Hey all,
Just joined officially but have gathered a lot of info from this forum during my salvation from cancer sticks to the vape nation. The wife and I both have been smoke free since early 2014 now.
Here is the question: She is 50/50 between the Sigelei 100w SX-330 box and the newer SX350 slim. She likes the dual battery arrangement of the 100w more for battery life than raw power output. Anyone have thoughts (other than the obvious price difference) on one vs the other?
She likes my personal build (no plans to make these for sale at the moment...) She wants either dual batts or more figure to the design so doesn't fancy me building one for her.
Here is mine. Started life as a normal Hammond 1590a. I milled it down to 25mm depth (externally) overall. Stock height and width obviously. I then squared all the sides to get rid of the Hammond's inherent gangsta lean. I milled the window hole (which in hindsight is bigger than it needed to be) and recessed the area for the button. 510 connector is mounted in the bottom and pinhole for the led. It can be used while charging so this keeps the cord out of the way...
The 510 is a sprung version. All 14awg wire with the 510 center pin soldered directly on. Thermally potted with silver ceramic compound and a Sony VTC5 inside. May go with magnets and a tray soon to add battery swapping ability. Njst enough room inside to fab something up.
Here it is naked.
And with my SQuape-R in the hand for scale...
I intentionally left some grinding marks and scuffs, along with a spin under the wire brush. Then some aluminum black from Birchwood Casey which was steel wooled off. Left a nice steampunky feel to it.
Thanks. Looking to pick one or the other up for her very soon. I suggested she also look at the Pioneer ipv mini. Any thoughts on that machine or how it compares to the other two? We like hefty and well built mods. We were used to carrying our all copper mechs (still do sometimes...) so weight isn't really a factor.
Cheers!
