So I signed up to look around for like-minded individuals who, as I do, love hacking their 3rd generation mods with more than a soldering iron. smok wasn't too pleased with me when I released a reburned EPROM for the VMax with puff counter, but I guess now that the eVic is available everywhere it's not that big of a deal for them anymore. I understand the liability issues in letting people essentially reprogram whatever power governor is in those little electronics, but for the eVic I am much more interested in dumping the data into a readable format and using it as part of a Quantified Self[1] routine.
So I am wondering - has anyone taken steps to decode both the firmware and/or the USB downloaded data? I can get basic info from the mod, such as number of puffs, current battery state, and similar, but even sniffing USB traffic for a day I am banging my head against the write side of things. The final goal is to link the eVic to my Android phone down the road and have that do the work for me, but for now even simple USB host things would be great to have access to.
[1] Quantified Self is a "movement", if you want to call it that way, of people who monitor everything about themselves. I originally started light to lose weight, which I have (130 lbs) but now I am addicted to data. So for today I know how long I slept, how much rem and wake cycles I had, how many calories I have eaten, my body temperature and pulse in ten minute intervals, steps, how much I wrote (I am a writer by trade), how much water I consumed, how often I picked up my phone, how often I checked email, heck if you want to know the weight difference between this morning and after my first run to the throne, I can get you that, too. Most people consider it silly, for me it's a hobby like racing cars or lifting weights, only it makes me somewhat better at both
