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!

Thats true jen compared to a spinner it is big but compare it to the svd and other electrical mods it is one of the smallest.

The update is dead easy, you just plug it into your p.c and click update, you will probably only have to do this once in a blue moon.

The one off configuration is dead easy too, you just tell the software what you wanna change to the eVic and click modify, it then sends the info to the eVic and job done.

As for the center pin that applies to most mods, some clearo's 510 pins are a tad too long and it pushes the pin down, easy fix the same way you would fix riva's/twists/spinners/vamo's etc etc.

At the end of the day go with what your heart tells you

I don't think comparing an Evic or SVD to a spinner is what the OP originally asked. The software is easy to use, updates in a few seconds, and writing from the software to the Evic is something a child could do, again in seconds.

I have two, and they cause no problems whatsoever. On any battery over tightening any Carto/Tank/Clearo can push down the centre pin. Even on a Spinner.

As to your original question, both devices are superb. Only the weight of the SVD might be an issue.

I use both, regularly, I have had no problems and I wouldn't part with either.

I think eVic is more girly thing, so I use SVD...

[zeldamum]

Just a little heads up with the SVD, the fire button on mine failed in less than 4 months, but just over the 3 month guarantee. No replaceable button available.

Sent it to Raid and its one thing he can't fix but i loved it when it was working, yes it is huge, but still loved it.

Well, fair point re OP, but in my personal experience (which, like a lot of folks', begins with Ego, Spinner or Twist types), it ain't in the least bit elegant in and of itself. It is indeed more elegant than a Vamo or similar, however. But then no mod that takes an 18650 is going to be elegant, really, they're big batteries. No, the firmware issue is not a big one, but the electronics one is IMO - mine doesn't detect ohms properly leading to burning (at least, that is what I think is happening, I don't have an engineering degree). If it was one atty, I'd say it was the atty's fault as ohms can vary, but it is consistently telling me that 1.8 ohm Evods are 2.2 ohms, 2.2 ohms are 3.1 ohms and so on. Unscrew it, re-screw it, and it comes up with a different arbitrary figure.

Any atty that won't work on my Evic works on everything else I own. I don't think I overtighten in general, otherwise it'd happen on everything else. So you could conclude that either I'm abusing my Evic for some reason, or it's especially sensitive to centre pins, or the o-ring support is indeed rubbish, or I have a duff one. I'm not in the habit of abusing £70(ish) items, especially when they're the most expensive bit of vaping kit I own. If you can do it without trying, doesn't that make it unfit for purpose?

That combined with the ohmage issue - I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone who likes simple, easy vaping. I just want to stick an Evod on it and vape, and it frequently (but not always) won't let me do it. I've become so frustrated with the thing, I often just revert back to my cheapo Spinners, which are not as good but are vastly more reliable. An Evic is not worth the risk or investment in my own personal experience, but like I say, when it works it's great. It produces improved vapour and TH over a Spinner, and if you want to get all techy, you can. Depends what you want to get out of it. For me, as soon as I find something I can afford that is better, it'll be consigned to occasional use.
