A Spotlight on the Wismec Reuleaux RX200S

New to our store is the Wismec Reuleaux RX200S designed in partnership with Jay Bo. This box mod builds off of the success of its predecessor, the RX200, by integrating a powerful 200W chipset that gives the user all sorts of power. Let’s take a look under the hood.

From a user-friendly standpoint, the Wismec Reuleaux box mod checks off all the boxes. Its oversized, 0.96” crystal-clear display has a switchable battery indicator so you can easily choose percentages or swap over to the temperature of coefficient (TCR) mode for more temperature control capabilities. There are also modes for nickel, titanium and stainless steel coil setups depending on your preference.

Looking at output, the RX200S houses three 18650 batteries with polarity protection that stops you from inserting the batteries incorrectly and potentially damaging your setup. When you pair that with the box mod’s strong temperature control (200-600 degrees) capabilities, you have more than enough power at your fingertips.

Some other features of the RX200S include:

  • Upgradeable firmware
  • Micro USB port
  • Built-in ventilation holes
  • Ergonomic, angled design
  • Spring-loaded positive connection
  • Magnetic battery door

If you’ve been looking for a sleek and reliable box mod to update your setup, the Wismec Reuleaux fits the bill. Pick up yours right here and let us know what you think about it in the comments below!

Why You Should Try Steeping Your Vape Juice

steeping vape juice

Let’s say you bought a bottle of a brand new flavor of e-juice you’ve been itching to try. You open it up, drip some into your setup, take a drag and…it doesn’t taste like you’d hoped. Before you decide the flavor isn’t for you, you should try steeping the vape juice to improve its flavor.

So why steep vape juice? By thoroughly mixing your e-juice, the various ingredients will be more evenly blended and taste better as a result. Flavor comes down to personal preference, but the longer you let your e-juice steep, the better it will taste. That means letting the bottle rest for a while before using it. So how tricky is it to steep e-juice? It’s fairly simple to do, and there are plenty of methods.

The simplest method is shaking the bottle vigorously to blend the separated ingredients back together. The downside to this method is it can take a while if you’re trying to achieve a really rich flavor. Some people who use this tactic have said they let the bottle sit for days if not weeks before use. If you’re short on time, another simple tactic is putting your e-juice in a plastic bag, placing the bag in a water-filled crock pot, and then turning the pot to the warm setting and checking it every couple of hours. A variation of this swaps out the crock pot for hot water running from the tap. You can also leave your vape juice inside your glove compartment on a hot day and give it a try a few hours later.

Whichever method of steeping you use comes down to your own preference and patience, but steeping vape juice helps discover new levels of flavor from the same bottle. What may seem like a weak strawberry-banana flavor today can be steeped and turn into a rich, complex flavor in a few days. Steeping definitely lets you get the most out of your e-juice and find something that fits your palate. What method for steeping vape juice do you prefer to use?

Best Vapes for the Biggest Clouds

Cloud chasing has become one of the most popular types of vaping these days, with plenty of enthusiasts looking for that next hot setup that will help them blow the biggest plumes possible. The selection of a lot of components comes down to personal preference and experience, but if you’re looking for vapes that produce the most vapor, here are a few models to keep in mind.

Sigelei 213W variable mod

It all starts with a variable mod

A good variable mod gives you tons of control when it comes to your setup’s output. The safety features included are also great for making sure your rig doesn’t overheat or short circuit. Our selection includes starter kits and high-wattage options for beginners and veterans looking for a powerful mod in a compact box. Pair it with a sub-ohm tank and you’re golden.

Pay attention to your coils

Anyone who likes to customize has opinions about which type of coils they prefer to use for a variety of reasons such as aftertaste and heating capabilities. If you’re going to create a setup with a variable mod, do not use nickel or titanium coils on your mod! Go with organic cotton coils for great taste, vapor production and protection of your setup if you’re changing voltage/wattage output on the fly.

Give an RDA a try

A rebuildable drip atomizer (RDA) will help you chase huge clouds, no problem. We recommend one such as 528 Custom’s GOON due to its bridge-style build deck that accommodates nearly any size of build and its deep juice well. If you’re on a budget, the UniCig Mutation X V5 is in stock and features traditional side airflow as well as redirect top airflow systems.
