I'm looking to get my second mod and i can't decide on which to get.. Im really liking the minikin, sigelie213 and the rx200s. can anyone give their experiences on these mods? i know the 200s hasn't come out yet but it does look really nice.

I only vape between 60-85W so all of these mods would fit well for what I vape at.

Of the ones you mentioned I have the Minikin and the earlier version of the RX200 (the original one). The RX200 has terrific battery life with its 3 18650s, and I use that one at home all the time. The Minikin is also a great, and small, dual battery mod. I use them both in regular wattage mode though with stainless steel, so I can't comment on the TC aspect of either.

I've seen a few comments about the new Sigelei having some issues, so you might check around before making a final decision.

I'm going to add one more mod you might want to consider adding to your list. You can get a Hcigar VT133 for ~$83 from Ecig.com with coupon code: ILOVEYOU. I have one with 2 more on the way. It uses a DNA200 chip, has 8 profiles, can be set up to TC any wire you can think of (with either TCR's or curves). It runs off of 2 x 18650's and goes up to 133 watts. IMO it's a real bargain at that price since the chip alone sells for ~$80.

Cheers,
Steve

i don't use TC so I don't care for that function on all mods

I'd take the Sigelei213 off your list for now. Search the forums here, or use google. Someone posted a video about issues with the Sigelei 213, everything from TCR mode not working at all, TFR working sometimes, screen corruption/garbled, misfiring - doesn't fire when you press the button...Someone burnt their throat, when the mod dropped out of Temperature Control mode, and into wattage mode while they were vaping.... There may be more, but that's what I remember.... Vapenw.com posted information about Sigelei changing their policy, and ALL warranty issues would be handled by a Sigelei warranty center in California. A coincidence, I doubt it as it was within about 24-48 hours of the video being posted...So, anyone that purchased thrus VapeNW and has issues with the Sigelei 213 no longer has a 30 warranty thru Vapenw.com the authorized Sigelei reseller, and must deal instead with the warranty center in California. Anyway I'd do a bit of searching and reading about what's going on before buying one.

The poster of the video has been in contact with Sigelei USA, they are supposed to contact Sigele China, and get back to the poster sometime Friday.

So, hopeful there will be some news then....

yeah the price was a little high for me anyways. I'm in canada and its 150$ but I really like the astetics of the asmodus minikin and the sigelei fuchai. the rubberized body is appealing to me. my cuboid is all scuffed up now haha.

Yeah, that is high....I'm not sure if your into DNA mods, but there are two on sale at ecig.com, the vt133, and the dx200. vt133 is dual 18650, dna200, 133watts since it's dual 18650. The DX200 is a 900Mah LIPO, but the have an optional 1300Mah pack, and an optional dual 18650 pack.

Both mods are about the same $88.xx, but there is a code floating around for either 5% or 10% off. Both are awesome deals, for DNA devices. I have the DX200, and love it, and against my better judgement will probably get another, since I can't beat $83.00, and a spare would be nice....Oh, the DX200 does have a rubberized texture. It's tiny in my opinion for a DNA200, BUT it's only 900Mah...So, at wattage's higher than about 50, it will drain pretty fast....The optional packs do make it quite a bit larger.....

Out of the list you provided, I would go with the RX200S, but I am a fan of the Wismec chipset. That said, I'm with @Wingsfan0310 and @TechnoGeek on the VT133, for $83 you can't go wrong! If you don't want to use TC then you don't have to, just set it to power mode. If you change your mind, then you can switch it back. I just had some gear stolen, and need to replace my tanks (I have enough mods, but no tanks). If I didn't, I would probably buy the VT133, it's a steal at that price.

I would like to also recommend avoiding the Sigelei 213. I wanted it myself until all the problems started surfacing.

If you can afford to wait, these all look pretty intriguing too, VTwo Mini, VT75, eGrip 2, and the RX75. These should all be available soon if they aren't already out.

Good luck picking something out, there are TONS of choices now!

I like my Fuchai, but as DevAuto said, a ton of new devices will be hitting the market in the next few weeks. Choices are going to just get tougher. Just find a device you think looks good and satisfies your vape needs at a price point you can afford.

I support local business as much as possible, when it is economical. At $100 for these mods in your local B&M, you are truly paying them for the convenience of having it same day. A quick google search will find both of these mods at a substantial savings on the internet. In fact the Fuchai can be found for about $45, less than half the price! Perhaps you can talk the local B&M into a substantial discount. Because of B&M overhead costs, you probably won't get a price match, but just maybe they will work with you on the pricing if you ask them.

If you can't wait, then I would personally recommend the Minikin. I find it very difficult to get behind any Sigelei products right now, for two primary reasons.

1. The debacle over the 213.

2. The changes to how the Sigelei warranty is handled, "Starting 5/13/2016 VapeNW is no longer able to accept back any Sigelei product(s) per request of Sigelei’s new policy changes. For any issues with your Sigelei product(s) you will need to contact Sigelei’s warranty service directly."

Good luck, HTH!

With the Deeming FDA regs that go into effect in August (USA), nothing new can be released without FDA approval (like that's going to happen). With that in mind, a lot of us expect to see a ton of equipment released between now and then.

Cheers,
Steve

Out of those 3 I would go for the RX. I would take the Hcigar VT133 over all of them put together. I would would stay away from the Sig because as someone else mentioned people are having problems with the chip and to be honest no one really knows if it is even upgradeable. No upgrades for me is an absolute deal breaker. Can't comment on the Minikin because I never owned one. If you only vape in power mode ecig.com is selling the Hohm Wrecker G2 for like $70. She's real ugly but she is a beast. Best regulated mod I ever used in power mode and she TC's any wire but there is a learning curve with this mod.

I have 3 Rx200 so won't buy the Rx200s just for screen very good mods. You should also look into HΩ Wrecker G2...

You have to admit though, besides the larger screen, they also improved the 510 connection. Re., the Hohm Wrecker, the Hohm Slice looks interesting too!

yes on the 510 connection but I never had any problems with the old ones. When you Vape on the Hohm Wrecker G2 man so many flavors notes I couldn't get off the Rx200. The G2 Vape is killer imho. When I looked at it for the first time I was what an ugly box lol Now I'm like what an ugly lil beast she is. Come to Daddy hahaha

The HCigar VT133 is my EDV and really has been my favorite mod that I have owned. The DNA chip is great for TC and the if you just want to run in power mode then it works great for that too. That deal with ecig.com is a really good buy and if I wasn't downsizing and moving, I would buy a couple more. I guess I will just have to leave that to @Wingsfan0310 who can now open up his own DNA200 gallery. :):)

I had a vt200 very nice in the hand battery life sucked so between the two I'd say VT 133

I use the VT200 as a backup mainly or at work where I can keep it plugged in while vaping. Great mod but I like the ability to replace the batteries in the VT133.
