So I just received my RX 2/3... I like it but the 510 connector is shaky with some tanks. The best tank so far is the Griffin 25 (No wobble). My Gemini 22 is wobbling like crazy! Just wanted to post this maybe, it may help some people with purchase decisions.

What's wobbling, the tank or the connector itself? Does the tank screw down flush?
Yes just the Tank. I think maybe the 510 is stiff because It's new. I'm scared to break it with rough housing it.

Update: Actually after I screw it all the way down it stops reading the tank. It's definitely a different 510 as of the RX200s

Do not forcefully tighten atties on the mod. Wismec/Joyetech/Eleaf 510s have very little travel and you might damage it by overtightening. Use a spacer instead.

Thanks for the tips! Thats what Im afraid of. I know It has more give, I made the decision to just use it with Tanks it works with more easily. The Griffin seems to work perfect. Thanks guys!!

I don't own the 200S but I got to review it and I just got my 2/3 (purchased)... the connectors seem quite the same, but it's hard to say of course. I had read that the 200S connector was the same as on the DNA200 body and I can't really imagine they went backwards, but I have no idea. I'm not really having any trouble with wobbling, at least not beyond what is reasonable for a $40 mod.

I figured out why it was wobbling. They made the pin a tad bit longer so all tanks would read on the RX2/3 I made a video on it as well. .

IMO that's really not a bad thing... I've had many frustrations with tanks not making a connection. We'll see how the 2/3 connector holds up but at least on mine, I'd barely call it a wobble. More like I can feel it shift slightly if I press too hard but it's pretty solid all things considered.
I understand where your coming from. I figured out why it wobbled.... On the Gemini Vaporesso the bottom pin is longer then most other tanks. And it was that the Gemini tank itself. It only wobbles on that specific tank. All the other tanks fit fine. The new RX2/3 has a longer 510 now.

Good to know, thanks! So far everything I've put on there has been OK. I've got a couple of atomizers, notably my Twisted Messes, with crazy long pins that I might not even try on the 2/3 until it's good and old. Pretty sure my TM basically broke the spring-loaded connectors in my SMOK M80 (PoS anyway) and my Tesla Two (that one I was sad about but it still works with the TM and toppers adjustable pins). The rest of them are probably fine, in terms of the connector possibly being a bit sensitive.

Glad you figured out the issue yours was having! A tiny bit of wobble isn't usually a dealbreaker or anything-- for me-- but no doubt it's annoying.

I think there's a tiny wobble in all of them. The RX200S is supposed to have the DNA200 510 connector that doesn't break when you screw the atomizer all the way down.

I ordered a Kepler 510 heat sink to go on my RX200S, just in case. It has adjustable contact screws, one in the bottom contact and the other inside the threads. You can adjust it to make proper contact on the mod and the atomizer with the top and bottom screws. It also absorbs and radiates heat through the fins to prevent atomizer heat from sinking into the mod case.

This is the one I ordered. The picture is low res and makes the threads look rough. The actual part is shiny SS as are the threads.

I have one of those! They work good If you do not want to wear out your 510 connector. But be careful you don't screw the pin all the way out then screw it on the mod. It can cause more headaches.

I just keep mine screwed in until it stops, not forced. You do have to hold it when you unscrew the atomizer or they will come out together. Still, it's a good heat sink and good for 510 connector protection. The RX200 isn't built with a heavy metal case like the Koopor or the Snow Wolf. There's lots of plastic in it.

There's no plastic in the rx200 case. The battery sled, yes, but that's not the case.

My RX200S is light as a feather with the batteries removed. Compared to something like the Smok Koopor or the Snow Wolf, which are heavy metal beasts, it's a lightweight once the batteries are removed. That's good because 3 batteries add a lot of weight.

But, the thread is about a different animal that I didn't know existed. The RX 2/3. My bad ...

These days it's hard to keep up with all the new stuff hitting the market with the FDA new product rules.

The RX200s is fairly light even with batts compared to the Koopor
Primus..The batts in parallel in the Koopor last longer on a single charge..no problem with the 510 pin running a variety of tanks on either mod..Love'um both, lololo
