OVALE eVic !!! is this the future of vaping???

[Theken]

Perhaps it is just me but I see this and think who cares? Just like buying a pair of shoes that will give you the temperature or a toaster oven that will sync with your PC to give you a toast/year consumption rate.. Who cares? Don't get me wrong, the more products the better. I would rather have more products built for durability and longevity than more useless options.

Why does it have to be either or? What if this device has both durability and longevity ... along with extended functionality. I think the ability to unscrew the electronics and screw it into another tube is pretty nice. I also like the fact that I can upgrade the firmware instantly and for FREE. I don't consider either of those features useless.

I'm thinking that if you can take the head off, and put it on a larger/smaller tube, it could use different sized batteries?

I've got the 18490 for my Provari and would generally like to keep my battery sizes the same if possible, though I see it comes with a 18650.

I would assume so. My guess is that they'll eventually sell "official" different sized tubes as well ...

 

[Thompson]

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Wouldn't be surprised if somebody started offering them on here or a vendor had some cut.

Would there be anything preventing the use of AW IMR that anybody knows of?

As long as it can actually fit ... nope.

ooxol provided a German vendor's link with heir own stainless steel cut.

Bloody expensive but a step in the right direction. $90 just for that conversion kit is steeeeep.

That's really interesting. I just imagined vaping where I could buy a topper from one place and a body from another for several different pvs - meaning I could choose the body designs from different styles. Wow - I would love that.

I could only understand every 30th word he said but by golly I like what he is holding in his hand!!! *looks longingly at the eVic*

I'm totally confused, who makes this? Same thing is on Joyetech website Joyetech New Innovation eVic(Vapor Intelligent Cigarette) Launching

JoyeTech makes them ... Ovale is one of the main "rebrand" vendors.

 

[Thompson]

I believe Ovale and Joyetech are pretty much interchangeable names. The Ovale Elips-C is no different from the eGo-C best I can tell.

Ah TC beat me to it

 

[nepatitan]

Ok thanks, was confused then started thinking ovale was the main us distributor for joyetech but then again joyetech has listed distributors listed Joyetech worldwide business partner

looks like my gf is getting this over another provari for the holidays

Interesting.

Anyone asking themselves "Why does it have a temp monitor?...why does/could it overheat to begin with?"...

I don't think I want to monitor my vaping that closely that I need a chart. I'd also like tech specs on amps and such. Software update is nice I guess. That's about the only reason I'd want to ever hook it to a computer. I like the battery monitor thing a lot. I suppose the use counter is interesting too...kinda like counting cigs (Heavy vape day, light day must be busy, etc...) Nice graphic display. Big with 18650's....but then again I'm not a fat-tube-mod fan (box mods or smaller e-cigs).

P.S.

I think the v1.2...v1.2.... reference is to SOFTWARE version.

 

[tc1]

I figured the whole temp display thing was more or less a "gimmicky" feature honestly ... doubt it's due to the battery actually having heating issues considering it has protection and ANY device with heating issues is destined to fail to begin with.

At the moment I think there are 2 assumptions that we have:

1) That it is VW. (A Twist and Vivi Nova will also produce 3.5 to 13 watts, but you cannot dial in the watts you want.)

2) Free firmware updates. (I see it has the ability to connect and update firmware, but not necessarily for free.)

I am sure there will be more info coming along about these.

If anyone finds solid statements about the VW or free firmware I would appreciate knowing where they find it.

I don't know about free firmware but the manual for it says you can adjust the watts from 2-15w, and shows where to do it in the menu. It also says the volts will then be adjusted by the pv.

1) The manual specifically states it is VW. It will even tell you the recommended wattage based on current resistance.

2) The download page for firmware is already online and accessible to all. If they were planning to charge for firmware I highly doubt they would slap the firmware unto a website where everyone can access it.
