HCigar VT200

[Roadshaker]

Anybody interested VapeNW has a coming soon on a spare battery for about $20. No idea how far off that is but they usually get items earlier than most sites. Worth a look.

You are saying the idiot that soldered it together jumped out cell number three by bridging tabs on oppose sides of the cell between the red and blue wires? tough to see.

Anybody run the mod resistance?

 

[kraze6548]

The DNA200 is making an assumption that the resistance it reads is partially mod resistance, If you measure and set mod resistance in escribe, is should get close to the same. So, for a .2 coil for example your first mod fires it as if it was a .2 coil. The dna fires it as if it was a .2 coil less the value it has for mod resistance.

I set mine at .0045 . I did the atomizer anyl. And came up with .006 so 80 percent I guessed would be .004. It just seems off. I can get the same vape just take a Lil more watts and temp

 

[AlbinoDegenerate]

I just set my mod resistance to .0045 w/o measuring (I'll get to it later, just wanted to see what happened) and the vape quality increased a pretty noticeable amount

Strongly recommend to anyone who hasn't done it yet

This incredibly impactful n=2 study also seems to imply that either I got incredibly lucky and this worked even though I was totally off, or that the mod resistances are pretty uniform across the prod. Line

I have been following this thread since it was created and it looks like most users of the HCigar VT200 are satisfied with them.
So I ordered one last night from Ecig-City and hopefully it will arrive early next week as it is on it's way. I am building a mod with the DNA200 board that will use three 18650 batteries and I wanted a smaller DNA200 mod also, so I decided to try the HCigar VT200.

I don't see what the big deal is with the brass 510, I have a Stingray mech that is brass and has been thoroughly abused (dropped countless times) and that 510 is still flawless after over a year.

Look at all the mechs with copper 510's, few to no issues there either.

Thick brass is quite durable really, it's not stainless durable but still plenty sturdy.

 

[ThunderDan]

Yeah, I have a brass SMPL that is almost a year old now (got it last Nov), and its still fine.

 

[f1vefour]

This has naval brass right?

 

[Rockwell222]

I believe that's what one of the reviewers said was naval brass or close to it. I've had no problems with mine I absolutely love the thing. I am missing my vaporshark but it's on it's way back from repair. If I had to choose between the two I think I would pick the VT200. I only got to use the shark for 2 days so maybe I'll change my mind.

 

[AlbinoDegenerate]

The reason the brass threads in mechs last is because they're threaded all the way through the 510 hole + distribute the force over a larger surface area

Brass threads on mods have failed in the past because they were too shallow, but the ones on the vt200 look to be long enough to hold up well

Obviously only time will tell but if you look at the 510 inserts on the vt200 vs the past hcigar that was reported to fail, it looks like they're significantly longer

 

[Rockwell222]

Yeah the threads really go down there and I believe your right that that's the key to it doing well. You really can't screw it down to far it literally won't let you. Cross threading is still possible but that's easy to avoid.

 

[Carnage9270]

It's kind of funny, people always question the metals that are typically used because of their soft characteristics, but never really consider that they can be made as a alloy as well. Titanium for example is considered to be a hard metal. It's not, it's actually very soft. It's when it's made as an alloy that it becomes so fantastic.

There are different grades of stainless steel, many are very soft. But when people typically think of stainless steel, they think of a nice durable hard metal. Most stainless steel grades are extremely easy to strip or cross thread. The brass 510 connection on this mod is plenty durable. Yes, you can cross thread it, but stainless steel is just as susceptible. This brass is very tough.

 

[cimon]

True. Brass 510 do the job.

Even that I hope HC go for SS version anyway. And psss...
Rumors said that they consider SS 2x18650

That will be awesome!

 

[smokewell]

Anyone know of a way to fix the mushy fire button? I can't stand it and keeps me from using this device altogether.

 

[cimon]

Mushy? Its piece of aluminium directly touching switch on board. Nice and clicky.

 

[smokewell]

Definitely then mine is defective. Time to open it up.

 

[cimon]

Btw. That was my ONLY fear before buying VT200 (useing stock switches mounted on DNA200 chip). In VT40 we have SEPERATE board with pretty tough switches (fire and up/down).

I hope yours still fine. Dont forget that u should have separate warranty on DNA200 board.
