Evic Joyetech Enquries

[Kelvin Siau]

Hi all..

I am New here. Glad that i found this forum..

Own a Ego-T and Evic joyetech with easy Control Head

Just want to ask if i can use other brand battery with 18650 2600Mah battery or do i have to use samsung 18650 2600mah?

i heard some people saying that other brand battery will not power up evic. is it true?

any brand battery recommended? because samsung 18650 2600mah battery is not cheap.

had anyone tried the new evic easy head? it is the replacement of the original come with box control. is cheaper but the negative is there is only 2 type of mode. Constant and inconstant.

I am using a 6ml DCT tank on my evic and when i using it, there is not much smoke. is it that my easy head having problem?

Please advise or some opinion.

The Samsung 18650 2600mAh worked for me. I have not tried the easy head so no comments on that.

 

[Kelvin Siau]

how about other brand battery?? i know that the 1st battery that comes with the evic is samsung which i am now using it too...

Did KL start selling the evic easy head?

i went to johor KSL, they are still not selling..

Unprotected? When I got my Evic I purchased protected batteries and realized they didn't fit. Took off the protective stuff and it fit like a glove. I got more of the same Samsung batteries so I wouldn't have to fiddle with the battery capacity every time I changed.

With regards to the DCT, I am using one on my Evic and it puts out clouds of smoke. When comparing MBV 555 in a Protank vs. in a DCT on the Evic, DCT beats the Protank. Are you sure you have let the juice soak?

 

[Kelvin Siau]

The battery u bought is samsung battery or other brand?

Yup.. Before i fill up my tank, i put 25 drops into the atomizer then after that i fill up the tank.

So protank is not as good as DCT tank?

 

[Penguins_CC]

I wouldn't necessarily say that. They both have their differences. Some people like a more airy pull or cooler vape. The DCT seems to have less leakage issues and has a more intense taste from my limited time using it.

I think the Protank would be easier to clean and change flavors.

Any 18650 battery will work in the Evic, if you can make it fit. But that doesn't mean that you should.

The link in post #4 is a good one.

18650 means that the battery is 18mm round and 65mm long. IDK why they put the zero on the end.

With certain 18650 batteries, they must have protection. To protect the user from overcharging, and over-discharging (overusing before recharging) it.

Certain chemistry 18650 batteries have a circuit protection chip on the end to make them safe, or safer. And that will add a few mm to the battery which makes them longer than 65mm long.

There are 18650 batteries that uses chemistry that is considered 'safe' and do not use protection circuits. Batteries that use CGR, ICR, or NCR are considered safe chemistry. These are true 65mm batteries. These are the kind of batteries that should not overcharge in a normal charger and when being used in conjunction with a device such as the Evic, they will not over drain. The Evic will shut down before the battery goes dead.

The Evic will also tell you what your battery level is at. I charge the battery when it gets around 3.5 ish. The Evic should allow to go to 3.3 but anything below that is asking for problems. If the battery drains too low, it will shorten the life of the battery, and the battery may not be able to recharge. A fully charged 18650 should read 4.2

I prefer NCR or ICR Panasonic batteries.

Using unprotected batteries that are not safe chemistry is very dangerous. Tampering with a battery is dangerous. And DO NOT do what Penguins_CC did in post #6. Removing the protection cell is dangerous. Just buy an ICR or NCR battery that is linked in post #4

 

[Penguins_CC]

Agree with Sad Society. However, the protected batteries I accidentally ordered were the exact same as the unprotected battery that came with my Evic. This is the protected battery I purchased (and subsequently removed the protection):
Samsung ICR18650-26F 18650 3.7V 2600mAh

I made sure it was an ICR battery as well - should've clarified. Sad Society's comments are well spoken.

 

[Penguins_CC]

@ImThatGuy - Have you successfully used this battery? Not trying to be smart, I just don't know the answer. When I look at the listing in your link it shows 18.3mm diameter. The protected battery I purchased that did not fit my Evic was 18.2mm. The unprotected version of the same battery which does fit my Evic is listed as 17.9mm. Thanks!

OP - Should also clarify my observations with DCT are without use of easy head.

ive used pretty much ALL 18650 batteries in my evics and other mods. button tops, flat tops,ect.....

they will all work.

on top of that, most laptop batteries are built with either sony, panasonic or sanyo 18650's, and they will ALL work in your evic. i had an acer laptop battery that stopped keeping a decent charge, pulled it apart and it contained 9 protected sony 2600mah 18650's. charged them up and fund one single battery that wouldnt hold a charge, so i ended up with 8 decent batteries for my mods out of a junk laptop battery was going to toss out.

no matter what battery i use, i never let it drop below 35% charge before removing it and re-charging it. als, when they are done charging, regardless of the "overcharge protection" i remove them from the charger.

I might buy the Protank as i still trying flavours that suits me... so far i still like my Unicon Blood flavour which i brought back from Texas. But is not sold in msia.

Thank you for the information. Because i am afraid of my evic short circuit and i am now also using the easy head instead of the original control head with the screen. my control head is damage. the screen will show up when i plug in the charger but when i press the power buttons 5 times, it just don't power up. i open up inside and the 2 wires is not broken. i do not know what is the problem.

some issue with the easy head is that the charging point is abit loose. when plug in my charger, and when i just move the wire abit, it will not charge and the charging point just loose out a bit. i need to push it in again to charge.

Ohhh...!! okie. i have an old Acer laptop and the battery cannot hold charge too.. i might want to open up and take out the battery.
