BAHAHA! Bro Sigelei TC is great! Get over it! DJ LSB is a fanboy
a fanboy of what exactly?
I also ran my tests (on the new one the plus not the original) and had similar results to his. so are you going to call me a fanboy as a result of you being wrong. is that really your defense that the best technical reviewer is a fanboy? I mean do you think he spends all that time to lie about his data? that's a joke you would even insinuate that

the problem is as a fellow reviewer (well actually 3 of us in the convo because @Deucesjack does reviews as well) The most important thing we can do is inform correctly. If we spout out nonsense that everyone knows is wrong you lose credibility and without credibility why would anyone watch a review? I surely wouldn't watch any reviews from someone who isn't credible.

It's fine for you to like sigelei and it's fine for you to say they last a long time. because they do, they are well built for sure. But the chips performance is very bad. I personally tested and reviewed the fuchai 213 plus and it performs like ass. There is no other way to say it. The numbers don't lie and they are also facts and not opinions. it's factual that the 213 performs poorly at high watts and in temp control mode. it's not open for debate, it's not an opinion. it's factual. I spent hours testing it and then recording my video to inform people as such. so for someone to come in who clearly hasn't done the proper testing to call me wrong just makes you sound really uninformed. And the worst part is because as a fellow reviewer, there is always the possibility we make a mistake. we are human after all. But we have to be able to learn from our mistakes. we owe it to our subscribers to be honest and reliable. If we make a mistake own it and learn from it. I'm more then willing to myself to make sure I provide the most accurate data. You are factually wrong in the scenario and the fact you defend it instead of listening and learning leads me to believe you are not a reliable reviewer. So after this thread my question is how can you expect people to take you seriously when you are saying a mod is great that most of the members here know already isn't?
With all due respect SRR. Don't put this guy in my category. My reviews are clear, accurate, and concise. If this guy wants to spread misinformation let him do it on his own not with me next to him. He's already made my pay no mind list.

Variety's the very spice of life, that gives it all it's flavour.

I thought they were kinda fugly, until I bought one.

Also, I've had 3 Aliens since early November, and aside from one with bad paint, they are all great. However, they have taken a backseat to the G2.

Your solid colored without the white emblem accents does look A LOT better. However, I see you have way bigger hands than I do and it still looks HUGE. For a size reference, I had to send my iPhone 7 plus back after a week because it strained my small hands trying go hold it and type on it. I don't mind a bigger mod that gets relegated to at home on the couch chilling use, but I don't want one that's so big it's painful to use and ends up collecting dust waiting to be sold either.

I agree. plus the slice is a nice looking pocket mod with the same TC ability.
I think for OP slice is the way to go

Have the battery door issues been solved yet with the slice? I've been reading up on them and that seemed to be a common complaint when they first came out

I assume the lack of replies over the last 10 minutes is due to the sudden rush of VU members to that site to get their SLICE of the pie...

So now that you have $70 left....

This one might cause a stir, but I think the eLeaf iPower is pretty cool.

I mean, a 5000mAh internal batt in a mod that small is pretty impressive, to me anyway. I know the pico is smaller, for sure. But I feel like the iPower is like, the pico's secret big brother... WITH a battery inside :).

Pico: 71 x 45 x 23mm
iPower: 83 x 50 x 24mm

Pretty close considering the ipower isn't necessarily meant to be a micro mod.

My hubby is gonna kill me....spent all my birthday money on 3 more mods when I already had 6 and (in his non-vaping mind) only need one lol. I'll have to wait a month or longer on the Battlestar, but the price along with free shipping from gearbest was just too good to pass up

I have a serious love for technological gadgetry lol. Phones, cameras, tablets, laptops, and most importantly MODS! That love of gadgetry is in all likelihood why I successfully swapped from cigarettes to vaping, even when Blu's were the biggest and greatest new thing because despite the poor performance and satisfaction early adopters saw back in the day, the cool gadget factor was enough to keep me searching for the next coolest gadget to vape with lol. And to this day, I probably use my mods and my iPhone the most out of all my gadgety-type things I have lol

Girl, you are reading my mind today. I woulda gotten the Eleaf in bronze too, if I had one :).

Yes, I recommended a mod I don't have, but I got my hands on one extensively at a local shop this week... $40 there, which is not bad for brick and mortar. it's REALLY nice, you'll like it!

PS: My wife rolls her eyes at how much vape crap i have, including DIY supplies now, lol.

I still haven't got round to getting a G2 or a slice- I am in the UK and they don't seem as popular here. I do want to get one though as I hear really good things about them on here.

I actually don't mind the looks of the G2, I like my older box mods and it just reminds me of one of those, and if it performs really well that is the main thing to me.

So after this thread my question is how can you expect people to take you seriously when you are saying a mod is great that most of the members here know already isn't?
I have quite a lot of mods I have built up over the past few years (40+), and I feel Sigelei kind of fell drastically when they stopped using Yihi boards.

I remember getting the Sigelei 75, looking forward too it as I really liked its style, only for the battery life to be awful! It honestly can't even fire at full power, and I would say it is only good for up to 30W, and even then I get low battery messages VERY quickly. This put me off of Sigelei a lot.

I love my OG 150, and 150TC with the Yihi SX330 boards, but Sigelei's own boards? Not good. I do have a Sigelei 30W mini too, I loved that as it was my first 'real' mod, but the threads have stripped on the 510 unfortunately. That was a great mod though, just a shame about the build quality.

We'll just agree to disagree... I LOVE my alien coming up on 3 months and it is the best mod I've ever owned. :vino:
Same here. I have beat the crap out of my Alien for almost 2 months and it works great and the paint is still great. Almost 10,000 puffs and working as new. Still using the original 1.2.1 firmware though and I have no plans to bugger with that.

Of course if it does die at any point, I will likely pull a 180 and start posting what a piece of shit it is. :D

If I just got lucky, yay me. :)

My brand-new Alien died the other day after less than two days of normal use. By died I mean DEAD. I have no clue what happened.

Still, I liked it when it worked so I bought another one which should be arriving Thursday.

Also, I was just now reminded to call Smok and ask for help with the dead Alien.

Thanks for the reminder!

So! Madvapes said that, since the unit is defective, I can send my Alien in for replacement. Which is great!

Unfortunately - they will be out of replacement Aliens until mid-March. :sad:

Good thing I purchased a second Alien the other day! Should be arriving on Thursday.

dam. aliens can't stay in stock anywhere. smok must be making a killing on them. funny enough though wismec and joyetech always have the top selling spots for some reason

You know I'm just kidding bro. The copper one is actually really nice looking.
LMAO
probably. Can't understand why millions of people will buy an RX2/3 but nobody buys a battlestar even though it's solid as fuck, performs better, and holds it finish. plus the copper one appears to be bare metal so no paint to ever chip. Battlestar and maxo are my next 2 reviews going up after my navigator BX which will be up tomorrow. I plan to record the battlestar and maxo reviews sometime this week. then the EXo RTA, then probably the TFV12 and ijoy EXo XL. fuck I'm so far behind
