Even though the DX is a bit clunky, I think I would have a lot of trouble gutting it for the board & battery. V1s maybe, V2s would be a bit harder.
Well I normally don't like lipo mods. As they are usually too hard to swap and charge externally. Worse some lipo mods solder in the battery. I always thought what are you going to do if the mod suddenly starts smoking on its own? With 18650s it is easy. Just remove the battery(s). Most lipo mods you usually needs tools and maybe wire cutters. By that time it might be too late and you might have a bomb that is really to explode. But these Hotcig DX200 it is very easy. I would repair non-functioning ones to get them running again.

A man with more then one women likely won't live a long and happy life..... :blink:

It will just take too much of a toll on him. :laugh:

Four Steps to a Happy Marriage…

1. It is important to find a woman who cooks and cleans.
2. It is important to find a woman who makes good money.
3. It is important to find a woman who likes to have sex.
4. It is important that these three women never meet.

Those chances are very slim. Worst case is the battery will just vent out. The videos of lipos exploding is because the idiots rupture the battery with a nail or screwdriver or otherwise abuse it to the point of catastrophic failure.

Personally, I prefer lipos over 18650 batteries. Voltage is more stable.

Yup chances are rare as long as you are doing everything right. But it still can happen. Although I feel better knowing that I can kill power at anytime I want or need too. Hard to access lipos doesn't offer that for me. Plus the thing that would bother me daily is waiting to use the mod while it is charging. Just swap batteries in 5 seconds and go again. Oh that's right, you can't with most lipo mods.

And when lipo mods age, what happens? There is always seemingly one damn cell that quits while the others have tons of life in them. Grrr! You have to replace the whole pack for one crappy cell or do surgery on it.

Voltage more stable? Regulated mods don't care about voltage as long as it falls within its operating range. With 18650s it is easy to figure how much capacity you have left by voltage alone. Damn things like the FullyMax, stays high for most of its range and when you see the voltage start to drop it is dead! Surprise!

VapeNW has a 20% sale

Code: 20%off4thJuly

I just ordered a Target Mini for $26.82. VT75 is $72 with the code.
Yeah I saw that when you first posted. Just received my 2 Egrip II for $31.99ea & 1 cubis tank for $11.19 today. That crappy little cubis and the Egrip IIs do pretty darn well for flavor on the 0.25ohm Notch Coils for the money once you put an Aromamizer drip tip in to stop the horrendous spitback they give off. Egrip II is a great out of house alternative to Nebox when you are at nicer events.

Aromamizer v1s @ $17.59 wasn't a bad deal but I just got a few V2s @ Vaporbeast & some V1 w/ 3ml & 6ml tanks at the other place so I was covered for mizers.

Thanks for posting the deal.

As do I :) I find a lot advantages to Lipo cells. On a regular work day I bring both ERM+'s with Supremes on them, I can go thru 3 tanks in a day. Running dual coils in Supremes all day long wouldn't be posable with 18650's or at least you would have to bring a half dozen of them :( At night the ERM+'s are about half charged each & I can charge them up in a couple hours. it would take for ever to charge all those half dozen 18650's :( Even with single coil builds, if I compare a DNA75 to a DNA200 one with an 18650 & 1 with a fullymax, the fullymax last way longer & charges in half the time.
The swap & go of the 18650's is nice! but there are so many other disadvantages to the 18650 :(

Wow that is strange! A FullyMax 900mah lasts me about the same as a one 18650 mod does. A two 18650 mod lasts me almost double of a FullyMax. And a three 18650 mod lasts me virtually three times longer than a FullyMax.

Here is a rundown on some of my most often used mods.

Heatvape Invader Mini - one 18650 - about 6ml of juice per charge
Hotcig DX200 - one FullyMax 900mah - about 8ml of juice per charge
Reuleaux RX200 - three 18650 - about 13ml of juice per charge
HCigar VT133 - two 18650 - about 16ml of juice per charge
Reuleaux DNA200 - three 18650 - about 24ml of juice per charge
Lost Vape Triade - three 18650 - about 24ml of juice per charge

I have enough 200 mods, two of the dx's but I was thinking about putting a 75 in a dx with the lipo reconfigured. I really like the 200's in the dx and can't get myself to gut one of them. BTW, here's the hana clone, it came with a DNA 30, I put a 40 in it and now the 75.

You know, I really like the design of the aromamizer drip tip anti spit back. I'm a little surprised I've never seen other drip tips have that kind of design.. I'm sure they're out there but I've never seen any.

The air flow doesn't feel restricted to me and I never get that occasional flood or juice (looking at you squape x) or those little hot bursts... I like Em too.

I use brass screen to stop the spit back. I cut a small piece from one of those round pipe screens, form it over pen so it will be a tight fight in the tube then slid it under the drip tip. Something like this but I just use my fingers to form it but it ends up looking like the screen in the fitting below.

Really? Mine has been sitting in the box for months. I had taken it out when I first got it and had taken it apart and looked at the deck and said: "Gee that looks small." Then I put it back in the box again and started vaping from my drippers. Maybe I should pull it out again and actually do something with it. :)

I cut them off on both of mine, I don't miss them

That Target Mini in your pic has a nice look. The ones on the website have different styling altogether, guessing they are the newer version. They want $60 for those at Fasttech so seems like a good price.

I think you're looking at the full sized Target on FT.
