Always recommends "5.2 Watts"??

[M_DuBb716]

Hey guys, when you turn your eVic on, when it shows the "Recommended Power" at the start-up screens, does it always recommend 5.2 watts?? Mine has always shown 5.2 watts for the "Recommended Power" screen when I power it on, no matter what kind of device I have attached or what resistance (Ωs) the device is..

... And if all of yours' also always "recommends' 5.2watts of power, why would they even bother showing us this when we Power-Up our eVic? Seems like it would be better shown on the 1st page of the instruction manual, since the # is always the same no matter what resistance you're working with.

Not a big deal to me, just something I've been wondering.. Thanx in advance guys!!

Yea i get this too no matter what resistance...

I've notice the same behavior with mine as well. Maybe a future firmware update will either change or remove this.

Thanks guys! Appreciated

Yes all of the eVic's I've owned have done this too, even without any kind of tank on it as well. Surprisingly enough though I thoroughly enjoy most of my flavors around this setting, on 2.5 ohm inside protanks, so I usually do stick at 5.2w.

It is a TEXT Message - NOT a function.
Check the SAFE Vaping Chart - 5.2w is low end of safe at all Resistances.

Oh, and mine is almost always set at 7w

For me it's 2.5ohms @ 4W

I've been vaping the protank at 8w. Am I overpowering it or is it purely personal preference?

As long as you are not getting burnt taste and enjoying the flavor it is fine. Some systems can go much higher.

Think you meant to say @ 4volts.. Maybe around 6.6watts? That's actually where I usually keep my eVic around, 6.6watts (usually with a Protank, usually 2.5ohm).. Sometimes I even go lower like 5.8w, and sometimes up to 7, but I seem to get a burnt taste if I go much over 7w, usually

Yes, don't know why but 7w seems to be the magic number for Kanger.
I recoiled a T3-mini to 1.5ohms - Still 7w tops, but OMG it puts out much better.

I'm thinking the factory 3-3 gap coil isn't as efficient. Might try realigning one to see if there is a difference.

Just built my 1st microcoil for my Protank today and I finally got my PT to vape good above 7watts!! I was vaping at 8.5watts and even cranked it up to 9.5w without a burnt taste!! Only problem was, the resistance of the microcoil kept fluctuating on my eVic, a problem I've seen before. It was 2.4ohms at first, than it would go all over the place when I checked - 4.5 ohm, 5ohm, 2.8, 0.8!! And than when powering on my evIC, the screen froze on the "Rec Power" screen and I had to take the battery out and re-boot

 

[M_DuBb716]

Gonna build another (my 2nd) microcoil tonight.. Gonna try 30gauge instead of 32g kanthal this time, and gonna use cotton (q-tips) for wick instead of my 2mm Silica. Need more rebuilding practice!! Thanks again everyone

I did get someone from joytech service to confirm that this will be fixed in Version 2.0.

Anyone have info on 2.0?!?! Would love to know what new features are coming!!!

 

[Aschecte]

your all lucky.. mine probably is broken LOL !!! I only get the recommended 5.2w when I start it up and I have nothing attached ..... if I already have a clearo attached it just powers up tells me my atty's resistance and off to vaping I go.

 

[Sthur]

I checked mine with 2.0ohm in pro tanks power cycle and recommended 5.2. Then used my dual coil carto tank and power cycled and recommended 5.2. Must be sw bug. I run pro at 6w and dcc at 9.6w. Looking forward to 2.0 someday...

 

[Aschecte]

I lied on start up with a atomizer installed it does say recommended wattage 5.2w ..... I missed that so I retract my previous comment.

 

[tom_chang79]

I think you can change the recommendation number in the MVR...

I just never cared to, I ignore my the recommendation message...

I wish you can customize that message window, like "Hello Tom" instead of recommending a setting that I'm ignoring...

8 watts is my sweet spot on the eVic, with both Boge LR cartos and Protanks. A tenth or two higher gets me into the burned taste though.. This is with 50/50 juice, where it's good to allow a minute between vapes to allow the wick to rewet itself inside the coil.
