eVic 2 prototype

[rebar71]

Just came across this on reddit...

http://www.reddit.com/r/electronic_.../ladies_and_gentlemen_i_give_you_the_evic_ii/

I'm fairly sure this is legit as this guy posted this a few weeks back: http://www.reddit.com/r/electronic_...work_for_joyetech_ecigarette_company_i_would/

Quoted text:

Some features include:

Increased durability (along with weight)
Metal 360-degree direction wheel with tactile clicks
Larger LCD screen
Increased voltage/wattage outputs
Same thread size as eVic I

Note: As this is a prototype, all information is subject to change.

Also, sorry for the ....ty quality.

And will it be:

"1) Wattage you 'have to have at least a 15 watt limit, 20 would be better.
2) Higher amp limit on the switch
3) Construction, both the button and adjustment ring have to me quality metal, not just chrome plated plastic. This makes the device feel premium.
4) A sturdier transparent plastic head tube as the current one splits if banged or dropped.
5) You MUST keep the same head and body threads as we have our Kir Fanis/Siam mods head and body tubes that fit and we would like to keep them for the next model.
6) Open source the flashing software and allow the community to make changes to the UI/OS of the evic.

If you do this you would crush the Provari into dust."

Let's wait and see. If that comes one day, I will be able to use my girlfriend's evic and she'll use the new Evic S. That'd be greatttttt! I love her Evic

p/s: although the Evic is light and she loves it. Our Vamo is too heavy for her, even in 18350 mode. I love the light feeling of the Evic I too.

personally don't see a point for having such a high wattage.
but hey its preference.
agree with about everything else you mentioned though.
especially 3 and 5

Could do with a clearer screen or lighter tint, the dark black might look good but its a pain reading it, and the reverse white background in ver 1.4 is really not alot better. imo

 

[bineva17]

errolng: It's not my idea, i did quote from the site mentioned above. I see no point pushing that VW too. I'd never go more than 9W. I wish Evic 2 maintains the light weight, but will be as sturdy as my vamo is.

Yokocrono, the reddit OP, states downthread...

It won't be out for quite a while, so don't fret!

I want it...now. Alas, I shall patiently await this heavenly gift of vapey gadget goodness.

oops sorry my mistake.
yea i go up to 10 watts for certain juices but normally its around 8

 

[crxess]

Use a lot of Kanger products and vaping around 7w works perfect for my taste. For pure power I have my Vamo and a few Mods for low ohm dripping.

I am very content with my eVics - even though they are original run. 1.0 and 1.1 but upgraded.

I think 15W limit would be good just for the sale of it, larger screen seems a bit of an overkill, information overload, but it would be nice to be able to see time, date, ohm, volts, watts, and the battery capacity dial...

Would be even nicer is if they encased the thing in metal to make it more solid and instead of threading the tubing for the battery, a snap on action would be good...

An option for two 18650 battery would be cool too, imagine 5300 or 6000mAH capacity! Can take it to a long weekend camping trip with just one charge!!!

yeah maybe 15w will just help to promote it.
doubt anyone vapes at that high though.
wouldn't mind a larger screen too if they can do it without increasing the size of the evic.
don't know how it'll fit in anyones pocket with 2 18650s though haha

It would depend on how they did it. If they ran them in series, then yes it would definitely be a long mod. But if they ran them in parallel then it would be like holding onto a double barrel shotgun....

haha so its either u get a long ... mod or a fat ... one

2 18350s in series would do the trick won't it?

That said I don't mind getting higher wattages/voltages or not. I'd prefer they improve the threading of the atomizer screw. Using a harder metal there would help IMO. To me this is the weakest point of the (updated) evic head.

no it wouldn't.
might as well just use 1 18650 then.

15w-20w should be an essential feature in my opinion for the people that run RBAs like Ithaka or Kayfun etc.
You need these watts to run dual coils on these atomizers.
I have an Ithaka and can`t run dual coils on my evic.
With 11w the eVic currently has, it means that on dual coils, each coil would get 5.5w max and that`s not enough to run a setup like that.

Yep, duals.
To wrap duals for a VV/VW with a 1.2Ω limit that's two coils at 2.4Ω or 3Ω (if you want a cushion for floating readings). The mod reads it as 1.2Ω-1.5Ω but they still work like 2.4Ω-3Ω coils and need the volts to heat that amount of wire.
Everyone may not want that but it's feasible that some would.

The way it is now I couldn't run a 1.5Ω dual on my eVic because of the amp limit and I only wanted it at 10w-11w.

So you are saying a Mainstream device should be designed for a niche market? Nice Idea but why the added expense for tens of thousands that may never need it?
If eVic ever needed anything, Joyetech should have addressed 2 issues faster.
Head Decapitation and Weak Dealer support.

This industry as a whole has the worst imaginable warranty coverage on products I have ever seen.
Only Provari, and mainly to US residents, has a locked in warranty period of acceptable duration. If purchasing in Europe it may as well be an eVic.

 

[errolng]

health cabin is pretty good with their support.
quite a number of months back, i had a problem with my vamo after about a month.
they sent me a replacement without any charges.

problem is that they recently stopped selling joyetech products.
reason was that joyetech increased the prices to them.

Head Decapitation should definitely be addressed as well! I just broke mine 2 days ago..
But, I think eVic is far from being a mainstream device. It`s huge! No novice vaper would buy something like that. Most beginning vapers I know, go for cig-alikes like eRoll or Ego-C/twist batteries at most and get scared when they see my eVic.
Its price also reflects that. At $100 it is not targeted to the average buyer plus no one would buy such an expensive device in order to run $5 atomizers on it.
It`s targeted to the intermediate/advanced market, where users want a wider choice of attachments, longer battery life and more capacity by adding tanks etc. This market includes many devices that require at least 15W of power to run.
Similar format/feature/size devices and direct competitors are the likes of Vamo, Provari, Sigelei Zmax etc. Evic has more features than these devices but lacks in the power department.

I totally agree with you, durability and support should be addressed, but power is a major factor as well in order for this device to stand up to its direct competition and to be able to run the attachments other similar devices can.
