So a few weeks ago I posted that I'd just bought my first real set up- an evic easy head with the battery tube and the ECA. The ECA comes from joyetech with a 2.5 ohm atomizer head and it was like everything was perfect. Well obviously, the head eventually burnt out and I just had to order some replacements.
Following everything I've read, and a chart I found showing the recommended resistance for atomizers paired with the 3.3v constant output ADVERTISED with the Easy Head, I ordered 1.7 ohm replacement heads. I was totally pumped, thinking dude my battery life is going to be sweet running at a constant 3.3v and now according to what I've read, I'll get an even better vape. So they got here, I replaced the head and filled 'er up, and went to work and woowwwwww major burnt taste! Every once in a while, I could really tap on the atomizer and suck at it without pressing the button and then I'll get maybe 2 decent 3 or 4 second hits, then it goes right back to crap. Like the harshest, hottest, just most horrid feeling I've ever felt on the back of my throat.
So this got me thinking- I remembered a week or two ago reading another post where a guy complained that he was having some issues with his Easy Head. Said it worked, but when charging, the light would just go from red to dim red instead of green like joyetech advertised. Then he checked it and no matter which mode he was in; regulated 3.3 or unregulated, he was always getting unregulated according to battery output. So I checked mine today and sure enough, in both modes, it was putting out 4.0 volts on my new $20.00 pack of atomizers which are now, I would imagine unless it's something else causing it, basically worthless.
I also ordered a new Kanger EVOD and it came with a 1.7 ohm head... I'm getting a little better out of it, but using the same juice as before, the flavor still is nowhere close to as full tasting as before. Luckily I ordered a pack of 2.2 ohm heads for it (I had a feeling I'd better be on the safe side and order some of higher resistance just in case since I knew the 2.5's did at least work)
So just an alert to any guys looking to buy one of these- I think his post was a month or two ago, and I bought mine a couple of weeks ago and the problem's not fixed. Just be aware- these things are not as advertised.
