Maybe they are still stuck in that 50 lane tailback.

a bit like these wide bore drip tips with the normal thin hole at the bottom people will still buy them. Guilty^^^^......But then I have a drill and a vice to finish what was started.  |

The chances are USB3 works just fine with software and it was a problem at my end that was causing the software to crash.
I had read quite a few others had the crashing software problem so when I finally worked through a solution that got it running on my comp I posted what I had done.
It cant be a bad idea to try other ports if you have tried one and it keeps crashing.
The other steps were me eliminating other possible causes for it crashing and just keeping them in the mix when I moved to a USB2 port.

Blue is more usual for USB3, but you cant rely on it. My router has a USB(used for adding a drive) that has the blue tab, but it turned out to be USB1.1(very slow and no cheap NAS replacement, which I was hoping for).

Thanks for posting that hijack,i have tried to update it numerous times over the past few weeks,and had the same problem,so gave up.Im hopeless with technology,and don't laugh at this question, Which one is the USB2 port? I have 4 USB ports on my lap top.  You would need to look at the lappy manual to see which of the ports were USB 1.1...2 or 3 that is if the lappy has USB3. I would try the process using the different ports 1 at a time to see if it is this. Remember to place both the files contained in the ZIP onto your ROOT = c:/ and run the software from there. ALSO 'run as administrator'(right click on file and select off of the list 'run as administrator'. Then connect Evic and if it shows the version etc then you can carry on and update. This was all done on a windows 7 OS so as for win 10 I know more have had problems with win 10 and I cant help there. Let me know how you get on. Good luck. |

But you lose the battery bar? I think I'll keep my two as is You can get it back by selecting like before battery, puffs, time, and now Amps. Plus you will have the new changing resistance while it fires and it does go back to the locked resistance when finished. I know they are just little changes that as far as i can see dont change the performace of the Evic...But its nice to have them |

I have had the evic for a few weeks so I thought I would do the update that I had heard about. The Update software can be got from the Joytech site and includes the update that will be flashed on the device. It says to extract both files from the Zip file to the root of your drive. I placed both files on the root C:/ I had an issue when doing the upgrade, flash software kept crashing and it wouldn't read the device. This turned out to be me connecting via a USB3 port, for some reason it didnt like it, so after many attempts I started the software and plugged it into a USB2 port. it found the device and read the version etc straight away. The update was easy after this pressing update on the software and selecting the other file sitting on your root, it completed the update in seconds. Now updated to 1.10 and have a few more things to look at on the screen Edit: When doing a flash update it is advisable to 'run as administrator'....This may not apply to this device but every tablet or phone I have done needs the flash software to be run in this 'mode'.   To get to see the version of your VTC.... with device off, press fire button 20x....yes 20. device will switch on after 5 but dont stop keep going youll get there. New features include realtime amp draw from the battery and realtime fluctuation of resistance while in use. |

Order and forget. Order again and forget. Order duplicates in error and forget. Order stuff that has no relation to vaping, like spare car light bulbs, a silicone amplification horn to attach to the bottom of an iPhone, a stainless steel camping knife, a string of LED lights, some spare bottles (oops, back to vaping again), and so it goes on. All of a sudden, you have little yellow envelopes arriving every day, until all your little orders are completed. Talking of which, I have just paid for a Subtank Plus from a kind forum member, and need some spare heads . . .  When you cant find any vape gear there are always plenty of other things that make want to spend. A 10,000 mah battey pack with solar panel or a wrist watch made from wood.  Really, I just got one from gearbest. Cant wear metal without breaking out.  |

The little dinky ones are great dalealan . Its so hard to get small tips that aren't small bore. You will like them. Edit: they are a tight fit and I took the top oring off to help get them seated on atty. Can still lift atty and mod by the tip and it dont come out even with one ring. |

That Big Bore set sit really nice on the velocity. Other tank atty's not so well.  The one on the Golbin is nice and small but has a big bore and looks grand on a RTA. (link in reply#3) The vase shaped ones that I think dalealan was looking at the bore is smaller but on the goblin etc they are not too restrictive. |

What spacey says about knowing the individual flavors you are going to use. You cant visualize a combination of flavors If you are unsure of how they taste on their own. This also helps you work out which of the flavors needs to be in the foreground and which need to subtly be in the background of a mix. Trying what others have done can open the door to a combi that you would never have thought of. Then you are able to play around with that until it suits you. |

I have been using 3 bottles on rotation and notice nothing 'Iffy' after they have been in there a few months before I get to use.
The bottles as you know have the standard 'no leak' insert in the cap. You could I guess find a better washer...of the type used on 'Grolsh' bottle, but a size that would fit in the cap.
But over a few Months I havnt seen the need for a better seal.
Decanting can be fun....A 30ml syringe and a plastic long tube needle makes life easy unless you already use another mess-free method.
