I have a couple friends who have this device, one has had no issues at all, the other one has noticed the cells are not discharging evenly. When he pulls the 3 cells and lets them rest for a bit 2 will meter at 3.5 volts and the other 3.0 volts.

He is the only one I currently know who has this issue and is a good reminder to all of us to keep an eye on our cells.

im having probelms with mine overheating on very low settings with heavy usage just posted in newbies forum with all info

Explain - Low Watts................under 200 but maybe over 125? o_O
Explain - Heavy Usage...........repetitive chain vaping for cloud effects? :ohmy:

No real data = no real advice :shock:

Well we're old & we need you to tell us again here please!
heres my original post in newbie forum

hi folks new to this forum stuff but here goes ive been vaping for three years i just got rx200 which i bought to save me having to keep replcing batteries 3-4 times a day in other mods.
im a chain vaper on low settings not a cloud chaser.
i have been using the rx200 with an aspsire nautilus mini with 2.1 or 1.8 coils and a protank 1 tank with 2.5 coils at 3.5 - 3.8volts set at 5 - 6 watts and 3 x efest 3000-25amp bats and this mod gets warm after about 1 hour and just continues to get hotter and hotter until it hits the temp cut-out which is reportedly around 70 degrees acording to the info. its the board and the body that is heating up.
to my surprise the batteries are not heating up and remain cool. i know efest batteries have a bad rep but i use them all the time and had no problems. and checking the voltages of the 3 bats with the built in voltage balance checker on the mod they stay well balanced unusage and state of discharge.
i use the same tanks and batteries at the same settings on an inikon mvp, inikon vtr, oniyo 30wat box mod , smy 35wat box mod and even an old lavatube v2 and have never had any of these heat up above normal hand temp.
the only saving grace with this mod is that it does cut-out when it gets hot and wonder if most of the people who buy these mods are using the higher wattages have picked up on this possible fault with this mod under constant heavy use at low settings as most cloud chasers would only be using if for short bursts of time.
i would like to know if anyone else has this problem.

Thank you ian! that was helpful for me to a point. To save me the effort (because I'm effin lazy, LOL) of figuring out what watts that voltage gives could you please include the watts you have your RX set at?:headbang:
