I have been tracking that thread for 3 weeks now, my phone got tired and quit sending me email notifications about it. I'm really curious if anyone who has downloaded it has experienced any problems. After the 1.08 my Stealth Mode became intermittent and my mod will misfire periodically at all levels of charge. When this happens the battery level indicator reads dead and then it comes back up and fires fine. I reported it to Wismec (no response yet), but I'm sure I'm not the only one, so does this update fix all of that as well as give me SS TC options that I probably won't use since I don't Vape SS TC.
Dude, you can always turn off email notifications....
Keep this thread if you want
IM Just saying, if u want the Infos
That's the thread u wanna subscribe...
Just saying... It's going on right now, it's all bout TCR SS MODE, I don't use TEMP mode It's doesn't apply to me although I own 2 of these badboys
VAPE ON
I never turned off my email notifications, I just stopped getting them. If you actually go back to like page 2-4 you will see where I brought up the issues I just explained.Dude, you can always turn off email notifications....

No issues with the update.
Adds tcr and corrects value to 316 wire for standard ss mode.
All the info you need is on the last page of the rx200 thread.
If you don't go to the thread from the email notification a couple times it will stop sending notifications until you visit the thread again. Then after you visit thread you are back in notifications

I'm using Sigelei 35A rewraps The batteries are all good and read 4.07 + if you turn off the RX200 and hold both up/down and fire all at the same time for 5 sec it will give you a battery read out for each cell.
Never mind i see it. No update for the mac yet?
It isn't the voltage, it's the constant discharge rating which your's could be around 10a where a a25r is 20a.
Any of your friends have 2 r's or HE2/4 that you could try?
I had these tested by a buddy who has an electronics repair shop, they test out at 20a constant.
That has to be the 1st rewrap to test @ 20a constant. If you dont have a friend that has the other cells mentioned, then I guess you won't know if that's the issue.
Mine has a rattle if I shake it hard... don't shake it hard and you won't have that rattle

No issue yet, but still don't know how to adjust wattage on M function.

Ni200 should be around .0052 where ss is .00092. Why not just use the Ni mode though?
You can just set the temp around 500 and keep pushing tcr higher till you get the heat you want and adjust temp from there to fine tune.
Nichrome 80 most likely won't work if that's the wire you're asking about. The chip would have to be super sensative to pick up the resistance change with that wire.

Because TCR is concerned with the delta (rate of change) in ohms with the change in temperature for a particular wire. The TCR settings for the RX200 should be the actual TCR of the metal times 10 raised to the fifth power. I use 304 SS so my TCR setting should be 0105 and that, as it turns out, is just about perfect on mine.
Oh, sorry. I got confused somewhere along the line...again...typical.
I would find the tcr they used in that thread and start there. You may need to go a little higher based on what I am seeing using the rx200 in trc mode with stainless wire.
Set to what they say, set your temp to 500° and keep pushing the tcr number higher untill you get a warm vape and then you can adjust temp from there to fine tune your vape.

Yeah, I stopped shaking it. I noticed it due to a stuck bubble. I am ordering new batteries this weekend anyway, that was already on the agenda. Orbtronics has authentic VCT5's.That has to be the 1st rewrap to test @ 20a constant. If you dont have a friend that has the other cells mentioned, then I guess you won't know if that's the issue.

Lots of debate on the vtc5's.
Sony hasn't said they are making them again from what I've seen so if those are authentics then they are well over a year old and Lithium batterys have a shelf life.
I would pick up some green 25r's from imrbatteries.com for $6 if it were me.

Correction, $5 since they are out of stock but they restock really fast so probably a 2 day delay.

Sony has made no bones about the fact that they Do Not support the vaping community, or the use of electronic tobacco alternatives. It would not make any sense for a multi billion dollar corporation to stop making a great product, for no reason, however what does make sense is to leak it to the vaping community that they are, so we would stop buying them. They make a fortune selling those batteries to electronics companies including themselves. Think about it. Cordless Power Tools, Cumputers, Mining and Drilling Industry, etc... All use 18650 batteries. Hell, I have a set of Walkies setting on my desk now, that have them in them.
All that being said, I will check out imr, I'm not overly picky about it, I just want a decent product that will get me from point A to point B, consistently, and without hassle.
100% right. Why wouldn't they want any possibility of a lawsuit because a noob was chuckin clouds with his bad ass 0.1ohm build on a mech.
They stopped production about 2 years ago from memory and from their own web page have not started production again. I think their factory was near the nuke reactor that took a shit and they closed the plant. There have been rumors of them starting back up but no word from sony so I have to assume any vtc5 out there is old stock.
Lots of other choices there too like he4's but 25r's are my preference.

Like I said, I'm not overly picky. I know that there are lots of really good products out there, and I will buy from a reputable seller, that has the best price on the best product for the money. I have been doing my homework on this.
I don't think you're going to find better pricing than at imr but let me know if you do... besides ebay fakes or some unknown place of course
I'm not married to imr and would love to buy from lions(sp?) since hes a VU member if the prices were the same and would buy elsewhere but I haven't found authentics for less.

ATM it seems they are preparing for a custom TCR with the M1 and such. 3 click menu up or down to select mode. fire to confirm 4 clicks to change wattage in temp modes and temp is the primary attribute but no way i see to change tcr yet. but much cleaner response.
From the main page "Customized TCR(Temperature Coefficient of Resistance)Mode
Newly Added TC-SS316 Mode
Optional TC-Ni/TC-Ti/VW Mode"
from a reddit at that https://www.reddit.com/r/electronic_cigarette/comments/40wzwd/rx200_new_firmware_30/
"Switch off, hold fire and up button
up and down selects memory, fire button toggles to allow adjusting TCR
Also to flip display now while unit is off hold up and down for 5 secs"
"Turned it off and pressed and held power + up and that got to me a screen with m1, scroll up and down to cycle through 1-3. Press power on any of them to then set a number between 0001 - 1000 using the up and down keys. Power to set. That then becomes a preset. When you scroll through the menu next time after clicking power 3 times m1-3 have turned into temperature m1-3. So I am assuming being able to set a number of that kind of value is temperature coefficient how ever I'm not 100% sure exactly"
For those confused when you see a TCR online like .00019 in the TCR setting move the decimal over on to the right. when setting so you would have 0019 just an example

I've updated and so far I'm a very happy camper. The SS temp control works better than ever and the new menu layout is a big improvement over the original.
So basically this is the same same as the newest Evic Mini update. An improvement! More options including M1-M3 with manually settable TCR. Guess I'll hafta get onboard and join the fun. Thanks Humans.

Sooo... I downloaded the Wismec 3.0 update from their site. They only show that update under the Windows logo but I downloaded it on a mac! It works!
I now have v3.0 on my RX200.

if thats the case not wrong with going back and applying them in order. but the new control is 3 clicks to menu selection then use up or down to select mode the fire to confirm
Thank you for responding. DUH, LOL. I got it now, was trying the old 3 click way haha, didn't know or think to use the up button to switch modes! Mahalo!
SS temp mode doesn't seem to work good for me though still yet with the 3.0 update. In nickel mode with my smok tct, it works great, 510 degrees Fahrenheit at 55W. Tried in SS mode with my joyetech cubis and it sucks. I put it on the same temp and the mod goes straight to temperature control mode, with little to no output. Does better in wattage mode at 30W with this tank. Any suggestions?
