Today I ’ m reviewing the seriously cool Cyberpunk-style RX G Mod by Wismec , which boasts 100w max power and a slick red and gold colourway ( one of three colour options ).
My first impressions are that Wismec have certainly dared to be different with the RX G , using mirrored panels and buttons and the trigger-like fire button that ’ s shaped perfectly for either finger or thumb use .
The outer frame of the mod reminds me of an exoskeleton-type structure , featuring lots of different angles and shapes and a carbon fibre battery tube that ’ s visible from the outside .
The RX G is powered by a single 18650 battery that is not included in the package , so make sure you have one to hand if you ’ re looking to purchase this device .
I think that it would have been a good idea for Wismec to allow the use of 21700 batteries here as they would provide more battery life for the device .
However , limiting it to 18650 does make for a smaller overall design which is also a bonus .
The battery is fitted via an easy-to-use push-clip door on the base of the mod , which doesn ’ t rattle or resist when the battery is in .
There ’ s also a useful physical locking switch beneath the fire button that slides up to prevent it from making any contact with the switch and eliminating any chance of pocket firing .
The adjustment buttons ( up and down ) are almost hidden , residing on a mirrored panel on the right side of the mod , but once you find them , they are extremely responsive and easy to use .
And while it ’ s slightly gimmicky to have them so camouflaged , but it does lend to the overall design , so I understand why Wismec have chosen this design .
As with most mods , it ’ s five clicks on the firing button to turn the RX G on and off , three clicks to lock the adjustment buttons and holding both the up and down buttons simultaneously opens the menu . This menu gives you a number of modes and options including voltage , wattage , temperature control , controls for the lights on the device and a dry hit protection mode .
The 0.96-inch screen efficiently shows all of this information and the perfect brightness means you can easily see the display .
When you fire the vape a cool little animation of a cloud of vape flowing upwards towards you plays on the screen - nice little detail .
I tried a variety of tanks and RDAs on the RX G and it handled everything with ease , the power is delivered almost instantaneously and I came across zero issues at all .
The only thing I did notice is that having the built-in lights on does slightly affect the battery life – something to keep in mind if you don ’ t have a spare battery or charger to hand .
Overall , I had an excellent experience with the Wismec RX G ! It ’ s a real workhorse and I absolutely love the design … although it may not appeal to everyone .
PROS
Really cool design . Lock button is a nice feature
CONS
Would like to see support for 21700 batteries .
