The Reuleaux by JayBo Designs

Thanks as always Croak

They didn't talk about the Relo, but they did talk about Wismec. Skip to 22:00 right around that spot is where they start talking about how VaporFlask and Wismec got together.

Just setting mine up. I notice when setting battery capacity the only relevant option is lipo? Is that what everyone used along with your specific setting depending on battery model?

Yes sir

Hoping to order mine in a few weeks as cash I'd saved was needed for other emergency, not seeing anything really negative about this mod so far all the people that have them seem to love it.

Need to change the discharge profile too. The discharge of a lipo is very different from and 18650. You'll either have to download a battery .csv file if someone has one for the batteries you are using, or you have to run the battery analyzer.

Looks like Wismec is getting as much mileage as possible from the reuleaux form factor by announcing the Rx-200. Same overall design; chip by Joytech.

They gave a "hint" about it on their FB page -- saw this listing on Heaven Gifts

Why not just slap DNA-200 in the black color and sells it?

Love the form factor, but joyetechs tc leaves a little to be desired in terms of accuracy and performance. If they can get that dialed in or even better, allow us to set tcr values, I would be willing to give it a try again.

I also would love to see the DNA200 with an option for the enclosure to be black.

I don't know anything about the Joyetech board, is the idea to have a cheaper alternative?

Cheaper by far, at least on Joyetech's side. Look at how cheap you can get a VTC Mini, under $30 some places. Wholesale prices on a DNA200 board alone are at least (if not more) than twice that.

So, methinks the board in the RX200 won't be that much more expensive than the one in the VTC Mini, and more than likely the same board with the firmware tweaked to take advantage of the 11.1 volts those 3 batteries can put out.

The other reason you might consider this over the DNA200 version is simplicity, since everything can be done on the mod, no need for a PC.

And finally, I think this is meant to compete in the moderate-priced (around $100 or less) high-wattage TC market (IPV, Sigelei, Smok, Snow Wolf, etc), since Joyetech currently has nothing in that fairly popular segment. The non-TC iStick 100w doesn't count.

Good call, I downloaded a .csv for my Lg chocolate from the DNA forums. Soft cutoff is at 3.2, capacity is at 33.3 even though real time is more around 29.

I still have a problem with my setup, battery meter stops charging about 2/3 full. Charging (via usb) notification is off and meter is stuck at 2/3.

Device monitor says Cells are at 3.9, 4.1 and 4.0....any thoughts?

 

[foliagegreen]

anyone have any idea what the mod resistance setting should be? mine was default to 0

EDIT:
nevermind. i found the newest factory settings file and had all the info

Having some dangerous issues. Temp control worked fine last night, this morning. Switched to kanthal tank then temp control would not work after reattaching ni200 atty. Tried eveything nothing worked, after about an hour temp control came on for brief second.

I took a puff and the atty burst into flames in front of my face, only firing at 25 watts, temp control continues not to work, it fires atty in power mode will not recognize as a temp control atty. Same build as last night. As long as I dont switch it's fine. Even if it asks me new atty, it will not go into tc mode.

Not pleased at all so far with the board, seems very finicky. Temp control for ni200 is supposed to be auto configured but switching between kanthal and ni200 is not an easy experience. If you have any tips I'm all ears. this is my first dna board but I'm very experienced in general.

Did you turn temp back on? The DNA will switch to power mode automatically (temp turned off) with most Kanthal builds but it doesn't switch back to temp mode automatically. I like having different profiles for temp mode, NI200, TI, Nife52, etc to make the switching easy.

If you fire up an NI200 build in power mode you are going to experience what you did.

It is my understanding that it DOES switch to TC automatically. At least on ni200. the only need for profiles in anything other than kanthal or ni200. I've watched many hours of video including P busardo's 3 part review twice. Someone else please chime in here, did I miss something?

 

[Carnage9270]

It will knock you out of temperature control when the ohms are too high, but wont take you into temp control. It doesn't detect your type of wire, only the resistance.

 

[latexyankee]

Yea that's not the issue. I've read a ton over on the evolv forums of people experiencing the same thing. It is very wonky tbh, my kanthal coil was .2 and I was switching back to an ni200 at 0.08.

There seem to be many reports of TC not working correctly or dropping after a few pulls. It worked flawlessly last night, but as soon as I switched to kanthal all went to hell. Also it does not ask if it isa new coil even when the build difference is over 25% resistance. It seems it only asks about 10% of the time. This of course would cause TC not work if you were using a kanthal build, switch to ni200 and it belives it's the same coil. But even in the event it does ask, it never switched to TC mode when temp is clearly set or modified. I can get it to kick in about 10% of the time.

 

[latexyankee]

I'm returning it, after 20+ builds with custom ni200, Ti profiles etc...it will not set itself to temp mode. It only fires on power mode regardless of wire type or resistance. These builds work fine on other TC devices, the chip is inadequate.

All in all I think it's a very dangerous device, has caught fire twice today once in my mouth because the TC fails. I would advise the majority to stay away from this or any other dna chip atm.

 

[Rizzyking]

You may just have a defective unit it happens most users seem very happy with them plus you have to remember evolv rarely release a new chip without some issues hence it pays to wait a bit before jumping on the dna bandwagon. I'm hoping by the time I purchase mine it's a v2 board or I'll put off buying one till the initial issues are resolved.

Very well could be, but the threads in Evolv forums are substantial. Seems that all these mods are made of crap 510 connections, but I'm not discounting the chip. Impressions are horribad. I've always bought america in the past 4 years after learning my lessons with shotty mods back in 2009. My god why cant provari just buckle and make a high powered device...
