Sorry for the misunderstanding, the issue I pointed out has nothing to do with fasttech whatsoever, I just came across some issues people are having when i was reading about the RX 200 and though TS should be aware of it before buying one.



I honestly have no idea. like I said above, I've read about some issues and just wanted to warn you. You should look in to them some more if you're interested in this device. It's not one that's on my to-buy-list so I haven't looked too deep in to what's going on exactly.

If you're open to suggestions though, since you mentioned you like mucho mAhs; the new Joyetech Evic Vtwo has a build in 5000mAh LIPO. No need to buy a charger or batteries, and a bit easier to pocket as well. But it's new, and no real user reviews just yet. I really like the V1 VT personally though.

Good luck!

I'm absolutely interested in suggestions. But, I'm not interested in anything with an internal battery. I've got a Coolfire already. And while I love it, I'm looking for something with removable batteries, just for longevity sake. The only mod I have with a removable battery is my Kanger Dripbox. But it's more of a one trick pony, and I'm not at all comfortable staking that a Kanger is going to last.

Though I will say, if it weren't crunch time, I'd be looking at that mod. It looks quite enticing. I might pick one up, if what's available isn't completely decimated after August.

First of all, it's amazing I've been vaping as long as I have, and haven't ordered from them yet. But I've got a question for you all. I'm looking to get one more regulated device before the vapepocolypse. Money is of course a concern because I still need to buy quite a bit more nicotine base and that all takes money.

So I'm looking at a Wisemec Reuleaux RX200 based on a recommendation from my favorite vape guy at my local vape shop. But they charge too much. Fasttech seems to have one of the best prices. So what I'm wondering is, when the product on Fastech says it's an authentic product, is it actually, or are they feeding us a line? I find this suspect as they're, a Chinese company, I think?
I buy almost everything from FT because prices are fine and they have a vast selection of all the little bits and peices. They aren't going to misrepresent products intentionally. Social media would fry them. Need some tweezers? They have several hundred to choose from and the fancy ones are $3. Some times the wait is long but they have never disappointed me.

Is fasttech the amazon of vaping?

Just an aside my last two FT orders arrived in 2 weeks or less (last order was 7 days from placing to delivery by mail) so it's not always so long. Just often. And to reiterate what has been said, if offered as authentic it is.

When time matters pay close attention to stock status. That is always listed for each item. FT doesn't keep everything in stock. Some of the obscure stuff is always special order. If you order some pre-order item it's a crap shoot. So when I'm in a "hurry" I leave out things that aren't in stock ready to ship and save those for a low priority order where a long wait isn't a problem. What fasttech has is selection, thousands of skews.

Okay, FT is the Sears and Robuck of vaping. Remember the catalog? That's the first place I ever saw pictures of scantilly clad women. How times have changed.

After all I've read about it, seen it traded over and over, I'd never go with the rx200.

I went with the Eleaf tc100w, and absolutely love it... All day battery life, all modes, etc. And really inexpensive, I gather that the draw that more expensive means better has caused it to be an odd-out mod that only those whom has one and doesn't have to have the big-expensive mod knows how great it is... Just saying.

Now that absolutely looks enticing. Single or duel battery options; I won't have to get another charger. External firing lock, which just seems more secure than the 3 or 5 button click off. This is definitely a contender.

eleaf 100tc has updated firmware to run at 120, It is a nice mod that I have seen for as low as $25 here in the states. good mod, mine had a bit of a junk 510 connection but the RX 200 also will not fit all rda's flush, The RX 200 can be had for as low as $32 here also, The Rx 200S is the exact same as the RX 200 except for the bigger Screen layout, and about ten extra bucks. I have never had any of the overheating problems in any of these, I have 4 RX200's and 1 RX200S, I like the chip better in the RX's just because I am used to them. If you want another 2 battery mod, check out the cuboid 150, upgradable to 200w, 2 battery, another decent low price mod. I like my Istick 100TC but gave it away. If you have time to wait for Fastech, I would advise wait a few more days for the 4Th of july sales, and order from here you will get it quicker and save about 20%. as Far as Fastech goes you can Plan on a 12-15 day wait min. if the Item is in stock.

Just to add: as far as comfortable to hold, I've yet to find anything that really comes close at this time.. plus the squeeze trigger makes any button mod seem primitive. It's shape makes it great to fit in a back pocket.

As another member stated, firmware upgrades it to 120W, but I vape at 45W, so that's not a biggie for me.. and as you mention, this is a parallel mod, so it's lifespan and not high wattage that this mod is about, and can run at 75W if you use a single battery.

Got one last week for my wife and she's loving it (and had been jealous of mine for a while).

I honestly would be curious to anyone explaining me what any other mod would have that would be better than this one in any way... and the over 120W doesn't count as this is a parallel and not a serial, and as already stated, I don't need more than at the max, maybe 60W anyways. (and I can chase some very serious clouds with it)

The pros:
- looks great
- dual battery (parallel) with all day life
- temp. control for NI, TI, SS, and 3 programmable settings
- yet to find a single tank or RTA that doesn't fit it
- squeeze trigger
- physical lock
- solid quality build
- 120W that's plenty for most

The cons:
USB connector on bottom (but this could also be a pro as it keeps the esthetics cleaner)

Note that I have an external charger and other batteries, but I tend to plug in my mod to charge them directly and keep the batteries married aka, they never are taken out. I've now have had mine for two months or more I believe... and it's really hard to find a single other mod out there that would entice me in any way. The reuleaux rx75 (which does have my interest at this time for consideration as small backups for my extra tanks) looks so much like a mini copy of the TC100W that it's nuts. (squeeze trigger, top lock button, overall design, etc.)

I think that many might not like it because it just looks so different from the "standard" mods (screen under the trigger button), etc.... which for me is actually a pro.. I love it's looks.

I prefer to charge my batteries in a bay, so the positioning of the USB doesn't bother me any.

So do I (with all the other mods in my house...) but for this one, I just find it easier, so to ensure that they are charged together, and not having to remove them from it... as they last me all day.. most days, from 7am to 11pm and only a few times did I need to plug it in earlier and take my other mods out.
