Joyetech Evic VT 60 Watt

[Shawn Hoefer]

Hey, folks. Please excuse any blatant ignorance in this question, but does it make sense that the VT would work in Celsius but not in Fahrenheit? That seems to be what's happening here. Temp control kicks in immediately in Fahrenheit, no matter what temp I set, but I've been happily vaping away for about 24 hrs now at 310C, using the stock tank and a .20 ni coil head, and the VT has performed flawlessly - absolutely fantastic vape. Then, finally, I got curious enough to Google 310C - cuz I'm 'Merkin and I don't speak Celsius - and holy cow, that's 590F! That can't be right, can it? Seems like that would be way too hot to be pleasant, but it's not at all, and I'm doing MTL hits with the airflow closed off about three-quarters of the way. So now I'm thinking maybe something is kinda janky in Celsius, too, which would make sense, since Celsius and Fahrenheit are not separate 'settings,' per se (are they?).

I bought this off the classies and didn't get the user manual, and this is my first experience with TC, so I'm reluctant to blame the mod for anything at this point. I read a lot of posts and watched some tutorials before diving in. I locked in my base resistance and all that, but stability isn't really an issue. In practical terms, there really isn't an issue because even if the VT isn't functioning correctly, it's certainly functioning well ... as long as I keep it in Celsius, anyway. I'm getting a warm, billowy, flavorful vape that I'm digging on in a serious way. However, I don't want to be sitting here all dumb and happy doing something stupid that might result in an awkward conversation with my insurance carrier. Anybody have any thoughts?

Are you attempting to vape in F at 590?

I've got mine set at 480 F with a .22 Ni200 coil in a CLR head in the eGo ONE Mega. No problems...

If the temp setting is working on the VT, I've been vaping at 590F since yesterday - I've had it set at 310C, which is 590F.

 

[Thayamax]

Maybe it's not too hot because you have it set so high it's not reaching the set temp and TC isn't kicking in. Try setting it on 590F and see how it compares.

 

[Lavaca5]

Sorry, I misunderstood your question. No, I can't vape at any temp in F; temp control kicks in as soon as I press the fire button, no matter where I set the temp.

That seems pretty strange. I guess you should just enjoy it in Celsius.

Yeah, it's hard to complain as long as I stay where I am - it's just weird.

Fack that is high IMO! 450 is nuclear to me.... Something doesn't seem right or.... I am just a wuss.... or better yet a toodle puffer.

Or maybe you don't own an evic vt? I find at 600 its not even a hot vape.

That is really weird. Wish I could help you.. Only thing I can suggest is that the res is locked too low... iow it may have been .2 but maybe it's really .21-.22 now and that why the temp is so far off.

I would try to recalibrate the base resistance.. When the tanks set for 10 min. Unscrew atty, unlock atty in menu, hit fire button a couple times to clear res, go to atomizer line, screw on tank, when the res pops up lock it in. Then fire it.. It may or may not go new coil... Hopefully the resistance is different than before, higher, and the temps will be closer to reality.

Hope it helps.

 

[Lavaca5]

It seems high to me, too, but I have nothing to compare it to. It's a nice, warm cape, but the juice doesn't taste burnt. Either 590F is just not as hot as I thought it would be or, as I've been thinking this morning, it's not really getting that hot - that's just the point at which the temp control will kick in.

*That would be 'nice, warm V-ape. With a 'v.' Stupid tiny keypad.

If the resistance was picked up lower than it is, the temps will be way off... 590 in reality is really hot.

Thanks - I'll try that tonight. It's just working so well right now, I'm afraid to mess with it. The res is actually locked at .21, but I still need to try and figure out why it only works in Celsius.

I've found that with a room temp. atty, I get the most accurate reading by having the resistance unlocked, mod in the correct mode, then turned off before screwing atty on..... Turn on once atty is in place, wait for resistance to read, and then lock res.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot. I know I didn't do it that way when I set it up.

Yeah it's one of those things its just a number if it works great leave it be for now.

The farenhiet thing is some type of mod issue, maybe a glitch or fault. But hey if celcius works its usable at least

Pretty much the same process I follow. I've found the eVic reads about .02 difference from the ohm tester I use to build. If it doesn't lock in at about where I expect, I'll retry - and sometimes fire it unlocked at a low (350F) temp a couple times, let it sit and try again. It can be a little finicky - but I think most of it is not having an absolute perfect build on the atty. Once it's locked it at the right (expected) resistance, it's a perfect vape.

 

[atroph]

Or maybe you don't own an evic vt? I find at 600 its not even a hot vape.

I do have a VT. I usually start at 350 for a new build and work up to 400-450 range. If 590F isn't hot then either you have copious amounts of airflow, or something is wrong. Maybe the resistance is locked on a lower value? IDK. JMHO.

What the heck, I put in a new .15 ohm nickel coil in my subtank mini and at 450 it was vaping fine. worked all the way up to 600 and it was still a great, more vopor, vape but now when I turn it back down to 450 I hardly get any vapor.
Edit, Putting it in nickel mode helped but the vapor doesn't change much, if at all, when I bump it up to 600

 

[coilburner]

What the hell. I just refilled my subtank mini with juice and now when I vape at any temp that provides good vapor Im getting a burnt hit. Still reading the same ohm and still the same temp same juice. I have only run one tank of juice through this coil.

 

[puddinman]

I have noticed that as my coil ages, I need to start bumping up the temps. I can vape a new coil satisfactorily at around 420F but after 5 or 6 tanks I need to start hitting the 500s because I get reduced vapor at lower temps. This happens more/faster with the Delta II coils than with the Kanger STM coils (both nickel). For this reason, I am seriously considering using the RBAs on each and see if that helps me get more life out of coils.
