Hello and welcome. After a long string of pod reviews I’m very happy to be here today to present a review on a mod kit. I was sent the new Hellvape Hell200 Kit by Hellvape in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. The Hell200 is an incredibly lightweight mod at 86g and uses dual 18650 batteries and obviously from the name has a maximum output of 200 watts. It offers seven different output modes and has a .96” color display screen. Coupled with the Hell200 mod is the TLC tank and includes two mesh coils while the tank has a liquid capacity of 5ml with the straight glass pre-installed or 6.5ml with the included optional bubble glass. I have to admit that I am rather excited to see another mod kit from Hellvape after very much enjoying the Arez 120 mod from them.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
I very much like the shape of the body of the Hell200. It reminds me of the shape of the Riva mod I have and like very much. It is made through CNC machining of aerospace grade aluminum to give it a very solid build appearance as well as keeping it lightweight.
The packaging for the Hell200 is more like what I’m used to seeing compared to my last Hellvape sample. The black box front has the Hell200 name along with the Hellvape logo and a nice drawing/sketch of the mod and tank. The back side of the package has the company information, a list of the package contents, an authenticity code and a bar code with the color version.
The orange sides of the box have another sketch of the Hell200 and TLC tank on one side and the phrase “Evolve your vaping genius” in a font that gives the impression of being hand written.
Once opened, the Hell200 mod with TLC tank with straight glass can be seen. To the left is the included bubble glass that increases the liquid capacity to 6.5ml and the USB-C charging cable. Also included is an accessory bag with o rings for the tank, two coils, warranty card, and user manuals for each of the mod and tank. The two coils included are a.15ohm KA1 mesh coil rated at 60-70 watts and a .2 ohm KA1 mesh coil rated at 50-60 watts. It is nice how Hellvape used red o rings for the .15 ohm coil and blue o rings for the .2 ohm coil to help the user easily tell the difference when installing a new coil.
I’m going to start out by taking a look at the TLC Tank that is included in the kit. From what I can tell, the TLC tank seems to be a larger version of the Launcher Mini tank that I previously reviewed some time ago. In case you didn’t know, TLC stands for Top Loading Coil. The coils for this tank load differently than most tanks where they are either a push in style or threaded. For the TLC tank, you simply unscrew the drip tip base that the drip tip attaches to and drop in a coil. Inside where you drop in the coil there is a spring loaded contact that makes connection with the bottom of the coil. Then once you thread the drip tip base and drip tip back in then it completes the circuit to provide power to the coil. The drip tip base is not attached to the top cap so you can unscrew the top cap to fill through one of the two fill ports without removing the drip tip or the base.
Like I mentioned earlier, the TLC tank is easily filled by simply turning the top cap ¼ turn and removing it without removing the drip tip base or drip tip. The fill ports are very large and I was easily able to fill the tank with a 50ml bottle. When I first received the kit, I disassembled and cleaned the tank with hot water and a drop of soap. While I had it apart I went ahead and installed the included bubble glass since I had a feeling that these coils were going to go through a lot of liquid and I ended up being right. The .15 ohm coil seemed to especially blast through a lot of liquid.
Now let’s take a look at the Hell200 mod. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised at how lightweight it was but it still had a feeling of quality. It is made through a CNC machining process and is made out of aerospace grade aluminum. The quality of craftsmanship shows through in the end result in my opinion.
The body shape of the mod was something I recognized and reminded me of the shape of my Riva 200 and Riva dna250c mods. I think the best way to show the shape of the mod is from the top view. The 510 connection has a gold plated spring loaded center pin and the top is held in place with three torx head screws.
The body of the version that I received is silver that fades toward black at the bottom. It’s a really well done fade in my opinion and I like it very much. The entire body is aluminum and there isn’t the usually leather like patch on the back like we see on many mods. The back side of the mod has two long grooves machined into it which can give the user a place to rest their fingers while holding it depending on the size of your hands. I don’t have large hands and find it very comfortable to hold. The Hell200 name is printed near the bottom of the mod which is really the only branding on the mod.
The dual 18650 batteries are loaded from the bottom on this one. The battery door is slid open and there is an arrow on the bottom to show you which way to move it to open. The spring loaded hinge seems to be really sturdy from what I can tell and after a few times tapping the base on my desk it didn’t pop open. The battery polarity is marked on the bottom side of the battery door but is not marked on the inside bottom of the tubes like I do see on some mods.
The front of the Hell200 has an indentation machined into the front that helps to protect the buttons and screen. At the top is a fairly large round fire button that has a nice feel to it. Below that is the .96” color display screen followed by the + and – buttons and finally the USB-C charging port. The display screen shows the following operation.
So I’ve told you that there are different modes but haven’t told you how to switch between them or how to use the included features. The following are the button operations as I understand them.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I was very happy to receive the Hell200 Mod Kit for review. I had just received seven pod devices for review and the mod was a very welcome change. I really enjoyed testing it. I think the design of the TLC tank is rather ingenious. To be able to change a coil out in a few seconds with no mess by simply unscrewing the drip tip tube and popping the old one out and dropping a new one in is a really nice feature.
I ended up running the .2 ohm coil at 47 watts which is a little lower than the recommended 50-60 watt range but it performed well and I felt like the flavor production was very good with the airflow about 1/3 open and the vapor was dense. With the .15 coil I started it around 50 watts and worked my way up to 60 watts which was the bottom end of the range for this coil. The vapor was even more dense and flavorful with the airflow about ½ open. The tank gives plenty of airflow for either coil. Actually more than I needed. It is a top fill tank like most of the tanks I see these days. Normally 5ml capacity would be plenty but when I saw the wattage range of these coils, I immediately installed the bubble glass to get the 6.5ml capacity and am glad I did. I was able to go through about half of a tank just on my 20 minute drive home while using the .15 coil. Normally I can quickly pick a favorite out of the coils provided with a tank but these two were close enough that I really didn’t have a strong favorite. Maybe because of the denser vapor I would pick the .15. Even at 60 watts the vapor wasn’t too warm for me.
Then there’s the Hell200 mod. It has a really nice hand feel to me and the CNC machining on the aluminum body was very well done as was the silver to black color fade. The .96” display screen was easy for me to read and it’s nice that the brightness is adjustable. Also having seven different output modes doesn’t hurt either for those that just want the mod and choose to run TC with a different tank than the TLC. I got nowhere near the 200 watt maximum and never will. It did seem like the battery management was very good on this one. I ran about 300 puffs with the .2 coil and then switched to the .15 coil and probably another 200 or so puff with the .15 coil and still had some battery life left in the dual 18650’s when I decided to go ahead and switch out the batteries. If there was one thing I could change then it would be able to change the display color. It’s not a con but would prefer a different color scheme for the display. I plan on keeping this one in rotation for some time to come. It’s nice to have a dual 18650 mod that is so lightweight.
So, would I recommend the Hellvape Hell200 Mod Kit for you? Absolutely! I very much like it and really have no complaints on it. I may not be as picky as some are but I thought the mod and the tank performed fantastically. I had zero leaking or condensation with the tank and no issues at all with the mod.
I’d like to thank Hellvape and Jessica for sending the Hell200 Mod Kit for this review. It has been a real pleasure. Thanks to you the readers! Below is a link to the Hellvape website where you can find the Hell200 and all of the other tanks and things that Hellvape has to offer.

- Mode of operation(Power, TC-Ni, TC-Ti, TC-SS, TC-TCR, VPC, and Bypass)
- Two separate battery level indicators
- Set wattage(when in power mode)
- Coil resistance
- Voltage while firing
- Length of time of current puff in seconds
- Puff Counter
So I’ve told you that there are different modes but haven’t told you how to switch between them or how to use the included features. The following are the button operations as I understand them.
- Press the fire button 5X to turn the mod on/off
- Press the fire button 3X in two seconds to enter the mode settings and use the + and – buttons to scroll through them. Press the fire button for one second to confirm the selection or wait five seconds and it will automatically save the selection.
- Press the + or – button to adjust the wattage by .5 watts or long press and it will scroll by 1 watt increments.
- Press the + and – buttons to lock the wattage adjustment but the mod will still fire
- To clear the puff counter, press the fire button three times then press the fire button to select the puff counter. Press the – button to clear the puff counter.
- Long press the fire button and the + or – button to adjust the screen brightness
