There are two
Versions of the rx200

One has a DNA200 chipset and sells for about $180
One has a wisemec chip and sells for about $45
And how do you know which is which without the vendor/site "saying" it's one or the other? I'm genuinely curious as I've never seen that stated anywhere on any sales for the rx200 :/

Yes, most vendors state which it is.
You usually need to read the details.
Google Is your friend.

Is there a physical way if checking the mod once it's in hand? Without fully disassembling it to see the chip

It has it on the packaging as the Evolv DNA chipset is a big selling point.
Also on the display screen at startup
;)


If you buy a $45 RX 200, you can be pretty sure you didn't win the lottery and get a $200 device.

If you buy a $200 vaporizer you
Should take the time to buy from a well known respected vendor.

All I needed to know, thanks.
Alot of "shops" around here sell items without the box. I was thinking about one of these in a few months, but a buddie wants to get one asap

Any shop that sells a $200 regulated mod Without the packaging is a definite no go.


Anyone that buys a $200 regulated mod without packaging is an idiot.

There are two versions of the "Reuleaux", but only one is the "RX200." The one with the DNA chip is branded "DNA200" instead.

The RX version comes in either all black, or white with green trim. The DNA version is grey with black trim.

Canvape. They are also a registered supplier on this forum so they have a sub - forum in the Suppliers section.
I paid $37.00 for 2 x $7.00 lg batteries from orbotronics in the states. It took 3 weeks to get here. The exchange rate is ridiculous right now and the shipping cost was expensive. If I could've found them in Canada which I couldn't at the time, they would be $15-$20 a piece anyways. Everything here is marked up but at least I can get my stuff in 2-3 days so I suck it up and pay the higher prices.

Incorrect.
They both come in both colors.
Both are Reuleaux rx200.

You have not been ripped off. B&M I volunteer at charges a little more but I have seen the owner replace items six months later that quit working. I even seen him sell a mod and person did not like it so he bought it back at full price and gave him a store credit. B&M depend on you coming back and have customer service. If they don't they go broke and close down. Enjoy your mod and give them a chance to please you. CHEERS!

That's exactly what I said, though. That the non-DNA version is the one called "RX200," and it comes in all black (or white and green.) Now show me one that is a DNA version that's black, and/or branded "RX200" and I'll eat my words, but as it stands you've only reinforced what I have said.

Ahh
I misread your post about the colors.

Northern NJ native , Coastal NC now.
I bought a wismec rx200 the other day at a vape shop in Ottawa, after hearing so many good things about it. It was either that or the cuboid, and the look and extra battery of the rx200 was really appealing, so I went for it. All in all, with the mod, three LG batteries and a bottle of liquid it came to 180 after tax. I think just the mod itself after tax was about 120.

Looking online at some shops they're selling the ....ing thing for as little as 59.99. Of course before s&h but even still doesn't come close.

The mod is very sturdy and I have a really long warranty, through the shop and through wismec. Even still, I can't shake the feeling that I've been played a little.


If it's the DNA RX 200 you did really well , if it's not you got raped .

Just being honest

Again, there's no such thing as a "DNA RX200". The "Reuleaux DNA200" and the "Reuleaux RX200" are two different devices. Both are called "Reuleaux," but the "RX" one has the cheap (Joyetech?) board and the one with the expensive Evolv board is just called "Reuleaux DNA200" with no "RX" in the name except for the ones in the word "reuleaux."

The local B&M Smoke/Vape Shop I make purchases actually sells products cheaper than what I have seen online direct from the manufacturers or discount online stores. They have a complete test center set up to check out the flavors and when it comes to warranties they never give a problem. I have visited some others that I will never return to, and I wish everyone had places like my 2 locals. One is a true vape shop the other is a convenience store and I wish you all had places like these! :thumb::thumb:
