Reuleaux RX 200.

I'll be the third. I have the XTAR VC4 as well. Really like it, but if I had a 3 18650 mod, it would be tough dropping to .5 amp when charging 3 batteries (as already said, if charging more than 2 it drops down .5 amp - well it's really if you use the inside slots).

I thought the rx didn't have the wrapper ripping rings in the battery tray that the dna model has. Can someone verify?

I'd like to know that as well...

It does not have the pos battery ripping tray. I have stopped using my dna version for that reason.... Got tired of rewrapping.

Good point BoomStick. I know I was reading about it being a problem. I figured they were basically using the same setup, with just a different chip.

So far with my dna200 version I have just been careful removing the batts and haven't suffered any rips. Glad to hear the rx200 does not have the shields as that would make batt changes a lot easier.

How do you rewrap batteries anyway? I have a 26650 that has a rip in the negative side from the tight fit of my tnt 80

I have the same vc4 charger. I figured with the three batteries in the mod I would have sufficient time to allow the .5 amp charge ???

Do some googling and look for battery wrappers and videos showing how to install them. Cheap and easy.

I agree. I'm very happy with my charger. Just saying if you were in a hurry, I could see how being able to charge four at 1amp each could be advantageous. In the end, I have plenty of 18650's so I'm not in any hurry.

Your good with the vc4. I just got the blu6 cause I am impatient and don't like to charge when no one is home or overnight when sleeping. How fast it charges 26650's is also a major plus for me but if I didn't have 26650's then I probably wouldn't have gotten the blu6. For $30 on sale it was worth it for me to reduce my charging time on 3 18650 and the 26650. When I was just using single and dual 1860 mods there would not have been any enough improvements to switch from the already excellent vc4. I am still keeping the vc4 as it actually revived one of my 18650's that would not take a charge on another charger, I don't know if the blu6 has that feature but it is not listed.

I don't really expect much of a performance difference between the dna200 and rx200, I have the former and will get the later tomorrow hopefully. If you like to tweek settings and what not then the dna200 is the mod you want for the escribe software. If you just like to vape and go with no desire to tweek settings than the rx200 is a no brainer.

I really love my dna200 reuleaux and always get ooohhhs and ahhh from fellow vape when they see it. I don't take it on the road with me very often though, got the $30 tnt 80 for that as I am not as worried if it hits the floor. I might wind up selling my dna200 version to a friend who would really get into the escribe software and do custom screens and what not. Will decide on selling it after I get the rx200 and mess with both for a few weeks. I really like the color scheme on the DNA200 version though and the fit and finish just screams quality.

My thought is that the rx200 would be my out n about beater mod and my custom dna200 being built now would be my at home mod. It's a Lipo so no concerns there. But it's a gem of a mod and wouldn't want to take it out and drop it ruining the awesome power coating finish lolol

YES! That's my primary complaint on this mod, almost everything has to be done on the computer, I also don't like the fact there's no settings pre-loaded for Ti or SS.

 

[mjag]

Yeah, evolv needs to get there foot out of there ass and make escribe more user friendly. It should not be hard for them to upgrade the software to include pre loaded Ti and SS settings. An option for an easier approach to change the screens would be great as well, I don't want to learn how to use paint or adobe to make custom screens. Evolv designed escribe from a engineer point of view instead of a user friendly interface with everything you need right in the program. As it is now you have to go to another website to figure out the values for SS or Ti and hope you get it right so you don't inhale fire. The custom screens while not hard still require you to use another program which you need to learn to use. Even the battery settings need to be entered manually or it uses the default of 720 mah 18650's so the battery indicator is off right out of the box.

The DNA200 is definitely not for those who just like to pop batteries in and start vaping. It is the most full featured chip on the market for sure but if you don't use those features then your probably better off with a rx200 over the dna200.

I've seen seen you write BOOM in capital letters more than once when talking about hooking up mods to a computer. Are you worried that will happen to your RX200 when you hook it up to a PC to update the firmware? I think unfounded scare tactics are a little over the top. Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,
Steve

Edit 1. I understand not everyone wants to be able to customize things.I would agree that adding presets for Ti and SS are a good idea. I'm just trying to point out, most of us that have upgradeable mods have hooked them up to PC's to do it without them going BOOM!

Edit 2. Once you hook up your DNA 200 mod to a PC and set it up the way you want it, there is really no reason to have to hook it up to a PC again unless a firmware upgrade becomes available. Just the RX200, IPV3 Li, IPV4, IPV2S, etc

Edit 3. My last edit, I promise lol. The problem with having a preset for SS is there are at least 5 types of SS that vapers can use. Each one has a different TCR. When your mod has a SS preset, which grade is it for? Here's a chart with the different ones I know of:
Grade TCR
SS304: .00105
SS316: 00092 (Not sure about this one)
SS316L: .00092
SS317L: .00088
SS430: 00138

I have been using 304 only because that is the SS preset on the evic mini so I figured this chip would have the same lol

 

[MrScaryZ]

This was discussed on the Evolv Forums the answer is not with this release of the chip maybe next version may have these capabilities.. The problem I see is it makes things more complex and if the Xcu be II is any indication of what to expect it might be best to leave good ole Bluetooth on the wayside

Got you men,since ur the man of firmware upgrade, let me ask you this,
Do I need batteries installed in my MOD to upgrade firmware?
Btw, after using the RX from 6am yesterday till 11 pm last night, I finally let it rest and went back to my OG SIG 150, WOW what a freaking weight difference, and the fire button on my OG 150 is just so smooth not as clicky as the RX... Anyways thanks for the info, and don't forget to answer my question....I've seen an read horror stories about firmware updates, I just can't trust it...



VAPE ON

 

[Wingsfan0310]

On my IPV's you take the batteries out. The Dna200's you don't. As for other upgradeable mods, I don't know because I don't have them. Do you remove them for the RX200? Either way, if you charge a mod via a USB cord whether hooked up to your PC or a wall adapter, the batteries are in the mod when it's hooked up to a power source.

The batteries do not have to be installed to connect and use escribe software with the DNA200 version, I just tried it before installing fresh batts. I have connected it with batteries as well a few dozen times with nothing to report, it just works. I have also charged the batteries fully while in the mod and it worked perfectly, just took a long time. I did set it up in the escribe software to show the voltage of each battery cell in charge mode which is pretty cool.

I used the Reuleaux DNA200 exclusively yesterday with a fresh set of LG HG2 batts installed in the morning around 9AM. In power mode with a 0.36 ohm clapton Smok coil around 50 watts I chain vaped all day watching football and hit the sack around 1AM. Finally installed a new set of batts after using it for 4 hours this morning. 20 hours of vape time at 50 watts is pretty sweet, I can go a couple of days with a tank like the OBS T-VCT which works great around 20 to 30 watts.

I have my issues with the escribe software but the mod is solid as hell, I love it. It looks like the RX200 will be showing up later today so I will try and post some pics tonight when I get home.

I would avoid Windows 10 right now, not ready for prime time and a lot of people are having issues with losing internet connectivity from time to time, my-self included. Windows 7 is solid and I am taking one of my older laptops back to it when I find my W7 install discs.

I'm a poor man bro, and don't even own a PC...all I want to do is vape, without all the bells and whistles of the DNA version...All those wire programs don't mean nothing to me in a mod, but vaping a .25 coil at 80w all day long on a single charge does mean something and is why I ordered a couple of these RX200's..besides, I don't care for TC, I think it's overrated , but that's just me..

Im not rich either and to be honest i probably wouldve waited for the RX. Being a solid Siegeli user i bought the VT200 and dug the software, the battery life on it just sucked so bad. Then thr Releaux came out and i HAD to have it.

As a standard mod with battery life and power its owning thr market, both versions

At this point its only preference. I have the IPV 3LI with a twisted messes build and the Releuax with the troll, same build. The only difference is that the twisted messes is ohmd out a little higher. Right now the IPV 3LI hits way better. If i just switch the attys, the DNA software detects my stainless and the vape gets even better.....

The ease of the IPV plug, set resistance, and play is nice but the DNA is a must if your a TC guy.

 

[mjag]

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 paid 140 for my DNA version on preorder
