I been using the RSQ for a little over a month and pretty much haven't put it down. I gotta say though the chip on this mod sucks! The past week it has been so temperamental with miss fires, shorting messages. Its a shame because I love everything about this box and hope they can get this chip fixed with updates.
No issues with shorts or misfires here. Running the latest firmware update, using a single coil in a Goon v1.5 (clone) @ 0.2 ohms.
Pretty much my favorite mod ever.
The only thing I would change is to not ask me if I have a new coil when the "old" one reads 0.20 and the "new" one is also 0.20 ohms, which usually happens when I change the battery.

I updated mine yesterday after i made my post and now the mod wont turn on .. Its a complete brick tried to contact hotcig but they won't respond.
Try your vendor
Ordered mine today,stainless and black,looking forward to pairing it up with my drop rda,sure hope it won't turn into a brick after I update it 
OMG,that blows,I sure hope you can get to work again,I feel for you budI updated mine yesterday after i made my post and now the mod wont turn on .. Its a complete brick tried to contact hotcig but they won't respond.
I got mine in and I honestly really like it I just hate the light cycles after each hit. I am apprehensive to update after hearing some stories of bricked mods
I hadnt heard of the issue of bricking except the one post here. I'd say there are far more individuals who have upgraded the firmware successfully as have bricked their device. Worse case, if you decide to not update you can always just turn it off and will obviously just have to reset each time you change the battery.
I went on hot cigs site and it shows R download,then HM chip I think,which one is to be used to upgrade the rsq please? Thanks

You will need both. You install the HM Chip tool and open the RSQ Update file within it. The HM Chip Tool allows you to change your initial splash screen on the device, the draw cutoff (usually 10 seconds for instance), etc.. It is the tool that I assume they use for all of their boards. The RSQ Update file is the specific script for uploading the RSQ. You will need to point the HM Chip tool to that file so it upgrades appropriately. A forum in South Africa is actually what I used for the instructions. There is also a Youtube video out there, which while not in English, at least provided more clarification to visually see someone update the software.
Forum Instructions - Hotcig RSQ firmware upgrade - keep LED off.
Video of update process -
It isnt at all. The video made it all clear to me even if I couldnt understand what they were saying.Thank you so much for getting back to me,yikes it sound complicated
So did you take you're battery out,click the + and - buttons and all that jazz? Video doesn't really show all that,maybe it's written there but it's in Chinese
I used these instructions and the most recent Dec.1 .dfu file in the link.
Not sure if it's the same as the Nov. file posted others are using.

No, my manual didnt mention that at all so even though others were mentioning it I opted to just plug it up first. As soon as I plugged my mod to my computer it prompted me on if i wanted to charge or update, I chose update and proceeded accordingly.
If I remember correctly the December file is the firmware update and the November file is the last update to the HM Chip tool.
That could be.
Not sure why they have 2 websites.
hot-vapor.com is on the back of the box.
hotcigtech.com is in the instructions that came in the box (this is where I downloaded from)
Any places have these close to the breazy price? At the like $76 price I find everywhere else I'll just get another Gbox.
