Reuleaux RX200 + TFV4 - Oh No Did IT Again

[niczgreat]

Oh no did it again.
I have a great combination the Cloupor gt80 with a Uwell Crown for home vaping and a Evic Vt with a Supertank Mini for about Town and I'm a happy camper. Don't really need anything else although it's always advisable to have a backup.

Then browsing the forums came across the new Reuleaux RX200 a 3 Battery TC Mod with 200 Watt Capability. I've been curious for awhile to try the TVf4 but they say you need a powerful mod 100+ Watts for this Atty.

So after reading and watching reviews I just pulled the trigger on the Reuleax RX200 a TFV4 complete kit with tri and 4 coils.

VapeNW had the Reuleaux RX200 at $39.95 with $5.00 shipping
and risked it and bought the TFV4 on Ebay. Had trouble finding the Silver at a reasonable price and Ebay is often quicker than other sellers.

Of course to run safely need matched batteries, so bought 3 LG hg2 and 3 Samsung 30Q batteries. [BTW best price from trustworthy source is Orbtronics]. I figure using 2 different brands I won't get confused in pairing batteries. Surprised me because in the past Orbtronics was expensive. Paid $6.99 and $5.19 Respectively per battery.

Now I'm $100+ in the hole.
Anyone else using this combo, did I do good! Make me feel better!!

When it comes in a week I'll update the thread with my opinion, but in the meantime would really enjoy some opinions on this purchase. Hopefully Positive

You did good, You should love your new toys, I also bought my RX200 from Vape NW, it came a day early and could not be happier with it. I also have the the Lg's great batteries, almost two full days without a charge at 65w. The Crown performs great on the RX and the TVF4 does too. I have both the TVF4's Reg, and mini, but still prefer the Crown, but that is debatable for some. For the price of the RX you can't go wrong, only thing is you will spend almost as much or more on batteries for it. I updated the Firmware to 1.08 on it. I really hope they add another with TCR though because I am really liking the VTC mini with the 3.0 FW. It brings Temp to a whole new level.

I use a black TFV4 Mini on my black RX200. Snazzy looking combo and it has more than enough power for the coils.

 

[rallykid]

I use that EXACT combo. RX200, TFV4 and LG batteries. It has become my everything mod, home, work, out and about. Works flawlessly and only charge it every 2 days.

Advice for the TFV4: ignore the triples and use the quads for much bigger clouds and better flavor. However if you really want great flavor get the dual clapton factory coils. There is such a night and day difference for flavor that I can't even vape my quads anymore as the flavor tastes muted. I will say though I am a flavor chaser more than a cloud chaser but the dual claptons clouds very nicely, just not as big as the quads. The flavor difference is worth it though.

I think I prefer the Crown as well but the TFV4 Mini is growing on me. There are so many coils to try!

Thanks, I'll switch out the triple that comes with it and start off with the Quads. Then I'll need to pick up the Claptons. Ouch, paying attention to this forum is seriously denting my wallet.!

Got in my Rx200 and am very happy. The complaints about back door wiggle were non-existant for my Mod. Back cover nice and snug. The form factor is great. It's short and stubby and even though it has three Batteries looks smaller than the majority of Two Battery Battery mods.

VapeNW sent me a newer unit because it had firmware vs 1.07 on it, which I immediately updated to 1.08. I had trouble doing it on my PC home computer. But went in the office and it was an easy update on my CoWorkers Computer which is newer and has a fresh clean operating system.

My TFV4 is arriving today so I've only experimented on it with my Crown.

Was rocking my Crown at 90 Watts last night and the RX-200 didn't get hot. Maybe a little warm. Batteries were cool. Tried Temp Control SS on my Crown with both Firmware Version 1.07 and 1.08 but it didn't work protection kept cutting in and muting the vape. Not a surprise, I've heard TC has problems with Dual Coils.

To check batteries you need to turn the device off. Then hold all the buttons down for 20 seconds and it will show the batteries. I tried holding them down when the RX200 was on and it just kept cycling through Stealth Mode.

At the beginning there was a .07 difference between the Highest and lowest battery. After vaping a while this difference went down to .04. So I believe the Crown is balancing as it pulls from the Batts.

I'm very firm about not charging with it. I have a dedicated battery charger. From reviews I've read the USB charger may not be well balanced.

 

[rallykid]

Mine are consistently within .03 to .02 of each other and even when topping off through usb charging at work they stay consistent. The seem to "break in" and balance after a few cycles.

 

[inspects]

Simply put...the RX200 is really a great mod for $39.95. By far the best mod I've purchased in this price point. Heck, just a year ago the iStick 30's were selling for $40 bucks.

Add the Crown or the TFV4 and you have quite the combination still a very low price. I bought four of the RX200's. Heck, you can't go wrong. I'll probably buy four more RX's, just to stash away for future use.

for checking the batteries you don't have to hold down all the buttons, just the power and the down button. also its more like 10 seconds not 20.

Well my TFV4 arrived yesterday.
You guys are right, so far I think I've done good. !

Took it and changed to the Quad Coil as recommended by by Rallykid then filled it took some puffs at low temp then walked away. When I got back the juice had all leaked out. Luckily I I had forgotten to bring my RX-200 to work, so I had it standing up in the foam insert that comes in box. Again it was standing straight up. Since then it hasn't leaked so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

So I'm thinking hey I have a counterfeit on my hands, went to a site where they told me what to look for and it didn't show any signs of counterfeit. So I scratched off the label went to the Smok site and they told me it was authentic. I was still suspicious because of the initial leak and also I had noticed something. The printing on the box is cockeyed. Looks like a counterfeiter made a mistake on the edges. So I'm still wondering, then I went to Mad Vapes site who is the U.S representative for Smok and sure enough the box they have posted is cockeyed too. Guess I was paranoid. Smok Retail Boxes are cockeyed.

The RX200 use of 3 batteries really makes a difference, I've been vaping at 100 Watts and gone through 1/2 to 3/3 of a tank since 7:30am and the batteries are still above 4.0. I'm using the LG-HG2 3000mah Batteries.

My gosh this combination is monstrous. I was chain vaping in my small home office testing the limits and went up to 120 Watts, I decided not to go higher then 120 because I thought that is the top end of the rating for the Quad Atomizer. Just went to Smok and found out that the spec maxes at 140 Watts. I think I'll hold up on the 140 Watts because I don't want risk burning up the cotton. Any way I really smogged up the room, then my Wife saw the fog and was very upset. I kept trying to explain, Sigh... but she was saying " You are putting that stuff in you" . If she suspected that I'm a lunatic, she's now sure!

I've standardized on vaping the Quad at 100 Watts. I brought it in the office today and have gone outside for Vape Breaks. The vapor from a RX200 at 100 Watts with a TFV4 is just too intense for an office environment. Got to keep my vaping low key or they'll ban it.

Really enjoying the Clouds and Vapor.
My one worry or potential cause of dissatisfaction is I wonder if/when the TFV4 is going to decide to leak again.

Now I have a huge dilemma, which coil do I buy for the future. Too much choice.

You are preaching to the converted. So far form and function, it's absolutely amazing in a Sub $50.00 APV. It feels so solid, and they managed to get 3 18650 Batteries into it and it doesn't appear very large.

I want to try the octo core for huge clouds but honestly, nothing so far has beaten the dual claptons for flavor. I vape Nillionaire at 70 watts and the flavor is beyond anything I could get out of the quads with comparable clouds.

Just an update. Been on the Realeux rx200 and the TFV4 for 3 months.
Both are working very well. Been using the Clapton Octuplet Coils and very satisfying vape.
Very pleased knock on wood that after a few drops and daily use the Reuleaux is still running perfectly.

I Decided to buy a backup just in case. My problem was that they were banging me for tax in California and the places that carried the REuleaux rx200 didn't have the tfv4. So double shipping charges.

Searched awhile on google, no luck and then searched Bing and got what I consider a very good deal on both.
Bought at megacloudvape add the .com located in Ohio so no tax for me.
The Reuleaux rx 200 was at $43.95 Average Price
and the TFV4 Complete Kit at $27.95 Good Price [Good as I've seen]
I used a 5 percent coupon " 5off " and they threw in free shipping.
So I ended up paying $68.38 Total for the two. Best deal I could find in the U.S, living in California for having it shipped within the U.S.

No I have no affiliation with Megacloudvape Just wanted to update the thread and pass on a good deal.!
If they don't come through then I'll be back on the thread to pan them, otherwise smooth sailing.

you did good friend...

I have the RX200 not the TFV4, BUT I did read on the forums somewhere that the 510 on the RX200 might get stuck with the TFV4, something to consider and research yourself.

I had 2 RX200's, I suspect one of them was a clone, the clone's 510 had issues with a couple tanks that had a shorter 510 connection bc the spring for the pin isn't springing back...however the original one I bought is still chucking along fine after 1 month of use.

You had me paranoid with the talk of counterfeits. Didn't know they had them on the market.
Luckily the RX200 packaging has a scratch off sticker on the outside of the box.I went to wismec site and confirmed megacloudvape had sent me an authentic unit.

By the way megacloudvape also shipped quickly and packaged it well.

Since I use a TFV4 exclusively, guess I won't' worry about the spring bounce back.
