I love the flavor of the orchid over the nautilus. Just keep in mind you build your coils on the orchid. Also, some juice that I like on the nautilus (Space Jam pluto) I can't vape on the orchid. on the nautilus it tasted like watermelon jolly rancher. On the orchid, I could taste a lot more including some minty menthol flavors I am not a fan of. As for the orchid vs the kayfun, I like the orchid for vapor. For flavor I like the orchid but to me the difference is negligible.

I got mine from westcoastvapesupply on ebay. Took a week but everything was fine. I got the V2, can't comment on V3.

$25

Edit: also, these guys stand behind their stuff. I ordered a plume veil clone from them, and the threading was bad. I asked for a new deck and they sent me a plume veil 1.5 clone and told me to keep what I had.

They have very nice customer service. Shipping took a week, but I was ok since I got a second $25 plume veil from a local brick and mortar. The B&M plume veil was garbage, but after the trips back to replace the 3 separate parts, it worked. Now I have my experimental PV and my safety PV.

How do you like the V4? Is it much different than the V2?
Holds more juice and has bottom fill capability. Beyond that, it performs the same. I am ordering a full size M-Tank and top cap from Science Of Vaping for it. That will drop the overall height by approx 6mm. If you want, I can photo the two side by side.

Thanks , for the info all y'all ! I got my Sigelei 100w a few days ago ,LOVE IT, and have been reading a lot on the usage of Watts vs Voltage and experimenting with different builds. I've got to say that building higher ohm/30-32ga coils for a dual battery/variable wattage device has proved out for me for a full thick big cloud, flavor , and MAJOR battery life ! I had a very hard time believing it until I read so much then, tried it. I normally vape on a mech/dripper in the neighborhood of .19- .35 .so, the first thing I did was slap a low ohm build onto my Sigelei and LOVED it. Buuuuuut, I saw the battery life on it get slurpededed down like Jello Shots! I had heard reviewers talk about insane battery life but, I wasn't impressed. My 2x Samsung 20Rs are not as Mah-y as the 25Rs but 4000 mahs aint tiny. So I built a duals, 2mm/ 30 ga / to 1.8 ohms. At 35 watts hose things hit even bigger and thicker than what I run on a mech and dripper! Not as HOT though. Unfortunately, the device was running at full voltage and still sucking it down, of course. So I shot for a 1.4 ohm /30 ga /single coil and put it in my old drilled out octopus for giggles . It's reading at 1.5 ohms and 24Watts/6 volts and delivering a quick/thick/ tasty vape and seems not to be sucking the batteries down like crazy. Its hard to switch my thinking over from having used mechs for so long but, after reading this article , it does make sense to me for my high wattage device. Its VERY well written and an enjoyable, easy read. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-vaping-discussion/611315-my-thoughts-about-sub-ohm-latest-vv-vw-devices.html
I am , by no means preaching or disputing your experiences. Just offering up mine , so far. I'm still looking for the perfect sweet spot on my Sigelei 100W myself but, thought this could be helpful to someone.
Here's a quick shot of mine performing with those 30 ga duals, at 1.8.

I usually don't go over .5 ohms and I usually get 1-1.5 days on mine and I vape quite a lot. I would check into your battery time a bit more, could be a bug or some bad batteries.

Hmmm. At .3 I was seeing my battery go down SO stinking fast, for two batts. A few hours is what I was getting. I have two sets of batteries, probably from the same batch though. Thanks , for the info.I'll definitely take it into account while I figure this out. Did ya have a look at the article?

Looked at the article, sorry but tl/dr :oops:
I've said it before, literacy hurts. But those were some nice clouds off the 30 gauge. The smallest I have is 28 but since I started using 24 I love it. The warm vape is addictive for me.

I vape between 50-75 on .25-.5 and it usually lasts me about 10 hours of about 3 puffs every few minutes. But with the lower ohms, I only take 1-2 second hits. Need a better drip tip that stays cooler.

A single coil 2.4dia 24g at .7 at 20 watts gives me all day life on my 25r's people tend to forget that the amp drain on the battery is what drains them not what amps the chip is putting out. 20 watts at the battery is 2.51amps NO MATTER THE BUILD( the chip does its magic) set at 20w when the battery has 8.4v. Some one else can explain this better. Simply 8.4v is locked in the ohms law calc put in your amp setting that will show the amps.

Interesting... Do you know the airflow? I found I like dual 2mm or larger for most of my vapes.

<<< Still in the classroom :p Thanks OB and DRE. I agree OB, I'm STILL trying to wrap my noodle around it all, until that "PING" happens in there. I AM back to my sub ohm coils, for the warmth that I love. That is actually helpful, DRE. Thank you ;) I think, I missed that the article is emphasizing cloud production. Not necessarily the optimal settings for clouds/warmth/flavor/battery life. I may be missing the extra 600 mah per battery from VTC 5s a bit much too, as opposed to these Samsung 20Rs.

Would be awesome if JWraps let you order custom graphics. Upload graphics, they print it out. I'd pay extra for that. Want my Diablo/LoL/Dr Who/Family Crest graphics.

I guess they do, I'll be checking these guys out tonight.

they used to let you do that.. but I believe they had to stop due to copyright issues

?? For all who got their Sigelei 100watt Box Mods... Are they V1's or V2's ??? V1's we're ONLY meant for review & NEVER meant for the public... V2's we're fixes of v1 problems, and considered for public ;)

I ran into my first issue with this Yesterday. The fire button appears to be threaded into a ring on the inside of the case similar to a nut. It got unscrewed and the ring is not fastened to the case so I can't get it back on. I can still fire by pressing the chips button, but it is frustrating. Will make a warranty claim before taking the whole thing apart and probably voiding the warranty.

Late to this party but I do have the Siggy 100 on the way to me.

How well do the magnets hold the cover on? I would rather not mess with screws unless I have to!

The magnets hold it very very well. I would remove the screws if I was not OCD about the screw holes.

Cut the screws at the head and leave very little shaft. Lol the magnets will hold them in I swear I been running it like this for weeks has not fell out.

Thanks for the info! Soon after I get it, I am planning on getting a Jwrap for it. As far as the screw holes are concerned, I have looked at the pics of the device ad nauseum and I am pretty sure that contaminates cannot enter the device. And the wraps from what I hear cover the holes anyway.

Screws are pretty tough least that would work is wire cutters I used dikes (spelling?)

I know it will do 100w, but 50w is too much for me... :cool:

Been using the Siggy 100 for a solid 24 hours now and nothing else. Every atty I've put on it has been .2 or .3 ohms and I still have 51% battery left. I got to play with an IPV3 next to it yesterday. I like the form factor of the IPV a little more but the magnets more than make up for it. I have only been pushing is around 50-60w as my all day juice burns pretty easily on dual coils but I have been able to push one juice to the full 100w without it breaking down. All in all, my first day impressions of this device are spectacular. I'll probably still pick up an IPV down the road but that's just to have two devices pushing the same power and maintaining some semblance of variety.

Got my Sig 100 in the mail Monday and so far it's amazing. Mine came with the carbon black stickers for the sides and they cover up the screw holes. No need for extra magnets. The single at top and bottom hold strong.

I ordered mine this last Sunday late afternoon/evening.

It showed up in the mail today. I popped in pair of VCT 5s and I have been digging on it ever since.

The screws were not installed but plenty of them as well as extra copper pins came with it.

The fit of the back cover is so good and the magnets are great so I will not even bother installing the screws.

I have been vaping for 3-1/2 hours now and the indicator is still showing at 100%

Sadly I have a sore throat so I have it turned way down but still loving it.

Has anyone thought about beveling the edges like the P4U 150w ??? I am thinking about it, but not on a mod that isn't but a few days old... LOL

The only modifications I will be making is to get a Jwrap for the sucker.

The edges could use some beveling but I can easily live without it.

Update on my Sig 100:
Just noticed a blemish over my data screen window and thought...crap, done busted my screen!
But after closer inspection I find it's small piece of transparent screen protector film for shipping.
Peeled it off and voilà! Beautiful crystal clear screen.

Has anyone else noticed that the battery percentage guage goes nuts when trying to figure out (example) if your battery is 99% or 100% when it is on the edge before it picks one (a few moments after your last vape) before it decides one way or the other and just stays there until after your next vape?

And yes, I have noticed the bit of plastic on the screen. I normally just wait until those start to come off on their own before removing them.
