Wismec rx200 not working

[Amahana]

Hello my name is simon and im 20 years old i just bought a wismec rx200 mod and it worked for 2 days but now its just keeps saying check battery and when i check the battery voltage it says 0.89 and the two other ones is not even reading it it just reads 0 and the batteries are brand new so my question is if anyone knows how to fix this? thank you for you're time and have a happy new year

What batteries are you using? (name brand letters & numbers on wrap)
What are you using to charge them?
Have you checked the batteries with a multi meter?
If they are actually that low in V, they are done, toast.

im using brand new sony vtc batteries

Authentic sony vtc batteries? vtc 3, 4 or 5?
There are as many fake vtc 4's & 5's on the market as authentic.
Did you get them from a reliable dealer/vendor or?

What happens when you put the batteries in the charger?
Do they go through a normal charge cycle?
After fully charging & installing them in the wismec what do the batteries read then?
Are you installing the batteries in the correct orientation in the charger & power device?

Sounds like they may not be making good connection in the wismec.
Are the battery contacts springy, seem tight.

Since it it new probably best to take it back to the place you bought it.

The i4 won't tell you the precise (volts) level of charge, but you should charge up those batteries and see what the mod reads them at once you know they are fully charged.

Maybe they arrived part-discharged? (not unusual). I would expect the mod to turn itself off (or something similar) at some point.

If the batteries are that low then they are pretty much dead. Sony VTC anything is the #1 battery that is faked. I own 2 Wismec RX200 (white/teal & black/black) and a Wismec DNA 200 "I wanted the get the whole family LOL!!" No issues with the Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mah batteries. Where did you purchase the batteries? If on eBay the chance that they are fake is about 95%. If it was a local shop that chance is about 50% that they are fake. On that mod I would use either a 2500mAh or 3000mAh batteries. Forget VTC3 its only 1600mAh, VTC4 is only 2100mAh and the VTC5 is 2600mAh, but again over priced and highly counterfeited!!

Now what version of software do you have on your RX200? The current version as of today is 1.08 which corrected font issue, but 1.07 did address performance issues. I have heard of a few users that did have a similar issue as you did. To check the version of the mod. Power off "press fire button 5 times", now press the fire button 20 times. It will display the version number. BTW if you press the fire button 10 times it display the mod's temperature. To exit press the fire button once.

The Nitecore charger that you are using is a good charger. I have the D4 version "LCD Display"

Did you put the batteries correctly in the mod?

The mod has reverse protection "I tested that myself and it works" If the batteries were inserted incorrectly, it wouldn't even power up.

The mod can't be on if he's checking the battery voltage.

LOL.... If the batteries were inserted incorrectly there wound't be the error message of "Check Battery". It would just have no power whatsoever.

OK opened up the user manual. "Check Battery:" When one of the cells is not inserted incorrectly.

So I stand partially corrected lol.. If "one" of the cells is inserted incorrectly, you'll get that message. I would guess also that if one of cells are bad you'd get that message as well. Though I would really question how real those Sonys are.

I'm in agreement too many fake Sony's floating around.
I'd suggest that he go to orbtronics.com and purchase 3 LG HG2
everyone says that battery works great on the RX200. Orbtronics is
reasonable and very reputable.

 

[this is my name]

I like orbtronics. Ordered 4 Samsung 25r green for less than $25 and got them in 3 days. Illum.com is good, too.

Sounds like bad batteries to me.. May not be fakes just a bad batch, shipped incorrectly, have had too many cycles or just really old...

go to a shop and ask if you can try some of their batteries to see if they are the problem or if the mod is.

Unless you buy batteries from a certified dealer it's a very high likelihood you got counterfeits .

Never buy batteries off E Bay they are overflowing with fakes although most vendors show pictures of authentic's to fool people.

+1, bad batteries for a guess. Most auto parts stores, battery shops and electronic supply houses have a volt meter handy and will check them for you. And get some LG HG2s for that mod, from Orbtronic, Illumn or RTDVapor.

I wonder what the hell happened to the OP?

Can't go wrong with those suppliers.

I came home from fishing , took the aspire batteries from the d4 charger...put them into my rx200...screwed on the uwell crown and at 50 watts on the 3rd puff the rx200 screen said atomizer low so i screwed on the herakles plus at the same 50 watts....as i fired it the rx 200 said device too hot.....the tank was cold ! On the next fire the screen went dead and the device stopped working....i have only had this device for 7 days....very disapointing.
