Hi All, Anthony Vapes back here with my review of the Wismec Sinuous V200 Mod. Please see bottom for disclaimers and links. Note: This is marked as a sample.
Introduction:
The Wismec Sinuous V200 is one of the latest mods (along with the V80 i’ll be reviewing tomorrow) from long time vape manufacturer Wismec. For anyone who isn’t aware, they are a sub brand of Joyetech (along with eleaf as well) so have been around many years most famous for their jaybo RX line of products. I’ve reviewed a ton of their stuff over the past 2 years and sadly can’t really say much good about them these days as they have fallen way behind the curve compared to other companies and maybe like 1 out of every 10 mods is decent but haven’t really made anything worth running out to get in a long time so we’ll see if the V200 can change that. The V200 is a dual 18650 battery mod rated at 200 watts. It’s available in 4 colors Black, Red, Green, and Magenta. It comes in a kit with the Armor NSE tank which i’ll go over in the review tomorrow for the V80 kit. Looking around online I see the mod for around 30-35 USD and the kit for around 40-45 USD. Elementvape has the kit for 39.95 black only in stock in the US.

Initial Impressions and features
When I first got to see this mod I didn’t really know what to think. On one hand it was nice to see them go back to basics without having a bluetooth speaker or anything, but on the other hand I didn’t see any upgrades to the menu or screen which is pretty badly outdated these days plus the whole mod itself is plastic. So overall wasn’t very impressed from the start
Watt Mode Performance (chart and spreadsheet in picture album)
Now let’s get into some data. I ran my normal testing. I used Sony VTC5A batteries for the testing. Testing resistances were done at .12, .15, .21, and .61 ohms. wattage points were max (200), 150, 100, 75, 50 and 25. At .12 ohms it maxed out at 178 watts and 39 amps. For the rest of the testing it struggled quite a bit which isn’t uncommon but not the norm either. At 100+ it was 11-27 watts low and under 100 1-8 watts low, so not great but usable under 100 watts for sure. At .15 it maxed out at 184 watts. The rest of the testing here again a bit of a struggle, at over 100 watts it was 24-27 watts low and 100 or less 1-10 watts low. For the .21 test it maxed out at 177 watts. For the rest of the tests again some struggle, at 100 or more watts 11-23 watts low, under 100 watts 2-7 watts low. For the .61 testing it maxed out at 86 watts and 7.258 volts. Also worth noting due to the pre-programmed 8V limit in the mod it would only allow me to set it as high as 104.9 watts but it didn’t reach that. For the rest of the testing it was a little high 1-4 watts. The volts shows there is no boost circuit in this mod like most dual battery mods which isn’t a big deal as it’s not needed, but nice when they have one.
Overall I felt the performance of this mod was decent at best. It struggled with 100 or more watts across the board and also struggled in the .15-.21 range where most mods due their best. I was able to get 184 watts max, so it is a little overrated but nothing too bad. The 7.258 volt limit shows there is no boost circuit but not needed here. Their manual list a voltage limit of 8V which is plausible and close enough, they don’t list an amp limit and I wish they would list all 3 personally. On this mod and the most amps i got was 39 with a .12 ohm coil which is average for a dual 18650 mod. The most volts i got is 7.258 which is again pretty average for a non boost dual battery mod. Personally If i was listing the specs I’d call the mod 185 watts, 7.5V and 39A. So overall just ok performer and close enough ratings.
Simplified TLDR Power Performance summary
Mod performance is just decent overall. Close enough rated for watts (184), No boost circuit but not required, good amp limit of 39. Hits a little weak mostly especially at lower resistances and 100 or more watts
Temperature Control Performance
Using SS316 wire and SS mode, i’ll keep this pretty short and sweet. The 1st build i tried was a simple round dual coil build and it was wonky and inconsistent for a few hours and i had to keep fiddling with the temp and then it kicked me out and at that point, wan’t any more work to be done really. Typical wismec TC and 0 improvements on it over the past 3 years despite me dinging them in every review which is a little sad and a little frustrating. Not a mod i’d recommend for TC.
