VT200 Serial Numbers

[The Chosen One]

First post, had my VT200 for about a week now and it's great, advised by the seller that I have the v2 version with the SS plated pin. Wondering what the changes are and at what serial numbers plus any future planned changes. Cheers.

ive got two vt200's that have the updated ss 510. The serial number for one of em is 86XX. The SS 510 connector is the only difference between the two current versions.

Are the 510 "gold plated" on the new version? I'm sure it's not gold just a shiny gold finish over the dull brass look.

dont know for sure but, its most likely a gold plating over the new ss 510. they wouldnt gold plate the brass 510. people would be pissed if they were told they were getting a new ss 510 only to find out they just covered the brass up lol. IMO im not a huge fan of this ss 510. i think the spring could be stiffer and also the center pin is an odd design with some sort of shiny plating (gold?). cant complain tho, got two new silver ones for the price of one.

Yeah you can't beat 2 for 1. Lol The material of the 510 isn't that big of a deal for me either but I did hear rumors that the new ones would have a true 1300mah in it. I did notice the strange look of the pin. Mine almost looks like a clear cover. I'll put it under my digital microscope and snap some pics of it to get a good look. So the two you have, are they both the new version? If not any chance you could snap a pic of the 510s side by side?

Here are 3 shots of the 510. It looks like a rubber seal of some type.
Maybe to keep juice from going in the case?

I have a VT200 i bought from a local vape shop, so im not sure if its version 2. My serial is 87XX and it looks like gold plating not brass.

I got the same exact plastic-like coating on my 510. Brass thread version from Eciggity my serial is 0763. Is not everyone's like this??? I posted the question on ECF and got one guy saying his 510 is coated too.

Think this may be a good topic of debate Hoping that someone can list at what serial numbers the versions changed

@jj6404 0763 serial number? is that the brass or ss 510? sounds like a low enough number for it to be the v1.

I mentioned my serial is  87xx and i purchased at a local vape shop, so i dont know if its v2. Here are a couple pics

Looks like the V2, But not certain.

[Spector NS5 RD]

def v2, cause mine is 86XX and is SS 510

Gold coating over stainless steel is the worst for the mod resistance. I prefer my brass connector #1818, no issues 

Are the threads also goldplated?
