Looking good as always, Phil! I contacted Akston-Hughes, and it's looking like they'll be coming to the ATL vape meet in February with a case of these things. Looking forward to trying them out!

When you do the full review let us know how it works with other cartomizer/atomizers por favor

Have you had any QC issues with yours? They really tore into it on VapeATron, talked about bad threads, failing circuitry, etc. One guy said his button just stayed one. Hopefully those are just kinks that have been worked out.

Here's mine:

I've only had it for a day, but no problems so far. The machining & threads are superior. The cartos were a surprise. They hold over 2ml & have great flavor & vapor. The button is easy to push & has a slight click. I've been running it on the highest setting, which is supposed to be 4.8-5v. The SVR is very light too. I expected more heft from SS. Overall, the first 24hrs have been quite enjoyable.

BTW...the Evo is sold overseas. The Akston SVR is the USA licensed version. I'm not sure if you could get the EVO shipped here...at least that's my understanding from the owner's posts on FB.

From the owner... not defending... just stating:

Let me see if I can't clear some of this up via some copying and pasting:

"Akston Hughes and Loongtotem are partners in the final design and production of the SVR (ODM - Original Design Manufacturing + OEM - branding). For trademark reasons, EVO's are not licensed for sale in North America, and Akston Hughes is the sole authorized North American agent for the SVR/EVO.

Short: Loongtotem and Akston Hughes are partners... Akston Hughes participated in the design and is the North American Authorized Agent for all the SVR / EVO products and accessories... There are no EVO's in North America (the name is already taken) "

Hope that helps!

It's the Chinese we're talking about, though. I'm sure if you can meet their MOQ they'll ship a whole case of Evos to the US regardless of any arrangement.

A serious problem with early reviews and Chinese made products. In the rush to be the early bird some times you get caught with an unfinished product. For all the flack they get on ECF the Chinese companies (for the most part) do constantly tinker with designs...saw it with the boge revolution, saw it with the power VV, will probably see it with this device. As a consumer your often better off waiting for the second run from these types of things.
