My new RX200 is acting up

[Samthejuicemane]

I just recently got the the Realeux rx200 mod, which replaced my sigelei 100w I've had for a year. My first Atty I popped on my new mod was the Fodi rta. It worked fantastic with the ss coils, but I wanted to try my CLT Rda on the mod with ss. When I put it on, that's when I believe the problems started happening.
First I would switch to ss mode and after a couple seconds, it would revert back to normal watts and volts mode. I tried taking the atomizer off and readjusting it back on. The ohms would change everytime and I would get burnt (yes burnt, not dry) hits when the mod only read around 170 degrees farenheit. (My wattage was set at 70.) I tried adjusting the temperature and wattage settings, and although the burnt hits at a low temperature according to the mod was not often, it would still revert back to normal wattage and volts mode.
I got frustrated and switched back to the Fodi, which prior was working fine no problems. Now my Fodi was having the same problem, reverting back to watts and voltage mode. But with the Fodi which I had the settings set to 50 watts and 400 degrees, would only go up to 70 degrees before reverting. It would would start changing ohms everytime I readjusted it, just like with the CLT.
All of this makes me want to buyback my simple sigelei 100w which I sold the day I got my rx200 lol. Anyone else have the same problems? Anyone know a way to fix this problem? Thanks.

Upgraded to v1.07 before trying my CLT on the mod
All temperatures above are farenheit.

I'm assuming you have dual coil SS builds? I would just build a single coil SS build in one RDA and see if you have the same problem. You updated the firmware to 1.08 already, right?*
edit-whoops didn't read the end of your post

 

[ismokeinbinary]

oh, and did you lock the ohm setting while in TC?

 

[NickVapesEh]

Try locking in you ohms at a cold or room temperature coil before firing the mod.

 

[Samthejuicemane]

Dual SS coils on each atomizer, and I have tried locking in the ohms but the reverting of ss mode to normal watts and volts mode still seems to be a problem. I will make new ss coils and give everyone an update on if anything got fixed.

Might wanna make one RDA a single coil, for the sake of science. Then you'll know if it's a lack of symmetry. Btw what grade SS wire are you using and what are you ohming out to?

 

[Steamer861]

Not all atomizers are created equal, For TC to work properly there Must! be a solid connection from the 510 all the way to the coil. Not all atty's will work good in TC mode, simple Fact Best advice try a different one

 

[Samthejuicemane]

@ismokeinbinary I'm using UD 24g SS 316L. I have noticed I'm not perfectly symmetrical in my coil building so I guess that could be a problem as well lol.

 

[Samthejuicemane]

Built a single coil reading at .24, locked it in. Let the juice settle into the cotton and began vaping. (50 watts at 400 degrees F) instantly got burnt hits at around 230 degrees F.

See @Steamer861's post. Must be the RDAs. Sorry, man. Also in the TC subforum there is an "official" RX200 thread, you can find some very helpful information there. Good luck.

Are you seeing the lock icon after you lock resistance?

 

[Samthejuicemane]

Yes

 

[crxess]

Yes

and you are positive your wire is 316l?
You are in SS mode?
Your 510's are clean and grounding well?
Your Upgrade was successful?

SS can be used in Watts mode, so if your build is good you should be able to fine the best working wattage in VW then transfer to TC.

Once in a while it is the Device at fault, but most of the time it is user misunderstanding.
Been there.

Yes to all your questions lol. But ah, that second to last paragraph I did not know. I would be able to vape without any issues using ss in watts and voltage mode, without the SS at the top right displaying? Any difference to doing that than the temp and watt mode for ss?

 

[NickVapesEh]

I only use 316l in wattage mode. Its great and the coils will last longer than kanthal or nichrome. Proven fact ss wire resists corrosion alot more than any other wire. And it also heats up faster than kanthal. Its being used as competition grade wire recently.

Question, are you trying to run Compressed coils with SS? If so, you may be resistance shorting, causing a sudden jump(drop) in resistance which for safety, would kick to vw.
If you do not have much room, even the slightest gap in coils will prevent this.

* Sudden shorts will cause Extreme temperature changes also

 

[Samthejuicemane]

Trying it out in watt/volt mode and it works great no problems! I'm doing 117 watts with a .12 which is way more satisfying than my old Sigelei 100w. Cheers

That could have been the problem, didn't think about that. So used to compressing my kanthal coils.
