I have about 80 and want to get something decent and not sure what to buy. I ordered a Reuleaux 200 S but returned it due to varied ohm readings. They asked if I wanted a store credit or a refund. Since it took 3 weeks to finally finish this process. I am just going to look for something else. I do want temp control for future builds and something over 150watts. I saw an add for the Sigelei 213 and have been considering that for 75. But when I go to do any research, there is far to much to consider.

So, do i just go for the Reuleaux or find something better ? Because really, the only attraction for the Reuleaux was that battery life. Ive been vaping for 2 years and spinning my own coils. Its like all my mods took a crap on me.

Never had a issue with my RX200, it is my go to. You do get lemons every once in a while on all China mods because of poor quality control. The RX200 is pretty inexpensive now, here is one on ebay for $41.48 Free Shipping http://vaporjoe.blogspot.com/2016/06/usa-in-stock-authentic-wismec-reuleaux.html

I'd get a Hcigar VT133 (DNA200) for ~$80 with a coupon code from Ecig.com. It's a great mod at a great price. I ended up buying 3 of them.

Cheers,
Steve
Ditto on the VT133. It's my favorite DNA.

The VT133 has a better board (DNA200), better 510 connector, more pocket friendly, etc. Heck a DNA200 board costs ~$80 by itself. Your call, but I know what I would do (I should have said did).

Cheers,
Steve

How big is the VT133 compared to other 2 battery mods? I have several mods but one more wouldn't hurt. I was looking at the 26650 DNA75 mods, I just seems to remember they're just a little smaller than the VT133.

In this post @Deucesjack has a couple of pictures of it next to a Coolfire IV TC 100 (iirc).

I measured mine at just a hair over 3.1/2 inches tall by about 2 1/4 inches across.

PS It's definitely smaller than my IPV3 Li but I don't have a picture. I can take one if you would like.

Cheers,
Steve

it is smaller than the ipv without a doubt, its not much bigger than y vaporshark, which is known for making mods as small as can possibly be.

I just got the Eleaf 200w and iot is the same board as the RX200 and its cheaper and feels better in the hand and I like the mode button. It is basically a Eleaf 100TC upgraded to 200w. They are all over online from 30 dollars plus. It's a steal. I use mine as a back up mod.

Wasn't the sig213 having TC problems?
He's talking about the new Sig 213, which they also named the Sig 213 Fuchai and supposedly fixed everything. Real shitty move by Sig.

I heard the the 213 was having TCR issues but I'm not sure if that has to do with Sig not intially telling people that they were using different values. As far as TC goes, mine works great using the 316L setting. It's smooth and consistent with no pulsing whatsoever. I've done dry cotton burn test as well as wet cotton and it has no issues. Other than my Vaporshark, the 213 does TC better than all of my other mods; much better than the joytech and IPV's.

I have more than my fair share of mods but the one I find myself using everyday is the SMY 60 TC Mini.

Which I use in Wattage mode as I am still not a fan of the TC moment. But each to their own.

IMHO, it has it all.

You can swap out your own 18650 series batteries.

The mod will also recharge them and will act as a passthrough device.

Nice bright readout including the time and date.

Rounded corners and it feels good in your hand.

It also is small enough to share my shirt pocket with my cellphone.

Can also be had for under $45.

I'd avoid the Sigelei 213.
I just had the displeasure of having one for about a week.
TCR with SS430 didn't regulate the temp. 200F vaped the same as 420F. No other mod I own will do that.
The TCR memories are not all enabled, has 5 slots, 3 work.
The TCR values you need are on their website in a lousy design calculator. It give you 5 digits. The mod accepts 4.

Luckily, I have amazing powers of persuasion when it comes to vendors and my money. I was able to return it.

I'm now anxiously awaiting an HCigar VT133.
It has excellent hands-on marks from forum users. As I have learned, that's the most important criteria when thinking about a mod or tank.

Can't go wrong with a Vt133.

Absolutely and with all your help, I have decided on the clear winner, the VT133. I ordered the RX200S for my home mos, at 41 bucks shipped, why not ? But my travel vape will be the VT133, no doubt.

You guys are awesome, thanks again.

All I can say is
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR...
I had 3 rx200 never had problems well except for the 510 and .1 limit
I sold them all
The current owners are very happy with them, if you gonna buy a cheap mods make sure it's not the only one you use, have a rotation of mods, you prevent wear n tear that way...
