My mate got one brought over by some friends from the USA, he will be selling it as he hates the battery not showing it is dead it seems to show about 1/4 then just dies. So even when you press the fire button it first shows a 1/4 then you try firing and it's dead, if that makes sense.

That's a pain, the sigelei I have shows the battery level and warns when it's low. but depending on price I might still be interested. But just a thought, can't the software be updated and might that help? I literally have no idea but it's a thought?

The 213 is not cheap for a mod that doesn't do what it says on the tin.

My suggestion would be to only get it if you use wattage mode. TC is a complete donkey on both the 213 models.

That's what I 'am also told and no real warning when the battery is going

Yes. The TC is a disaster, but that other comment is .. um ... not correct.

It's a fabulous VW box mod. Shame Sigelei are a bunch of total *deleted*.....

I love mine. I wouldn't swap it now for anything.

I doubt he cares now his mind was set on getting rid, I have no clue on updating but I dropped him an email asking if he has sold it, and if not how much was he looking for, if it turns out he still has it I will post back and pm his details for email so you can see what he has to say if it suits you.

Sorry I will disagree on that one @djs as I have seen it on at least 2 occasions recently, and I did not believe it when first told.

Sadly not. Neither of the 213 devices support software updates. 

DJLsb Vapes does a great review here:

now I'm totally confused

[sleedale]

djs you own one? And like it? So, does it show when the batteries are running low? Does the TC work (not that I'd be using it to begin with) and what's the problem with Sigelei? I thought they made good things

Yes. I love it.
I don't know what to say about the battery business. It tells you (all the time) on the display the exact voltage from each battery. I don't know about the battery meter because i.m.o. this is more accurate not less.
I am fan of Sigelei, but I think making a mod with TC issues is very poor indeed. However, in the fullness of time I'll get to the bottom of the problem.
It was this or the Cuboid. As far as I'm concerned, at the right price, it's not a bad buy.
Not saying you should get one but the news on it isn't all bad.

Any idea where the best price is for a 213 djs ?

[sleedale]

Thank you djs, I've looked at a few ' reviews' on it, but as with everything it's very subjective, some say the TC isn't accurate but works, some say it's should be spot on. Etc etc etc. I thought it looked like a reasonable size, weight etc for a two 18650 mod. My 150w feels like a bit of a brick, but my son gave it to me so it's staying, but I'd like something smaller and lighter for everyday, out n about, but that might do for a while. I actually love the pico, it's tiny etc, but, like all the mini mods it has drawbacks. And I can't successfully recoil the heads, which really, really annoys me! The kbox only takes subtanks . Each one fails in some way, so maybe wobbly TC isn't too bad? They're not a bad price, I assume well made? And so on. Time for a brain break....

I would imagine the issue with the battery level indication is it's a live measurement and so it shows the battery level as it stands not under load when you aren't firing and when you do fire the battery under load is too low to fire the atomiser.

Target price has to be £45 or less really. I expect they'll be cheap ones in time.
IMO the Vendors shouldn't really be selling them without at least making some comments.

[joeten]

sleedale it's gone, sorry if my posts caused you any confusion I can only report what I have seen on it @getoffmycloud could have it about right I suspect.

I've just got hold of the Cuboid for a smallish dual 18650 mod and I absolutely love it. Has great reviews, everything works as it should and it shows BOTH battery levels on the screen. Got mine off amazon for a staggering £28.90.... using it every day. It is a little heavy but not bulky so you don't notice the weight as much and it's stainless steel.
