rx200: weight and batteries

[Ronzo]

I need a new box and a new atomizer. I like the rx200.
I want to buy with that box the Herakles Plus, is it good for the rx200? Because i rly like that atomizer.
I need a suggestion for which batteries i need to buy, I saw this batteries:
US18650VTC4 18650 3.7V 2100mAh Li - ion Battery 30A Discharge
Are 3 of this batteries good for my box?
And last question, some of my friends told me that it was a heavy mod
What do you think about this?
Thank you
Ronzo

Hi and welcome,

More will be revealed: WISMEC Reuleaux RX200 TC

Any thoughts to REULEAUX RX200W

Temperature Control

I have the exact setup, rx200 with herakles plus. It works great, I have a second rx200 coming in the mail that I will be pairing with the uwell crown (just shows you how much I like the rx200).

VTC4's are good batteries for the rx200, I personally have the LG HE2's and LG HG2's for both my rx200.

The mod is quite heavy especially with 3 batteries. Personally I don't find it pocketable just simply due to its weight, size wise its actually almost the same form factor as my single battery snow wolf mini and wotofo freakshow tiny.

Here's my generally understanding of batteries. If you're never going to be vaping above say 120-150W, you're better off with a 20A high capacity battery like the HG2 (3000mah). The VTC4 can handle more power but you're substituting battery life for the power (its rated at 2100mah).

And in case you're wondering, I'm using the 316L coils on the herakles and I find that I need about 65-75W for a good vape. Of course this varies from user to user.

Thank you, I would put the rx200 in my inside pocket of my jacket, haha I hope that it will be possible xD
Another curiosity: How much liquid the herakles plus drink?
P.S sry for the english, I'm italian xD

I do see myself maybe carrying the rx200 around during the winter because you wear coats, jackets what not that have bigger pockets but during the summer months...maybe not lol

The herakles is more of a juice guzzler than the crown, not exactly sure by how much because it also depends on where you're vaping in the power spectrum (or temp), how often you hit your vape (do you chain vape), which coils you have in the tank, etc etc..

I chain vape throughout the day, switching between a crown and a herakles. crown has 0.5ohm coils @ 45W, herakles has 0.4ohm@ 70W. I go through about maybe 6-8ml of juice per day, if that helps.

If you're worried about juice consumption, try using their ni200 temp control coils. from what i understand Temp control should conserve juice when compared to non-temp controlled ones.

Thank you again, have you ever tried the rx200 with just 2 batteries? How is it?

 

[rice721]

I wasn't aware the rx200 can function with only 2 batteries?

 

[aceman3330]

I carry my Wismec Reuleaux quite a lot, both the RX200 and the DNA200, depending on which tank or rda I feel like using.
Here's how I carry it ...

Wismec in inner slot, iPhone in outer, easy.

Edit: top pictures have both RX200 with Indestructible RDA and iPhone already inside.

Yes, btw I have another question xD (sry, I'm annoying), What's the problem of charging the 3 batteries via USB?
Because I think that is a problem for me buy a Charger for the batteries only
I saw on the Wismec site that is not raccomended charging the batteries using the USB port of the rx200.
Why not? For the batteries life? For a complete charge?
It's a problem for me, I think i can't buy a separate charger too
Thanks again and again for your help
Thanks aceman for showing me a way to bring the rx! <3

Just tried taking the closest battery out of my rx200, it wouldn't turn on

 

[rice721]

I think theres a few reasons why u shouldn't charge via their usb
1. all 3 batteries don't charge equally via their usb
2. its just slow as hell to charge via their usb
3. u run the risk of damaging the battery (or so i've heard)

Its just better to get a separate charger. I have the nitecore D4 charger, it works okay, all 4 bays don't charge independently so if u have 4 batteries charging all at once its kinda slow.

I believe there are 4 bay chargers out there that have independent slots, if i were to choose again i'd get the luc v4 by efest

Lg hg2 3000mah most rated battery for life

And don't think because you have three batteries the mods life will last forever cause it don't unless you vape 20-40w

 

[Baditude]

You'll get faster charging via a box battery charger (made by Xtar, Nitecore, or Efest LUC), and arguably safer charging. More problems (fires) have occurred with the onboard usb charging boards of several mods that use them than with box battery chargers. I myself would never trust the onboard charger on any regulated mod, but that's me and my safety conscience.

I have the Wismec RX200. I use three LG HG2 3000mah batteries in mine. I use a Nitecore Intellicharger i4 battery charger. Uwell Crown tank.



You need three batteries for the RX200 to even turn on. Be aware of the battery orientation; the first two go in positive down, the final one goes in positive up.

The RX200 is the heaviest mod I own. I can comfortably carry it in a coat pocket. Not sure what I'll do this summer... ... maybe in the pocket of cargo pants?

 

[Paul lamb]

Yuuuuuup

The rotation of batteries gets a tad hard to manage after a few days lol

I have two rx and a dna releaux and always tried battery rotation but it's almost impossible to keep it up unless you write it down

The batteries are arranged in a Series.

What that means is that the current flows from one battery to the next. So you are dumping all of that charge into the first battery. Some flows into the second battery, and some of that charge flows into the third. To get that third battery fully charge you're dumping a LOT of excess charge into the first battery which can damage it. You're basically having to run 3 batteries worth of charge through the first battery in the series.

Thank you for this explanation, so clear
