Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Reuleaux Tinker 2 200W TC MOD from Wismec. The Wismec Reuleaux Tinker 2 200W TC MOD was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ella from Sourcemore.

Introduction
The Tinker 2 is a dual 18650 device and shares the same sneaker type appearance as the original Tinker while having a form factor which most reminds me of the Geekvape Aegis legend. Like the Aegis series of devices and the Jackeroo from Vandyvape the Tinker 2 joins the IP67 club bringing us a durable device that is dustproof, waterproof and shockproof. Powered by the advanced Avatar Chip which brings us super fast firing response time the Tinker 2 gives up to 200W in power while also boasting a full TC suite. The Tinker 2 enters a club that already features some impressive devices so let's see how the Tinker 2 stacks up!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Reuleaux Tinker 2 came in a very large cardboard box with cardboard sleeve with a picture of the device in the chosen colour on the front. The box is so big because they are using the same boxes for both the kit and device only so i had certain empty sections. I received the Titanium Grey version, the colour options are Titanium Grey, Black, Blue Purple and Red, in my opinion the picks are the Titanium Grey and Blue Purple options.
The device maintains the sneakers look that the original Tinker has so no surprise it bears the same name but as a form very similar to the Aegis Legend with a bracket and curved leather spine. The device has a light switch style fire button and lower navigational buttons on an upward slant. We have a large cutout section for the screen but plenty of real estate wasted and the colour screen is smaller than ideal. Up top we have the Reuleaux logo to one side and the specially watertight 510 towards the spine, the 510 is Gold plated and spring loaded.
The device apart from the leather spine is an all Zinc alloy construction but the metal must be thick as it's an heavy device and quite large. The large C frame like form is ergonomically friendly and the build quality is the best i have known from Wismec.

Waterproof, Dustproof and Shockproof
The Reuleaux Tinker 2 has the same IP67 rating as the Aegis series of mods making it an extremely durable device and although no-one including Wismec will suggest going diving with it or throwing the device from a 9th floor window you would have to go some to break the device by accident. The device's IP rating means it will withstand being immersed in water up to 1 meter in depth for up to 30 mins and there's some clever ways the Tinker 2 is kept sealed like having a silicone bung for the USB port, fitting membrane seals underneath venting holes and having a leakproof designed 510 connector. An IP rating only covers the waterproof and dustproof credentials of a device and although the Tinker 2 seems very solid it is essentially a whole metal construction unlike the Aegis Mods that are made from 6 different materials including thick army grade silicone which gives it most of it's shockproof protection. So just how shockproof the Tinker 2 is i'm not over convinced about and for certain if dropping it will scuff up a lot more than the Aegis Mods.

Fitting The Batteries
The Tinker 2 accommodates dual 18650 batteries that get fitted via the bottom battery hatch door. We have a strong grooved catch which needs pulling back to allow the door to open on it's spring. The catch is sturdy and needs quite a strong pull and also closing the door takes a bit of effort but for me not really a con because to keep this kind of design waterproof it has to be done this way and it does make it extremely secure so no chance of this door opening on it's own. The door design is the same as seen on the Aegis Legend and Aegis X, we also have decent venting which has a membrane seal to keep the battery compartment watertight. Battery orientation is labelled in white so happy with that, overall a good job and no complaints!

The Display
The display is very colourful but not the brightest and for a colour display quite small being about the same size as the display on a DNA device.
Throughout the menu all information is in a decent size font and displayed in lists so no issues there but on the main working screen certain information is in very small font and although i could read the information perfectly well i have good eyesight and i can see some people struggling.
Top left we have the day and then to the right the date, underneath within a circular design we have either the wattage or temperature depending which mode you are in. Further down we have what looks like the face of a sign post which displays the subpara top which is amps by default and resistance underneath. Finally at the bottom of the display we have the two battery status bars, one either side although more accurate battery status is obtainable within the menu system. When pressing fire the wattage or temperature is replaced by the time of your puff and real time wattage.
