Joyetech eVic Review MVR/Firmware 1.2beta

well there are some great cases for your mods, so people do anticipate the almost inevitable drop.

Build quality issues I've found with the evic: Its NOT a badly built device and its not going to break EASILY.
But, the threads are very small and the rocker wheel on the control head does (at 1st) feel a bit fragile.
After having used my eVic for 2 days now, I am much more confident when dealing with the rocker wheel.
I like it. It feels great. I find myself putting the wattage up and down just to play with the wheel honestly...
Uhhh, as far as the screen? Its a vulnerable to drops design. The screen + wheel are vulnerabilities for sure.

I definitely wouldn't want to drop it at all.
It'd be the last of my mods I'd want to drop with the wheel+screen the way they are.
But I really do like the look AND feel of it as it appeals to my senses. A really neat mod for the senses.
As far as vape quality? NO complaints just yet. Although I've only used low resistances on it so far.
Higher resisted coils are not going to work great with the eVic because it limits how much voltage you may use.
Go with low to medium resistances/ohms if your eVic is going to be your only mod, and you'll be really happy with it.
GrimmGreen just put out a video where he seems pretty angry that he can't go to his preferred voltage to ohms.

Would I recommend this to a new vapor looking for first mod? Yes, I think so. I think its a great mod. A+
Would I recommend this to a more seasoned vapor looking for a VW device? Yep. Like I said, very cool mod. B
Would I recommend this to someone looking to push the limits of vaping all together? No. D
Would I recommend this to a veteran that would be angry if it didn't hit above 11watts? Obviously not. F

Looks great. A real treat for the sense of touch/feel/sight/hearing. Love the feel + clicks of the button + wheel.
Vapes great! Love the vape. I don't have to touch the wattage too often, though I still do when my coils flood.

MVR program seems to run well, although many are having problems with the program not synching with the evic device itself. This problem is remmodied on windows machines by plugging the evic in, THEN right clicking the MVR program icon to RUN AS ADMIN. You MUST run the MVR software as administrator in order for windows to allow MVR to recognize & access your evic device.

Uhhh the device vapes great. Thats what I can say about it at this time. I've only had the device for 2 days at the time of writing this review. So, I haven't had enough time with it to really tell you how it differs vape-wise from other devices that I own. I don't own scopes. At this time, I see no difference in vape quality when compared to my other mods. I think its a great device that vapes great.

I think it looks good. I would prefer if it were a SHORTER device, but, I do like the battery life of the 18650 batteries that I am using with it. The battery that was provided in the kit is fantastic. It seems to have lasted longer than any 18650 bat I've owned before it. I am still using it today after having not charged it since the 1st few hours with my evic. I find that the ability to charge the battery from your laptop's USB port is going to be VERY convenient. No more switching batteries. Just plug in. I would definitely like to order a smaller 18500 or 18350 tube for it though.

Loving that it allows me to use this Kanger clearomizer. Its my 1st time with the kanger and I really liked it. I like to put just a little but of juice in at a time so I can switch easily enough. The evic's eGo threading allows me to use virtually any clearomizer or tank out there (that isn't genesis flat top)

That about wraps up my 1st impressions review of the Joyetech Evic. Thank you! :)

I have one and love it.
I agree it works best and has the largest range of volts/watts with 1.7-2.4 Ohm.
3.0 ohm or above...not for me.
A big downer for me :Try reading the screen in sunlight!!
I haven't seen anyone mention this but even shielding with my hand I cannot read it outside in daylight

Its been 7 mos or so since you wrote this blog- Hows the eVic? Still up and running? any repairs? Errors?
disasters?
curious.

Yes Ipster, my Evic is still running smoothly and getting quite a bit of use especially outside the house. I have to say I still wish it were smaller, I'd really like a 18500 or 18350 length tube for it. But it is still running. I have dropped it a half dozen times and it hasn't broken or cracked at all which surpassed my initial thoughts on the plastic windowed head. Its doing well.

Unfortunately it only goes to 5 volts or 11 watts which can be annoying if I quickly wrap a 2.5-3ohm coil, but for the most part, I don't mind the 5 volt cut off and I have even contemplated buying more 5 volt mods because I don't run into problems of having to go above 5v too often.

I haven't updated to the most recent software, I am still running the 2.1 beta I believe. Its a good edition as far as I'm concerned and I don't see the need in the features I read about the current software having. Its a good device all in all. I only wish it had a flat top option when I bought it and I do wish i had a shorter tube for it.
