Reuleaux RX 200.

[OneBadWolf]

charging via USB from anything below 1/2 battery level is going to be an all day affair.

Granted, this might not be a good idea without alert dogs, working smoke detectors, the safety features built into the power supply and being a natural light sleeper, but I think I'll be alright doing it this way.

I wrote this in the other thread:

Ok. put the meter on the RX200, it is drawing just under 1 amp when charging. Divided by 3, for the number of batts, each batt is charging @ about 300 ma. This will give very good battery life, but take quite a while to charge.

I'm actually happier about this rate, as it is unlikely to stress the chip too much. Compare the size of a ciruit board in a intelligent external charger, and then the board in a typical mod, and the charger board dwarfes the mod board. The mod board has a lot more functions to accomplish than the charger board, so why are charger boards bigger? They are bigger because they need components capable of handeling hight current to achieve faster charge rates, and to do that, those components that run at higher current/temperatures need to be bigger, and thermal protection and heatsinking need to be design considerations. At lower current, not so much.

I will continue to USB charge the RX, overnight once in a while, using a 750 ma usb charger. that gives me about 25% headroom for the charger circuit. I think its fine with this mod, and the RX is the only mod I will USB charge so far.

I'm not going to weigh in on overnight USB charging. Do it however you want. My personal observations are that USB charging is slower than Christmas and the case is a bit warm during said charge. For me? I'm going to charge my batteries in a sled and take the time savings back. That's all. Not saying one way is correct over the other.

Looking to pick up the rx , where did you find the white black .? I have been unable to locate it at my usual vendors .

 

[OneBadWolf]

The RX also balance charges, each cell is charged seperatly, yet simultaneously, and the RX chip will indicate any imbalance. This is basially the same system that a laptop uses to charge its battery pack, which contains 6-8 18650 batts. Charging the batts externaly in a charger that delivers 1 amp per batt will be at least 3X faster though.

I posted this video someplace else, guy here claims something off with the rx balance charging. Not sure where it is in the video, but it might be worth a look.
I don't own one, just looking out bro.

It's at 26:15. Start around 26:00 to be safe. That's just me quickly scanning it. I'll watch the whole thing when I have more time and update the post if needed.

Edit @24:18 the battery talk starts for the RX200

Just do what I just did. Order a white one and swap the parts

 

[OneBadWolf]

I'd allready watched the vid, and that is why I put the meter on mine. I placed shims between the batts and the contacts so I could clip the meter leads on, and mine at least does balance charge, but only up to about 4.18 as opposed to 4.22 with my external charger. In the video, he didn't say what sort of power supply was delivering the juice to the USB cord, I found the device will only draw a max current of just under 1 amp charging, but needs more than 500 ma to charge properly. That is why I settled on my 750ma charger. it harges the batts within about .02 of each other, and I tested that with mis-matched batts as well, same result. the mods voltage readings, and the ones I get on the Fluke are virtually the same. The RX does get warm during charging, much less warm at 750ma. Not as warm though as my external charger, and the batts are cooler. I have a laser thermometer, so in the next few days I'll take some readings. I have been using mine since the morning, and the batts are reading 4.11 4.13 and 4.15.

Thanks for that. I'll pay extra close attention going forward and run some tests myself. An ounce of prevention is worth something-something.

Whose a clucker?

Pretty sure it's ecig city that's got the black & white.
That's what I would have gotten if I didn't have shinyitis strike and needed a rx200 same day at vapordna.

I had a moment of weakness really early this a.m. and rolled the dough out on an RX200 and a TFV4 mini full kit. Please tell me I won't regret this. Lol

Btw... Leave it to the dude I've never heard of in the video to crap on everyone's RX200 love fest with his report of "shitty wiring". I'm just gonna vape the hell out of mine until the damn thing blows up. It was $45. I'll buy another one.

I paid a bit more to walk out at my local Vape Shop, I know they are less online, but my online trust level is almost nonexistent. As for the guy in the video, in the end we can all take our busted RX200s and stone his ass with them, because this thing is like a brick. I will keep it over carpet until I get use to the weight.

 

[gtrovil]

It's funny to me that people that maybe have been reviewing via video for a year or so find it necessary to take a new to market mod apart and then bitch about it. However, they don't take apart something that's been revered for years and poke it's shitty wiring. So really there's no point of reference except the here and now. I like the stoning idea. Er...AFTER we all make warranty claims of course.

I make a point of vaping using alternate hands, so I don't end up looking like a fiddler crab.

I purchased my black and white RX200
( they call it the Oreo Edition)
from vvpor.com.
They had it for $50.99. I received it in 3 days.
I've noticed they now list it for $79.99.
Don't know why it increased in price.
Maybe I caught a sale???

 

[Wingsfan0310]

A new firmware 1.08 version has been released. Looks like the font has been changed. Other than that, I'm not sure if anything else has been.

They should call it
LAPD edition, that COLOR combo is ugly, they just mix n match the covers that's all they did... AND it's not WISMEC OFFICIAL RELEASE, I believe ECIGCITY was selling it for 69.99...
LOL, are you kidding me!!!

I'm sure a new firmware has been released. Since I don't have the mod I'm really not sure what has been changed. However, this was posted on another forum I frequent:
.

The website doesn't give any info about this upgrade...I'm sure people users will start talking about this

[Flightmedic76]

Downloaded the upgrade, but it will only let me keep 1.07. It's either user error or the download is buggy...

 

[Ben-Rod]

Fuck it, how bad could it be..? I'm sure they're just gonna keep making it better and better...off to find my usb cable....

 

[Ben-Rod]

I bet it changes it from the Chinese lookin font and makes it more " American" looking....

 

[Flightmedic76]

Ok, it worked...I made sure all other previous 1.07 stuff was deleted from my computer first. Not sure I can tell any difference though.

 

[Deucesjack]

Did my upgrade. No issues.

I found a site that sells replacement glass of all colors for the Crown tank, but I can't remember it...dam

 

[fq06]

Yeah, it's a small and cheap thing but to me it just takes a tank over the top. Blue, smoked, pink for the ladies, whatever, but it's different than most others you will see on the street or hanging at your local vape store.

FastTech has an 8 pack and 5 pack, each with assorted colors. I haven't used them, I just saw it on their site.

Moreover, the upgradeable firmware will make you keep up with the vaping evolution. lol

What is quite nice about the Wisemec firmware tool, is the option to downgrade easily, if the new update is crap. Just updated. Have I evolved?

No update needed.....
My two vape awesome straight outa the mail... don't need to update as I don't use TC at all. To me temperature control is overrated big time, I love my mods as is, they keep me tobacco free, and of course, that's why I started vaping in the first place.. not putting down other folks who might like TC, I'm saying I'm just not one of them,

Yep, the mini with SS triton coils. Great taste and you don't have to run them at 100w+ sucking more power. Tobeco coils suck but the SS tritons in TC rock.

@Wingsfan0310 that's like having more than 1 pair of sneakers to go out in. High fashion

Doing the upgrade later today, hope they got rid of that slight lag to fire.

just updated the 1.07 to 1,08....might be me but display seems brighter and firing delay is gone...cheers

 

[fq06]

That rocks, I emailed them about the delay when we were discussing it in this thread last week. To me the biggest sin for a mod is a delay to fire.
Not sure if they listened or if the delay elimination was coming already, would be cool if they actually listen to the users.

Either way, glad to hear the delay is dead

 

[OneBadWolf]

To me the biggest sin for a mod is a delay to fire.

On any mod where the fire button controls other parameters, there has to be some delay. I found no difference in firing after the update. If it fired any faster, I'd be sending Morse Code smoke signals when I went to change mode, ot lock the mod.

 

[ej1024]

Hahaha, you guys will be annoyed by the KOOPOR DELAY 0.02 seconds

[fq06]

350j chip fires instantly, using the fire button to select functions besides fire is not the issue.

It's not the end of the world. Most mods out there will have at least one thing that is not exactly as you want. This is still a kick ass product at a bitchin price
