Sigelei 213 Fuchai Reg. Box Mod is my dream device.

[NickyGiaccone]

TC users, ignore this or maybe inform me about what the issues people have been having with this device are. VW Kanthal, Clapton, some SS coils, or other NON-TC coils such as those on a TFV4 or TFV8 just for example. TFV4 TF-T8 Octuplet .16ohm Clapton coil that runs up to approx.130W is best with this coil so far. The adjustable ramp up time is more useful to me than it is to most people. I actually raise it a little when using such high wattages but keep it as low as possible to quickly fire off targeted wattage levels like a TFV4 94W vaping of TF-T3 .2ohm (cooier and tastier cloud chaser coil, which is the first coil ever for TFV4 tanks around a year ago or even longer), TF-S6 .4 Octuplet coils at 88W, TF-Q4 new quadruple coils at 100W give or take. Getting 130W of high powered vapor blasting in your lungs isn't as good as it is with just the smallest increase in delay. Cool and smooth vapor coils under 100W is awesome with the lowest ramp up setting, oh hell yes. So that's the ramp up, or TCR, I think but am unsure, feature which is Sigelei 213 Fuchai's premier new exclusive feature. Menu isn't the easiest to navigate but it's minimalist appearance and form are refreshing in my opinion. Best purchase I've made for quick punch vaping and I've been waiting for some device to make vaping as fun as it was when I first started.

Gonna be a lot of disagreement to follow.

The issue with TC is it doesn't work properly. Every time you fire the mod in TC it rereads the resistance causing it to fire hotter and hotter with each successive press on the fire button if you are chain vaping. This can be dangerous if using Ni200 or Ti01. The other issues are it's a 150 watt device dressed up as a 213 watt device along with not being able to upgrade it. Surely you must have seen Daniels review on this mod. In my opinion, they are a shady company that released a faulty mod then followed that up with a second version even worse. Then the best they could do was threaten a reviewer that told the truth about it instead of recalling it or fixing it.

Cheers,
Steve

It's really a shame as its one of the best looking and ergonomically pleasing mods I'd ever owned. The new IPV6 looks to have a similar body type and it uses a yihi chip that actually works. I could have kept the 213 and used it for a straight wattage box as I have plenty of mods that so SS TC well. However, every time I looked at it, I'd get the feeling I was duped. I'm glad you like it, just don't go using Ti or Ni on it.

I have both the Fuchai 213 and the Sigelei 213. I vape in power mode only and with RDAs or RDTAs. My Limitless Plus is on the Sigelei 213 and my Twisted Messes on the Fuchai 213. I vape between 90-115 watts on both. The mod is very light and small. Ergonomically it works. It looks great. But what I really enjoy is the battery life and how fast it charges. Of my dual 18650s they are the best and I have the G200 chips in my Helve and Asmodus Minikin which they say last longer but do not.

I am old school mech user. I use regulated mods like mechs so for me these mods are just fine --- yep they don't vape as high as 200 watts and I don't vape that high either unless I'm using my Noisy Cricket or Lucifer. So Sigelei did LIE. I agree. I'll take any of the 213s you do not want IF you want to sell them cheap or trade cheap. They are my beaters.

I feel most mods are over hyped to be honest. The only mods I have that really perform as advertised are my HCigar DNAs. But hate all the bloody configuring on Escribe. And I use a Mac not Windows. I want to just hit the button and vape. I'm a Luddite. Are you going to tell that 3/4 of the mods out there do not pulse at higher watts? A dual battery 200 watt mod is a joke. Two 18650s are not meant to be vaped at 200 watts.

So let the OP enjoy his Sigelei. Just don't use TC NI or TI.

I agree with everything you said. I only use DNA200 mods and quite often take dual 18650 mods to task that claim 200 watts. My main mod these days is a Hcigar VT133. My post was just answering the OP's question:
"TC users, ignore this or maybe inform me about what the issues people have been having with this device are"

I have no malice towards any mod (certain companies on the other hand ). If you enjoy it and it keeps you from smoking, then imo it's a good mod for you period.

2 weeks into mine. Second the title in stating that for what i bought it for, a small form factor pure watt box, atm it's probably leaning towards the best $42 i ever spent on a piece of vaping gear. And i've bought a lot of stuff . Loving the look, vape, build quality, and form factor.

Between that and my recent tank upgrade to the Aromimizer Supreme 7ml, i'm sitting here a lot more happy and content with my vape purchases then i can ever remember.

I misused the term pulse. I meant instant INSTANT ramp up vaping. I didn't try going past 130W yet so I should've gotten the real Sigelei 213 not the Fuchai. It does have firmware updates however. The thing is my DNA 200 works well with my coils non-TC but I swap the tank right to any 18650 powered reg box mod and it tastes better, and I feel like the DNA 200 is killing my coil more quickly and also wasting eliquid although I finally got the settings appropriately configured for my tanks. The DNA chips are really made with TC in mind for pretty much the whole device functionality so I like owning sets of three LG HB4s, LG HG2s, LG HD2Cs (coming in mail wednesday), and eventually LG HB6 pinks. I'm gonna try a TF-T8 coil at 165W on the Fuchai 213 to see if it works. I hope they fix it in an update because I just got the Wismec Reuleaux RX200S, the Fuchai, and might have to grab the IPV6 when it's for sale or if that's not coming out for weeks then I'll treat myself to the Sigelei 213 real version or something that has a VW ramp up time adjustment feature like an XCube Ultra. I hope I can vape over 150W with LG HB4s, man.

Neither of the 213's are firmware upgradable. You really need to watch the video Steve posted as you seem to have some misconceptions about the mod.

Sorry double post

 

[NickyGiaccone]

oh wow the usb is only for charging. I should've gotten the real 213 instead. But I like the 250W update on the new RX200S model. I love the IPV6 though so think I'll wait for that or get it regardless if it's not issue-prone. I hear half Fuchai owners love it and half are pissed off very much.

Looks like we posted at the same time.

 

[NickyGiaccone]

yeah you're right. Thanks for being polite. I always get people calling me out on some small bits of info about vaping I'm not privy to.

I watched both videos Daniel made (! for each version). It really looks like the only difference is the Carbon fiber wrap on the more expensive one. Neither one is firmware upgradeable. I think you made the right choice.

Sorry if I came across as harsh in my first post. If you are using it in power mode you are good to go. I wouldn't recommend using it for Ni200 or Ti01 in TC. Other than that it seems like it's liked by a lot of people (some of them friends of mine whose opinions I value). Enjoy your mod and don't worry about what others think as long as you like it. That's all that really matters.

Cheers,
Steve

I haven't read any complaints with misfire issues on the cheaper one, but the original with carbon fiber seemed to have a ton. The one original i got to use first hand had it, and it was a tad worse/ more frequent then my Asolo (which also had the same issue).

My fuchai hasn't misfired a single time. That alone is a fairly noteworthy difference imo. Going cheaper is definitely better in this instance.

It doesn't look like the ipv 6x is going to make by the deadline,last estimate I saw was Aug 15th,but there is always hope.

Honestly, if you are looking for a simple 150 w device the Asmodus Minikin V1.5 is darn good. The form factor is quite amazing. So tiny for the power. And it does do TC. Since you really should not chain vape over 150 watts with two batteries it has just the right amoiunt of power and the battery life is good.

Pretty sure Daniel slammed that as having shitty TC as well in his review a couple weeks back .

Plus it costs twice as much as the Fuchai, doesn't have firmware upgrades either, and still looks to be pretty big in the width department. Not sure i see it giving you the same bang for your buck you get with the Fuchai as a non-TC box.

Here is the link

You are correct.
Although that hasn't taken it off my consideration list.
I definitely do NOT need another mod but I may get one anyway just because I don't have that one.
But that is because the special edition chrome and gold ones look awesome!
Then again, I'd never be able to touch it due to fingerprints.
haha

 

[Paratech]

This one on the other hand, I like.

I picked up the Black/Red one and I do like it.
May have to get the other two to have the complete set.
The fire button design is too easy to get used to.
(maybe that's why I like the 4 Eleaf iStick TC100s as well)
Everything about the H-Priv is pretty nice.
