Flawless 200W Tuglyfe box mod

flawless decided to get into the DNA200 game with their 200W tuglyfe box mod. They don't have much info on their site, dna 200, 1200mah 3S lipo, and the price is all they list. I thought I'd post my thoughts on the device, and any additional information I find.

I ordered one from their website (mainly because it was a DNA200 in stock at the time, and I was sick of waiting for my VS200), it was configured on Tuesday (according to eScribe), and in my hands on Thursday, not too shabby if you ask me.

The size is comparable to a Hammond 1590G box(its not a Hammond box its a custom CNC box), uses what appears to be a FDV v4 510, and has a nice solid feeling heft to it (I don't have a scale but it feels similar to my g box dna40 with dual 18650s). I'm not sure exactly what the paint/finish is, or how it will hold up yet, time will tell on that.

No clue on the lipo manufacturer, or C rating of the 1200mah 3S lipo. I will probably run the battery analizer from eScribe to try to get a better idea. I may even crack it open to see if the lipo has any information printed on it.

I don't really have much else to comment on at this point, it's a DNA200 box mod, key point on box.

A potato cam pic:

Oh, buttons, they are descent, no rattle or anything, real easy click, I'm guessing they are just sitting on top the on board switches.

Just picked up my tuglyfe DNA200 mod. Woundering what watt hour you guys set the mod too?

I set it a little lower than 1200mah just because I don't really know much about the battery at 12.21Wh (1100mah). It doesn't really effect anything except the battery meter, run time isn't effected.

I think the mod resistance value needs to be set, not sure to what yet though.

Are they all splatter paint.

The first 100 were, and have sold out. I read the next batches will be available in solid colors, and be serialized.

Size comparison vs the VS200:



Basically its a little taller, and a little thicker, but both are similar size I would say.

 

[ThunderDan]

Calibrated "mod resistance" based off VS200, 0.009 is pretty good.

Man, that's one ugly mod.

Can you post some pictures of the internals? I'm about to pick one up but I want to see if its clean on the inside before I cough up the cash!

I've never taken it apart, sorry.

I actually found a french forum where the guy takes it apart. Looks like the LiPo battery is soldered directly to the DNA 200 board.

I'll have to look for that post as well. Regarding the LiPo, doesn't really surprise me, I doubt there is much room inside.

Build quality? Fit / finish?

I'm worried about the integrated LiPo and the USB port charging - every other integrated battery device I've used, the first thing that goes is the USB charging port. -Mags

After having this mod about a month I would say the build quality is pretty darn good. The mod still looks new, and its been my everyday mod since I got it, been in jeans pockets, slacks, my backpack, etc, and has held up well thus far. I haven't had any issues with the mod itself, or the DNA200 inside.

The USB charging port is going to be the pretty much the same with all the DNA200 mods with lipos, they just use the on-board DNA200 microUSB port. microUSB ports are pretty terrible in general, so it is a weak link, but I haven't had an issue with it yet, on this mod, or the evolv reference DNA200 I have, and that's been in use since August. It is a concern for me too, but with a little care, it shouldn't be an issue, I just make sure I don't go swinging the mod around by the USB cable when I'm charging it. Its the same level of concern I have for the microUSB port on my cell phone, I just make sure I'm careful with it, and its been good for almost a year and a half.

How's the battery life on the mod in general? I guess my questions would be:

1. What wattage do you vape at?
2. How much juice do you go through on 1 charge?

Thanks!

I just charged it up, and haven't used it yet. I'll start with a full tank of juice in my in my Goliath v2, and report back with specifics. Or if you want RDA use, I can test that too.

In general I've been getting a day, or close to day (through the day and into the night, but maybe not quite to bedtime) out of it using dual coil RTAs in the 35-50W range, vaping 7-10ML of juice depending on the RTA. Those are just best guesses.

Awesome! Thank you for the feedback!
