I got the Sig 200 in this morning (the blue one) and so far I am on the fence with the design (that slanted business) but the battery door is staying on...for now. It's till way too easy to take off though. One thing I can say about this mod is the power feels immediate, consistent and legit. Overall, as of now, I am happy with this $50 unit, but the other one I bought will likely be replaced with a Releaux RX200.
Yeah I like when mods have that instant power.....unlike the decimus. That thing wasn't worth the money at all. In my opinion it's a huge piece of s***. But it's not about that lol just something that really burns me.

Well, it' not as immediate as I made it seem, but it's way better than the Decimus. It's like it still takes a split, split second, but then it comes on full force. But it only takes that split, split second in a cold state--then after the first fire, if you are in an actual vape session, it's immediate. The Decimus would grunt and moan and then seemingly still need to ramp up! I dunno, man, they screwed the pooch on that one, BIG time.

See that was the thing, I was cleaning my coil off last night and was using the decimus for it. I noticed that even after the coil is glowing red, you press the button and it STILL takes time to ramp, how's that possible lol. All my other mods do the split second thing and I get that, but not when the coil is already hot and red it normally just ramps right up. It sucks cause I love the looks and the feel of the decimus. But it has too much wrong with it that I just can't like it anymore. And if the reuleaux rx200 is better then the decimus, that's just gonna be sad. I remember I wrote praxis vapors about the problems I had and the problems I was reading about, I got ...... cause there already releasing a v1.5 or whatever there calling it for the decimus, and upgrade if you will. I hate when companies release an updated better version weeks after the initial first release instead of taking the time to test the damn product. Just from that convo I had I'm sorry to say I lost a little bit of respect for praxis cause this mod is just a turd.

P.S. sorry I don't mean to make this about the decimus, I just never expressed my feelings on the mod.

I lost respect for Praxxis a year ago when they released the V1.2 Derringer, only for it to be the exact same atty as the V1 with the included spinning center post as its main feature!!!
Again.....test your s***!!! Lol Its not that hard, no let's release stuff and have the public pay all this money and they'll be our test subjects. Makes sense...

To me it should've been a no-brainer...

For those that got took by things like this, as long as you can provide proof of purchase of the defective item, when the new and "improved" item hits the market you should be eligible for a replacement "at no cost"!!! I would've paid shipping back to either the vendor I bought it from or to the Mfg to have the defective items replaced, but was never given that option... Instead they release the new and improved version and had no problem soaking you for the inflated cost they think its worth to mfg it. Not my idea of even acceptable customer service!!!

I couldn't agree more, and most of these companies now a days do this too. They figure why test it, we are the testers for them, release a first run, get the money, get feedback and then make a second run and fix the things that were on the first run and make more money. It's never ending. When I talked to them it was mostly about the decimus vibrating, not the pulse width modulation buzzing noise but it was literally vibrating like a cell phone. I wasn't the only one with this problem so I brought it up to them. There answer was a loose battery connection, just reposition the batteries and it'll stop. My question to them was why the hell do we have to even keep fixing the batteries in the first place, they shouldn't just keep falling out of there connection??! I didn't buy this mod to have a buzzing, vibrating, weak, battery falling out, button rattling mod lol. It's just crap, plain and simple. Oh but there's a warranty......just for me to get another piece of crap again, I'm good on the mod and the company in general.

Yes, thank you!!! They said when they had "tested" them, none of these problems were present and that I have a warranty and I could send it back. It's a beautiful device, but it's a rose wrapped turd. It should be like a 50$ device, not 90$ or whatever it is now. Sorry for the rant everyone but stuff like this and companies like this really chap my a** bad. This mod is seriously 2 years in the past and shouldn't of even been offered in the era we are in now. And it's just a slap in the face for them to update it as soon as they did.

Hmm...No one talking about the Magma Reborn? Reminiscent of a Magma + Velocity + K24. Not yet available stateside, but it is coming...

I've seen some images on Instagram but haven't heard much else. Honestly, I'm so happy with my snapdragon I highly doubt I will get one of these. I actually plan on buying the v1.5 as well if I can when it drops.

For my personal vaping style, I think this will have too much airflow for me. I like the snapdragons 2mm inlets and anything larger will be too much for me.

I will say the kennedys are very solid and bottom airflow puts out some tasty flavor; I just think the magma reborn is more for people who like a looser draw. It might be a nice middle ground for those who find the old magmas draw a bit too tight and the Kennedy too loose.

But then again, if people in this thread start buying them and saying good things, I may not be able to help myself lol.

I've been talking to Paradigm Modz but they are being kinda hush. One minute it's this and the next it's that. I want to try it though, but I am doing my best to no longer speak too much on stuff I don't actually have. AX1 messed it up for me.

Buddy of mine picked up the reuleaux DNA200 last week and has been loving it. I was QUITE surprised how small that 3 battery mod was. I kept thinking back to the last couple 2 battery regulated boxes I built and how big they were lol. If my wife were to ask what I want, it would be coming out of my wallet anyway as she's a stay home mom for a little while longer til my daughter goes to kindergarten. Still though, 4 years on a single income and hobbies (first it was my subaru, then rc cars, then my t-shirt business, now vaping) SUCKS.

Just posting this for someone else to laugh with me. Hilarious!

@HeiSINberg @Mr.Mann - Loving the Reuleaux RX200. For a triple 18650 mod, it's small and fits well in the hand. It's definitely got some heft to it but it isn't bothersome IMO. Haven't tried TC yet but it works excellently in power mode. I've been using it off and on since about 8 PM and the battery meter hasn't moved a hair. I haven't been chain vaping and I'm using the NarDA at 36.5W but still that's great battery life. Two big thumbs up. 99.9% chance I'll be picking up a second in black.

Thanks for the feedback man I appreciate it! I just went ahead and ordered one, it should be here tomorrow I'm hoping since it's not coming from very far at all. I knew I wanted it when I played with it at my local shop, I wanted it right then and there but I couldn't pay what they wanted for it. Now you just made me want it even more, I can't wait!
