Evic Hardware V2 out soon?

[hdconx]

I found this on an evic seller's website.

"As joyetech will finish changing the control head for eVic on 4th March. So waiting for the advanced eVic come in our stock."

Looks like Evic v2 is out soon. Curious to see what changes will be made to the control head.

Any guesses?

 

[ainako]

curious as to what they will change. Although I'm a little bummed as I have 2 evics :/

 

[FACE MEAT]

Hopefully any changes for the better will be available to the existing eVics via firmware download. I'd like to see a maximum voltage of 6.0 and an ability to hold the switch ring to scroll through menu options.

As far as hardware changes, I hope they'll modify switch ring (they call it the "direction key") so it doesn't rattle.

I was told by OvaleUSA that there isnt a new one coming out just that people are calling the eVic with new firmware and MVR a 2.0, so I wouldn't hold your breathe on it

Marketing Hype from a Vender hoping to drive business to their door.
No word on release of Firmware rev 2.0 yet
Last I checked 1.2 was still called Beta

I wouldn't trust anything until joyetech makes an announcement. They are very quick about it.

This ranks right up there with vendor who are sending genuine Vivi Novas out of the box so they can sell the two spares that come with the kit for an extra 5-6 bucks

I posted this on APV Discussion - "New eVic?" topic.
"Apparently Joyetech has made some structural improvements to the control head. There seems to be no changes to its functions. I get to know this from a friend who sent an email enquiry to joyetech."

While I am usually cautious with vendors' statements, I tend to believe the Joyetch's statement of "structural improvements to the control head". With this update my guess would be that they addressed the issue of control head coming apart easily upon accidental impact.

Although it may not be a deal breaker for some, including me, having the output voltage raised to 6 Volts with increased amp limits would be real nice. But I wouldn't hold my breath for it with this update.

Since the changes appear to be structural only with no changes to its functions, I believe that the firmware is to remain same as before.

i really hope that a new evic head would come with a cheap replacement deal for original evic users, since i just bought mine a few days ago. definetely feel a need for a raise in max volts on some of the less strong-tasting liquid, but i can barely stand going above 4.5 volts on some of the new menthol flavors i just got in the mail

 

[BlackPurple]

if that rumors is true, if joyetech really want to make an upgrade to control head, i just pray for 3 things:
1 - power limits to at least 6volts.
2 - accurate power setting.
3 - accurate ohm's reader.
thats it, thats all..

How about a spring loaded positive control contact so Kanger T3s ALL make contact without having to pull out the stem a little?

Hope they make a better threading and better hardware. Mine is broken after 1 month usage

just use a 510 ego adapter and this problem with the kanger will go away, plus you wont have to worry about removing the ring to get to the kanger base to unscrew it properly. i love my evic in black, using the joyetech 18650 mod tube for the ego-t drilled for battery venting. my firmware is 1.2 checking the voltage with a triplett 9040 it is only .1 off on the voltage so it shouldnt be very far off on the wattage settings.i use mt3's and the genesis clone for attys and wating on the pro tank to hit the mkt in the states.

 

[Hello World]

It will do over 18 watts, 10 amp limit, down to .6 ohms, 6 volts, mechanical bypass, total screen customization, über-top firebutton, comes with mini-fire extinguisher and Santa arrives 1 day early.

Hopefully they'll leave the physical details so our existing mods still fit.

One day, I'm just sayin' ...

 

[pcrdude]

But, I shouldn't need a thread adaptor IMHO. It should just work.

 

[SlaughterhouseV]

Any word on estimated us delivery for the alleged planned updated model?

Why assume that is even necessary when everything else(at least in my vast arsenal) including T2/T5, Stardust, Carto's, Tanks and RBA make contact without issue. Even 90% of my T3/MT3 work out of box.
It is a Kanger issue. Maybe kanger should have a look.

You don't tell a car manufacturer to change the wheel well design because your favorite tire/rim combo doesn't work.

Most of mine do as well, but as long as they are changing things, why not make it better.

I purchased one of those air control things and just screwed it into the eVic permanently as the threads on 2 eVics were pretty bad/sloppy from the get-go. Seems to work pretty good.
