SIGELEI 213W
by Peaches Atkinson
As a recent release from Sigelei, this
mod is rather small, but still packs a very
hefty punch that sets it apart from the
crowd.
It’s technical specifications are as
follows:
Size : 88x44x29mm
Temperature Control (between 100℃300℃/200℉-570℉)
VW Mode (10W to 213W, in 0.1W
increments)
Brass 510 spring loaded pin
Made from Carbon Fibre and Zinc Alloy
Resistance Range: 0.1Ω-3.0Ω
Dual 18650 batteries
Input Voltage 6.4V-8.4V
Output Voltage : 1.0V-7.5V
The mod is coated in carbon fibre with
either gold or dark grey accents, it is
aesthetically very attractive.
Even with batteries, it is quite light in
weight, this may come as welcomed
news to some of you, whereas others
may prefer a heavier and more
substantially weighted device.
In terms of performance, you can easily

push it up to about 80W-100W no
problem. One of the main selling points
of this mod is that it can go up to 213W,
unfortunately, most standard 18650
batteries won’t be able to cope with the
increased wattage.
The Sigelei 213W is rather unique in
terms of it’s ‘Power Up’ function, allowing
you to increase or decrease the power of
the vape when using RDAs or RTAs.
This allows you to automatically heat
a coil quickly at a high wattage (for
example 130Watts) for a split-second
before it goes back to a more preferable
and manageable amount of Watts (for
example 75Watts). Basically, all this
means is you get better performance
without the drawbacks of reduced battery
life, dry hits and having to wait for a coil
to heat up over a longer period of time
(of which could damage and over heat
your coils). Consider it as a short ‘boost’
to your coils.
Two 18650 batteries are required
to power this mod, and it features a
micro-USB port (although I strongly
recommend that you use a dedicated
charger rather than charging via the
device). Generally, I found that two
2500mAh batteries tend to drain quite
quickly- especially when operating at a
high wattage.
In summary, this device is as simple
or as advanced as you make it, for
example, you can use it with a tank at
2.0ohm but can also use it with a 0.2ohm
coil on an RDA. I think that the 213W
mod is easy on the eye as well as being
ergonomically pleasing, it’s ever so
practical to fit in a pocket or handbag,
and doesn’t look too obvious when out in
public. It is well designed in terms of it’s
functionality and minimalist layout.
This mod from Sigelei will set you back
about $90 which,for what you are getting,
is actually pretty decent.
Despite not looking like a bulky box
mod, it’s features are on par with the top
devices out there. I really enjoyed this
mod it was easy, safe and impressive.
