The body of the box mod is made of stainless steel with plastic inserts. Its dimensions are 50 mm in width, 40 in thickness at its widest point and 84 mm in height. Weight Wismec RX200 without batteries installed is 184 grams. The device is delivered in a cardboard box. We can see on it a schematic image of the device, its name, manufacturer’s logo, on the sides there is also a name. But the main information is located on the reverse side, namely: a description of the device, its configuration, a scratch code with a code to verify the originality of the device on the manufacturer’s website, as well as information about the selected color of the device, precautions and certificates.
Inside the velvet tray is the device itself. Also here is a card with which the manufacturer notifies us that it is necessary to use the same batteries, preferably with the same discharge and charge cycle. Inside is, among other things, instructions in various languages. The last thing in the package is a micro-USB cable for charging the device.
View
The Wismec RX200 box mod looks quite compact, despite the fact that it is designed for three 18650 batteries. It has a very convenient diamond shape and rounded edges, which makes it very pleasant to hold in your hand. Together with three installed batteries gives a pleasant weight. Above is the connector platform. Atomizers with a diameter of up to 25 mm are well suited here. Even when atomizers are mounted on 25 mm, there will be no overhang, and everything will look pretty organic. The 510 connector has steel threads as well as a spring-loaded pin.
BoxMode Controls
These include: FIRE button, plus or minus button. There is also a small screen and a micro-USB port. The buttons on this device are very well executed, they have a very nice move, and are also moderately clicked. No extra rattles are present.
Through the micro-USB port, you can update the firmware by downloading it on the official website. Also through it you can charge the batteries. This device has a separate charge controller for each battery, but the manufacturer on its official website recommends using external chargers for better preservation of the elements. However, many users note that it is quite convenient to charge it through micro-USB, as the internal controllers cope with this task with a bang. The only disadvantage of the built-in charging is the time it takes, since it is about 3-4 hours.
On the sides, the device looks the same. Here is a gas outlet for cooling the board. In the middle there is a small notch under the nails, so that you can conveniently remove the battery cover.
Below is a ventilation and gas outlet for the battery compartment, as well as for the board compartment. Below is an engraving with the name of the device and certificates.
If you remove the battery cover, you can see what is inside. The lid is made of stainless steel (very tight and does not bend in the hands). It joins the case thanks to eight magnets (4 on the cover and 4 on the main body of the box mod). In the compartment for 18650 batteries there are notes so that the user does not confuse how to install the batteries. There is also a ribbon for more convenient extraction. Negative contacts are spring-loaded for a more comfortable installation of batteries. The manufacturer of this device recommends using these elements with the same number of discharge and charge cycles, since the Wismec Reuleaux RX200 mod has one feature: if one battery differs from the others in voltage by more than 0.3 volts, then the device asks to put it on charge for solutions to this problem.
Installation
Rear batteries must be installed minus up, top batteries - plus up. At that time, the Wismec RX200 box mod’s screen will display a charge indicator, resistance with an accuracy of hundredths, voltage with an accuracy of hundredths, and information about the set power will be displayed in the mode of varivat.
To select another mode, you need to press the FIRE button three times. In temperature control mode, the battery charge indicator is displayed on nickel, the resistance is accurate to the nearest hundredth, power is now visible under it, the temperature is written in large numbers either in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Switching between these systems is carried out in a circle. In the upper right corner is information about the current mode.
The next one is the temperature control mode on titanium, in which the same information is displayed as with that on nickel, with the exception of the inscription in the upper right corner. Now this is TI.
The last mode is the temperature control mode on stainless steel.
Interaction with this box mod: functions
If you simultaneously hold down the FIRE button and the plus button in temperature control mode, you can either lock or unlock the resistance parameter. If the first action is performed, then a lock is located to the right of the resistance value. If you simultaneously hold down the minus and plus keys, you can lock the device. In this state of the device, we cannot change the parameters of the board, but the FIRE button continues to work. If you simultaneously hold down the last button and the minus button, then we can turn on the Stealth Mode, which is made to save power. Some users find this feature to be completely useless, because with three batteries, the autonomy of this device is at an unbelievable level.
When turning off the device
To turn off, you need to press the FIRE button five times. The first thing you can do with the device turned off is to check the firmware version. To do this, you need to press the FIRE button twenty times. Now the devices that come in stores come with firmware version 1.03. Also, if the plus key and the minus key are simultaneously pressed on the Wismec RX200 box mode, you can change the screen orientation.
Tests of this device
Users believe that the board works well both in temperature control mode and in normal varivatt mode. The device immediately starts to soar after pressing the FIRE button. As soon as this device appeared on the market, the first foreign surveyors spread rumors that the temperature control on this device worked out of the ordinary. Therefore, it is worth updating the firmware immediately to 1.07. At the time of purchase, the firmware version in Wismec RX200 is 1.03. For good performance, you must remember to fix the resistance at 380 with Stealth Mode turned off. To update the firmware, you need to download the program and press one button. Any user can handle this.
Conclusion: reviews and impressions
In general, the Wismec RX200 box mod makes a good and pleasant experience. It has established itself as a convenient device with a compact body that fits well in the hand, despite the fact that it fits three 18650 batteries in it. All these factors allow the device to have maximum autonomy. As users respond, with three charged batteries, you can smoke the box mod all day, and by the evening there is still half the charge indicator. The box mod proved to be very worthy: it warms up the winding evenly, without unnecessary jumps and responds to the button as quickly as possible, regardless of resistance and set power. The appearance of the device is elegant with the most advanced functionality, that is, it is equipped with all the currently relevant functions.
According to the owners of the box mods, they are very pleased with the ability to charge the batteries inside the device using the built-in charging with the widespread micro-USB connector (convenient location, the "passster" function is supported). They say that it is very rare for mods with several 18650 batteries that are connected in series. Many consider this a plus, given the high cost of charging, capable of charging three batteries at the same time. While the device is charging, the battery level indicator blinks, and it goes out only after the device ceases to need additional energy recharge. A full charge takes about 9 hours and depends on the capacity of the batteries used.
According to reviews, the charging operation is correct and controls the voltage on each battery separately. Charging is turned off when the voltage on one of the cans is 4.20 W, that is, the batteries are safe, you can safely use the device.
Notes
The mode is switched off when the voltage on any of the batteries decreases to the level of 3.1 W, the inscription "Battery Low" will be displayed on the display.
When the voltage of the batteries is unbalanced (the difference is greater than 0.3 V), when the USB cable is connected, the message "Imbalanced" will appear. There is also protection against excessively high voltage of the power source: if the voltage is above 5.8 V, the message "Check USB" will be displayed on the screen (check the cable).
Of course, for maximum productivity of box mods, it is better to use the same batteries in all respects and in condition.
