Hey guys!As the title says,I wanna found wich is better,RX200 or X-Cube II?I heard a lot of claims(X-Cube II)about the fire button and about the magnetic battery cover,and also I heard that Wismec's battery life it's just perfect,and also his desings.So I want to hear your opinions!

P.S. Is Herakles Plus a good choice?smok TFV4 consumes too much liquid and anyway,I'm not a rba fan.(I don't know anything about making coils)

Hi Don. Those are the two mods I use the most on a daily basis. I prefer the Wismec RX 200 for comfort and battery mah. The Cube II is not as uncomfortable with the long fire bar as one might think and the batteries are really easy to change. The LED is a gimmick in my opinion and I don't care for the bluetooth/phone thingy.

Both are upgradeable firmware, both have temp control.

I'd suggest looking at the Uwell Crown tank. I am on my first .25 ohm coil and have vaped over 80 ml without it needing changed.

Hi Don. I have two of the RXs, but not a Cube. The fire bar on the Cube is, I think, is a gimmick and the LEDs would run me postal in about 8 seconds. For all of that, though, I hear it's a nice mod. Still, I know the RXs and can recommend them without qualification. There are two issues with them I know about-- be happy to tell you if you're interested-- so they're not perfect, like anything is or could be. Still, I think they're about the best buy in the market right now.

Yeah,I would be happy to find out that issues so PM me and let me know about it!Thanks a lot!
I don't mind posting them publicly :) I am hardly the only person who knows.

One is, the balanced charging board is supposed to not work well. You can't prove it by me, I never charge batteries in the mod anyway. I have, and use, stand alone chargers. But if you're intending to charge in the mod, maybe the RX is not your first choice.

The other is the 510 connector is kinda janky. If the 510 connector on your topper is too long-- I have read longer than 4.6mm, but I can't swear to it-- the mod will "lose" the atomizer occasionally. It will show zero resistance and not fire, despite the atty being plainly visible right there on top of it, or the fact it worked just fine 5 minutes ago when you set it down after your last vape. I do not claim to understand this, myself. I have an Indulgence MT-- the evil black one, #3-- that will do it a dozen times a day. But the same mod will only do it once a week with MT #1, and hasn't yet done it in over a month with MT #2. All three tanks are supposedly interchangeable parts, except for the fact #3 is painted black and the other two are stainless. Anyway, it's not hard to fix. Just take the tank off the machine and put it back on; it will magically find it again and vape just fine until the next time. Not a real problem, but it can be annoying. If the annoyance factor bothers you, the 510 can be easily replaced by a handy person with a drill and a soldering iron and 7 bucks to buy a new connector from Fat Daddy Vapes or Varitube. Instructions for do doing are located here. You might want to hit the link just to see the photos. My friend Noob did a great job putting his in, and the pics are worth a look just to see how it's built.

If you don't want to charge your batteries in a charger, the Xcube won't work. The "usb"slot is for upgrades only.
On the other hand you'll not want to charge the Wismec via usb only because it takes long. What's more is that it doesn't have a balancer. So your 3 batteries will slowly drift apart and will come near a divorce sometime.
You should go to a store and take the 2 into your hand to try what feels more comfortable to you.

One thing, the price.... as far as I know, the Wismec is a bit cheaper. Look at Gearbest tomorrow, they'll have the black one for 34€, about 36$ in 14 hours. The white/green one is on sale right now for about 38$

Damage the USB and you can not take advantages of the updates when they are released. A guy I know relied on the on board charger and never got an external charger, now his USB is damaged. He also never loaded 3.0 update (not that it helps much on the charging). I have had the Cube2 and loved it, kinda miss driving the fire bar in my palm as I am hitting. I like my RX200 better though. Please do yourself a favor and invest in a charger. If you get anymore mods it will come in handy.

The RX200 wins hands down IMO. I have 2 and those are excellent devices. The only con I can think of which isn't really a con is the size but that's due to the power it puts out. I've been using 2 for a while now and haven't experienced any problems. Although this device can be charged via USB it is recommended not to. I charged my mod a few times via USB and I have to agree with @Marmaduke the batteries don't charge evenly and have the same voltage. I guess it's okay to charge it once in a while with USB but not everyday. I think you will be much happier with the RX200 if you like the feel, to me it's very ergonomic.

With regards to the tank, I've heard good things about the sense harakles plus (seen reviews) however I would like to also recommend the Horizon Arctic V8. It gives good flavor and excellent vapor production. This tank also has many coil options to choose from. This tank does tend to use a lot of juice though not as much as the TFV4.

I hope this helps.
