That's the thing. Some say it's fine to use 3 same battery's that aren't married and other say that's a no no.. so I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Here it Comes! The WISMEC Reuleaux RX200S
- Thread starter Roadtrip635
- Start date
Mooch said if you charge them externally, you are resetting them the same at every recharge. I would check the voltage of every cell after every few hours or so to make sure they are all about the same voltage. If they stay the same, all is well. When they get low, that is very important to check them closely. As any difference between them, they will really start to show here.
I don't have anything to check them with. I don't mind ordering 3 battery's though. Just to be safe. Imr usually ships the fast. I should have them in a couple days..
Definitely a gap with the TFV4. I don't have the original RX200 to compare, but I am not disappointed so far. Too afraid to screw it down too tight, given the issues with the original.
Update: The TFV4 will sit flush, and feels like I could go tighter but I'm not going to do it.

Wismec may not have, but one reseller has text that said it was changed, and improved because Wismec/Jaybo listened to their customers!!!!!
I need to see if I can find it....
That's good to hear. I usually have a Griffin 22 on my RX200 and it sits on there without any problems. I do put my Tobeco Velocity on it from time to time and have never had any problems. It sits flush on my ELeaf 100w TC also.
I would put a heatsink on it too but tanks are already tall enough and that would make them even taller. Im thinking of going go a hardware store and getting a rubber washer to fill a gap if needed.

Both of mine came in today and so far....disappointed.
Some of my go to atomizers won't sit flush.
Getting them both to run Ti required building an ultra low res. dummy coil and then following up with the atomizer I would be using. This would make the device ask if it was a new atomizer which seemed to work. Before that I had to crank the temp nearly all the way up to 600 just get a very weak vape. At least it stayed in TI TC mode though. After the dummy atomizer trick it vapes Ti well.
Not so with SS. I tried everything. I cleaned all the 510's, tried various atty's that are all working on my P4You mods, fiddled with the lock and unlock, the res. lock, tried everything I could find that people tried on the original rx200 and nothing worked.
I vape a lot of SS. If it's not gonna work they're both going back. It's a shame. I like the device but so far they have only been a waste of time and money.
Did they every come out with a firmware update for the rx200 that made them work with ss?

Been vaping with both VW and TC running my Velocity with dual parallel 26 ga 316L @.15
Running like a champ here.
At first I had a little difficulty but I think that was mostly user error as it's my first TC mod-- After vaping a while in VW mode just because I didn't wanna fool with it any more at that point, I powered it off and removed the atty and powered it up and set up the TC. Powered it back off and installed the atty and it's been fine since then.

That is totally not true, i have been repeatedly checking the Wismec official website since the minute they announced this device, since the minute this thread was created, not a word of the description has changed and they never wrote about an "improved" 510, and i even copied that description in an earlier post on this thread:
People have been using the description on 101vape from the get go to back up this illusion which is merely a misrepresentation of the product's specifications, so if someone got the product from 101vape and end up being disappointed with the 510 they can simply return it on the grounds of false advertising.
Wismec never officially described the 510 as such to my knowledge.

I don't any of the rx series, but I know some of you guys were having issues with the 510's
in mike vapes review he mentioned a face book group "ohmnation" I think? is swapping them out for fat daddy 510s. '
I think that is the group he said,if I'm wrong here is the video

Buying a brand new mod just to send it out for a 510 swap that would void the device's warranty is not the best idea in the world, there are 100s of mods out there in the market with great 510s out of the box, why bother with this one?
EDIT: except if you are addressing those who already have the device and their 510 is broken.

The saga of let down continues.
For some reason the device has decided that the titanium coil it was running fine yesterday isn't going to work any longer.
The dummy atomizer trick no longer works.
I tried a ni200 coil in my crown tank and the device jumps into TI mode and immediately starts temp protection.
This has got to ge the worst vaping purchase I've ever made. I've got two of them sitting here that can possibly manage running kanthal wire.
So in short my two brand new RX200s will not fire anything in TC mode with any reliability at all. Waiting to here from 101vape about how to return thest two paperweights.

My V1 runs ss & ti fine, I don't think there's any difference in the firmware.
When I am putting a tank on I will unlock and hit the fire button without the tank. Then put the tank on. Then hit the fire button for a split second and then lock it. This mod has a slight delay to fire so the split second press of the button is not actually heating up the coil and giving a false resistance.
At least that's the silly ritual I do and it works.
If your tanks resistance is lower than the last one it won't ask new coil. If resistance is higher it will ask new coil.
You can always set a custom tcr for your ti builds (0350, rx drops the leading zero) and if the normal ti tcr still requires you to run it at 600°, then set tcr 30 higher and try it again.
To set tcr, click 5 times to turn off. Then hold fire and up button for a while. That will bring up the adjustment.

Thanks and I tried that fq06 but it didn't work. I've been trying tcr values for ss all across the spectrum and nothing works. I also can't duplicate forcing the device to ask if I'm using a new tank or not. It's hard to imagine that both of these are broken but I can't figure it out. I've watched every video I could find and searched for hours now for work arounds. I've been vaping for years and have never had this much trouble with anything.
The new coil thing is hit and miss, I don't worry if I don't get it. Don't get hung up on that.
For sure if the coil is lower resistance or the same than the last one for sure you won't get new coil. New attomizer with higher coil resistance, you will most likely get new coil but not every time. No idea why.
As long as I follow that sequence in the post above, it works... and sometimes patting my head while rubbing my belly helps too
Just throw a new tank on and unlock then lock resistance it probably won't lock in correctly.

Well maybe I'm getting somewhere. I have three crown tanks. One had a ni200 coil that worked, then didn't and is again. I had an ah ha moment and tried the stock .25 SS coil that I generally run in the other two Crown tanks with the TC function and it worked...and it worked very well. So I rebuilt a couple of the atomizers that weren't working with new SS coils only this time I didn't use claptons, just straight 316L wire and it's working well. Every atomizer I've had trouble with, persistant trouble has had clapton SS coils or clapton TI coils.
I run a lot higher tcr than stock SS mode with the crown .25 coils... 110. Rebuildable with regular 316L wire, just the stock SS mode.
Only messed around with ss claptons a few times and no matter what it kicks me out of TC and into 20w power mode.
Yihi 350j chip, no problem... just not enough power with single cell.

That is a nice screen, mine is so well used I had to grab a $1.60 silicone sleeve from FT to cover it up.
On a side note, couldn't ask for a better fit https://www.fasttech.com/products/4011202

Had a few issues with TC w/316L earlier today and I was kinda thinking maybe it was the device...
Dropped back and punted...
Ripped out the old coil and popped in a new set of handrolled 316L coils...dual parallel 26 ga .15 ohms
Made sure the grub screws were nice and tight. Turned off the ohm lock and installed the coil...locked it again and fired it up and it's fine.
Made me go hmm...pulled up another identical tobeco velocity with an identical set of coils that had given me problems earlier in the day and backed out the grub screws and resnugged them.
Doncha know it works fine now too?!?
As I speculated in an earlier post--the problems must have been operator error on my part.

I must admit too that it seems it was user error on my part, well that and working with finicky SS coils. All my previous TC devices are P4You products and they have worked fine in comparison but perhaps my memory is also convenient. I get up this morning and get dry coil warnings from both my IPV 5 devices from a simple SS 24 gauge 8 wrap compressed coil that was working fine last night on everything, including the two RX200s devices. Of course it vapes fine in VW mode.
And like someone said above the vape is different, more consistent and satisfying when you start asking more from the batteries than the vape you get with a single to two cell mod.
Also, all the clapton coils I had trouble with were SS prebuilts or prebuilt wire with the exception of the one titanium wire that I made myself and I really didn't put much effort into getting that wire just right. I've been really loving SS and moving away from TI and NI as much as possible so I wanted to do something with the wire.
I've even been fiddling with the TCR values for SS and am making progress. No more dropping into wattage mode or any of that.
I put a single compressed 24 gauge SS .35 coil in my derringer and it works outstanding on the RX200S. For me that is where TC shines the most, in these smaller chamber drippers.

To me spaced SS coils work better in TC mode. Compressed works, just not as well.
Seems to get temp spikes and valleys compared to spaced.
If you have one of those coil tools, check this post out for a nice compact spaced coil

Worth at least giving spaced a try on your next build if you haven't tried a spaced coil already

I already have one of those coil jigs on the way from FT. I've always used that little hand held one with the different diameter coils all on it. The jig was so cheap I just picked it up on a whim. SS is so easy to work with I just played with my already installed compressed coils and spaced them a bit. It does seem to vape a bit better. Thanks for all the help. The RX200S is now working out just fine.

pulled the trigger on the pre-order rx200s last week,still in "packaging" as of today.also got a bunch of new gauge SS 316L coming today.
also looked into fat daddies 510 connectors,they have 3 versions.I m not sure which type to get but thinking the 22mm low profile short V4. ?

I got my RX200S from Heaven Gifts a couple days ago and so far it's been working great. I really like the color combo, glad they made it available for the non-DNA200 versions. The 510 connection seems to have more travel than my original RX200, had it since early December. All my tanks and RDA's sit flush, but I didn't have any problems with my original RX200 either.
I've tried TC for NI200 with a single coil in my SXK Wine Tank and dual SS316L coils in a Griffin 22 and worked just fine. I've been using mostly in Power mode and TC SS mode, and have had zero issues, so I'm pretty happy! I do love that screen, a lot easier on the eyes and the font is actually starting to grow on me....lol

I can't tell any difference in the 510 it's certainly not longer which is the biggest problem I have with it.
According to this site the new 510 is actually shorter. Not sure what Joyetech/Wismec was thinking. I guess since they say using an atty with a pin that's too long voids the warranty, they really don't care.

The KP plastic washers came in and so far a single washer is all that I have needed to get my atomizers to sit on there better. I don't even notice it's there. I also put another SS316 clapton coil in my Avocado 24 and have been running it in TC mode getting a very good vape for the last few days. I used some 26/32 wire this time versus the 22/32 I used on the previous coil builds that were giving me fits. I dropped down to a 2.5 mm ID mostly for wicking the atomizer to suit how I vape. 8 wraps got it to .46 ohms and for some reason the device is burning that coil just fine.
Mine showed up today too. I love them so far. One is all I need on my rx200s to get the atomizer that had a gap to sit flush. Barely noticeable and keeps the mod scratch free. I like them so much I put them on my other mods too.
I got my RX200S earlier this week and also got a Black/Red RX200 yesterday and there does seem, at least between these two, a little difference in the 510 connection. I put my Tobeco Velocity on the RX200S and it screwed down smooth and sat flush, but when I tried on the new RX200 it sat flush, but that last twist or so was a bit tight. The 510 connection is a bit springier and has a more travel on the RX200S. I also have an RX200 that I have had since early December and the Velocity has always screwed down smooth and sat flush.
The difference was small, but noticeable, with my RX200S and new RX200, at least when using that RDA.

ordering a couple silicone sleeves for them also.Just wish they would invent a sleeve with velcro so it would be easy to open up to change batteries.maybe I will build one.Order a 5 pack just to have extras around just in case.I know I can widen the window for the rx200s..seems a pain to yank the sleeve off to change out batteries,on any mod

First 200S arrived today,second will be here tomorrow.lot smaller than thought or mah paws are bigger than thought.charging up some new he4's for it.several more on the way.so far itooks and feels great.hope it isn't DOA.lol.
Only been using my rx200s for a couple days and when I went to change the battery's the magnet off battery cover came off. It stayed stuck to the magnet on mod. Like wtf...brand new mod and already coming apart. I wasn't too happy but quick fix. Super glued it back in place. Good as new. Just has me worried about the rest of the mod. Hope this ain't a sign for things to come.
Yeah I like watching Daniel a lot. But every RX200 and Reuleaux DNA200 I ever measured came out to be 3.9mm/4.6mm. Even Wismec says it is 4.6mm. The only thing I can think of is that maybe those pre-production models are different. Or Daniel doesn't know how to measure.
You know Bill, I've thought about that a little bit. You could be right. I also wonder if it's a matter that the 510 connection Joyetech uses are not all the same (or huge tolerances). A lot of people can use a TFV4 without any problems but there are also a fair amount that have their 510 trashed by using one. I'm not a big fan of Joyetech because their quality control seems to be lacking and I also get the feeling they go with cheaper parts (cut corners) to keep costs low (crappy 510, thin wire, battery ripping circles instead of daughter board for reverse battery protection, etc - Talking abut the Reuleaux DNA200 on the last one). On top of all that their after sale customer service is virtually nonexistent.
Cheers,
Steve
I think when you force an atty that is longer than 4.6mm, it can either mush the bottom and/or crack the bottom. Sure it will probably work fine at first, but it is only going to get worse. And the pin is likely going to start sticking down. Then at some point the crack is going to get worse and no atty will likely work anymore.
