Yes! Fantastic at home mod

well it will suit me at home and in the shop

I have the DNA version, but if you have large hand warmer type jacket pockets it's a great mod for down the pub as it is so much more stable standing on a table than anything else, plus they fit in a car cup holder very well for those long journeys.

that's one thing that annoys me, my car don't have cup holders ffs lol I've got a center console but things fly about in that lol

I got an rx when they first came out. Didn't keep it long. Too heavy, 3 batteries to charge together was a pain.
The 510 felt of poor quality. Unless you need the 200 watts I'd recommend going for a dual battery mod

I've got the DNA version, essentially the same device but obviously with the Evolve board.

It doesn't get half as much use out of the house as any of my mods, esentially its just down to bulk and my lipo SMY DNA200s match it for useful battery life and pocket portability.
I had considered buying an RX200 several times, particularly when the prices keep dropping temptingly to well under £30 but I can't justify having another table mod for around the house. I'm also not a fan of the Joyetech board and its budget TC so really unless you were to want a 60A 200w power mod?

Sure its got plenty of bangs for the bucks but if I was making recommendations... I'd say save up for a DNA200 if you want TC.

What specifically do you not like?

Essentially its the same chip/firmware as the Evic mini, the preloaded TCRs are not wholly accurate, its temp sensing/base resistance internal resistance  is substantially different to my other mods. I wouldn't even use my evic mini as an ohm meter for coils. A power mode unit yes, a TC unit nope. My istick 40W TC is more accurate.
My point with budget is that rather than actually sort out the chip/board and firmware and make it accurate they have dropped in the user set TCR program. Shouldn't be needed, gimmicky......wool over the eyes in my own opinion.
Its not as humungously fake as the sigelei 213 but once you get past the perception of implied VFM its just a cheap mod that doesn't work as expected in TC.

SMY mod matches battery life!
Which one SteveF
I find that very hard to believe

[faren]

Using mine right now. It's a very solid mod you won't be replacing the batteries on every five minutes. And for the price they go for these days you'd have a hard time finding something of similar quality for the same money. Absolute no-brainer if you ask me. I can understand why people think it's heavy but never seen that to be a problem myself. I do have deep pockets in my motorcycle jacket though.

Highly recommend.

I take 2 DNA200 versions out every day. Chain vaping at 75w one will last me around 9 hours.
I ain't seen any lipo mod that matches the watt hours and I've got an 1800mah lipo device.
They ain't that big to me and feel perfik in my shovel hands.
I like the weight as they don't fall over and smash my tanks.
For the price an RX goes for I reckon you'd be happy indeedy

Well the SS pre set works fine for me. If it did not the variable TCR capability would I think be a bonus at the price. It is easy to set different values. Still each to their own

SMY with 1600 (4800) lipo v Rolo c/w 25rs or vct5s
both running 0.3ohm fused clapton at 60w.
both used pretty much equally through the day.
I get down to around 28-30% which is just about the voltage main drop off. very little between them. if anything the rolo shows the first sign of lagging.
of course you can put 3k mah batteries in the rolo but don't you find that the extra 500mah from 30Qs and LGs isn't always that easy to extract. Never found that extra 20% performance in a single 18650 mod either.

My 1800mah lipo don't last as long as my rolo.
I'm using vtc5's and 30Q's and I do find them pretty much on par tbh

Thanks for the replies people, there's a good chance I may end up with one

[wildpolecat]

love mine use it as a real workhorse for dripping mainly or useing the tfv4s or griffin at higher watts battery power imo is great for the price it gets my vote
