RX200 or IPV 5?

[Edd Harbin]

Looking for a new mod and want some input . Looking for something inexpensive but with a decent chip . Want it to At least do 120 watts and have decent battery capacity . Have got it down to the RX200 and the ipv 5 . I have a reaulex dna and once had the ipv 4S so I am familiar with both . Which should I pick up?

IPV5 since you have the reuleaux DNA version

With two 20 amp batteries you're limited to 120w (to stay within the cdr of the batteries) so if you want better battery life go for the Rx200.

Ipv5 hits better than the rx in my opinion

I have 3 releaux and apart from my DNA my ipv5 is my go too

Truthfully for the price the RX is nice I've never been a fan of iPV products I would look at the Wotofo Chieftain myself my friend has one and it is an awesome device and exceeds 200 watts and the price is on point with the forementioned devices I'm waiting for the sigelei 213 to become available most everywhere they are still preorder and I don't like someone holding my money you know

IPV5. Lots of issues going on with RX200. See the device threads

Affecting a really tiny percentage of devices. The rx200 is a tried and true mod, with a tried and true chipset.

I believe the only issue going on with the RX200 is the 510 pin getting stuck from using atty's with long 510 pins such as the Smok TFV4.

As for which mod, you can't go wrong with either of them.

The rx is a brilliant mod, true power, great battery life, upgraded firmware (often) we all know the success it has been

Thought I'd input some positive comments

Don't get me wrong, I love the RX200 except for the 510 being shallow and I had an issue with the chip and there are also battery issues that some people are having. My biggest issue isn't with the device as most people do seem satisfied by it. My biggest issue is with the warranty.
How many of you know that using a tank or RDA that is not made by Wismec/Joyetech will void your warranty. a member here mentioned it and I thought, "no, that can't be right". So I googled it, "Faulty Wismec Reuleaux RX200". Now I know it is an inexpensive mod made in China, but come on, really, how many people are buying a 200 watt device to only use tanks and RDAs made by Wismec/ Joyetech?
I personally didn't like the idea of that, whether I would use the warranty or not.

Yes the warranty is another issue and might turn would be buyers away. I haven't experienced any battery / heating issue (as mentioned on the forum) with both my RX200s. My red/black did experience 510 issue where a shorter 510 atty fails to make a connection. Also, I found the ni200 TC mode to be less accurate than my DNA200 mods (which is expected).

Its still a bargain for $25-$30.

Yes the 510 can easily be switched out and I was planning on doing that until mine started having heating issues with the chip. Hopefully Wismec will come out with a version 2 that corrects some of the issues like the 510 pin.

I'm about to own both. I love my rx200 but I agree if you have Rx dna then for a change of pace and get the ipv5

Well I returned my RX200 to VapeNW and opted for store credit instead of replacement device. I got my store credit in 2 days, fast and painless I also had gone ahead and ordered an IPV5 on sale for $35.95 at Wake and Vape and since I really loved my RX200 before it started having a heating problem, and despite my misgivings about Wismec Warranties, I used my store credit to get another one. Fingers crossed I get one without problems. In the meantime, I received my IPV5 today and so far am loving it.
