Why does EVERYONE seem to use the Wismex DNA200/ RX200?

Why did you send it for repair? You could just have fixed it like i did. I had to put in a RX battery sled so it does not rip them. The 510 sucks too so good move to upgrade that one as well.

It just blacked out, nothing..... And it was 29 days old...... I wanted to justify getting it fixed and not fucking with it to void the warranty.....

I'm just going to grind the little lip on the tray with my dremmel and I'm spraying the entire tray with rubber coating and installing a Varitube V2..... That's my first project.... Then I'm peeling and sanding the whole gray shit paint of and repainting the damb thing

Umm.. which one? There's 3 in that pic. :D

This is EXACTLY why quoting is a REALLY good idea, since I had no idea what pic you meant, and had to go track it down to the very first page of this thread. I think you must mean the red MiniBook that I posted on the first page.

But it may be very difficult if not impossible to find anymore of them; I haven't seen any red ones since shortly after I bought that, and now I'm finding it very hard to find a white one that doesn't come with a tank that I have ZERO use for.

Yeah I get it then. If the board is toast why pay $89 on top of $170+. That is adding insult to injury! My understanding is that you know how to do good work. It just seems that way to me. You should see what imbeciles do with a Dremel LOL. On the Wismec you can install the Varitube pin, no cutting. I really do not care what the outside of the 510 looks like unless the basket was paper thin. So the pin would push right through it. I have a pretty nice metal and wood shop because I am always building and upgrading things. For all my buddies too. I guess as an EE it is just my nature to improve shit. Last night I modified a sink hose sprayer. It is like a Damn fire hose now! The nice thing is used industrial equipment is pennies on the dollar.

Wait you said the fsk chip can't do what the rx chip? Lol come on man your kidding. Fsk chip is number 1 or 2 depending on preference with then dna 200, 3rd is yihi, wismec isn't even top 5. I'd take the smok chip before wismec too. Technically, the fsk does more wire then dna mods in TC mode since it can do kenthal, NiChrome, and mixtures, where the dna can't. The only negative on the fsk is the preheat isn't adjustable, and even then wismec just added that to the rx200 like a few days ago.

No I did not mean RX! I meant DNA has more control over settings. Lot's of dead DNA boards. I would not say Yihi is Third. They have features about the same as FSK and hardly ever hear of a dead board. Plus they are selling $300 mass produced Chinese mods. Someone is buying them. They might have the best 510 period on theit SX Mini series. Top notch Chinese stuff. In fact the only Chinese product I would not hesitate to recommend. I like Evolv for all the settings I can tailor to my liking. FSK and Yihi I would say is a tossup in quality and features. Since DNA boards have bit it more often They are first in features but Third in quality. I do not know if Yihi hits as hard as FSK but Powerful+ is plenty powerful. I agree fully that all the other Chinese chips are a distant Tenth. The RX is nice for the price but there is a reason the other Three cost more. Much more in fact. I would not discount Yihi though. It is top notch quality. The only thing I did not like is there video where they pulled 40 Amps plus out of 25 Amp batteries. You cannot safely do 200W with it maybe 133. These things are not idiot proof. You must use common sense. Just as I said just because a car can go very fast does not mean you should do so on public roads. Plenty of people do though. Just like they do stupid Ecig tricks. There is no stopping idiots but if you understand a mod it is fine. Them proving it can do 200W on 2x18650 was stupid quite frankly. Other than that I prefer DNA but Yihi and FSK are fine as well. I would say in their own way they could all vie for the top position. Depends on what your priorities are. There is no one fits all solution yet. Those are at the top though. I fully agree with that.

I have 2 DNA 200s, one with 3X18650 for 200W (which I never run at) and the other with the Lipo in but can swap out for a 2 battery 18650 sled for 133W use. I decided to go with the Lipo for now, as whenever it can no longer hold a charge I can throw in the sled, but this way don't have to worry about another set of married batteries to keep track of (and I don't have any other 2 battery mods, so no point in rotating).

I just got an RX200S delivered today so I could have an inexpensive multi-battery mod for out and about that I wouldn't feel awful about if something bad happened to it. I'd feel bad about the DNAs if I messed them up. This is a great option, and the build quality is surprisingly good for the price, and TC on SS out of the box works fine.

I went with this instead of the "newer" RX2/3, as I have no desire to keep married sets of 2 and 3 for a single mod, and already like the 3 battery form factor. It also offers the advantage of not having some of the swappable battery cover issues the 2/3 seems to have for some folks.

But a device that will hold large tanks, offers long battery life with 3 in place, and working temp control, the thing is a steal at $40. Now I'll check out that new firmware, although probably wait a bit for feedback from some early adopters before jumping on it to make sure it works right.
I did the updates, but then rolled both my 2/3 and 200S back to the original because I've heard issues with battery life being shortened by the updates. I don't vape over 150 watts and have no need for a custom logo so the old software is fine for me.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't even go over 75W so the 250W is meaningless. About the only feature I would be interested in would be the preheat punch. It's good to know you can roll back if it's not to your liking.

On the control issue of Evolv vs FSK I can see where you're coming from but I would not discount the amount of control Hohmtech offers its customers. While escribe does in fact offer many different types of control Hohmtech allows you to get a pretty dialed in vape without the use of a computer. To some vapers that is indeed a huge plus and to some it may even be a huge con but for the vapers that are not computer savy the FSK board is a more than viable option. Because of the 4 button configuration of the Hohmtech mods there is a bit of a learning curve but its not at all steep. The other benefit of owning a Hohmtech product is definitely the level of customer service they provide. When you call there a real person answers the phone. They're waranty work has a reasonably quick turn around time and it's done here in the USA. I had a problem with my Slice when the mod first came out. I was upset about a sticky firing button. Ben the President of Hohmtech actually got on the phone with me and handled my problem. Till this day he still drops me an email here and there to see how things are going. Try that with another company and see what happens. Since that day I have been a die hard Hohmtech supporter. I'm not saying they're perfect becuase they are from it but they listen, act, and care about their customers. In this day and age thats that's a rarity.

Manny you are awesome! You build damn good too. Too bad I don't know you since we are both Ethnic anyways.

No Mosfet on that. They have other means of amplifying current. A diode will blow with enough forward voltage too. Well, any fucking component will LOL.

The sarcasm on this board is it's downside. The other boards downside was that shit was strictly prohibited. I'll take you guys. Freedom of speech is pretty damn important. If I can not drop F-Bombs I need no part of it. As I said in another thread if it is allowed feel free to even use the N-word. I am not offended because it is just the fucking internet. A hell of a lot better than all the Pedo forums. That shit is not any kind of funny to me. Use any word but causing bodily harm or even discussing it is complete bullshit to me.

Anyways I mentioned in another thread I am sick of mods that suck or I have to re engineer. What is the best Damn mod I can obtain now? I have strong preference for DNA but will try FSK if suggested over DNA. Hopefully I could get American made. That means nothing though because Hana is pure crap. I am actually thinking of Yihi G+? Price is nuts though. I really do not know what is a good mod anymore. The Wismec You have to rebuild the damn thing. I rarely go over 100W anyways. I do like big run time and swapable batteries. I am just bringing this up because as it stands, out of the box the Wismec requires improvements. I have done so and then some but It is like Frankenstein. No longer built by the manufacturer.
Hohm wrecker g2. American designed. The warranty shop is in california. And the device is bullet proof and will temp control anything and it's 65 bucks on ecig.com

Yeah, Evolv is starting to only service the board. As they should quite frankly. So you have to know how to take your board out and send it to them. Or deal with the Chinese idea of CS.

I'm looking at your screen and see the resistance is locked. Do you always lock it on your 200? I'm curious because on the 200S I leave it unlocked as I do on my DNAs and it works fine.
The resistance bounces up and down between Vapes, sometimes .16 sometimes .18 by locking it for example on .18 there is no bouncing of ohms giving you an equal consistent Vape the same all the time.

I've emailed them at 1 AM and gotten a lucid answer. Once followed by another email with follow up info that was useful as well.
Nobody gives support like Hohmtech. Nobody.

Two weeks ago, I was wrestling with myself, trying to get over the fugly look of the Hohmtech, ( and I'm not normaly an asthetic conscious guy) enough to buy one, and then, I loaded some custom firmware on my RX200S that transformed it to the point that my DNA 200 Realeaux has now been donated.

I agree that is rare in this day and age, and I am truly happy for you that you enjoy it that much. We should all be that lucky.
I do, however, have the funny feeling that I've seen your modfather tank on a daily basis as much, if not more, than you.:headbang:
:p ;) :D
You could also use it as a boat anchor for safe keeping. No one will find your investment down there!
Just busting your balls a little, lol.
And based on all the different places the pics are in, that thing gets around more than a $2 whore!
