My puff counter doesn't even transfer my data properly to my MVR and I could care less. I am sure I could fix it but haven't even tried. As for the high powered thing I haven't even found anything to use the 11 watts with. I can't get anything over 8.5 without burning the juice. So I am not sure what 15 watts would be for. I am fairly new though so maybe there is a whole different set up I don't know about.
But everybody still raves about the Provari so it must be doing something right OP. Don't have one myself might look into it one day.
I agree I don't know how all these people are always complaining about power. I have like 8 vv ecigs that go up to 6v and don't think I ever go above 4.5 (which is rare) without it totally burning everything! And I've been vaping for 10 months so I'm not a newb
I stay in the 7.5 to 8.5 watt range so the eVic serves me just fine. The provari is pretty awesome too, it's just about 210 dollars of awesome if it's your first apv.
As for evic hate, it's one of two things.
1. They initially advertised as 15 watts but switched to 11 after it turned out to be wrong. Add the recall to this.
I don't have an issue but I guess if you bought it early and wanted 11-15 watts you could. As for the recall, it's a good thing, it's a more consistent method than having dealers having to make the call ala the vamo. A lot of new devices have issues like the vamo's, not picking on it, battery connection and spring issues or the evic's bad button...I'd rather be communicated with than read about it on here and try to figure out what the hell I have.
2. It's about as much of a mass market APV as there is...some people are looking to hate anything like that, kind of a e-cig hipster thing.
