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 of the mod.
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 battery 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.
