Got my rx200 also. Great mod for a great price, VapeNW is now selling them for $44. Just wondering which batteries do y'all recommend for this mod. Right now, Im running it with the Samsung 25r, but curious if the mxjo 3000mah or other batteries would last longer?
Yes they should, I would however recommend the LG HG2 20A 3000mah. Please check Mooch's review on the MXJO to get a better idea of the batteries capabilities.

Since my RX200 black one was faulty, I decided to get another one [emoji12]

Saw that on ebay. I like the black and white one personally. Glad to see someone is customizing it, for this a great bang for your buck mod, and a lot of people already has it.

Go for batteries by known manufacturers (LG, Samsung, Panasonic, Sony), not rewraps (Efest, Mxjo etc). That way you can trust the specs. I'd recommend the LG hg2 or Samsung 30q. Both are 3000 mAh and can do 20 amps, good for about 180w on a three battery mod. The Samsung is manufacturer-speced at 15 amps, but according to Mooch's tests it can be safely run at 20 amps.

I know this is an old thread and I hope no one will be annoyed if I ask a quick question about the RX200. I have ordered for one and I did not have much 3000mAh battery options within the same shop, so instead of going with the reliable Samsung 25R or Sony VTC5, I opted to go with Samsung 30Q. I presume it will suffice. Any thoughts? Cons?

I am finally getting serious to add one more mod to my arsenal and eyed onto reuleaux.
Question....... batteries are connected in series and therefore, if I understand it right, the output would be limited to the ratings of battery? I.e. Samsung 25R would be limited to 20A constant output.
I am running my TFV4 with .15 quad coil at 70W, 21A and just 3.2V. Suppose I go up to 100W, it would be 25A, over the limit of battery.

Why the hell couldn't they have put out all those color when they launched the product, there is no way I'm buying another one just to have a color I like

First off, resistance doesn't matter on a regulated mod. The amp draw is calculated from the set wattage and the battery voltage. Furthermore, the amp draw is highest when the battery is at it's lowest charge (due to the battery being pushed harder to deliver the set power). The formula is:

Watts (+10% to account for device inefficiency) / battery voltage (use the cutoff voltage) = amps

So, for example. A single battery or parallel setup:

110 (100w +10%) / 3.2v = 34.375 amps

The amp draw is divided between the batteries, so in a three battery parallel setup you get 11.46 amps per battery.

A three battery series setup:

110 (100w +10%) / 9.6v (the voltages are added) = 11.46 amps (per battery)

As you see, the amp draw is identical on a regulated parallel and a series setup with the same number of batteries. In theory at least.

"= 11.46 amps (per battery)" ? You mean per battery set up since this is in series......

Basically it's 11.46 per battery "pack", but as it's in series the draw is the same on each battery in the "pack". So 11.46 amps for the whole pack = 11.46 amps per each individual battery in the pack.
