0Sigelei 150W TC Mod Review | Vape Mod Review
The new Sigelei 150W Temp Control improves on an already terrific device by adding temperature control function plus a bold new design.
Pure matte black, geometric lines, and their new embossed logo, Sigelei has significantly increased their visuals when it came to upgrading their classic 150w’s newest successor.
An ingenious separate metal 510 connector, the Sigelei 150W TC will stay slick and new even if you screw on your atomizer a bit too tight.
No more unsightly scratches and that annoying contrasting ‘o’ left behind. Sigelei has even included design upgrades when it came to their infamous magnetic battery door.
Managing to improve on the already perfect battery swapping system seen on most regulated box mods to date, Sigelei has added an ingenious thumb slot (fitting in seamlessly with their geometric lines) that makes sliding the magnetic door off a breeze.
The key to the new design is that it is no longer a squarish box.
The new Sigelei 150 has rounded corners that fit better in the hand, feel better in the pocket, and is easier on the eyes. In this Sigelei 150W Mod review, we’ll look at all it has to offer.

A little while back, Sigelei focused on production of the Sigelei 150W with temperature control and that is definitely a good thing.
The big news is that the temperature control has been added – something the original did not have.
The other big benefit is the unique design. Instead of looking like a box, it has this pretty cool geometric shape within the metal that gives it a futuristic look instead of just a plain or classic look.
What Comes in the Box?
- 1 x Sigelei 150W TC Box Mod
- 1 x Silicone Sleeve
- 1 x User Manual
How Does it Look?
Like we mentioned, the new look is unique and innovative. Sure, there are other box mods that have a pretty neat look but this one is one of our favorites. The Sigelei 150W doesn’t need extra done work to it.
This means you really don’t have to buy skins or paint it. Now you can get the silicone case that is sold as an accessory, but honestly, it doesn’t need it. The Sigelei 150w Temp Control already is pure awesome.
Even the logo is engraved into the metal and screen printed with color for a pure quality effect.
The other thing is that while this is a larger sized box mod, it easily fits into your pocket with the rounded corners that make it easy to slip into a space that is harder for a squared edge.
The battery door is even engineered to work more precise and easier.
For one thing, it’s made out of metal which not only makes it look nicer but it’s kind of a nice safety feature as well. A well-constructed metal vape is safer when using 18650 batteries.
The Sigelei 150w Temp Control not only uses magnets to hold the door in place, but it also slides into a slit so when the door is on there is no way that it is coming off, even accidentally.
This is designed to contain a battery mishap and keep in mind that metal won’t melt as easily as plastic.

Final Thoughts
The Sigelei 150W TC Mod has a great look and excellent performance. The buttons are very clicky and as we mentioned, the aesthetics of this device are spot on.
There is a little caveat to all of this awesomeness – unless you’re familiar with Joules, this box may be quite complicated for you.
Since temp control boards regulate the temperature of the coil, at a specific watt upper range, your device will read a change in Joules while you fire your device. However, if that’s something you’re used to then this may be just the device for you.
