Starting a thread on this.
This device just came out and it took me a while to find a video review on it. Not much out there for information or reviews yet. I think I like it and may be ordering it. Not specifically from the reviewer below though.

Hi JR,
I have one. I bought one because it was relatively cheap as a replacement while my VTube went in for Repair.
In my opinion, it's a Cheap Piece of Garbage.
OK, it has VV and VW, and the VV goes from 3.0V to 6.0V, which is a nice Range, with 0.1V Increments. And the VW goes from 5W to 15W, which is a nice Range, but the VW has
1.0W Increments
(One Full Watt). In my opinion (notice that I am NOT saying IMHO),
1.0W Increments makes this VW totally UNUSABLE.
It's a Cheaply Made Mod, made in something of a Clone Look Copy-Cat of the Tesla. It has a clutzy LED Screen that shows a U instead of a V for Volts, a P for Power instead of a W for Watts, and a square lowercase "o" for ohms. The Battery Life indicator in a clunky 4-line meter that doesn't really give much Info... only like Full Charge (4 bars), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, and No Bar means it's very Low, but it still works for a while there. I guess this is better than Nothing for a Battery Charge Indication. The Screen has a Backlight and you can select the Color (Who Cares!!!), but this Backlight
cannot be turned OFF, so it's always On while you Vape, drawing unnecessary Power. And there's a Puff Count Indicator (Who Cares!!!).
Speaking of Power... the K200 is a
Total Battery HOGG. My Panasonic IMR 2250 will last a Full Day to 1.5 Days in my VTube, but I cannot make it through 2/3 of a day on the K200. The Backlight, Puff Counter, and Level Meter are eating up Power, and the DC-DC Converter Chip must be Horribly Inefficient.
It's a lightweight Aluminum Mod, and the Milling is very Course, with deep Groves that can be easily seen in the Flat sections. The Hole Cutouts for the Screen and Push Buttons are Press-Punch-Cut very Course, and they have Burrs showing. This poor Milling also effects the Battery End Cap... it can be hard to align and get Screwed In. I got the Chrome finish, and after only ONE WEEK, the Chrome Finish is wearing away, on the Back in 4-5 places where I grip it, and all around the Fire Button.
The VV Up/Down Buttons are Backwards, and this is hard to get used to. You know they are Backwards, so you think... let me press This one this time, and you're always Wrong. So I labeled them
U and
D with an Ultra Fine Tip Sharpie and put a piece of Tape over it.
The Kamry K200 Works, and it's better than Nothing (though not by much), but that's the Best I can say for it.
The Vendor I bought mine from only sells the Mod Only for $49. I found a Vapor Joe $10 Coupon and got it for $39. After I ordered it, I called to ask if it came in the Kit that the Kamry site shows, with what looks like a Panasonic IMR 2250, a Case, and some other stuff, where the Suggested Retail Price is $40, and he said that he only sells the Mod because it's a cheap copy of the Panasonic that people are having trouble with.
Everything about the K200 is a Cheap Copy Clone!!!
For $10 More, I could have bought a Stainless Steel Vamo V2.
