Vape Cige vt200 upgrade warning

I just received the new red and black unit....The instructions state that the battery door is magnetic but I found that all the doors are secured by 4 small hex head screws each. Also, The instruction state to see " the graph" for atomizer specs, However, no graphs are included...The 510 connection is pressed and not glued but the connection pin is fixed and does not float......Some older atomizers do not touch....Bummer....Last issue, the internal battery last about 8 hours with my Uwell crown set at 50w...To tell you the truth, my Sigelei 150 tc blows this unit away....Sorry Vape cige but this is the truth...... Any body else has any issues with this unit please let my know.

Must have made the red/black on different batch. My white / black has spring 510 and magnetic door. Learn Escribe to get the best performance from it. I personally wouldn't mind the screw doors as I don't plan on swapping out batteries. Good luck with it!

I received one of the early VTBox200 from Vape Cige red/black SN:0104. My 510 is glued and came out within the first week, I've re-glued it while dealing with Gearbest for replacement / repair. The Battery came in over discharged & with reversed connectors and it's capacity actually comes in closer to a 1300 mah. My center pin is spring loaded although it has very short travel and most attys won't sit flush. I do have the magnets on the side but to be honest with as tight as the battery is inside I'll never use it for swapping out packs anyway so it wouldn't bother me if screws were there instead. What they state to see "the graph" is a direct copy from the specs of the DNA 200 data sheet so you can look that info up online.

I know there have been a few changes to the device from the battery connectors to direct soldered battery, Some with screws on the sides some with magnets. Until I actually see a 510 removed from one that's supposedly pressed I'll continue thinking they just used better glue. And i know at least two that ordered Black/White from Gearbest and they were sent Red/Black to their surprise.

Overall I think I have more con's with the board than I do with the enclosure and those cant really be attributed to Vape Cige.

I hope you all aren't talking about the HCigar VT200? I just ordered one the other day

I have the blue VT200 serial 6602. Haven't had an issue with the 510 yet, but mine is spring loaded. Also hex screw battery door as well. Thanks for the heads up, bought this as a back up so really hasn't paid much attention.

Ahh, you are right. Sorry for that. Thanks for calling that out since I didn't check first. Didn't realize there was a different one. Neat looking, too.
