1.07??Just got the RX200, nice looking mod but as someone already mentioned in this thread the battery door is a little more hard to get off then the DNA200 version. I am thinking this is because of the finish which is rougher.
Another thing I noticed pretty quick is that the RX200 gets warm when used, seams to be coming from the front around the board. It is not hot by any means and I wasn't too worried about it but the DNA200 version stays relatively cool no matter how much you use it. I went ahead and removed the TFV4 from the RX200 and put it on the DNA200 and used the same wattage. The DNA200 stays cool with the same tank and watts and I have vaped it 3 times as long as I did with the RX200 before it got warm.
Here is some vape porn for ya:
The fit and finish on the RX200 is not as nice as the DNA200 which doesn't have the same gaps. You can see in the second pic how the bottom front of the RX200 sticks out a little. The front panel is not on as nicely, sticking out a little on one side and recessed a little on some spots. There is also a little gap on the top of the battery door. I am just nit picking though as I am sure some people will ask, doesn't really bother me though as I have my OCD in check.I do like the matte finish on the RX200 though, feels comfortable.
Using the RX200 is pretty simple which I like, simpler than the DNA200. Tried a RDA with Ti and it at first registered the resistance and I locked it but when I went to use it the RX200 said atomizer too low and when I went to look again it wasn't reading the resistance anymore. Not sure what that was about but I took off the RDA and popped on the Crown with SS coils. Tried the SS TC and it worked but I like the power mode so much better, I probably need to set it up better but with the same wattage and bumping up the temp until I liked it the power mode it just more preferable to me. I might swap out the coil on my TFV4 to the Ti and try that but I always though it was inferior to the Clapton TFV4 coil.
All in all though I think the RX200 is a screaming deal at $50 or less. Is it in the same league as the DNA200 version? So far I would say no due to the fit and finish and the board getting warm. Is the DNA200 version worth 3 times the price? For me that would also be a no, maybe twice the price would be fair but for someone who delves deep into the escribe software then it would probably be a yes.
First thing I did was install the latest update 1.07 as well in case anyone is wondering.
I am looking at best options for 20 bucks or less, thanks though. I may just get another nitecore i2 and get my 4 charge bays that way.
I just bought a luc4 for $16 from Ecig.com.
I'm really glad to hear a positive view finally on this mod...I ordered two but was thinking I made a mistake maybe..thanks for your post,
I like this mod. My battery door is perfect and not difficult to remove. Its not too heavy, but I intend this to be my at home or in the car mod. I wouldn't carry it around in my pocket. It's much smaller than I expected, substantially shorter than my Sigelei 150. Its a cool mod and I'm glad I bought it. I'm also glad I didn't get the DNA version because this just works.
I'll post a pic of my white and red splatter when my wrap gets here.DAY 2 with the rx200
I mentioned in my previous comments that the top screen gets warm, i think it was the CHIP warming up, I'm running the same ohms today same batteries I never had warming on the mod... I'm gonna buy each and every COLORWAY they will come out with for sure
VAPE ON
Thanks man!Anybody here having problem with the SMOK mini top refill cap?? Mine is so damn tight?
Congrats break 19
VAPE ON
I have to use a flier to open it up, it's vapes though!! Cloud chucker, flavor is aight...
Fuck SMOK periodFuck this SMOK mini,no wonder they put this shit on sale, I crack the glass installed in the tank...already. Im not gonna even try to sell it, I should've went with the CROWN!!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!
Back to rx200
DAY 3
The battery door is getting looser unlike the first day, no getting warm and it doesn't look generic at all IMO
VAPE ON
Same here
They said that the DNA 200 has bigger screen, but I think it's the font on the DNA that makes the screen looks bigger????? I really think future firmware update will give this bad boys that DNA fonts...
Thanks for the reply. I'm seriously considering getting a black rx. I think I'm facing the same issue many others may be having. At least 6 new batteries and a new charger would have to be included with a purchase of one of these (for me anyway) which greatly increases the total cost of acquiring and actually using one of these. Certainly more batts and a new charger would be worth the investment, but a new mod and all the other stuff needing to be purchased at the same time makes it harder to convince the wife to let me do it. We have four kids, so there's 6 of us total. Five of us are currently in college and the sixth is still in grade school so the wife has to be stingy with Dad's allowance.They said that the DNA 200 has bigger screen, but I think it's the font on the DNA that makes the screen looks bigger?????

Rda? It's a chucker dude, tons of airflow options, single coil option too..
There's airflow on the top, you can't change drip tip cuz it's screws down to the airflow to prevent from spinning.. I like it so much I ordered the vector rda with the jaybo/Vls chamber. If you like airy draw this RDA IS GOOD
VAPE ON

I guess not being hungry or cold is more important than a shiny new toy..... Yeah, I'd be homeless without my wife.
Wow, how'd I derail my own post?!
If your running SS coils update it first.my two came in today on time (thanks USPS)
waiting for batts to charge and plan on running the Crown on one and the TFV4 with the Clapton coil on the other.. Anxiously waiting to see how they perform, lol

Nope, I'm a poor man bro.. I'm lucky to own this phone, but my local shop will install the update for me..however they are still waiting on a shipment from China... God knows how long that will be, lol
It's not an issue they just tweaked the SS temp control a little in the update.
Guy you sound like an awesome dude..5 in college that's a Blessing. Giving your wife cudos..SWEET!Thanks for the reply. I'm seriously considering getting a black rx.

the rx is not a dna chip but it is not a clone. at least according to some there is a few slight design variations
I do contact
My batteries were in when I updated
Glad you got it! I don't own a PC and haven't done the update... But it vapes great straight out of the mail ...
