I've been doing my research for a while now 2+months, 9 years smoking
I'm looking at getting a Wismec Reuleaux RX200 mod with a Pharoah Dripper tank.
I'm looking at getting Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mAh Batteries.
I'm not sure what kinda of charger I'm going to get, can someone recommend one

My questions are:
I've heard the Wismec Reuleaux RX200 has issues with Atomizers sitting flush in the 510 connector... Does anyone know if the Pharoah Dripper tank sits flush on the RX200...and if the tank it self will cause issues with the 510 connector?

Are these the right Batteries for my set up? As I may be looking for the full range of the device since I'll be sub ohming.

If this is your 1st device..jumping into sub ohming maybe a bit overwhelming at first..can't say if the dripper sits flush on the RX..I own 2 RX and only use tanks on it..sorry I'm not much help.

Yes those are the right batteries..as I use them in my RXs w/o any problems...tho I only vape around 50w and get pretty decent batt life.

Hi there! It seems that you're going big from the start!
I personally own a Wismec RX200 and I do appreciate it quite a lot. It's a nice piece of equipment but too bulky for me. I'm not quite familiar with the Pharaoh, but it seems to have a small 510 "screw". This is what usually causes the "no atomizer" issues with the Reuleaux. Is there any way you can go to a local vape shop and check them up close and personal before you buy them?

Another thing, and I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but you might want to try with some thing lighter if you are starting out. Something like an Ego One maybe? I've been there and going off analogs straight to DL is a pain . Maybe something more MTL would suit you for starting out?

I won't take anything to heart, I trust you all since you are the community. I'm going to research what you have recommended. Thank you, it's much appreciated.

Even if you decide to stick with the RX200 (or even an RX2/3), going with a tank that uses drop in coils vs. a rebuildable to start out will likely produce more successful results in giving up the analogs. While learning to build coils isn't the most difficult thing in the world to do, it can lead to frustration in the beginning and from one former smoker to someone who wants to give up the habit, I'd rather see you be successful in giving up the habit rather than becoming frustrated by the learning curve with some of the more advanced aspects.

As far as batteries, the 25R's are a good choice. If you stick with the RX200, I would recommend getting at least six to start out. Marry them into sets of three by marking them, (i.e. 1A, 1B, 1C and 2A, 2B, 2C). Try to run the sets together. The second set is so you can have a set of batteries charged and ready to go if you drain one set.

Chargers I would recommend are the Nitecore i4, the Nitecore D4, the efest Luc V4 or the efest Luc V6. The first three mentioned are 4 bay chargers while the last is a 6 bay. Others may recommend other chargers, but any of those would be good to start out with.

to be honest... they're something you get some experience and build up to.. it's an advanced setup and you're going in cold. I would suggest getting a subohm starter kit that comes with an rba tank, or a squonker which is inbetween the two and still gives the rebuilding exp. kangertech has the toptank mini which works best as a subohm and the dripbox which is a squonker. other companies have the starters as well, some are subs some are above ohm.

I use a Nitecore i4. It is a nice inexpensive 4-bay charger. However, although the manufacturer advertises it has four fully independent charging bays, this is not the case. It has only two power sources, resulting in bay 2 always finishing charging before bay 1 & 2 when charging three batteries. Not a problem for me. I suspect no 4-bay chargers on the market have truly fully independent bays except for perhaps the OPUS BT-C3100 V2.2 ($48.99).

I have read the same thing, but I've not noticed any issue with any of atomizers I use on my RX200. I use a Crown tank 1, a Velocity clone RDA, and authentic Patriot RDA.

The Samsung 25R are certainly good batteries. I have used them before.

I use the Lg HG2 and AW 3000mAh 20A batteries in my RX200. They have the same 20A of the 25R, but an additional 500mAh for a little longer battery time between charges. The Samsung 30Q is also similar in performance to the HG2 and AW. "Marry" your sets of three batteries to each other. I recommend 2 married sets of three batteries (six batteries total) for a 3-battery mod like the RX200, as it can take several hours for fully drained batteries to charge.

Actually 3400 for over 9 months, best charger i ever used.

@nus,, there is nothing wrong starting out with the rx 200. No special experience necessary.
The Pharoah, is a different nut entirely. If you're hellbent on a dripper, I'd suggest a Magma, easy wicking & reasonable airflow design.
A tank, with rebuildable deck would induce the least stress. I've been using a protank4,,with rebuildable deck only with satisfactory results..
