Sigelei 75 PLUS Incoming!

[MrTeaTime]

I'm still not sure about the design, but it's growing on me.

It is odd why more regulated boxes don't use 26650s.

Same here....the 18650 75 is a stunning looking piece of kit....this just looks wrong to me

I don't really like box shaped mods, no real reason, I just prefer curves, and smaller mods. I'll happily trade off form for function though.
I think this one looks like a Subox mod that has not been careful with its diet and not taking enough exercise.
I''d estimate it will be about 8mm fatter than similar 18650 mods, and about the same height, or about as fat as a 30ml glass juice bottle.
Not a bad form factor, but I'd like to see it side by side with other popular single cell mods, say a D2, or a Subox.
If this had fixed batteries people would be all over it, it could have similar mah capacity to an istick 50 which easily lasted me all day and then some. As it will probably come with on board charging I don't see the battery/charger argument. I totally get that people don't want yet another cell size to deal with though. I think it might appeal to people who desire more capacity, but don't want to go to dual cell box mods. I'm one of those people.
Not sure about that door though....

Stick a Subtank Plus on it, or similar larger tank, and its a good, reasonably proportioned, all day set up for work days, give me Ti functions and I'd be interested in one. I'll maybe keep an eye out for it, the larger capacity for size trade off is good IMO.

Following Sigelei’s continued success in the highly competitive world of box mods, here comes the Sigelei 75 PLUS – an evolution from the Sigelei 75W TC.

The Sigelei 75 PLUS uses a 26650 battery – which has the advantage of a very long battery life – rather than the more standard 18650s we have all become accustomed to.

Here’s what Sigelei have to say about the Sigelei 75 PLUS:

“The Sigelei 75W PLUS is the newest 75w temp control mod being released by Sigelei. The Sigelei 75w PLUS Mod is to be used with a single 26650 battery, which has a far better mAh capacity than 18650 cells. The device will last far longer between charges than a 18650 cell. Typical 26650 cells have a charging capacity of 4200mAh. It will be in production in mid-November 2015.”

Oh FFS. I knew I should of waited a few months, now I got to buy the plus too. Good in a way as I was running out of options to keep up one a month until next may lol!

BTW, Looking at the chipsets, I know they are very clever in what they do, but they seemed rather simple from a techinical standpoint ( Not too many things on the board ETC) and it made me think of my megadrive, being printed on a green board.

My Sega Megadrive original still works after around 23 years. My cousin had it first, then gave it to me when I was 5 or 6. That, was the best present ever at my age, and it was not even my birthday, then after a year or too I got A ps1, and thought we was at the pinnacle of gaming, could not imagine bettter graphics. You play Metal gear solid now, snake doesn't even have eyes, his nose it a triangle and his mouth it a blurred black line lol.

So, looking at the boarding seeming to be simple, I am really hoping for a megadrive like life, imagine that. I would then have bought all these mods for no reason, but I do not mind as I like the collection growing though, but Sigelei should of got it right the first time round, and 26650?

I wonder if this will become a new standard? Seems a good idea to me, high watt devices from a single battery using a 26650, only thing is the width of device has to increase by at least 8MM.

TL: DR : This is what sigelei should of released first, we were used as Beta testers really.

Although I don't mind, as finding a mod a month is getting difficult, so would buy this sigs V2 definitely. I don't want the 150 at the moment, another dual battery high power mod will probably be the last I buy in April/ May, a lot could be new by then and bettter, plus my Xcube 2 does TC the best so far.

I also wonder if 26650 will become a new standard for higher wattage, single battery devices, as even the IPV can only put out around 25-30 full power puffs, I use them mainly at 30 watts and under as ADV's or up to 50 watts TC.

Also, taking them apart they seem very simple boards. I see no reason they should not continue working for years and years if you are careful not to overheat the boards all the time.

As I understand it.....(I do pipes and pumps for a living, not wires and cells)
26650 generally have higher "mah", which is a measure of how much energy the cell can hold, in simple terms. There is a finite limit to what current cells can safely output in terms of power (watts). The mah rating is how long that output can be maintained for before the cell slumps.

Unless you go insanely low ohms on your (non TC) coils the power output difference between an 18650 and a 26650 is negligible. The biggest difference is in 'energy storage' capacity, IE you will go longer between charges with a 26650 over an 18650, everything else being equal. Down side, a 26650 will take longer to charge than an 18650. I'd suspect that the mod will have a 'no fire cut off' on the (non TC) coil resistance somewhere around 0.2 ohms anyway, for various good safety reasons.

Higher mahs = more puffs.
Higher amps = hotter puffs, or bigger clouds.

You are pretty much right, Higher amps is more power, thus more wattage. That is why in a mech you must build low if you want big clouds, as a 0.7 build only puts out up to 25 falling as it discharges to 3.7Volts at around 18 Watts if I remember correctly, while a 0.25 build puts out nearer 50 or so watts,( lowest I would say is safe with the 25R as that is dead on 20 AMPS, with a 0.1 putting out 124 watts!

That is in a mech though, the current 75W devices pull 25AMPS MAX from the battery, but usually it is anywhere in the range from 9-20 watts. So I use a 25R, they are OK going over a couple of amps as samsung rated them very safely/liberally.

I don't know why, but I always thought the 26650 cells were rated with Higher amp ratings, so would be safer, as the current 18650's are being overdrawn by up to 5 amps with the current 75 watt devices out, hopefully the sig 75W plus will rectify it.

Also, with the higher MAH, it will be able to do 75Watts for more than 20 to 30 puffs lol before downstepping to 60 then 50.

Thats the main reason I only use the Current Sig 75 up to 40 Watts, Usually between 240-270C.

Once the coils are up to temp I drop it to 30-35 and get great battery life, and no dry hits .
