For some i agree, but for me i work 9 hour days as a bricklayer with no power supply to charge mods and dont want the hassle of changing batteries in my mod while at work, power all the way for me 

tbh I was a bit concerned when I had ordered one about batt life but it seems to be unfounded
I used a sig 75 as m main mod and I used to change batts at least 3 times a day (25r)but the rx200 lasts me 2 days unless I'm playing around at stilly power(30q)


just don't drop it on any one from a height as is weighs about the same as an accy brick

I think i need to try the 30q i have lg hg2 in, how do you charge yours? I had sig 75w but had to change batt about the same as you, after that i brought a smok m80 xpro which would last the day no problem till the usb port broke hence buying the rx200 i was expecting 2 days and not getting a day out of it, something isnt right, and you would defo need a hard hat if one of these hit you from height lol

What batteries, tank and which mod? If its a rx200 i have something wrong 2 tanks in my uwell crown 0.25 coil 60w about 7 hours at work and im lucky if it last before i get home, about the same as my smok m80 did before the usb port broke.

RX200 using LG HG2 batteries with a Smok TVF4 with the triple TF-T3 coil reading 0.21ohms at 70w

Im using the same batteries with a uwell crown at 60w 0.25 dual coil, if i put the dripper on with 0.20-0.23 dual clapton at 70w its wont last me a few hours, how do you charge your batteries?

I'm gona get shot but using usb to charge as I only have a d2 charger at the moe
did get the batts from torchy and they have only been used in the rx200
using mostly the mutation tank at around 0.2/0.3ohms 60/100 watts and way more than 8 tanks worth
I also updated firmware s soon as I got it

where did you get the batts from because summut don't sound right

I got them from fastech so dont know what to think, i have been charging through the usb aswell i have got a d4 charger on the way, the batteries are brand new but never have balance very well not acording to my rx200 so im wondering if its not charging properly, mine came with v3 software when i got it also from fastech it says now when hold all buttons down 3.61 3.61 3.75

thinking it might be the batts

Im using the same batteries with a uwell crown at 60w 0.25 dual coil, if i put the dripper on with 0.20-0.23 dual clapton at 70w its wont last me a few hours, how do you charge your batteries?

I use an external charger, Xstar VC4. But I charged my RX200 yesterday using the RX200 internal charger which gave me 4.24v, 4.17v, 4.21v, I then popped the batteries into my Xstar which showed 1 fully charged, one took 15mah and the third took 130mah........so the RX200 internal balance charger is perhaps a little "iffy".

[nanotm]

I have 2 rx200's one with vtc4's and one with 25r's in, both get externally charged in a xtar vc4 and the one with 25r's seems to last longer than the one with vtc4's despite both being used identically at 30w with a subtank fitted with a 0.5ohm Clapton coil on the rba deck.... odd given both sets of cells were bought on the same day but i have noticed similar limitations with the pair of kopoor plus mods powered in the same way (one with 25r's one with vtc4's)

i expect the problem is the vtc4's are not top grade cells given there supposed to be better than 25r's in terms of capacity and so on, (given the vtc4's cost more i wont be buying them again)

my next purchase will be either hg2's or 30q's for the higher capacity to see if i can get mod to last more than 24 hours

4.24 V is too close for comfort IMO, normally the safety max is 4.25 V, I always favour below 4.2 V.   Love the DNA as I got a feature included that only charges to 4.1 V per cell, that can double the life of your batteries.  The last time Torchy answered one if my questions was about why he didn't like an Xtar XP2 as it charged a bit below 4.2 V which I thought is a good selling point, but IIRC he wanted his chargers to charge to the max, it's on the UKV XP2 thread.

Cheers for that VB, I would not normaly use the RX200 internal charger as I use the external VC4 which I think charges up to 4.2v.
Next time I use the VC4, I will check what the reading of the RX200 shows when the batteries are replaced.

[jtc]

Yeah the only multiple battery mod I would charge through USB is a DNA200.
My mate is going for an RX200 now he's been vaping a year on a single battery.
I gave him a lecture about battery safety today and got him to buy a D4 and some 30Q's as well.
Ive heard too many stories about the RX200 not balancing properly

[decoy]

how do you check the voltages again

[jtc]

Not with the RX as it tells lies
