Evic VT

[davetherayon]

I pulled the trigger on an Evic VT based on that DiscoDes. Must stop watching VTTV, it makes the moths in my wallet come to life!

Hope it has a sprung 510

Good old RM, VT arrived this morning forcing me out of bed with a honking hangover. First impressions.

It's ... weighty. Obviously due to the batteries. Mine is in black to match, well, every other mod I use. The condom is a nice touch, and went right on as every atty seems to leak a little with repeated use. The stock atomizer looks very nice on it, and is simple to fill.

The control system is different, but easy to get used to. 5 clicks on/off. 3 clicks, wiggle the wheel left (facing the mod) to switch mode/power/atty lock on-off/battery-puff count (redundant feature for me)-use time (see puff count). Right wheel to switch settings. Fire to exit.

Changed the atty to the supplied Ti, yes despite my continued reservations on titanium, to give it a try. This was interesting. The device sensed the new coil, but rated it at 0.23 ohms. I wasn't aware at the time that the Ti coil was ~0.4 ohms. Dab of juice into the coil, fire... immediate TC (at 450F) kicked in, no juice production, pushing 5W then TC right away. Atty removed, fired the mod sans atomizer a few times, refitted it... new coil message... 0.23 ohms. Something wasn't right.

A webcheck later and finding out the Ti resistance rating, the fix required was : bunging a Ni coil (the Subtank) onto the VT, in Ni mode and firing it, THEN refitting the Mega in Ti mode and in it came at 0.42 ohms.

So having run it since (a couple of hours ago) at 470F, half-open airflow, 40W, it's performing. Good production of vapour, and in mouth inhale mode with a mix of strawberry and unflavoured juice the taste is definitely there. The airflow is very good through the stock atomiser, turning the air control up and down dramatically changes the experience, low setting with mouth to lung works (for me) as well. I do prefer a slightly airy vape, not a warm one, and usually mouth inhale (stop laughing at the back there).

I haven't yet tried it with a Subtank, that'll be a separate experience side by side with a DNA40 mod. Ti safety (Ti02) notwithstanding, it's not a shabby mod at all. IMHO.

"Day 2 in the Evic-VT house." The battery was run down 50% from using it, and seeing Dave Dorn quoth 'It took 6 hours to charge to full' (from empty) it seemed prudent to plug in the wallwart and let it simmer. About 2 hours later the battery light is blinking like a good'n. Full charge. So off came the wallwart, and a full battery shows. Time for a toot; and blimey, the battery meter is now showing 80-85% charge, after one (1) drag. Shome mistake shurley?

Typical conservative response! Why change what works? What's wrong with the old way?

tut!

i will be keeping an eye on tc spesh the ss wire and no the tfd dont use ss but it was £45 uses 18650 batts and has a useful 50 watts and a 510 connector that is ruddy awesome
i dont like ni200 wire its a pain to work with simples
but having to put a ni 200 coil in before the ss coil to get it to work as well as the huge power at start of vape ill say it again 
i likes my fugly tfd

I wonder if replying to a post quoting yourself will cause the posting flag to go into an endless loop. Here goes...

Well, slap me and call me a gherkin. There's nowt wrong with the evic; found out last night that the blinky-blinky phase of charging is evicvt-speak for 'I'm nearly full'. Left charging a while longer (about 30 mins) the blinking stops and the display reverts to normal, showing temperature and so on.
