Reviewer comments on business characteristics
Just like the 100W which had seen its design and its quality improve with the arrival of the 100W Plus, it is the turn of the 50X to undergo a facelift. In the case of the 50W, the aesthetic improvement is undeniably successful as the design of the first version was clumsy. We keep a Yihi SX 330 chipset whose reputation is well established. With this work, the beauty has seen its price increase. So, where to place it in relation to the two references in this category: the IPv 2 mini and the Smok xpro. Having tested all three, I take advantage of this column to offer you my ranking. But first, we attack the owner's turn.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
So let's start with his measurements. With its 96mm high, 45mm wide and 24mm thick, it doesn't fit in the mini but rather in the compact. 270g with the battery, it is rather heavy. The perceived quality is excellent, the micro-billed anodization, the bevelled edges, the waves on the front face are all points that will satisfy the most difficult. The buttons are perfectly wedged in their housing and respond wonderfully well. The interior of the beast is also neat, nothing sticks out, everything is clean ... it gives you confidence. Finally, the positive pin is made of copper just like the contacts of the battery so the conductivity is there.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
This box is equipped with the famous Yihi SX 350 so needless to say that you will find all the traditional protections and functions offered by this chipset. You will choose a 18650 battery with flat head IMR type high drain. The copper pin is spring loaded so everything will be flush. Be careful though because it seems to me that ato changes will leave traces in the long run. The locking system is not revolutionary but it has the merit of being simple and efficient. You just need to press the center of the +/- one second toggle button to turn it on or off. The good impression continues.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning
It arrives in its sober black box, the inscriptions on the latter have a rather chic chrome appearance. Inside, the box protected by its silicone skin (which by the way is part of the package), the manual, and spare screws for the hood. The manual is in complete English and understandable even if your level is like mine: all just school.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
In use, this box is very pleasant. The vape is well regulated, Yihi chipset requires. Its maintenance is simple, although you will need a torx screwdriver to remove the back cover. Finally, dismantle it, if necessary… because Sigelei offers us a cover which swings 90 ° around the axis formed by the screw which allows access to the battery very easily. This cover is held in place by a magnet. No need to have done extra math to use this box, we adjust the power using the +/- button and we shoot.
Its dimensions, even if they are not its strong point, will not prevent you from considering the nomadic life with it.
A priori, we hold a very good product.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
The Sigelei does better than figuration in this segment of compact medium power boxes. So let's compare it to two references in this sector that I had in my hands The IPV mini and the xpro.
In terms of power: it is the least popular, with its 50W it is below the SMOK Xpro which offers 65W and the Ipv mini 2 and its 70W.
In terms of finish, it is ahead. The Smok follows it a short distance away and the IPV is far behind.
In terms of size, it is difficult to dethrone the Smok xpro which keeps its leading position, but it is on par with the IPv.
The price remains. There, she is clearly behind with her € 99,90, she is at the back of the pack. Well, take into account that the silicone skin is provided so you will not have to lengthen the note by 10 € to protect the precious one but it still leaves a significant gap. But note that the finish is above the rest.
So the ranking:
1 smok xpro m65: its price, size, power ratio is very difficult to counter.
2 Sigelei: it is its price and perhaps its size that prevents it from triumphing. Be careful, this remains the prettiest and best finished.
3 The IPV mini2: it finishes in last place because for me its level of finish is too limited.
To conclude on the Sigelei, it remains an excellent choice, you will not be disappointed because it is worth the detour. It is not to fall backwards, but its qualities of finish, its elegance, and of course its vape will leave you I am fully satisfied.
