Reuleaux RX200 versus DNA200

[OpenUpShop]

Hello ECF Community,

I stopped analogs a few months back and got so much help and support here. It was great...ECF is partly responsible for why I haven't touched a cigarette in months

I was hoping some of you could help me with a bit of a quandary...

I did a ton of research and the Reuleaux DNA200 is touted by a lot as beast. I was on the checkout page about to purchase one, when my mind told me to come double check ECF to see what thoughts were.

Many here seem to really like the Reuleaux RX200. But outside here, I have heard so much about the dna chip being great. There is almost a $100 difference between the two mods.... So for anyone that has these, can you please tell me if the benefits of the DNA version are only escribe, vaping stats, profiles, and customization or is there some actual difference in the actual vaping experience?

Thanks all, much obliged...

I have both of them and have done comparison review a while back. If you can afford it, go for the DNA200, the "feel" is much better. It's hard to explain or describe in a few words. Also rhe added bonus of escribe that allows you to set up and personalize sooo many things couldn't hurt either.

What's New - SXmini Q Class

Wow that is a beautiful mod!! Plus all the bells and whistles..

lol, I almost fell back from chair when I saw... " 0.0001ohm coil resistance." That's insane...

Thanks for the info Sparkky1...now i am really tempted... lol.

But The places I saw, most sites have it at about $200...

Singing Songs of Personal Preference.

As far as DNA / RX - Difference in Chip manufacturer and Features available.
Some investor swear by DNA Chips, while others are less concerned.
Some look to maximize Program-ability, while others simple want the mod to work.
Both seem to be rather reliable and have good customer satisfaction.

Fir this particular styled mod, I personally would go RX to reduce cost and possibly pick up a Nicer Style DNA200 Mod down the road. Just me

That's what the mini ml single battery was selling for, that was over priced, the Q is in the ballpark ...........

I got myself the DNA version for xmass and i love it.

I dont have the rx to compare it with so i cant say if one is better than the other myself

when speaking to a guy at my local vape shop the other day who has both versions he says he prefers the DNA over the RX as it just delivers the power much better ie can hit a lot harder when needed .

how true this is i cant confirm

all i know is not all MOD's are equal as i have other makes and models and they all hit slightly different with the same build in the same RDA at the same power .

it's "hard to explain" because it's total bullcrap. it's the same mod. if anything, the RX200 would be a better shell since the buttons are better and it doesn't screw up the batteries like the DNA200. you are biased because you spent 100$ more on the DNA version. the fact that you are recommending a mod because of the "feel" just proves that. the TC, the types of TC it can support, accuracy, and reliability has proven more than capable on the RX200.

it boils down to this: if you want to tinker with customization, whether it be with the screen or temperature, get the DNA200. there's nothing wrong with that, just keep in mind you will be paying 100 more for it.

I'd say it's more dependent on how .... you are about temp control. If your a fan/gotta have that perfect temp control then evolv.

 

[coolerat]

I've got both of these chips.

BTW locally the price is 50 dollars apart so you may want to shop around.

In power mode it prolly doesn't make any differance.

For TC it's not even close. The DNA walks all over the RS. TC on the RS sorta works in a sorta way. TC on the DNA is flawless.

Thank you everyone... Can't tell you guys how much I appreciate your posts.

Just want to be sure, so let's say I don't care about the escribe or menu customizations, let's say it's purely about the actual vape I'm inhaling... Is the general consensus is that the RX200 is a better option due to big price difference?

I am willing to pay the extra money if the DNA version actually beats the RX overall in the actual vaping experience but not if it's more expensive because I can setup my menus the way I want or customization.

Thanks everyone...much appreciated...

I have the DNA 200 and it really is just the real deal. Great build quality, comfortable, battery life for literally days and the chip is super super accurate. I haven't tried the RX200, but I highly recommend the DNA!

People that say they're exactly the same...
No, in this case just because it looks like a duck doesn't mean it's a duck.

Shell:
Yes it looks the same, no it's not the same material. One is Aluminium the other Zinc alloy.

Internals:
This is where it's COMPLETELY different.

The RX200 uses an in house chip made by Wismec firmware developed by Joyetech.

The DNA200 uses the DNA firmware which is completely customizable without having to wait for a firmware upgrade. Too many features to list but if you want a review ses PBusardo's videos or head over to the DNA site and read everything there.

USB:
The RX200 should NOT be charged via USB as it simply cannot do proper balance charging that is required for multiple cells in series.

The DNA200 has a physical onboard chip that is dedicated to charging, real time monitoring and diagnostics of your batteries. you're able to physically watch the mod balance the batteries and charge the mod in real time on your PC. The firmware also allows you to setup custom battery discharge profiles for even greater accuracy.

Battery Life:
I get much better battery life out of my DNA than the RX but that's got ALOT to do with the fact that I can put the mod into discharge mod and test the exact mah of my batteries down to the last drop. Something that's not possible with the RX and yes this does make a difference when you charge them both up to full I see nearly a full half day more battery life out of my DNA than the RX.

Overall it's like comparing a Kia to a BMW, yes there is a space for both in the market. But if your putting them head to head which isn't even fair one is miles ahead of the other. I personally own both and like both. I will also say this the DNA does have a learning curve, but once you get past that it's well worth the hassle.

Thank you Jmarca for the detailed information, truly appreciate the time you took. Great point by point comparison... Again thank you.

From all the info by everyone here and outside as well, I get the impression, overwhelmingly, that the DNA version, due to the chip, provides an improvement in every area from battery management to screen customization.


And here is where Jmarca's analogy BMW to KIA analogy helps a lot.... As such, it seems the DNA (like the BMW) is better in every aspect. However, again from everyone's thoughts and information provided here and elsewhere, there doesn't seem to be much difference in the actual "Vaping." experience. In other words, its like the BMW (the DNA) is better in every aspect than the KIA (the RX), but they drive, practically speaking, about the same.

I am getting a 4 bay external charger and since I do not plan on every customizing my screen or using escribe or internally charging. Like I said, I would pay the extra if the actual cloud coming out of the mod was much better on the DNA version than the RX.

Since, that doesn't seem to be the case, I am going to get the RX and get another tank with the "potential" in monetary savings.

Thank you much everyone.....

 

[JMarca]

And that's perfectly acceptable that's why we have different markets, one low end one high end and then theres this new middle ground we're seeing which is great for vapers.

Oh yeah, I also left out 1 year US warranty on the DNA vs couple of month Chinese warranty from Wismec.

 

[OpenUpShop]

Thank you JMarca...

And lol, I have the mod in m cart right now and along with batteries, a charger I liked, another accessory and finally another tank...I am close to $200 bucks... So much for trying to save... Thanks again for the info...
