in their ad! I have not received the kit from kanVape yet!

Just keep an eye out on their facebook page for coupons and sales!
I will report back as soon as my White kit arrives!

Yes- my White Mini Book came today from kanVape.com and the tank is White- Yipee! Glad I saw the ad here on VU and took a chance! Now I can do the happy dance! I put the silver XTank from the other white mini book on my new Sigelei 75w Oni and looks and works great! Now I will have a spare white 40w too.
