Reuleaux RX200 problems

So I picked up rx the other woth the Same issues.
Won't even switch on without the usb cable.
All wires were soldered correctly
After I took the rx apart
Found nothing wrong
Not even solder on the board if it was creating a Dead short connection with another resistor or wateva.

Next move was to contact
Mr Vape Cartel
He can help get ot sorted maybe.

I've got another plan in mind for the Paperweight 3 battery mod

Super confused, just to understand - the mod with batteries, does not turn on - but it does if you plug in a USB cable? What happens with other batteries?

so if the cable is not used this mod will not work even with the cable only shows 3.3v

after swtiching out 2 sets of married batteries the device did not show any life
 
Ok so no batteries but plugged in to pc = on and batteries but no plug = nothing?
 
3.3v is probably the voltage that the chip runs on. (Many chips for many different things run on 3.3)
My guess is that the controller board/chip is not getting power from the batteries.

I have check the volts coming from the tray
And all leads well into 7.4v to the board

3 batts should show at least 11.1volts?

Sounds to me that's there's a fault from the battery circuit to your board, which is what we told you in that other thread, probably why your batteries were cooking then. Rx200 cuts off at 9v input, if it only reads 7 well that's probably why it wont switch on.
 
No
This is another device.
A 2nd device which was given to me.

Which I have then taken to a Electronic expert to have a look at it.

You sure this wasn't perhaps causing the overheating issue previously. 7.4v out of your 3 batteries indicates an issue, and this would mean the mod wouldnt turn on I suppose... Have you tried other batteries?


*Didn't see @Feliks Karp reply above, thought the same.

You said that other one was also second hand, sorry you sometimes have terse way of posting that can be confusing. Please do reply here when you hear back from the electronic expert, I'm very interested as to what causes this problem that seems to be quite common.
 
Device 1 I bought.
Honestly it going great.
Really vapes well
Finally got the temp control working.
My fault

Device 2 is completely dead
Only usb power work.

If you compare both boards next to one another, is there any visible damage, like a burnt spot on the PCB etc?

Are they both RX200? not 200S or DNA200 right.

This is what I couldn't understand
Check both
Rx200 mods
Both board
No crisp or solder touching from component to component.

Was so weird

Sorry mate, I do not quite understand :( You are welcome to post two pictures side by side and i can try see what you are saying perhaps
 
This morning I popped 3 brand new batteries, fully charged, into my mod. Left for work, did not Vape on the way, got to work and grabbed my mod, it was hot and 25% of the battery life was drained. This is worrying me a lot.
Did you find any information on this?

I dropped my mod a few days ago, and now mine does the same thing, If i put batteries in the mod heats up very quickly, within 60 seconds it feels as hot as when i am pre-firing a new set of coils at 80W....

I've also taken my mod apart and checked the board, can't see anything wrong and there is no juice inside the device or on the board.

Seems like this is the case


After a rx is dropper it needs to be tossed.

If it is dropped with a cover, it can survive, and more than likely will.

That's your mistake for not having a cover with such a heavy device....

Please understand that it was not me who dropped this device, then above @Jebula999 stated that he did drop his mod.
nobody likes the fact that they dropped there mod.

#UPDATE on the Electronics expert
i have delivered the device to (kempton park area) awaiting the verdict.

I keep mine on a string to my belt, long enough to not hit the floor when dropped. Looking at taking this further, to a bungee cord type setup - hoping that the hype catches on, and that I can register my idea shortly...
 
Must almost be a hardcase cover for a mod then the bungee cord attached to the hardcase with the mod inside
