Hey guys been waiting to be approved and I'm finally able to post this! So I recently purchased a tuglyfe dna 200 after months of waiting on it... I had my mind made up that this was the mod for me, once I got it home I started running into issues almost immediately having problems with battery charging and the battery dying incredibly fast... I get that the battery life isn't the greatest but we're talking dead in 20 minutes with a tfv4 at 75 watts. I contacted my local vape shop who got me in touch with a flawless rep in my area. I worked with him in escribe to get all the settings correct however this did not remedy the problem. This is where I want to give flawless a huge shout out and I can't stress enough that I have never been more happy with any company... The flawless rep drove 140 miles to my house to pick up the device and has taken it with him for repairs and I should be expecting it back in the mail soon... However after the experience my vape shop has said she would order me any other Dna 200 mod as a replacement if I wanted something different after going through this process... Also worth mentioning the rep from flawless also hooked me up with a bottle of flawless game over juice for my troubles... The question is does anyone think I should take my shop up on the offer and swap it out for a different device? If so which one and why? I've thought about the vapor shark dna 200 because of the zip charging but I'm thinking i prefer the bigger 1200 mah 13.3 wh battery of the tuglyfe over the 900 mah in the vs even tho it has the zip charging... Also I know how rare the tuglyfe is given only 100 were made for the first run

depending on whether you get a good board, which im sure you will, reuleaux dna 200. if possible. battery life for days. love mine. been working flawlessly(no pun intended). 28 watt hours of fun with three LG HG2's.

I've looked at the reuleaux and at its specs and honestly I'm not a big fan of its shape or looks very much... I know I would be happier with it but can't get around the looks also not a big fan that they make a cheaper version with different chip set and the insane popularity of them in my area ... Not that it's a bad thing tho for a while we all used ipv and sigs then was the snow wolf etc also the weight was another reason I was somewhat against it and sadly the dna 200 isn't even available in black =[ it's to me like knowing I should buy the 4 door car that is great on gas and reliable but instead I stick with the sports car because I just like it more even tho it's not better for me on a daily basis haha

Hi, I just got my first DNA 200 for Christmas, and although it was already mentioned, I have to say it again. The Realeiax DNA 200 is just great! I too thought it would be to heavy and clunky and all but to my surprise it just feels incredible in my hand. When I first started looking for a DNA 200, I too fell in love with the tuglyfe. I just really loved the look of it. The splattered paint, the sharp edges. It just looked really spacey. But after seeing how rare they were, and realizing that I'd rather want to be able to change the batteries if I was out on the bike with the guys for the weekend when I needed to, I decided to get the Realeaux. I wasn't too happy with my color selection, but I thought seeing as I took it apart to fix the screen cable before even fireing it up, I might just take it completely apart and have it powder coated. I was thinking a white body and black panels might be nice. The question I have now is in high gloss or in matt!? But to get back to your problem, I would give the Flawless guy a chance. It seems they are very inclined to helping you out and seeing as how it is your "true love", I wouldn't settle for second best. At least not before you hear from him. I mean he did drive all the way to pick it up. What are you gonna do now? Call him and say, "forget it, I bought something else!"

Nah I'm thinking I'll get it back and put it through its paces if I like it after a few days of use if not I guess it's going back for the reuleaux haha I have a hex ohm suicide bunny edition and my trusty snow wolf still so if I'm going somewhere I need battery life and battery changing I'll just take my hex ohm and 6-8 batteries

Honestly, it's going to be subjective for everyone. I think there's a reason you bought the Tuglyfe to begin with and once it is fixed, I am sure it will be fine. Flawless has always made products that are reliable, so I would say stick with what you bought to begin with. I have the Hotcig, and although the battery was junk when I got it, once I replaced it with the Fullymax 900mah, it has worked "flawlessly" (no pun intended). I understand the rave behind the Releaux, hell, I'll probably break down and buy one one day, but, I also think that the lipo is the best battery for the DNA 200-the capabilities of a lipo far exceed that of any 18650 battery. Granted the battery life isn't the greatest, but honestly, I don't think it's that bad. If you are a Vape enthusiast like me, then you have other devices you can use other than your DNA 200. I love my DNA 200, but I have many other devices I enjoy using as well. I am never in a position where I can't Vape on something. I think you should try out the Tuglyfw a bit, since it was your first choice anyways. Maybe you won't like it, buy I'm pretty sure you will. Good luck with everything...and Vape on!

I have 5 lipo based dna 200s that I love . The battery life isnt the greatest if u vape at higher wattages. On my vs200 with 900 mah lipo i get a full work day easily at 60 watts 500f with crown tank. On my psyclone evo with 1400 mah lipo I get a full and more at the same settings. I bought the wismec after hearing about people getting 2 plus days on a single charge. Problem is that running sony vtc4s and lghe4s I didnt get any longer out of the wismec than I did with the 1400 mah lipo box I have. maybe an hr or 2 longer at the most. on top of that the wismec had the screen ribbon cable under the fire button. the 510 connector was to shallow and only one tank and rda i have would sit flush on it, plus i had to wait forever to charge 18650s . I wasnt impressed with the wismec and it had to go. Im happy with the lipo versions of the dna 200. I have a lipo charger and my batteries can be fully charges in 25 to 45 mins depending on the mah. Its all subjective so if u are happy with the tug box i would keep it.

I have a VaporShark DNA 200, a lost vape efusion dna200, a lavabox dna200, an OPUS DNA 200, A hcigar vt200, a hotcig dx200, a tuglyfe dna200, and a reuleaux dna200. I know ridiculous but I've been collecting them and my favorites are the Reuleaux and the Vaporshark DNA200's. My list being 1# is my favorite and so forth. Also listed is Vape Time before charge and what settings I use them at, based on gaping roughly 20mls of liquid a day. 1. Wismec Reuleaux DNA200 (64-72 watts at 0.42 ohm for 2 days(36 hours)/LG HG2 Brown 3000mAh 18650's) 2. Vaporshark DNA200 (44-56 watts at 0.38 ohm for 3/4 of a day (10-12 hours)) 3. Opus DNA200 (72-80 watts at 0.63 ohm/Just short of one full day(12-14 hours)) 4. Volcano LavaBox DNA200 (58-64 watts at 0.84 ohm for 3/4 of a day (10-12 hours)) 5. Hotcig DX DNA200 (82-94 watts at 0.26 ohm for almost 3/4 of a day (8 1/2 hours)) 6. HCigar VT200 DNA200 (110-120 watts at 0.14 ohm for just over a half of a day (7-8 hours)) 7. Flawless Tuglyfe DNA200 (136-150 watts at 0.11 ohm for a half of a day (6 hours)) Hope all this info is helpful to pick your next mod. If you don't like the size of the Wismec Reuleaux go with the Vaporshark. It has the most well done case readings and is well put together not to mention from 15%-20% to 100% in like 45 mins! At that rate battery life don't matter because it charges so damn quick! Any other questions I'm happy to help out.
