TIME TO EVICT MY eVic!

[CraigTime]

Well I don't know if I'm the first to say it but the evic is leaving me wanting. BIG issue number one: there is no way it is REALLY firing my DCT cartos at the voltage it says it is. I have compared to my Provari and it's a big difference. It feels like it is choking at about 4 volts.

Amp limit right now is 2.2 amps. No way you're gonna push a dual coil.

Dual coils are the nemesis of most average amperage devices. They way a dc cardo shows up in the circuitry is the problem not the device at all. Just think of it as you are trying to fire two cardos at the same time, with the right set up it will work just fine but if you don't have the right eqpt it just wont work. I do wish the evic had a higher amp limit 3.5 would be great so it would please all groups in the vaping world. If you want to get the whole experience get a few boge 3.0 ohm single coil's and get them in a tank you will be blown out of your shoes I promise.

Damn, I really wish I would have known that before buying... Oh well. Guess I should have done my homework. I guess I can hope they will change it with a firmware update. Thanks wseter, the 3ohm single is doing a much better job.

I was concerned about the 5 volt limit. Now I'm glad I bought the VAMO instead of waiting for the Evic.

I have a feeling the amp and voltage limits are hardware restricted as opposed to firmware based.
It was adverstised as having a 15 watt limit but all the tests are showing as 11 watt max, I still want one of these though.

It looks like JoyeTech is going to have to do a revision of the eVic to iron out these issues. Personally, I don't vape at high voltage anymore so the voltage/amp limitations aren't a real deal breaker. Still, it would be nice to see some more mainstream reviews from people like PBusardo and Scott (igetcha69) before taking the plunge.

They'll all be reviewing them eventually. Honestly, its hard for any reviewer to keep up with new devices unless they're doing several reviews a day. And at that point it becomes a full time job with no pay.

I think that depending on the capability of it's "upgrade" for it's firmware, maybe they can fix it all in one or two updates to get it to work properly. It may not have been a wasted purchase.

I'm fairly certain that it's more involved than a simple firmware upgrade. The amperage and voltage limitations would have to be a hardware issue. It's probably a simple fix that will come in the next incarnation. There have been some minor complaints about the "enter" button as well. As it stands though, the eVic is probably one of the coolest PV's that has ever been introduced to the vaping community and you can be sure that any problems will be corrected. It amazes me how quickly the vaping technology is moving forward. When I first started, there were only a handful of "mods" out there and they were all strictly mechanical. In just the last year or so alone...Darwin, ProVari, The Buzz, The Joker, Saber Touch VV, Infinity, Diamante, Lavatube, Lambo, VMax, ZMax, Vamo...and many more are flooding the market. The eVic is the next evolutionary step and it won't stop there. I can only imagine what will be available this time next year! Sorry...I was on a roll!

You can find 2.0 and 2.5 ohm dual coil cartos. Those would work better on a device like that. I have a ProVari V1, so if I want dual coils, 2.5 ohms work the best. With a 5.0 volt top end, 2.0 should about the sweet spot.

 

[noderat]

It's hard to see the amp limitation as anything other than the hardware, they are using an 8081 microcontroller which only allows at most 0.5a for I/O pins and that means it's another piece of hardware that is being controlled by the processor to source the additional current.

 

[mad maori]

mine crapped out after half a day- total rubbish

 

[CraigTime]

You would think so but with the amp limit so low it doesn't work out that way. I tried 2ohm duals with the same results.

a vaping cell phone.....lol vape while you talk and text with the unlimited vape plan!

And I was thinking of getting one.

It's a piece of crap any way you look at it. I knew that before it came out just by checking the specs, now just about everyone confirms it. They made a gimmick and it's not even good at being a gimmick. Demand your money back because it doesn't do what it claims.

 

[Plumes.91]

I'm suprised to be hearing that JOYETECH came out with a bad product with such low specs. I would have guessed it was from Janty from these reviews. I hope the MiD from Janty isn't so bad? It probably will be. Thanks a lot Joyetech. I expected better out of you. wow.

 

[Vaptor]

Sorry mate but if I buy something, I expect it to work as advertized. I don't wait for fixes. It's like buying a new car that doesn't steer but they promise that with your next service they'll try to make that work as a "FREE" update to increase your driving pleasure.

 

[Plumes.91]

Its not a horrible product. They dropped the ball on a couple things. I hate how it says "no atomizer find" instead of "no atomizer found" and its things like that, that just really pee me off. But I like a lot of things about this product and I hope the updates patch up the problems that reviewers have been finding. The 5v cut off is weird, and so is the amperage limit.
