2 of my 3 Segelis have kicked the bucket and I need to replace them. One is a telescopic and the other an ordinary but they both fit my lanyard holder so whatever I choose to replace them with, they must be similar in size and button position and they must be Vari-Wattage. Oh and preferably much the same in price. They replacements do not have to be telescopic.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks DiscoDes, but I am in 2 minds about going for a Zmax again as 2 out of 3 have failed within the first year. Perhaps I expect too much, but I would have thought that a push button switch would last longer than a year.

An eVic with Kir Fanis tubes - I love my eVics and the Kir Fanis tubes are telescopic. Or you could buy two sets of Siam tubes (as well!!)

I might be tempted to sell my evic with spare black 650 tubeset if it's of interest. Not used it for a month or so.. just sitting pretty!
£45 and it's yours.

Thanks for the offer Dan. I will hold off just now and see what others come up with. I am looking to buy new, preferably from a UK vendor because I need to know that I can get them repaired if they go bad on me soon after I buy them.

I don't think you can go far wrong with a Vamo to be honest. I've had my V2 for ever and use it every day, still going strong

I am inclined to agree with you OneDay. I have 2, one in use and one away for a rainy day. However I don't like the 3 button system, but if I cannot find anything better, I might just go for another couple of Vamos.

Would you go for a mech mod with a kick? Don't my epack have an offer on the coolfire at the moment? Might be worth a look in there x

Thanks Guys and Gals for all the suggestions. I think I will try a Smoketech Sid and see how I get along with that. It will fit my existing lanyards and ofcourse it is the one button that I like. I am afraid I am not very adventurous when it comes to MODs. The simpler the better for my already confused state of mind!

The silver is my go to mod, the poor thing has been dropped countless times. Down the stairs, on concrete and still vapes on. Threads are starting to go after about 6-8 months but tubes are replaceable.

Well the SID has two advantages for me.
As I like to wear my MODs on a lanyard, with the SID being aluminium bodied, it should be lighter to wear than the Zmax and with its screen directly above the button, I should be able to read that without having to remove it from the pouch.
Anyways, it is "in the post" so I should find out soon.
