Best Vape Brands | The 14 Top Vape Companies RIGHT NOW

By Drake Equation | April 18 2019

There are many, many vape brands in operation right now.

And the reason for this is simple: vaping will be a $61 BILLION a year business by 2025.

That’s a lot of money.

  • Click Here To Skip Straight To The Best Vape Brands…

But navigating your way through ALL these brands, especially if you’re new, can be extremely disorienting.

It’s like trying to find a jewel in a quarry full of rubble…

I remember when I first started. It was like learning a new language; the sheer volume of information I had to acquire was just insane.

  • Who were the top vape brands?
  • Who made the best hardware?
  • Who focussed most on quality control?
  • Am I insane for trying to understand all of this!?

It was a long journey. But I quickly learned one very important lesson:

Not ALL vape hardware brands are equal – some are good, some are bad.

The #1 Top Vaping Brands RIGHT NOW

As a new user, you want to avoid the bad ones (for obvious reasons).

This post will help you do this. It will show you the vape brands we use and trust the most.

And this will help you find the best gear for your needs. No more wasting money on inferior products from inferior brands. Two excellent things, as I’m sure you’ll agree.

I have broken this post up into two main sections: Cheap/Mid-Range Vape Brands and Premium/High-End Vape Brands.

This way, whatever you’re looking for, be it an RDA or a vape tank, or a vaporizer mod, you’re sure to know where to look first…

Best Cheap/Mid-Range Vape Brands
best vape brands

This is where the vast majority of the action is in the vape space.

95% of ALL vape gear comes from this section of the market, whether you’re talking about vape tanks, RDAs, mods, or RTAs.

  1. Wotofo (View Products) – Wotofo makes tanks, mods, RDAs, squonkers and everything else in between. The company has been one of the dominant forces in 2018/19 after realizing a slew of truly awesome products. Easily one of the best vape brands around right now.
  2. GeekVape (View Products) – GeekVape, like Wotofo, makes seriously good hardware at very competitive prices. Whether you’re after a mod, a tank, an RDTA, an RTA, or a squonk mod, GeekVape has whatever you’re looking for.
  3. Innokin (View Products) – Innokin might not be quite as prolific as GeekVape or Wotofo, but the gear it produces is excellent. The Innokin PROTON kit is one of our #1 vape kit recommendations for 2018, for instance, and the company also makes a lot of very good tanks.
  4. Vandy Vape (View Products) – Vandy Vape kind of pioneered the whole YouTuber-designed vape gear phenomenon. It produces tons of excellent hardware, notably an array of brilliant RDAs and RTAs. Bottomline: if you go with Vandy Vape you’re in good hands.
  5. VooPoo (View Products) – The VooPoo Drag Mod is one of the best vape mods ever created. The VooPoo Drag 2 ain’t to bad either. VooPoo’s GENE chip is also one of the best in the business too. If you like powerful mods, VooPoo is a name you need to remember.
  6. Vaporesso (View Products) – Vaporesso is a very innovative brand. Its OMNI Board 4 chipset is brilliant. So too are its mods and tanks. High-end performance and looks at low prices. What’s not to like?
  7. SMOANT (View Products) – SMOANT is a smaller brand than most mentioned here, but it does make very good, very reliable products. I am a huge fan of this brand, simply because they make great hardware that works great and is easy to use.
  8. Augvape (View Products) – Augvape makes A LOT of great gear. Most notably mods and RTAs. I adore the Augvape INTAKE RTA, a 100% leak-proof tank. And its mods are also great as well. Quality stuff, basically.

High-End/Premium Vape Brands

This is a smaller segment of the market, usually reserved for the most experienced of vapers – AKA the guys and gals that don’t mind spending three figures on their vape gear.

In the high-end, premium-end of the vape market, you get outstanding build quality, brilliant performance, and stunning hardware.

But it is pricey and therefore usually not for beginners – unless you got deep pockets!

Best Premium Brands

  • Lost Vape (View Products) – Lost Vape basically make the best DNA mods on the planet. They also make one of the best pod mods too (the Lost Vape Orion) which also happens to run on a DNA chip.
  • SX MINI (View Products) – The YiHi chip, like EVOLV’s DNA chip, is one of the market-leaders for accuracy and performance. If temperature control vaping’s your thang, an SX MINI mod is just what you need. Tom Hardy uses this brand as well. And he’s Bane!
  • 528 Customs (View Products) – The Goon RDA. The Goon LP. 528 Customs basically makes some of the biggest hittin’ RDAs on the planet. A classic brand with a solid reputation for brilliant build quality and performance.
  • ASVAPE (View Products) – ASVAPE makes mods that are super pretty. They’re 100% unique-looking and pack in tons of performance. They cost a fair whack, but when you see one you will understand why…
  • SVOE MESTO (View Products) – SVOE MESTO makes Kayfun tanks and these are basically the best MTL vape tanks on the planet. Bar none. They produce market-leading flavor and the cost A LOT. But if you’re serious about MTL vaping, they’re the only game in town.
  • dotmod (View Products) – dotmod makes mods and RDAs. It does it brilliantly too. The design, the build materials. Everything is 100% on point. If you like power, good looks, and performance, dotmod is your man.

And that’s it for our preferred vape brands right now.

It lists all the top-rated vape mods from the past 12 months.

Top Vape Companies – Why It’s Important To Know Who’s Who…

Like the consumer technology space, the vaping market can be a seriously daunting place if you’re new. There are tons of brands, an entire slew of jargon, and vape devices of all shapes and sizes…

If you’re new to vaping, how in the hell are you supposed to know what’s good and what isn’t?

Simple: you can’t – it takes time to learn the industry, get acquainted with the brands.

This is why I put together this guide in the first place. It’s designed as a one-stop shop for the best vape brands and companies producing hardware today. I’ve kept it small and focussed simply because, after years of vaping, these are the vape brands that I know and trust.

However, if you do have any additional questions, or you just want to talk about your options, do not hesitate to give me a shout via our the VapeBeat Facebook Page.

RDA Tanks With BIG Juice Wells – Less DRIP, More RIP!

By Drake Equation | April 24 2019

If you’re a hardcore RDA user, this one might not be for you.

Why? Simple: you probably already know all the best RDA tanks with big juice wells.

But if you’re new to the world of RDA vaping, this is definitely something you’ll want to check out.

They’re super-simple to live with, provide awesome flavor and clouds, and are WAY cheaper to run than standard sub-ohm tanks, as you make your own coils.

A lot of people get put off RDA tanks because they don’t like the idea of constantly dripping fresh E Juice inside the tank every 10 or so puffs.

But this is just plain WRONG; modern RDA tanks, with the right wicking technique, can easily go for 20-30 puffs before a re-drip is required.

You can also buy RDA tanks with BIG ASS juice wells now too.

What are the best options for RDA tanks with big juices wells right now?

Well, my top picks are listed in the table above but if you want more information on each RDA, you can find all the #1 options in more detail below…

Goon 1.5 RDA

GOON 1.5 RDA

CHECK PRICES!

The Goon 1.5 RDA is one of the most expensive rebuildable atomizers on this list, and with good reason too – it is freakin’ awesome. From the deck to the overall design and finish, everything is pristine.

It also has a sizeable juice well, so once you’ve installed your coils and you’re up and running, you can squeeze around 15-25 hits per drip. It also doubles a squonk RDA as well. Best of both worlds, basically.


Recoil Rebel RDA

Recoil Rebel RDA

CHECK PRICES!

This tank was designed by Grimm Green. It’s made to be a dripper, though you can buy a squonk pin for it (though one is NOT included). As a dripper, the Recoil Rebel RDA really shines. It’s super simple, and it just RIPS!

The flavor is huge and the deck is great for installing all kinds of builds. I love its design and its simplicity. I also like that it can hold a fair amount of juice between drips. Grimm done good with this one!


Bonza 1.5 RDA

BONZA 1.5 RDA

CHECK PRICES!

Like the Recoil Rebel, the Bonza 1.5 RDA is a big-hittin’ RDA that is designed for performance and flavor. Created by The Vaping Bogan, the Bonza RDA is happy on both mechs, regulated vape mods, and squonk mods.

It has a deck very similar to the original Goon, meaning it’s super-simple to work with and build on, and it is can hold a fair amount of E Juice too. Proper good stuff, basically.


Drop DEAD RDA

Drop Dead RDA

CHECK PRICES!

The DigiFlavor Drop and the Dead Rabbit RDA were two very popular RDAs. For this reason, HellVapes decided to merge the two RDA atomizers together into one, super RDA.

The Drop DEAD RDA takes all the best bits of the Dead Rabbit and the Drop RDA to create something utterly awesome. This atty is a solid, all-round performer that kicks out immense flavor and clouds. Epic stuff.


GeekVape Loop RDA

geekvape loop rda

CHECK PRICES!

I positively LOVE this RDA. The GeekVape Loop RDA is one of my most-used RDAs of all time. Why’s that? Simple: it’s super-easy to build and set up and it delivers outstanding flavor and cloud production.

Chuck in a beautiful deck and a big ass juice well and, well… you’re in dripper’s heaven!


Pulse 24 RDA

Pulse 24 RDA

CHECK PRICES!

The Pulse 24 is a great RDA for flavor. It also looks pretty badass too. I really enjoyed using this atomizer when I tested it out in 2017/18, and I have come back to it time and time again since then.

A simple deck combined with excellent airflow makes for some of the biggest flavor on the market right now. If you like flavor, easy builds, and wicked-good airflow, the Pulse 24 RDA comes highly recommended.


For an overview of the best RDAs on the market right now for squonking – inducing dual-coil and single coil RDAs – make sure you check out our Best RDA Guide: Squonks & Drippers.

It covers everything you need to know about the top-rated RDAs available right now.

We also have a dedicated feature on single coil RDAs, which is definitely worth a look if you’re rocking a single 18650 mod, as they require way less power.

Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3 Review: The Best 3-Cell Mod Around?

By Andrew Clark | September 10 2018

The Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3 mod is a three-cell mod. And that means VERY impressive battery performance. But how does this vape mod perform elsewhere? Drew took it for a test drive to find out!


[wp-review id=”3983″]

Drew here with another review for ya!

This time we’ll be diving into the Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3 and let me tell you, this tiny little guy packs a SERIOUS punch…

Let’s have a look!

Ever since I can remember, Wismec has always been the three-battery company.

Now I can’t quite recall if they made the first three-battery vape mod, but I know for sure the first box I got with three cells was an RX 2/3.

At the time, three batteries and 250 watts of power was amazing, something that was simply unfathomable!

Fast forward to the Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3, and it can be seen Wismec has come a long way.

This mod is freakin TINY.

When I first got it, I was shocked you could fit three batteries in there.

And not only does it hit 250W, it goes all the way up to 300W!

With that, let’s take a closer look at the visual and exterior aspects of the mod.

Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3 REVIEW: DESIGN

Wismec reuleaux RX GEN3

Check Out The Full Colour Range For The GEN3; Prices Start At Just $56!

I know I’ve already said it TWICE but this mod is mind-blowingly small.

I just can’t wrap my head around the form factor.

I have big meaty paws, so I’m not a big fan of little one battery mods. But at the same time a big, bulky mod is a pain to carry around.

This beast just slips right into a pocket and protrudes slightly more than your average two-battery mod.

In a jacket, forget about it! The device is crazy light, you’ll barely notice it’s in there compared to other 3×18650 cell mods around at the moment.

And for me, this is where Wismec has really scored big.

It has taken the concept of a three-cell mod, taken away the downsides (size), and produced a mod that embodies everything you could possibly want from a modern box mod.

Acquiring three cells, or six if you want to run it correctly with zero downtime, can be expensive.

But the upshot of this expense is that you get around 30% better battery performance, meaning less downtime and more vaping.

I’ve also yet to see a three-cell mod that looks as good as this one.

As for the body styling, it sticks to the traditional RX styling, only reducing the size.

And I dig it!

The features are basically the same, and the ability to upload a logo of your choice is a nice touch.

Wismec reuleaux RX GEN3

It’s actually really easy to do as well; simply get a black and white bitmap image or convert an image by re-saving it in bitmap form, invert the colors, and voila there’s your image on a black background.

Then you just download the Wismec software and use it the same way as any of the RX devices.

The only issue I have with the design of this mod is the screen and fire button; they are loosely assembled.

The screen has a slight clicking noise if you barely tap it, and the fire button rattles a bit if you shake the mod.

It was this way since it came out of the box, however, I do know a few people who have the same device without these issues.

Overall I’d say the mod is beautifully designed, and the size of the device is simply amazing given its three-cell capacity.

Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3 REVIEW: PERFORMANCE

Wismec reuleaux RX GEN3

The RX GEN3 is EASILY One of The Best Value Mods Around @ Just $56 with FREE SHIPPING

This box blows away most devices I’ve vaped on. Again, it really comes down to the size versus the performance.

Compare it to the RX300 Wismec released not more than a year ago and the size difference is game-changing.

One nice feature that the Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3 has which the previous three battery RX mods did not is individual battery meters.

The only problem is that the mod likes to discharge the batteries unevenly sometimes, and this is simply due to the fact that two of the batteries are in series, and that set is in parallel with the other battery, which makes for a weird load on the batteries.

The battery life at around 100 watts is pretty long, as I vape a solid amount day to day and it lasts me 2 days with Sony VTC6’s.

I’m used to changing batteries every day with a two-battery mod, so it’s really nice to be able to just grab my vape and head out in the morning on the second day.

Wismec Reuleaux RX GEN3 Specs and Features:

[letsreviewaffiliate url=”http://shrsl.com/10ijw” text=”GEN3 Starter Kit | Best Deal | FLAWLESS Vape ($76) ” size=”big” rel=”nofollow” target=”newwindow” accent=”#81d742″ border=”on”]

The RX Gen3 is kitted out for MASSIVE performance. You have plenty of power, TC vaping modes, and MASSES of battery life.

I also happen to think it is one of the best looking vape mods around right now. Especially in green.

This kit has really impressed me. I was initially pretty apprehensive, as I’ve had some issues with Wismec mods in the past.

But the GEN3 is utterly superb. And this is why it was an easy addition to our Best Vape Mod Guide.

To date, I’ve had zero issues with this mod – and I’ve been running it for a good month and a bit now.

It’s better looking and performs better than the SMOANT Cylon, which I was testing around the same time.

As you can see below, the GEN3 packs in a TON of cool features and specs.

  • Triple 18650 Battery Platform – Batteries Not Included
  • Wattage Output Range: 1-300W
  • Maximum Output Current: 50A

Wismec Guillotine RDA: A Cheap RDA With MASSIVE Juice Wells

By Drake Equation | November 27 2017

 

I have a problem with RDAs. I can’t stop buying them. I tell myself, it’s OK, it’s for the blog, but in reality, I am just a hoarder that loves trying new RDA tanks. My most recent purchase was the Wismec Guillotine RDA and it has taken me completely by surprise.

Why? Simple: I paid just 20 quid for it and, on account of that low sum of money, I expected it to be, well… rubbish. But it isn’t; far from it, actually. In fact, I would go as far as saying it is one of the best RDA options for those on a budget right now.

Wismec Guillotine RDA

It Ain’t The Best RDA Out There, However…

This kind of goes without saying. But for £20, it’s kind of hard not to love the Wismec Guillotine RDA. It looks decent, had a massive juice well, and vapes like an absolute champion. You can even run it in single coil mode too, if that’s your bag.

If you want to see what the BEST RDA Tanks are as of right now, check out my picks for 2017 – there’s a range of options at differing price points. But all of the tanks in this list are the best I have used to date.

There are better RDAs out there, I own several that are better than the Wismec Guillotine RDA, but that’s not the point here. No, the point is this: for £20 the Wismec Guillotine RDA offers up some pretty serious value for money.

Wismec Guillotine RDA Wismec Guillotine RDA

I mean, you could have two of these for the price of a normal, high-end RDA from the likes of Custom Vapes. And for my money, the performance of the Wismec Guillotine RDA has been great. I’ve been running it for a week now and it hasn’t missed a beat. Not once.

The design of the Wismec Guillotine RDA means that you have an exceptionally large juice well at your disposal once the tank is assembled. You can literally load this up with juice and be vaping for 30-40 puffs before you have to reapply.

For me, this is a big freakin’ deal, as it makes the Wismec Guillotine RDA feel more like an RDTA than an RDA. In fact, it’s not that far behind my 2ml GAIA RDTA in terms of how long it’ll go before a re-juice is required, and for a straight-up RDA, that is damn impressive in my book.

The Reuleaux RX Machina

Normally, the Wismec Guillotine RDA comes as part of the Wismec Reuleaux RX Machina mech mod kit. I haven’t really heard much about this tank by itself, which is why I was surprised when I happened across it in my local vape store.

Wismec Guillotine RDA

You Can Pick Up The Wismec Reuleaux RX Machina Mech Kit For Under $40

I’ve heard mixed things about the Machina, but I figured I’d give the RDA a whirl and see, for the low price, whether it was any good as a standalone RDA. Turns out my gamble paid off; the Wismec Guillotine RDA is a very competent RDA, especially if you value not having to drip every five minutes.

Wismec Guillotine RDA: What I Like

The velocity deck is great for building on; it can handle coils of all shapes and sizes. The cloud production and flavour is also very good, way better than I expected for an RDA with a £20 price point.

The design is smart and fairly low-profile. The massive juice well – I’m pretty sure it can hold more than 2ml of E Juice – and this is great as it means you can go for entire drives without having to re-apply E juice to the coils.

Wismec Guillotine RDA

Wismec also includes a couple of decent 4 ply Flat Ribbon Wire core coils inside the box and these have been performing brilliantly since the get-go. I also really like the way the Reuleaux RX Machina mech mod looks, especially in honeycomb, though I haven’t tested it out, so I cannot make much of a judgement on this aspect just yet.

Wismec Guillotine RDA: Worth A Buy?

Definitely. It’s cheap as chips and vapes like a champ. If you’re in the market for a cheap-ass RDA that performs excellently and has truly MASSIVE juice wells, the Wismec Guillotine RDA should definitely be on your radar.

I am certainly not regretting my purchase!

Wismec Reuleaux RX200S Box Mod Review: The PERFECT Box Mod. Period

By Nick Jennings | July 18 2017

Can the Wismec Reuleaux RX200S carry on the AWESOME legacy of the original Reuleaux RX200? Nick endeavours to find out…

You probably already know ALL about the Wismec Reuleaux RX200 because it was one of the most popular mods of 2015/16. And if you know about the Reuleaux RX200, chances are you’re aware of its successor, the Reuleaux RX200S.

Wismec has had a phenomenal 12 months; the company’s profile has risen dramatically and it is now one of the most trusted and visible brands in the vapesphere.

I’ve always been a HUGE fan of Wismec; they make great tanks and excellent mods and, most importantly, they price everything uber competitively. Case in point: the Reuleaux RX200, the Reuleaux RX75 and now the Reuleaux RX200S, which retails for under $60.

This is how you make inroads into the hearts and minds of the buying public; you offer amazing value for money and brilliant products. Do this and, like Wismec, you will win a lot of fans and make plenty of friends along the way.

This is what makes Wismec such a popular brand with vapers all over the world. They make excellent, engaging hardware that not only looks and performs brilliantly but, importantly, is priced very aggressively.

Anyone can afford this mod. And even if you’re on a budget, you could save up for it in a matter of weeks. Once you have it you don’t need to worry about mods for a very long time.

Wismec is constantly updating the firmware and improving the functionality of the Reuleaux RX200S, adding in more power, more features and better accuracy.

I love Wismec. But most of all I love their attitude and the way the make, support and retail their products. No one else in the space is making mods at this price point with so many cool features.14

So… how does the Reuleaux RX200S stack up? It is every bit as good as its predecessor? Is it capable of carrying the Reuleaux RX200 series legacy forwards into 2016/17?

Let’s find out shall we?

Reuleaux RX200S Review: What’s In The Box?

Like most excellent mods these days, the Reuleaux RX200S supports removable batteries (3x 18650). Sadly, these batteries are not included in the box, so you’ll have to source your own if you don’t already own some.

Check out our Guide To The Best Vape Batteries for more information on the brands to go for and the brands to avoid.

Overall, you don’t get much in the box — just the basics.

Reuleaux RX200S Box Contents Include:

  • 1 x Reuleaux RX200S (no cells)
  • 1 x USB Cable (for upgrading firmware only)
  • 1 x User Manual
  • 1 x Warning Card

When we open the box up we are presented with the Reuleaux RX200S. Underneath the RX200S is where the USB cable, manual and warning card are found.

Reuleaux RX200S Review: Design

The Reuleaux RX200S looks almost identical to the Reuleaux RX200m save for the Reuleaux RX200S’ new and bloody enormous 0.96in display!

The display here is a key, new update. It’s an OLED panel that works brilliantly in both direct sunlight and lowlight conditions. The size of it also means everything is legible, even at a distance.

The aesthetic effect of this new, larger display is very impressive too. It elevates the look of the mod; it is now more eye-catching than before, for instance, and the increased size means you run more information on it.

On the back of the mod you’ll fine the Reuleaux RX200S’ battery sled, though this sled appears to be the one Wismec used on the more expensive Reuleaux DNA200 — so that’s a bonus!

wismec-reuleaux-rx200s

The firing key, embossed with the Jay-Bo signature, is also the same as the one of the DNA200 version as well. All the buttons retain their tactility and are lovely and clicky to the touch.

What’s immediately clear is that Wismec have upped the ante somewhat with respect to build materials. That, of they’re just repurposing un-used parts from its DNA 200 model. Either way, the Reuleaux RX200S looks and feels a lot more premium as a result.

wismec-reuleaux-rx200s

The battery cover holds strong but it does come away easily enough when you need to remove it. On the bottom of the Reuleaux RX200S we have our battery venting holes and some wording “Reuleaux RX200S Designed by JayBo, Manufactured by Wismec”.

On the sides of the Reuleaux RX200S towards the top we have 3 holes for battery venting. One thing I did notice when using my Samsung 25R5 cells is that the battery cover didn’t sit 100% flush to the chassis.

wismec-reuleaux-rx200s

This was odd, so I tired my LG HE4 cells and everything was flush. The problem? I think Samsung’s cells use slightly thicker coating and this throws off the Reuleaux RX200S somewhat. Either way, hardly a deal breaker — everything still functions as it should.

The 0.96 inch OLED is very nice with crisp and clear numbers and letters. My eye sight isn’t the greatest so this screen really is a shining point for me. Inside the options menu, you can change the battery meter between two different types of reading — an actual battery meter and a percentage meter.

wismec-reuleaux-rx200s

You can also change the amps to a puff counter or puff timer. Small changes, yes, but very welcome additions to the Reuleaux experience.

After I updated the firmware to version v4.12 I noticed a couple of nifty new features. The first is the ability to crack the Reuleaux RX200S up to 250W and the second lets you create a custom logo for the display, which makes customizing your mod to your exact style really easy.

nick

If you invest in this mod, you’ll no doubt want to keep in it good knick. Mods, like phones, tend to take a battering in our pockets and when we’re out and about. This is why cases for mods were invented.

Also known as wraps, these covers protect the chassis on your mod. They’re also dirt cheap from eBay as well, where you’ll find literally hundreds of different designs.

Reuleaux RX200S Review: Performance and Battery

Let’s start off with the performance of the Reuleaux RX200S shall. Operation of the Reuleaux RX200S is the same as with the original RX200 but much more akin to the Reuleaux RX75 and Joyetech eVic devices.

If you’re unfamiliar with operating a Reuleaux series device make sure you check out our Reuleaux RX200 User Guide: Everything You Need To Know feature — it has everything you need to know re: settings and features.

With this review I chose to use my Aspire Cleito with a .2ohm coil and my Avocado 24 with dual twisted 24g 7wrap coming out to .19ohms.

I started with the Cleito and right away the RX200S fired the coil with zero delay — the vape was almost instant. At 62.5W, everything tasted great and the clouds were growing. Post 70W things started to warm up, but nothing to write home about.

Next came the Avocado 24, which I started at 100W right off the bat. After 10 puffs the RX200S started to heat up, but again nothing too serious. At 160W (the my max for the Avocado 24), I started a chain vape session and the RX200S started to get hot but, again, this is perfectly normal at this high wattages.

Pound for pound, the Reuleaux RX200S handled everything I threw at it. Most will be vaping with this mod at around 50-60W, so my pushing it south of 100W demonstrates that this mod can handle the higher-powered stuff when called upon.

What wattage you rock on the mod will of course depend on the type of tank and coil you are using.

Now we will discuss the battery performance of the Reuleaux RX200S.

With a fresh set of cells for each tank tested I wanted to drain the cells to the point that they would not deliver what I was asking. The Cleito at 62.5W allowed me a solid 2 days of moderate to heavy vaping, while the Avocado 24 running at 100W gave me a good day and a half of moderate to heavy vaping.

Reuleaux RX200S Review: Verdict?

The original Wismec Reuleaux RX200 was an exceptional device in almost every regard. It looked stunning, performed brilliant, was packed with features and was more reliable than a German-made diesel car. But best of all was how much it cost — the damn thing was just so accessible.

Well, I’m pleased to report the Reuleaux RX200S takes everything that made the original Reuleaux RX200 a classic, adds in a few additional features and tweaks, and created something that is even better.

I loved the Wismec Reuleaux RX200. It lasted me over 12 months and is still going strong now. But the Reuleaux RX200S is a better mod in almost every conceivable way — it looks better, feels better, performs better and the display is MILES better.

Based on my overall experience with the Wismec Reuleaux RX200S I am giving it a 9.5/10, which is to say this is about as good as it gets when it comes to a mod.

And the best part? You can pick up the Wismec Reuleaux RX200S for just $48.95!

Wismec Predator 228W Specs & Features Detailed: BEAST MODE

By Drake Equation | April 13 2017

Wismec’s BACK with yet another stunning mod and this one’s called the Wismec Predator 228W

The Wismec Predator 228W is a new mod from one of the brightest and most innovative brands in the vaping universe – Wismec.

Taking some queues from the company’s well-known Reuleaux RX200S, the Wismec Predator 228W is a step in a rather different direction.

Wismec Predator 228W

Co-developed with Sinous, the Wismec Predator 228W is all about performance. The brand new buck boost feature ensures the mod fires hard every time, so no more misfires, no more waiting – just click it and, BOOM, you’re vaping.

Like its siblings, the Wismec Predator 228W features a beautiful OLED display that is large and detailed. And because it’s OLED, it’s easy to read in direct sunlight and it is kinder to your battery life.

The design is reminiscent of Wismec’s Reuleaux range of mods, just slimmer and more pocketable. The Wismec Predator 228W runs on two 18650 cells and should, providing you use decent batteries, deliver a solid couple of day’s worth of vaping – 1.5 at the bare minimum.

I love the way this mod looks and I also like the colour range it’s available in: red, gold, white, black and silver and champagne. Basically, whatever your preference, Wismec’s got you covered with this thing.

And then we come to the power – 228W.

That is a pretty impressive figure; 228W is a huge amount of power for a mod. I personally never go above 100W, but each to their own, right? Either way, Wismec has built this thing for performance users; guys that like to build and create nuclear bomb-sized clouds.

But like a good performance car, the Wismec Predator 228W is also perfectly happy cruising at more normal levels of performance. However, should you want to put the pedal to the metal, you KNOW you’ve got plenty of grunt under the bonnet.
