Hi people, I currently feel like a kid in a candy shop.

My Sigelei 150 arrived with a pair of VTC4's and samsung 25R's, the VTC4's are currently charging.

I will update this thread with some pictures and a little review when I am charged up and have had a little play with it.

I think I am going to go for a 0.5 Ohm 26 gauge to start with, just to get an idea of it working. I can then make a 24 gauge build if I wish at lower resistance, or stick with that if I like it. I will make one pretty low build so I can quickly try full power just once, and I will be happy with that.

After I have done this, I will probably vape in the area of 50-80 watts max, although I need to use it first to actually get used to it.

I am slightly worried about my VTC4's. The shop listed them as US made, but I am pretty sure there is an almost invisible seam on the positive. I know that the fakes have this. The shop I used is reputable, but I am a bit worried in case it is fake, I have never received a fake from them before, but there is always a chance.

Obviously, as stupid as I think this is, the sony information was UNDER the sticker, as I have found with every single battery I have bought. Why do they put a sticker right over the information I want? Like the 25R's are the same, I have bought from 2 places, each time the white sticker that says INR18650 3.7V is ALWAYS over the samsung info, why is this? When I first vaped, I thought I had a fake 25R due to this.

I removed the sticker, then realised I was fine.

So, batteries been charging about 2 hours so far, as soon as they are fully charged I will us my new device.

Now is the time to build a dual coil set up for my el cabron. I have a Mutation X V4 on the way in black, as my current SS one is for my well, I don't know what she is. She was my fiancee, but yesterday something serious happened, and I ended it. She is willing to do anything to have me back, so I suggested therapy for both of us for 10 weeks as a last ditch effort to save us, as we have been together for 4 and a half years and the majority of the time has been the best times of both of our lives, so If we can save it together, we will, If not, I move on.

My batteries from liionwholesale have the stickers like that too, just to show that they've verified it and what the specs are, and a plus and minus symbol. Not sure about other vendors but I feel confident in their verification on the batteries I got from them.

I can understand the sticker, but why put it over the information that clarifies it is the battery it is meant to be lol? That makes no sense to me, you have to take the sticker off and move it somewhere else to get the information.

Therapy for not married? Fuck that dude, if you need therapy for dating.. that shit is fucking DOOMED.
Plus if it was serious enough for you to eject, then it will happen again she or you does not have enough respect for the other to continue.

OK for the build go basic.. not sure if I can recall the wire you have but if you have 26 do up a pair macros like 3 mm 4/5 wraps and call it good. It will rock your world.

Were not dating though, we are together everyday all day. We are engaged, but simply could not afford a wedding yet. We basically were married just without paper. Its anger management and similar for both of us, not marriage counselling lol.

On a different note, I will try that 2 macro coils, I will use the vape calculator to make sure. My biggest driver is 2MM, is that still macro? Micro is under 1.5 isnt it?

Dude 2mm is fine. basic duel coils is going to preform wonderfully for you, running a pair of 26 ga that runs .36 in a Baal or a .45 in a Dark Horse. I keep the wattage at 3.7-4.2 to keep the scorching down.

My god, that is insane, I will not be vaping at 150 watts, like, ever. I am runnin a 0.3 dual coil build in there, and it is best between 60-65 W for flavour, a little higher to produce more clouds, around 75. I did not know it would be this powerfull.

I am super impressed, running some vtc4's in it, but I dont need them as I am using max 80 for clouds, usually 60-65 for flavour. I will just stick to 25Rs for that.

I didn't like low buids. I now love it. This thing is super impressive.

I Need to re wick my lemo, I was using a 1.6 coil in it, but want to sub ohm with it. Not sure wether to use 26 or 24 gauge for it though? As its single coil, max I'l be pushing is like 35 watts, more likely 20-25.

Dude if you want even more flavor turn it down some more, think 3.7-4.2 volt range. On my 30ish build that is 45-50watts.

In the lemo try it with 26 ga.

Ahh I'm using the 150 now, I was thinking 30 watts max, as on a 1.6 I used 13.5 watts for best flavour. I found with dual coils, 60 watts is lovely. 150 watts is madness. I tried 120 earlier with a 0.2 build, and was met with an instant dry hit. I won't be doing that again. 100 watts is well enough, 150 is just insane. So, I don't even have to stress is and 60 watts is lovely for dual coil, single I think 30 max.

I will try 26 gauge, should I save the 24 for the RDA's?

LOL this will take you as far into the rabbit hole as you want to venture. As many coils and options as you can dream of that it will fire and you have the wire for.

My lemo works great around 32watts with a 0.5 coil. Still impressed. 71% battery left, thats the sonys though, the 25R's should last longer, especially if I am using a tanks at lower wattage and not RDA at 60-70.

With the flavor I got rolling now at 3mg on my .3ish coils is at 40 volts reading 3.9 watts.

Exactly what I want. Being able to experiment, I can fire really low resistance is I want, I am going to try some 24Gauge later about 0.15 see what thats like, need to try all different things to see how they work, taste, produce vapour. Its great, learning all again. Only thing is its slightly large for daily use, thats the only issue. I'm giving the 30 to my fiancee as its perfect for her, just have to make sure I have big pockets when I go out lol.

Well, I thought the lower the resistance, the more watts I could push. I put a 0.15 dual coil in my RDA, juiced up well, thought I will try 80 to begin with, and got an immediate dry hit. Even that low works best around 60 give or take a few. Who actually vapes at 100+ watts, apart from sadomasochists who enjoy burnt hits?

Haha Wish I could! Its fine to use like in my hand, I just mean for in the pocket. the Sig30 was like the perfect pocket size. Its not that much bigger really, the size of a smartphone I suppose, so I can carry it really. I want my mutation to hurry up as I do have the mutation X v4 Stainess, , but that is a present for someone that I tested to see if it worked. I ordered a black one, just gotta wait for it to come. I like the size of it though, and you can extend it with the chuff cap. I'm using the El Cabron at the moment, thats a beast.

Some coil set ups need it. Like when rolling parallels, quads, octos, triple strand parallels etc.
I go low and work up from there. for a .15 I set it to hit at 3,7 volts and then step up or down as needed.

Well, My shop has been reputable so far, but I am not sure on these sonys. They drained a lot faster than I expected, and there IS a seam across the top, almost invisible. I know the shop will just say they are genuine though, and they could be, I just have a feeling they are not genuine VTC4's.

I should of went for the LG's, same price and 3000mah.

Run 25rs in mine they're great 2500mah
That is what I am going to use in the future, as I tried vaping at 120 watts yesterday with the VTC4's. It was an instant dry hit.

I find I vape between 50-70 watts on it. It is just nice to know that extra power is there if I need it.

But the 25R's do the 50-70 easily, they are the batteries I used in my Sig30 ( I bought 4 of them) and know they are good. The VTC4's Seemed to drain very fast (I know they are lower capacity, but I mean a lot faster than I expected).

Just hope I didn't get shafted on the VTC4's. They did work at 150 watts though, but even an hour of vaping is taking the batteries to 75%, while with the 25R's the same use is about 95%.

Well you realize the 25r has 2500mah 's vs the vtc4 2100mah? Plus haven't been made for over 2 years​
