I didn't see one, so here it is!
I feel like this model is sufficiently different to warrant its own thread, but if not please remove or merge.
I own an original RX200 which is still working dandy (I'm probably lucky that I don't use smok tanks...) and reviewed the 200S, but don't own one. My 2/3 came in the mail today-- red and black-- and I am liking it so far. My pros and cons:
Pros:
-The obvious option to use 2 or 3 batteries
-2-battery enclosure still feels ergonomic in my hand
-upgraded connector from original 200 (though inconsistent information about whether it's the same connector as 200S)
-multiple colors, love the red and black for a change
-big screen
-clicky button
-decent construction for an inexpensive mod*
-seemingly vastly improved TC from original RX200
Cons:
-battery doors a little fiddly, no audible click when closed on mine. however, so far the closure seems sturdy enough.
-6V cutoff in two-battery mode?! I'd love to be able to use a 1.2ohm coil at more than 30W on a 150W device, if I so choose! (Note: I may not be fully understanding the electricity here, seeing as the device can take a third cell, so if this is unavoidable then someone correct me and I will remove it.)
*-some gaps in machining, but nothing egregious and nowhere you wouldn't expect it (like slight gaps top of battery door in 2-battery mode)
-Some toppers are a LITTLE wobbly in the connection, and you always want to be careful tightening down too tight with these inexpensive connectors.
Subjective:
-2 battery enclosure-- or three, for that matter-- may not be as comfortable in some hands
-Screen orientation: especially when over 100W, the numbers have to really crunch in narrow to fit. It's readable, and the screen is so much bigger than the original. But it's kind of weird. The Cuboid 150W screen and font is much more clear.
-Because of the 6V cutoff in 2-battery mode, this means there's a certain limit to how high you may want to go in terms of resistance. This is completely dependent on vaping style, but it would certainly be nice if it could do a little more when using higher res coils. However, I guess it's best to think of 2-battery mode as more of a "portable mode" with slightly, barely reduced features.
Anyway, so here it is, the owner's thread. Carry on!
