Intellicig EVO reliability problems

**paulhampson** · 02-09-2009, 11:58 AM

Is anyone else having problems with reliability of the EVO parts?
I have had mine a Month, now the batteries seem to last less than 2 hours each (admittedly I am a heavy user) and I have just had a second atomizer die on me.
Intellicig customer service is good but they seem to have been swamped by demand.

Is anyone else having similar issues?

This is interesting, because most of the posters seem to love their evos. How many times have you charged the batteries, being a heavy smoker etc? They still only live for less than 300 chargings I think. And the atomizer only works for 6000 (EVO .pdf manual) or 12000 (EVO site) drags in ideal case.

I haven't been in touch with Intellicig about it but the two 'new' batteries I have received have both been duds.....one of them went 'really' hot and died on my usb port but luckily the computer shut the power down to the port..... the other one 'sort' of works...but is much harder to draw on and cuts out far too easily ........luckily the original two batteries I had are still working reliably....albeit needing recharging every couple of hours but I do expect that when I am vaping most of the time.
From what people say on here Intellicig are more than happy to change dodgy parts...but I am not much of a one for complaining about things....I just like them to work ok and not have to complain.

6000 drags in a week?
I wasn't counting but I don't think that's the case. wouldn't that make me a 10 packets a day man.

Don't get me wrong I do love my EVO when its working but at present, even when I order a new one the day I get an atomizer, it won't last until I receive the next atomizer. I have had the evo approximately 1 month and have only had it working 2 weeks (I week for the first atomizer and 1 for the 2nd). Its a question of turnaround. I have 5 batteries so I don't mind 1.5 hours- 2 hours usage because unlike the DSE901 (with 1 battery life) the EVO battery recharges in 30 minutes.

I can't match the turnaround with the atomizers so its starting to annoy. (1 week on 1 week off)

I was alternating two atomizers for just over a month and they have both died so I guess that can only be considered as two weeks life for an atomizer for me. I am not as concerned about things breaking down as much as I am concerned over how much it's costing me...........I had really hoped it would be much cheaper than smoking ....not more expensive.
