I haven't bothered grabbing an evic, but if someone can give me a copy of the firmware I'll look at it, and have a few friends of mine that are programmers take a couple of looks with me. I'm not sure what the nvaporware thing is, didn't really read through it. Is it the firmware, or a disassembled version of it? Have you bothered looking at the files meta information (if any) and seeing what container was used, and whether joyetech is even the company that compiled it? A lot of companies LOVE to brand their products, and IDA would be a good way to do it.
