I don't find it too dim,its as bright as any of my other mods, but I am going to peel it off, one corner is beginning to peel on its own.
Not worried abour scratches, and I'm a bit OCD about scratches. Particularily scratches I need to see through. My helmet smacks into the poly canopy sometimes and I used to use a product called Mirror Glaze, at $30 a bottle, to get them out. Then, I was introdued to somthing much better.
Toothpaste. Both Mirror Glaze and toothpaste are micro abrasives, that do a kick ass job of removing scratches from plastic. I loaned a custom system disk to a friend, and when I got it back, it was so sratched the cd rom drive spit it out. Toothpaste! My cellphone camera lens was scratched.. Toothpaste! Plastic headlight lens scrathed or cloudy, toothpaste.
Anybody who has been in the military is already familiar with how to use it. Just like polishing parade boots. A soft cloth with a little water or spit to moisten it, and wrap around a finger and apply light pressure making small circles. Let it start to haze-dry, and repeat, but always keep it moist.
I works on plastic safety glasses, and scratched flashlight lenses. Do not ever use it on any coated optics though, like scopes, binos, camera lenses or glasses.

Plastic peeled, and I took a moment to leave it peeled halfway down from the top. Very slightly brighter, but much clearer.

A year ago if somebody had told me I would be vaping on a 200 watt device that does TC on stainless with this battery capacity, for a cost of $60, I would have been a tad sceptical. skeptical.... Where the fk is spellcheck when you really need it??
I'm using a Crown with a .5 ohm Stainless Steel coil. It's happened 3 times now, and it only seems to do it at half charge and lower, and only in Stealth Mode.
Yes
Thank You, which firmware, and are you in wattage mode, or TC and if in TC at what temp?
I'll try to replicate that and see if it is somthing that mine does as well. From the amount of code that was different in the last firmware update, it seems pretty clear that a great deal more than just the font was changed, and I have been crossing my fingers that there were no serious bugs, as it was released very shortly after 1.07 I don't have a Crown, but I'll try a RDA with a .5ohm stainless coil in the next few days.
Another thing I have noticed with 1.08, (at least it never happened with 1.07) is that on one occasion, the RX kicked out of TC, and into watts mode a couple of times. The nice part about it is it set the watts at 20, so mid vape, I didn't get a scorched lungfull like when my X Cube 2 kicks out of TC mid vape.
I could not get it to do that a third time, but as I was rewicking at the end of that tank, I made a point to check the tightness of the screws on the deck, and while not loose, they were not tight, and took about a 1/2 turn to snug them up. No occurance of that since I tightnened them.

I'm running 1.08. I also noticed that it kicks in and out of Stealth Mode. I'm currently running in Wattage, only at 55w, I ran it in SS-TC mode but didn't not notice it then.

Wattage at 55w, when I run in TC on SS I run at 460F/40w
I'm in Wattage when it's happened
Funny u mentioned this last week. My Evic mini did same thing while I was vaping the herakles stainless coil. It would kick me out of ss temp and put me to power mode at 20watts huh. Joyetech bug probably. The Evic has the latest firmware update

I don't think so, I believe that the issue was that my coil was not as tight on the deck a it should have been. Since tightening it, there has not been another instance of it.
A little while ago I was reading an email my friend has sent me in response to my asking hin to look at this thread, as he has a RX and a Crown, and he jolted my memory back to a problem I had with my Aspire Atlantis V2. Like the Crown, the TFV4 and I believe the Herakles, the Atlantis has a floating center pin. I won't go into the whole long story, but I sent Tanker a insanely long IM about it, and if he wishes to cut and paste part or all of it here it in, its OK with me.
The gist is, the floating center pin sometimes makes enough contact for a meter, or a mod to register its resistance, but under high current (fireing) it becomes intermittant. Just a few minutes ago, I found that by massivly torquing the RBA in my TFV4 into the base, the center pin of the 510 pushes downward. If I unscrew the RBA, and then thread it in lightly, it does not make a consistant contact. Unscrew the atty, and push the atty down on a hard surface, and the pin is pushed up, closing the gap, and back to normal.
This may or may not be part of his issue, I suspect there is much fiddeling to be done. There is another possibility as well, but I'm in the middle of trying to make the condidtions to see if it matches what he is experiencing.
AgreedFinally upgraded this twins
From 1.03
To 1.08
Font is definitely the most obvious

Everything was tight on my end. Did it about three times on the stainless and hasn't done it since. It was weird that u mentioned same problem but I haven't had problem since

Man...love the RX200 with a buddha v2 rda on top, running around 190 watts (its pushing a lot of metal, so its not any hotter than a normal build) and it's be awesome. Such a great deal this was. I call it the grenade -- short, fat, heavy. and beautiful.
Possible.

That means they break the sealed wrapping on the box from the factory..don't know if I'd be comfortable with that...just a thought
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
One could look at it as an additional QC check. If they power them up too that is. If it saved me a DOA mod, its not a bug, its a feature! lol
I suppose, I thought they fired up the mod at the factory QC...didn't think it was a vendor that did it...
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
In a perfect world they would. Me expectations have been molded by Smok, who overall make great products, but have never heard of QC or Customer service. My Xcube 2 right out of the box had a firebar that stuck in the fire postion. I'd thought that any meaningfull QC inspection might have caught a little thing like a mod having a dangerous problem like that. If anybody had squeesed that firebar before sealing the package, they definatly would have noticed that. I had a tough time pulling the firebar out. If there was any QC at all, it was a joke.
I have had no such problem with the RX though. If I owned a B&M, I think I would check every mod on arrival, as the effort is minimal, and the time to detect a malfunctioning mod, to my way of thinking is before the customer takes it home, and has to come back and return it.
I admit, the X Cube 2, although overall a good mod, had QC issues that have had an effect on me. I might be a little more concerned about an open atty box, but as soon as I buy a new atty, I break it down and thouroghly wash it, as a result of experiencing the joy of vaping machine oil once. Before the X Cube, I would have preferrd sealed though.
I doubt they check/fire up every mod. I would think the more likely scenario is they spot check a few from each batch (and at times I have my doubts if they even do that). I'm not picking on them, I think that's just the the way of mass manufacturing.
Ok... Here is where we are at, since i just got home from work and recieved this message past my bed time, lol.

Ok, I emailed a friend of mine who also has an RX and a Crown, and have been fiddeling with mine in the meantime with a set of low batts. I have two possibilities I'd like to run past you before I go full potatoe trying to replicate the problem,
The first involves the Crown tank. My friend said he had a Ti coil that did close to what you are describing, it was a bad coil, with an intermittent short/open circuit. He also had a misfire, with the Crown although on a different mod when it happened. He said that with one coil in particular, he had misfires that baffled him, and although the mod read the resistance, he threaded the crown onto his Ohm meter, and the resistance was the same. Only when he went to lift the Ohm meter by the Crown (a less than best practice) he noticed the meter went to zero.
Long story short, it had to do with the 510 center pin. How he fixed it, was removing the coil, then pushing the center pin all the way up, then screwing in the coil, he made sure the center pin was making full contact, by feeling the connector on the Crown from the bottom, screwing the coil in until he felt the center pin begin to push down. It was making enough mechanical contact that both the mod, and the meter showed the correct resistance, but with 50 watts applied to it, a tiny gap opened, and the mod misfired. He has not had that happen on the RX, but he also has not had it happen on his other mod, as after a coil removal, he makes double sure that the center pin is firmly against the bottom of the coil. I had forgotten that I had the same issue with an Atlantis V2.
Now, I don't see how this could be limited to stealth mode, but I put some low batts in my RX, put it into stealth, and WAS able to get it to misfire. It also seemed to kick out of stealth mode Usually after a couple of vapes. I took it out of stealth mode and and again, after a series of vapes, it would misfire. Unless you tell me different after you check the above out, I think I have an idea as to what is happening. After a series of low vapes, the batt voltage gets close to the limit, where it won't fire. If you let the batts recover, you get another few vapes untoll low voltage kicks in. The reason it is kicking out of stealth, is that in stealth, you would not be able to see the low batts, so it "unstealths" so you can.
Play with it a bit, and if it still happens with batts above 60%, I'll go full potatoe to try and make it happen. Lemme know, and thanks for mentioning it, its a new mod, and overall, works so much better than I expected, and has so few bugs, I almost am waiting for the penny to drop, and reveal some huge failure. lol
I really wish Wismec would make their firmware changelog public. I'm certain more than just the font was changed in 1.08.
Anyway, take care, and please let me know.
OneBadWolf, Yesterday at 10:45 PM
I have fiddled with it some and the coil is down tight. It hasn't done any of the suspect behaviors in the time I've been playing with it. I did note that the spring loaded 510 connector is very tight. It doesn't move very freely, not sure if this is normal or not. I've only had it a few days, not even a week yet. I will say that even with the issues I've noted, I'm not unhappy as of yet. I have also noted that twice now, when it gets below 50% batt the ohms have dropped from .5 to .49.
I'd like to take a minute to thank everyone who has taken an interest in this issue I have brought up, and a special thanks to OneBadWolf, for really going above and beyond in an effort to help me solve the mystery.

Just updated to 1.08 as well and now the mod is stuck in check battery, tried to roll back to earlier firmware but same issue, stuck in check battery. Tried new 3 different sets up batteries and no joy. Anyone else having this issue?
Did mine last night. Knocked on wood haven't had this problem

Wismec came in the Vape Mail. I've been way too busy sucking on the thing to post about it! Got the black RX200 and put the black Crown on it with a Ni200 coil inside, rocking 90W at 500F. Brightest flavor I've had with the Crown Ni200 coil, nice vapor production, good battery life. Two days as the go to ADV.
Buy this thing, you know you want to Human. Buy it now. It's big, but not too big, fits the hand nicely for thumb or finger triggering, and it's shiny.
Buy it. You can't fucking touch the price for 200W and TC.

This is probably obvious, but you took the batts out for the update right? If not, remove them and try it again.. One thing I havn't found on this mod is a hardware reset switch. My X Cube 2 does not have one either.

I did do the update without the batteries in. Just tried to update again, down to 1.07 and then up to 1.08 and still no joy, says check battery.
My RX200 is on the mail truck today! Cant wait.

After hearing about problems like @Johnny Hotsauce I'm happy I never downloaded the update on my two RX200 mods..
They work just fine straight of the mail....and for me that's good enough..

I've updated to 1.07 and then 1.08 and (fingers crossed!) no issues. Probably just coincidence that the issue started after the software update and is a hardware problem.
A custom TCR update is what everyone is REALLY waiting for!!!

Oh not trying to convince you, mate! Just stating that, from what I've seen, a lot of people have updated with no problems. Just trying to contribute to paring down reasons for the malfunction of our forum-mate's mod.

Corrupted data, re-download?
Bad USB cable?
Possibly a bad battery?
Same brand and rating?
IR (internal resistance) may be different
Bad contacts internally?
Pull out the batteries and check the voltage with a DMM, they may be to far apart in readings.
They should be kinda close.
Charge on external charger.

Unfortunately after some experimentation and a couple of devices bought for SS specifically I am coming to that conclusion as well
Great on power mode tho. I've tried SS rebuilds, SS Pre-made and I honestly dont see the results I see using Ni200, if that can be used as a comparison.
Just not yet convinced it can't be done rather than it has not yet been done properly.
You got yours at a price that was rare for a Canadian. Choices here were either China for $45, Group buys for $65 or B + M stores for $70 + tax.
You got an unusual deal from a store. People paid the same for Group buys here, $65, had to wait a couple of weeks and had no exchange policy if there were a problem.
Buying a iPV 3Li or a Sigelei 150TC I'd risk on a better known brand through a group buy but not on this mod. I love it but there were signs that quality control issues could take place. Popularity alone.
Buy it from Fasttech and you at least have the option of returning it a month later if it broke, but most B+M stores won't help after 7 days.
Only you know if the store u purchased it at would have helped u had it been broken 1 week later.
Americans have many more options open to them now. Fewer reasons to shop at Fasttech for authentics. Best for coils, vape related tools and clones today.
I had thought so, but I went on an excursion to visit another new vape shop here, and they charge $60 for the RX as well. The vape store I usually go to here now has 2 locations, so there are 3 stores here selling the RX for that price.
They can't keep them in stock. At the new place, I asked if they had had any returns, and they have had one come back, USB charging quit.
I dropped mine for the first time last night, reaching for it in the dark (was bound to happen sooner or later with a flat black mod in the dark) after all the bad words were spoken, the tank glass was checked for cracks, the batts were hunted down and retrieved from the various heavy things they rolled under, I calmed the dog, put the batts in and fired it up and it is fine.
I only have one other TC mod that does SS, it was much more, has less power, less batt capacity, and does not do TC on SS near as well.
I have had a few times where the TC on the rx has been off (had to raise the temp) and I think this was as a result of the resistance being off due to removing the atty, and replacing it while warm.
I've been trying to make mine experience the problems that other members have been having, and noticed that if you stab the fire button, the mod will display what it believes the coil temp is.
A little hard to explain, but in TC mode, have a vape, then stab the fire button fast enough the mod does not fire, and the temp will be displayed for a half second. Repeat, and you can see the temp going down every time you stab the button until it hits 70 (farenheight).
I found on the occasions where the temp was out, that when I did the stab, the temp displayed was not at 70, but higher, which explains why the TC was off.
Resistance lock should fix that, I deliberatly have not been using it. If you find the RX is behaving inconsistantly on TC with SS, stab the fire, and the mod should display room temp.
If it does not, re attatch the atty, and select new coil, or lock the resistance.
From my perspective, for the price of this mod, I should have bought 2. For $120, I don't believe there is any other mod on the market that could even come close to approaching the reliability, capacity, performance and redundancy that 2 RXs would provide.
And it would have been much less traumatic last night when I dropped mine, to know that in the gravest extreme, I had another ready to go.
