Ipv3li vs Rx200
2 x 18650 / 3 x 18650
No SS TC / SS TC
Can't upgrade firmware / can upgrade firmware

Unless you really prefer a smaller dual 18650 mod vs triple I think RX200 is the winner !

Has built in Micro USB charger

My RX200 and few other orders from China are collecting at POS as they seem to be too lazy to deliver. Just drop cards through the door without even trying. Never had this problem with PosLaju

Elaborate what? Just enter code at checkout and discount gets applied - easy !

Oh yeah I got mixed up - USB for upgrade only, not for charging. Wrong way around

I think I'm going to have to buy an 18650 torch - put those spare batteries to use

Huh?

There's loads of different 18650 torches available - FastTech has quite a big selection.

Not sure if I really need one though .. if not a single 18650 mod which supports TC would come in useful

On related talk - I'm liking the Anns Brew juices - currently vaping on Kiberry Yoghurt

Yeah I bought some of that too. I like the taste but seems to gunk up coils pretty quick, I think this is common on chocolate flavours

SS 316L for me in TC , tasting good.

Will need to switch flavour by tomorrow as running out of the Kiberry Yoghurt
Have some of their other flavours too which didn't get a chance to try yet

Regret ordering the RX200 from China on preorder at $40 .. Could have just waited and got it locally

Yeah I'll go pick it up later this week

Got more stuff arriving so going to wait a few days and collect everything in one shot.

Saves the uber cost !

Twice , both times showed as electronic cigarette parts as description - can't recall HS code though.

I did post it before in one of the previous threads, don't think I kept the paperwork anymore

I have some extra batteries if anyone needs.

Sony VTC5 + LG HE2

From testing capacity, they're legit. I'll be doing discharge test at higher Amps too if I have time to compare the fakes

For those who got the fake / rewrapped HE4 batteries be careful at higher amps. Even at just 3A constant discharge they run far hotter than the originals. Haven't had a chance to test at higher loads yet

Genuine ones? The fake HE4 (Yellow) I tested suffer quite badly from voltage drop under load - much worse than the original ones. Haven't had time to test on HG2 (Brown) yet.

I'll be testing both properly maybe today as I have free time - with charts and everything for once

This ...the fake re-wrapped HE4 and HG2 I have here are both have 4 holes at the top.

The voltage drop on the re-wrapped ones is much worse - going to test properly today

Probably why production has been halted? (according to Nkon iirc)

HE4 orig vs non orig @ 5A



Ugly chart, I haven't used Excel for charts in a long time !!

Well as long as performance is up to standard I wouldn't be too concerned about appearance. Although some customers might be a pit picky and think they're clones or similar.

Running 10A discharge tests on the HE4 now ... damn the clones suck bad due to voltage drop (difference @ 5A was already pretty significant). I'll post the chart once it's finished running.
