New Reuleaux RX200S

[Fozzy71]

Anyone had this happen? Brand new RX200S in red/black:

I powered it up and it worked briefly (no atomizer attached) until I tried changing wattage in TC mode. The display started fading and faded out completely and now it will not power on, or if it is powered on I can't tell.

Pulled what apart exactly? You took the face cover off? I will wait until I hear back from the vendor before I try that. I did pull the batteries (to be sure I didn't eff up and put em in wrong) and then put the batteries back in and it still wouldn't power up the display.

took the entire device apart, face cover and battery sled but only do this if you dont care about warranty because it is void as soon as you do also note the bottom battery contact comes out when you take it apart like this and it's not super easy to get back together for some users I am a tinkerer and have replaced the 510 in my rx200 which is why I was confident in doing this. I also made it sound simple in the last post but really it is a pita to get back together I think it's an issue with pinched wire behind the sled but not sure really mine the positive battery wire was kinked a little which is what I think may have caused it or could have been some sort of loose connection. but to the naked eye it all looked fine besides the kink. wish I had taken photos

A lot of DNA200s & RX200 had a loose ground screw at the battery sled that many had to tighten that could account for this. screw is behind piece of foam not quite at top left of battery sled.

that could have been why it worked after I put mine back together because that screw was not really tight was the loosest screw now that I think about it

Ordered one of these on a whim the other day. My original rx200 still working great, and have seen a bit about the rx200s but never really researched it.

Was like $40. Got the blue / black. For the price, this is nice. Came today. Nice improvement over the rx200. Love how it shows the amps.

Great mod for the price. Worth 3-4x that in my opinion.

I have the RX200 and love it..been a great mod..but after reading the positive posts I just ordered the RX200s, for like $39 from VapeNW...Also ordered a Herkales 25mm RTA-2 to go with it..should be a good set-up

I find the RX200s can take a lot of abuse.
Mine hit the wall hard enough to leave a dent.
I replaced the glass in my Aromamizer and the batteries (dented) and fired it right up.
No problem mon.

 

[SteveS45]

Damn! And I got all upset the day I forgot it was on my lap and got out of the car to hacky sack it before it hit the ground! No battery dents or even a scratch! What did you get so PO'ed at? LOL

14 years of hell on earth. I mean we had a tiff.

Hey the X hit me with an Arid Extra Dry about that hard and still have the scar from it 30 years later! Never turn the other cheek on a woman!

LOL, I had to show that pic but it seems to have disappeared.

The 510 seems a bit shallower than the 200's but I bottomed my Crown I and Aromamizers on both 200s's I have and no problem. I can tell that a longer 510 wouldn't let it sit flush.

Update - I almost always use Aromamizers. I tried the Crown again and wow, it can barely sit flush. I wouldn't use this with a Crown tank on a regular basis. I'd use a rubber washer or something to fill the gap.

 

[Mowgli]

You'll like it. Be gentle with the 510, and you'll be fine. In fact, run over to kidney punchers and get a stack of those mod savers... they're also sanity savers...

#FTFDA - blue-check for little circles of rubber - bought 3 packs $9 inc shipping

Both the Herkakes 25 mm RTA-2 and the Griffin 25 mm sit flush on mine..don't own a crown or any tank that uses those expensive store bought coils anymore..just sayin
