eVic or SDV

[g3mma]

Hi guys,

I can't decide what to get, any arguments for or against either would really help!

Thank you

The SVD is great bit of kit, very big though in 18650 mode, if it was me then the eVic wins, i just ordered another one myself icon_shoppingm

I have to go with Super-Shiny on this one.....my SVD, sadly, has become redundant after one outing.............


*Where did you order your new one from Super-Shiny?

[Super-Shiny]

chrisjw Bargain Vapour, they confirmed to me by email that the head is version 2

Piccy of the eVic and Svd:



Another great thing about the eVic is the different bits out there for it:

How much does the evic normally go for? Just seen it on fasttech for £64.70 Or is there cheaper. Just wondering I have an SVD and a Vamo I like both but the SVD is huge in 18650 mode and is only an inch smaller than the vamo in 18650 mode when in 18350 mode

Have to be the evic for me for one reason only. Size. The evic is a diddy little thing.

I would imagine that for a female the Evic would feel elegant, unlike the SVD which although a superb device is a bit of a brute. When I first got my SVD my wife remarked wittily, "Be careful you don't fall off the end of that."

I think you would be very happy with an Evic.

I've fallen out with my Evic. If it's not 'no atomiser found'-ing at me, it is deciding my atties are at least 0.3 ohms higher resistance than they actually are, thereby occasionally burning them and the juice. I've updated firmware, cleaned everything many times. As a last ditch attempt to not launch it out the window, I have ordered a 510 adapter to see if that helps it connect better.

I've read that its centre pin is particularly recessed and/or that the washer o-ring thingy underneath it is rubbish. Replacing that looks scary and complicated on You Tube and I don't believe I should have to do anything to such an expensive bit of kit to get it to work in a very basic way, or have an engineering degree.

I realise not everyone has these issues, and when it works it's great, but it's massively frustrating for me. My advice: get an MVP!

That's my only worry Jen software update blah blah can't be doing with it I don't think, I have an MVP on the way I should be satisfied but can't help myself! Will wait and try them out first hopefully Roscopecotrain will let me try his soon

Same with anything electrical - the more wiring/features/electronics there is/are, the more there is to go wrong. It's a great mod when it works, but when it doesn't it's a bugger

And I have to disagree with Jaguar7777 - it's not elegant in the slightest. It's about twice the diameter of a Spinner and about twice the weight due to the battery. I gave a friend a go on it recently who had only ever used ego types and she really couldn't get over how heavy and bulky it was. I personally don't mind, since it's only for when I'm at home, but it's something to bear in mind. It probably is a lot more elegant than some other mods, though!

Of course i will g3mma. I have to say i have not had any of the problems Jen has and the updates are a lot easier than you think and so far each update has added something quite good to the evic.
