So I want to talk about some shit going on in the vaping world that maybe consumers like myself might have missed.... on the 18th planned to release my overall review of the Sigelei 213. As stated in my caption under my unveiling video, I like to write my review after I have used and feel very comfortable using a mod. Now that being said, I got use to this mod faster than the one I reviewed prior to it, but the one thing I wasn't too sure of was using the mode that changes the temperature PPR correctly.... so like any normal vaper I Googled it and because I am a better visual learner with mods I selected the video tab to see who I could watch that I already subscribe to on YouTube and to my pleasure the first video that is displayed is from one of my favorite reviewers, Daniel or Djslvape, his YouTube channel name. I quickly learn that not only did I just wipe my ass with a hundred dollar bill, but that I COULD HAVE wiped my ass with less money and gotten a higher watt product... what the what?!?! So I continue on to SuckMyMod's 6/14/16 blog and learn that Daniel/Djsblbvapes was accosted (along with other social media users) for his honest, scientific review of the Sigelei 213 (both the carbon fiber higher priced mod and the Fuchai twin) and I was just floored by this. So then with my intrest peaked and I started trying to see what was said by Sigelei employee...long story short I ended up releasing the unveiling video and leaving the review out because I really wanted to see what was going to happen with this. I wanted to do unveiling and immediately add the review to the clip and use it as 1 video instead of 2 (which would make me behind most reviewers, but my subscribers and viewers would probably be happier that it was all together)... so I knew at the point I posted the unveiling that Sigelei had come out and said that they have no youtube channels and it was not one of their accounts, yet there were plenty of other accounts that appeared to belong to Sigelei so they ended up writing Daniel a letter and I put a link to Djsblbvapes blog where he has the screenshots showing what ultimately feel Sigelei should just own and apologize for, and maybe Song (what a name!) should be fired... I also think that because the 213 only tested to 155 (I dont remember the exact number the cheaper Fuchai tested at but it definately tested HIGHER than the more expensive model) that as a customer we should be able to return the product as it was purchased with the promise of certain things and neither work the way they claim...its like false advertisement. If you false advertise a meal at McDonalds to have 2 cheeseburgers and when customers go to McDonalds and buy the meal it has one and a half burgers, NONE OF US WOULD BUY THAT MEAL! Not to mention if we complained to the company and had their sales person yell at anyone who was mad, and then ALSO didn't give you back your money...how often would you eat there...YOU WOULDN'T. You wouldn't have their cheeseburgers, you wouldn't have their chicken...shit you wouldn't even get a soda there! For me personally this was my first and LAST Sigelei mod. Since I have never owned one, I hadn't ever watched any reviews of the companies actual products... but I have now....and as an educated woman, vaper and consumer I can see that this is way more common than I would have ever known. Some people would say our opinions don't matter but that is not true... I watched the KBOX 200's technical review and it was only hitting around 160, and now we obviously have the DripBox 160, so obviously some companies are showing that not only do they care about the people who buy their products but that they take pride in their company and products enough that they want to advertise 2 burgers and sell 2 damn burgers! Also I want to know why these companies aren't doing these tests themselves...on every single unit sold...its called quality control where I come from. I also would like to know why more of us don't say something so that other vapers know it is not something that they want to buy. Obviously not all of reviewers have the technology or technical talent to do these tests, but WHAT IF REVIEWERS didn't put a review out the day the pull the mod out of the box. Maybe then when vapers Google the mod they've been eyeballing at their local ejuice store they would find out that it wasn't awesome, that it doesn't do what it claims to do and to eyeball something else... because unlike these huge reviewers the rest of the vape world isn't getting a mod the day the company sends out a sample... we purchase them out of chronigical order ya know... I know I am gonna get a lot of hate from reviewers now, but come on, don't we all have a duty to each other as members of the vaping community to spend some time with a mod before reviewing it. Its like everyone (myself included) that reviews has to be the 1st person to review a product when in a normal vapers world chronigical doesn't matter at all, what matters is if its good...and I think too many people say its good before having the right to judge that. Its a chain reaction in a way because if reviews were more than "hey this just came in the mail and i just used it for a couple hours (maybe even less in some cases) and its awesome" maybe companies that produce more bad mods that just over charge would not be what vapers consider the cream of the crop anymore. After this I know for myself I wont ever watch just any old review or read any old video... I will be making sure I make more educated purchases. Prior to this I always thought certain products were super great but I definitely re evaluated how I am going to look at vaping companies and products from now on. I hope that people who vape will take the time to click the link I put to Daniels blog and take a little to read it all and then watch his video... we have to make this unacceptable to vape sellers internationally. I also hope Sigelei learns from this and in the future listens more to consumers, because I know it took way too long for the battery door thing to get changed. Also thank you Daniel and SuckMyMod for being a couple good example of vapers helping vapers. Afterall we all love the same thing, so we cant do a disservice to each other by reviewing upon opening or for consumers, purchasing without researching. I wish I personally had waited, no one knows what bugs anything will have till its been around the block. That's my opinion. Happy vaping bitches! ????
Daniel/Djsblbvapes blog post that has video link & screenshots of how vapers were treated. Link posted below. *McDonalds is only a example of a company who does not false advertise. No statements made ever took place at any of McDonalds locations and was made up for sake of comparison.
One plus is that it is a very gorgeous mod, even though the temperature doesn't read correctly?
