evil evic mini...

[SteveF]

my evic mini works great with Ni200 and a Subtank, recognises a new coil, the temp settings are good, decent performance.

However titanium is a different matter, the resistance doesn't come close even after leaving the rba in the fridge. It works fine with a dripper but not with a subtank 0.16 reads 0.25 even though my other mods read the same coils to within 0.02. It fires wildly almost full power or not at all and won't ask same/new coil.

Have I found the glitch in its firmware?

[phatfil]

have you upgraded the firmware? it will change it from 60w to 75w max power when updated.

ive not got any Ti wire so cant comment on how my didy box reacts.

when in NI or VW mode will it read a Ti coil correctly? if so it may be Ti mode bugs..

[SteveF]

yep upgraded the firmware and it must be a ti-mode bug as it reads the coils correctly in ni200 and power.
Damn I was just starting to like it.

[decoy]

I know this might sound daft but
Subtank have a floating 510 pin,so take the coil out and push the 510 pin in towards the atty then try it again
Sometimes it don't get a good contact on the coil specially if your mod has a sprung 510

I think this is why the sub box mod has a fixed 510

I have used it in Ti with the Ti coil heads that come with the ego one mega tank. It reads the resistance spot on and work perfectly with that set up.

thanks for the replies, don't know whats going on, like I said the subtanks work with Ni200 down to 0.06 but the evic just won't play ball with titanium, even the dripper I'm using right now is reading 0.25 when my other mods read 0.207/0.209.
convenience really as time is so much easier to use.

Does it really matter what the mod reads as the base resistance as long as it reads the subsequent rise in the resistance and thereby limits temperature?

I'm using the same set up as you yinyang,and it works great,and a cracking Vape.

sorry for the late reply the predictive text on my phone was being a pain.

yes it does matter.
titanium coil is 0.159 >0.168 dependant on room temperature, reads this on IPV D2 in Ni and Ti, Sigelei 150tc in Ni mode, reads 0.16 on ohm meter and reads 0.16 on Evic mini in Ni.
Once in ti mode the Evic reads 0.23 > 0.25 and will only lock at this, it asks if it is same or new coil, select new and it still reads 0.23 > 0.25.

When I fire the coil, a 0.16 ohm coil at a base setting of 0.25.....TC cuts in instantly because it essentially it registers a dry wick.

Then when I allow it to return to room temperature, remove the tank, remove the resistance lock, refit the tank and it asks if its the same or a new coil, I select new coil, base comes in at 0.23 again.

Now the  Evil evic moment.......it goes silly in ti mode, TC doesnt cut in and it throws a mech moment, no step down like a D2 in power mode . 
Set at  17w with the  temp at 190c it gave the dry hit of the century, the cotton  singed almost instantly. Turned down to 10w and 100c it still vaped like a big coiled dripper.

I'm genuinely pleased that others are getting Ti mode to work but for me its definitely not.

[phatfil]

just out of interest when in VT-Ti mode will it also misread kanthal and Ni coils with a similar error +0.1 ohm??

is it a UK purchase? if so i think you have enough evidence of a problem to request an exchange, if a far east purchase ? whoops, might be worth raising a ticket issue, you probably wont get the solution that uk consumer law protection provides for but you may get some credit back, and if its working fine in Ni and Vw mode its 2/3rds OK

Griff just posted this link to the latest V2.0 system for the evic mini
www.joyetech.com/mvr-software/?sid=155%3Fage-verified%3D51f9f65610?age-verified=51f9f65610

adding SS to the wire stable but it may fix your Ti probs too??

[SteveF]

ok, 2 infuriating hours later.........
it still wont read accurately in Ti-TC mode with a kanger subtank mini, 2 rbas, 3 coils, 3 wicks.
it reads and locks a subtank rba with a 0.08 ni200 coil and a 0.12 ni200 coil......in Ti-mode

Goblin mini chucks clouds at 14w with a single 8 turn 0.5mm x 2mm Ti coil @ 0.20 ohms......I'll settle for that!

yes its an eastern purchase, $35 with another in the post

updated to V2.0, 0.2 coil now reads 0.18 which is bloomin close to the SteamEngines wire wizards 0.181 for 7.5 turns
time to try the subtank again......

[phatfil]

good news.. looking at the page linked to by Griff it seems there have been more than one upgrades in advance of this V2.0, so perhaps you had updated with an earlier version and the chaps with no Ti issues had gotten a later upgrade??

happy Ti vaping

[SteveF]

Evil Evic update....

0.20 ti coil in Goblin mini, tc still working perfectly
0.16 ti coil in subtank (RBA 1) reads 0.23 and TC limits instantly but reads 0.167 and vapes on IPVD2
0.20 ti coil in subtank (RBA 2) reads 0.26 and TC limits instantly but reads 0.208 and vapes on IPVD2
0.20 ti coil in subtank (RBA 3) reads 0.25 and TC limits instantly but reads 0.219 and vapes on IPVD2

still continues to read Ni200 coils (in the same subtank RBAs) at the same resistance as my sigelei, IPV D2 and istick

only titanium coil to read with operational accuracy and vape is a 24g/32g 4.5 turn clapton, it passed the dry burn test at 210c and is a warm vape with tc set at 165c. So for whatever reason either the coil or the mod is far enough out to actually work.
