Battery safety in all devices including phones should be what they are focused on and not attempting to ban vaping. Anti-vaping Efforts are not just with the deeming regulations but at the state and local levels of government as well. They should be encouraging vaping as an alternative to smoking and not attempting to ban the availability of e-juice flavors other than tobacco flavors as has been proposed in many areas. We all know the many different motivations of the various groups banding together to either protect the waning cigarette market, replace lost tax revenue or fight for the right to tell others what to do and call it a quality of life issue. Make no mistake that they will use any excuse to achieve their goals.
Manufacturers and the community have to band together not to give them the talking points to use in their battle because each one gives them more ammunition. We can play games on any number of devices and I for one can live without the feature to avoid anything being pointed out about it.
I admit I went over the top on Joyetech. I did so on purpose because for the last 2 years I have been trying to get them to redesign the Evic VTC:
- using the existing Evic VTC control panel, case, 510 & battery sled except with 2mm bullet atty sockets at the base of the sled and continue to sell it as a stand alone mod.
- Design a 10ml+ Egrip Style tank module that would attach in place of the existing battery cover picking up its power from the sockets thereby creating a convertible mod w/ a replaceable 18650 and a 22mm atty base RBA w/ interchangeable decks that could be disassembled for cleaning away from the electronics. I proposed that chimneys could be removed and replaced & I proposed that Egrip modules could be licensed out allowing any atty manufacturer to incorporate their RBA/chimney into the system and build their own tank module. The result would have allowed different capacities and vape styles to be accommodated into one system only one of which might have been the Cubis style.
- the concept could have been carried further by adding 2 more sockets allowing one to add a second parallel battery module to the Evic for extended battery life in its existing configuration.
- carried even further a squonk module could have been set up to satisfy the squonker segment.
- a vtr style low tank sbs module could also be adapted.
All these things together could have made a great all purpose modular system that many users would feel compelled to collect many if not all the pieces for or others could buy only the ones they wished. I felt this would generate broad based appeal and benefit not just Egrip user desiring an accurate functioning TC Egrip, but the entire community.
Their redesign of the Egrip which resulted in the VT was a mod that does not work well at all due to restricted airflow and fragile o rings. This new design is exciting in that it brings accurate TC upgrade ability, wire support TCRs and cubis is a design that wont leak and offers different airflows, but it is not a high capacity design by any means and offers an RBA that is very limited and designed to take a proprietary coil. Non replaceable battery kills long term use. This is the 5th redesign of egrip since it was introduced and we still can't get Joyetech to understand they need an 18650. It is frustrating because Joyetech easily has resources and product base to design a proper Egrip using techniques and parts already offered in other product lines they produce. There is a large segment of users who desire more though.
I did not mean to say that the ladies purse was the bottom of the market and Sorry if you took offense. I was trying to say a lower tier expectation of longevity and performance segment and a separate segment that does not want their device leaking into their purse. I was also trying to smack them around enough to get them to understand that this model can also be improved upon for a segment demanding customization of coils, battery life and capacity.
