Okay folks
Here's the thing
I'm leaving to China
I'm not moving there, don't feed your hopes
I'm leaving for a week
Because in China is going to happen global vape expo. The most huge expo ever been
I've been invited by organizers, so I could come, visit, look, did highlights and be able to tell you what's going on there
Sadly, I'm gonna experience the internet issues in China, so I won't be able to do Youtube live streams
But most possibly I'll be doing Instagram streams. And that's what Chinese organizers asked me to do. We'll see how it'll work - everything is depends on their internet
Anyway I'll get VPN and will try to use everything as I used to, but I don't know how it's going to work
Also, while I'll be in China I'll try to visit few interesting factories - Sigelei, Dovpo, Asmodus, Vandy Vape. I'll try to get to Aspire as well. Overall - I'll try to be everywhere, so you will have interesting content to watch
Jeff is coming with me, he's gonna film all of this and I think that we're gonna film a lot
But due to I'm leaving, there is going to be some limitations on the channel. It's not gonna affect video upload schedule - videos will be uploaded every two days, but I'll try to shorten them.
I'm talking with you in the beginning right now - I won't be doing it in next videos. It's going to be like that for like 8 videos
So let's prepare for a fast reviews. Let's roll. intro...
Hehey! Hello everyone! Alex from VaperMD is with you
And i'm glad to welcome you on my channel
And today our guest is VCIGO K3(this name is abbreviation for short circuit in Russian) by Sigelei
Not the best name for a box mod, K3, it sounds scary in Russian
Anyway, it's K3 by Sigelei - box mod that is completely made out of plastic and can handle very low resistance
It comes with a weird tank, but all of that we're going to see when we dive down
So let's go
Okay folks, let's unbox this white packaging. It's written VCIGO K3 kit, lower we have a picture of device and Sigelei logo
It's also written that this kit is perfect for beginners and great for vapers
Great(klass)
On this side we have a logo and barcode, this side we have description of kit contents, a little bit of information and technical specs, QR codes, and certificates
Under the cover we are met by huge pile of papers, a bag with silicone airflow adjustment ring and o-ring for a glass, spare coil head in non-seal packaging
MicroUSB-USB cable for charging and QC pass
And now, as always, a little bit of technical specs. This mod is made out of plastic and available in 4 colors - Green, Blue, Black and Red
This mod is driven by 150W chip with support of TC mode for popular wires and supports resistance down to 0.05Ω. Maximum voltage is 7.5V
It's powered by 2*18650 and can be charged via MicroUSB with 2.5A current
Also this mod fits atomizers up to 27mm in diameter
This kit is comes with a O9 sub ohm tank with 2ml capacity, top fill and airflow adjustment with separate silicone ring
Diameter of this tank is 24mm
Okay, we're done with specs. Now it's time to give it a detailed look. And we'll start with the tank
This is O9 tank by Sigelei and this isn't new - Sigelei already used that tanks in kits of their other products
But let's quickly look at it. On the top we have a drip tip - this drip tip have threading and knurling for convenient unscrewing. And by unscrewing it like so we're getting access to fill slot
And I guess you understand, that you are unable to change this drip tip and when you will be filling the tank you're gonna touch it with your fingers
To replace the coil head we need to do next things - for a start we need to get rid of the glass, which is often uncomfortable
Next we need to unscrew the shaft and after that unscrew the coil head itself
Pre-installed coil head is absolutely the same as the spare one - SM2-H. This is 0.2Ω coil head, recommended wattage is 60-100W, best at 70-90W
Vertical single coil
Lower we have a deck without airflow adjustment. Airflow adjustment is available with silicone ring, which we have in the kit and which I showed you earlier
Okay friends, let's fill it up and let it sit and saturate. And we'll have time to talk about box mod
Okay, I'll repeat myself and say, that this box mod is made out of plastic. On the top we have metal connector - as you can see it's not centered, but it fits up to 27mm atomizers anyway
Inside of it we have slightly spring-loaded gold-plated pin with flat head cutout. I tried to screw or unscrew it - nothing happened
For example 26mm atomizer will look pretty nice - as you can see it have no overhangs and it fits perfect
Let's continue. Over here we have control panel - fire button in shape of a shield with a logo of this device, the screen, + and - buttons and MicroUSB slot
On the sides we have nothing interesting - only some design curves
On the rear side we have battery door with logo and name of this mod
On the bottom, as always, we have vent holes and notch for opening the door
I'll say - this battery door isn't held very well - it's loose, but if you shake the mod it'll not fell off, but it removes easily
I would install stronger magnets in here
Okay, this is the slot for 2*18650. It have a ribbon for convenient batteries removal, correct polarity marks and contacts on the bottom is spring-loaded
To make this mod working let's insert 2*18650 batteries
Right after we inserted the batteries the mod is turning On and we can see important information
In regular state the mod will display wattage, voltage, resistance, battery life and current mode
And we've seen this chip before - it's sorta old and standard Sigelei chip - it's old by it's working
You can adjust the wattage with + and - buttons with 0.1W increments
If we click fire button 3 times we'll get into Menu, to be more exact it's the Mode selection
In here we have Power, TC for SS, Ni, Ti and TCR more
If we press and hold Fire button and + button simultaneously we'll get into Preheat settings - you can adjust the wattage and time of preheat
If we press and hold Fire button and - button simultaneously we'll lock +/- buttons, but Fire button will be working. We can unlock it the same way
If we press and hold - and + button simultaneously we can lock the resistance, but only in TC mode
And by clicking Fire button 5 times we can turn On and Off the box mod
And now little size wise comparison with other 2*18650 mods. Our today guest is kinda tall
Overall, that's all regarding this mod. Let's go back to face-time and talk of its pros and cons
And of course we'll try this atomizer
Thanks for your attention in close up. Let's go
Overall, folks. Everything is working and it's good by itself. But anyway, I found some cons and pros, which we are going to discuss right now
Let's begin with a tank. First thing that I don't like is plastic threaded drip tip which screws into metal and it's a top cap of this tank as well.
it's not good - by screwing and unscrewing this top cap plastic threading could be damaged - metal can easily do it with the plastic and we'll left without top cap. It's a con
This design is a picture of how things shouldn't be done - when you are outside - for example in subway(underground) and you need to refill the tank - you have to unscrew the top cap. Don't vape in subway, you hear?
You was touching handrails, handshake with someone and after that you starting to touch your drip tip. It's not good for your health. That's why it's a con
Next con of this tank is complicated coil head replacement. To change the coil head you need unscrew the drip tip, remove the glass, unscrew the shaft, unscrew the coil head, then screw down new coil head, screw the shaft, put the glass and screw the drip tip
LONG
Okay, I'm done with the tank, let's talk about box mod
About the mod(reference to fashion - words mod and fashion are very similar in Russian language). Hello to Anastas
First con is the battery door. This door plays in all directions, held loosely and removes too easily. Two magnets are too weak for this door. Well, battery door, as always, is a weak side of Sigelei. It's 2018 and Sigelei still didn't make good battery doors for their mods
You need to work on this, Sigelei
Next con is very subjective. I don't like this edgy/angular design. This design is not for everyone and this is my personal subjective con
Folks, don't forget that this mod is made out of plastic. And plastic isn't the most durable material. In case you drop this mod on some hard surface - on a tile or concrete - I suppose this plastic will be damaged
So be very careful with plastic mods
Okay, I'm done with cons. Let's talk about pros
You know perfectly what I'm thinking about vertical coil heads - so I will say this - this tank have some flavor due to short distance between coil head and your mouth
And yes, this coil head can produce some flavor. Not the amount as rebuildable attys do, but it's here. And I even give this tank a pro for that
This tank have non-standard appearance. I don't know if its a pro or not, but it have kinda bubble glass and if it fall down on hard surface - the glass will shatter
So treat this kit very carefully
Now let's talk about box mod itself. First pro I'll give for a chip. It's a good old familiar chip with great button response and it can handle low resistance
So I'll give a pro for a chip, because it's simple, logical and understandable
Next pro to this box mod I'll give for fitting large diameter atomizers - up to 26-27mm. It's good. Though connector isn't centered there is enough free space
This box mod is light. When summer comes this mod will not be a stone in your pocket. Or in a bag. So it's very comfortable to carry it in summer season
Yes, it's big. It'll be stick out of you pocket, but in the same time it's very lightweight and it's a pro
Overall, this mod is assembled pretty good, excluding battery door of course. But aside from that everything is great - button doesn't rattle and clicks nicely, +/- buttons, the screen - everything is good
If we exclude the battery door - it would be perfect in terms of quality of manufacturing, but the battery door fails it
It's easy and undemanding in use. And that's it for pros and cons
And now we'll discuss the price
On the official Sigelei site this kit cost 56.99$
On other sites this kit cost 45$
Even if we ignore the official price, 45$ is too much for this kit. It's expensive for a plastic box mod. I think, this mod should cost, even without atomizer, somewhere around 30$ and this would be good price. But 45$ is too much
Okay, folks, let's summarize. I don't want to talk about atomizer, let's talk about box mod
If it's gonna cost 30$ - then I can recommend it, because it's a convenient box mod to use in summer season. You take it for summer and forget about it after, because it's cheap
But if this mod gonna be expensive - like 40$ and above - I don't see a point buying this box mod
Overall this box mod is good. Great chip, nicely assembled....Guys, guys from Sigelei, PLEASE, do the battery doors better. PLEASE make these battery doors good. PLEASE
If you do so - I can easily recommend this mod. But at this moment it's up to you to decide - is this box mod suits for you or not
And i'm done at this point
I wanna thank YOU for your attention
I wish you a delicious vape and let the vaping come into your life and stays there for long
