EVOlution. Is it worth upgrading to one?

[Valgar]

Ive had my Black Evo for about four days now, and I thought it is time to write a short review on it.

Bearing in mind im fairly new to vaping, only been doing it for about a month or so.

My first e-cig was an RN4081 'Super-Mini'. A baseline capable e-cig. Average vapour, on-off unreliable throat hit, very short cartridge lifespan. For the month I was using it, one question would repeat itself : Is it worth 'upgrading' to something like the Evo?. I had spent a fair bit of money on setting myself up with the RN4081, a bandoleer of batteries, multiple atomisers, a fair few carts, and a couple of dripping bottles. Could the vaping experience between my 4081, and the Evo be different enough to warrant jumping ship? The answer, for all those newbies in my position, is yes. Very much so.

Battery life of the Might Atom batts is around about the same as an RN4081, perhaps a little longer. The drag is similar too. The main differences are in the throat-hit and the vapour production.

The Evo consistently produces as much vapour as a fully dipped RN4081 with a fresh battery. This is preceded by a throat-hit in excess of a fully loaded RN4081. The vapour can feel slightly 'dry' when compared, but that is no big problem for me.

The slightly smaller width of the Evo considerably lends itself to that feeling of 'Im smoking a cigarette', rather than 'Im smoking something that is close to a cigarette, but not quite.' as with the RN4081. The lesser weight of the Evo also makes handling it, and the feeling of regular 'smoking', more believable to those vaping it.

So, from one newbie to another, I can heartily recommend making the jump. There will be many users out there who have purchased something akin to an RN4081, and then discovered ECF, and are sat there thinking 'Should I?...'. Personally, I say you should.

I haven't owned any cig other than the evo (so far...I'm probably going to be buying a pen-style in the next few days, though) but I can only agree with this. For me the evo has been incredibly consistent and has lived up to all of my expectations. I'm completely satisfied with my purchase and will happily recommend the EVO to anyone that's thinking about getting one.

In fact...I think I'm going to do a 45 day update, today.

I am afraid I am one of the few that hasn't had a great experience at all with the Evo.... Two months, 4 dead batteries and 6 dead atomizers and all the hassle that went with it wasn't very good at all.

I have also had a lot of hardware problems but agree that the EVO is a wonderful device to use when it's working. After a string or problems i sorted out my good from bad hardware and really like the properly working EVO. Customer service in the UK might be a much simpler matter making the whole thing worthwhile.

I've never heard of anyone having that kind of trouble with an Evo.

wow.

Sorry to hear about your luck, mate but as I'm sure you've gathered from reading the forums you may not be alone in having had SOME problems but that boat doesn't have many people in it. And to have 4 batteries and 6 atomizers go in 2 months...I'm completely stunned.

I'm on day 45 and haven't had so much as a bump in the road and I've abused mine...dropped it, stepped on it, done tons of reviews with it, taken it to clubs almost weekly...

My Evos are still going strong. No atomiser problems at all. I had a sensitive battery - John replaced it by return of post. I've not come across anything at this sort of price that does such a great job - and the battery life is outstanding!

lmao that little video is funny.....I think Intellicig uk would have been perfectly happy to have replaced parts if I had moaned about it but I am not one for complaining.... I just bought extra's in the hope I would get lucky because when it works the evo does work great. I just lost heart with it in the end though... and I am trying a mini pipe now.

[e-pipeman]

I have a mini pipe too - also great! You've made some good choices, Pete. I'd speak to John about your Evo probs - I'm sure he'll help you out. The pipe is great because it "smokes" like a pipe - I wouldn't have believed that that was possible!

[Terraphon]

That sucks, bro. We all know that there has to be a small percentage of consumers for every product that end up taking it in the back door.

Shame to hear it's one of our members.

If I were you I'd consider getting in touch with John and seeing if he's willing to do anything about it. I bet he'll take measures to sort it.

[surbitonPete]

From what I have read I believe John at Intellicig would have been more than happy to have sorted me out with some replacement parts ...so I won't knock Intellicig....I think I was just very unlucky rather than me doing anything wrong because I sure follow the advice on these forums on how to look after everything...especially when it seems to be a consensus of opinions. I sure don't want to put anyone off the Evo because there is hardly any one else that's had any real trouble with it.
