I own one myself and love it actually. It has a gorgeous clean display and is extremely easy to learn how to use. My only complaint about it is the ring that's used to navigate is a bit loose and wobbly but other than that I love it. Its a great choice for a VV/VW mod.
*TO EACH THEIR OWN* I personally think that the evic has some of the most pointless software/firmware I have ever seen for vaping. Puffcounters and whatnot serve almost no purpose in vaping unless you are a numbers freak. If you are concerned you are taking to much nicotine in to your body due to heavy vape habits, drop to a lower mg.
The evic supposidly has ok hardware with people reporting heads malfunctioning on different reviews, however I can not confirm this 100%
the mod is what, 100 or so dollars? You can get a much better mod, judging by reviews and reading into the joyetech EVIC. But that is just my 2 cents. I would do a considerable amount more research on VW/VV mods before giving in to the evic.
What mods do you have now? Maybe some of us can recommend some good mods for you to start with. OFC everyone here will recommend the provari if you are down to spend 200+ on a mod
well worth it from what I read(still haven't purchased one lol)

Are you an eVic owner? If not all your information is second hand without actual capability to verify.
Everyone has a story.
Everyone tells their own tale in their own way.
Translation to fact can be difficult.
Op, I have (2) Evic. Both are now 1 year old. Both still work as they did when new. Specs are correct and Test information is available with True measurements.
The eVic works well within its spec design and mine are in Daily use.
Yes the eVic has much to offer and not all is important to all users. That does not negate its design. eVic was purpose built for the avg vaper to deliver a decent vape on a nice platform.
eVic has much to offer within its price range. Many will recommend better, at Higher pricing or More powerful with less accuracy for less.
Now eVic is no Provari, but Provari is no REO and REO is nothing like having a DNA device.
Each has its own place with those that appreciate what it offers for their need.

Thanks for the reply. I do agree that there are a lot of "extras" in the software that I will most likely not use but for $80ish on ebay its hard to find a comparable, apparently well built device like this one. I like the design and the display and it will probably last me all day long and then some (about a 2 mil a day vapor).
I currently have an eGo-V V-3 and love it but I just want to try a slightly more serious mod without going too high in $$$$.
Does it still have restrictions on the amount of volts it will go depending on the ohm of the coil? I watched a Grimm Green review and he stated that V 1.2 wouldn't allow him to exceed a set level of voltage depending on the ohm .....
I wouldn't like that too much I don't think. My V3 goes to 6V or 15W which is plenty of punch.

I agree with crxess totally.
I have an Evic that I have had for 6 months and not had any problems at all. Other regulated devises I have are SID, SVD and VTR.
The Evic is a solid device and the firmware can be updated when Joyetech puts out a version. There are some of the features that I do not use such as puff counters, etc.
The one features that I find really useful is MVR VW which lets you edit the wattage output in time and watts produced. I have one setup that starts out at 11 watts for 2 seconds, then 9.5 watts for 1.5 seconds, then 8 watts for 2 seconds and then 7 watts for the remainder of the vape. What this gives me is high power(watts) to heat the cold coil fast, then steps down as the coil heats up to avoid overheating the coil and the juice I am using. You can save three of these setups, that you develop on your computer, on the Evic. You can do the same type setups for voltage.
The so called restrictions are simple Math. Anything will work up to 5v. That is the safety limit of the eVic. so Yes you can be forced to not reach Wattage you attempt, but you will be able to dial wattage up until the math says it has reached 5V.
Simply put, anything 1.5-2.8ohm seems to work great. My prefered range of 1.6 to 2.5ohms never lets me down.
Much like people swearing by 6v, then running 4ohm coils. They are not producing any more wattage(energy to coil) than a 3.7v Vaper.
As for performance - my eVics have run everything from Protanks and Carto tanks to the RSST and single coil Ithaka builds.
ATM I have a Vivi Tank on one @ 1.8 and a T3-mini @ 2.4ohms on the other.

The eVic awarded me the opportunity to quit smoking ... it is my daily home vape device and I would not change anything given the chance to start over. My eVic has been a champ and works flawless after 28,000+ puffs on the puffometer.
I enjoy it so much ... I bought a second used eVic on the classies as a backup unit (it has 4,800 puffs on it) ... I use them both daily.

Sounds perfect to me. I wrap my own coils with cotton wicks and make my own juice as well now. My coils hit between 2.2-2.4 and that seems to be my butter zone for vaping. I usually don't go any higher than 9 watts but 8 is more my constant wattage.
Time to set aside some coin and start cruising eBay
I also have to say that I have stayed away from the Provari because I don't like the menu setup. 7 clicks 10 clicks 5 clicks.....click click click lol.

In case you didn't know, evic has it's own forum here as well. It's under apv sub forums then the model specific section. Just thought you might want to check that out for more info!

Ive got to put my 2 cents in: I own eVIC and it is OK low power Mod with bunch of useless features. Nice watch, calendar and you could use it as a battery checker and Ohm meter. I will run Kanger tanks and Innokin tanks just fine. Try running more advanced RBA and youll discover that it just doesnt have enough power to run Kayfun, Aqua, Ithaka or any of the Jenesis tanks, and God forbid youll try dripping
It is just too weak. 11 Watts Max. It is called eWeak in my book. I hope you wont make the same mistake I did: Buying one. I guarantee, you will eventually end up buying more powerful one like Provari, ZMax or even VTR.
If I can ask a question? In the software under Vapor Set/Mode it show Manual or, Auto and you can type in the seconds. Does that mean, I could set it to 5 seconds and it will cut off? Also, under Configuration/General you can set the temp. I have it set to 125 degrees but, I'm not sure why?
Thanks
Thanks
yes you can set it to cut off at 5 seconds or whatever time you want ... also the temp can be set as a warning for overheating.
I mostly vape at 7 watts or under 4 volts ... therefore the eVic does what I need and have all my warning settings set to "never"
I love my evic. I love how some sum up the evic as "it has a lot of useless information in the menu." Really? That's your full opinion? I don't always check all the info but, I think it's cool that it's there. So what??
Awesome answer. Thank you.
Awesome answer. Thank you.
I have many mods now and bought the eVIC when I was brand new to vaping. I love the mod and all the "extras" and stuff may be pointless to some but to me they are fun things to know. I like knowing how many puffs taken in 8 months etc. Great mod, I would get one if you like techy things!
I love my eVics, I have 2. I've never fired the 2nd one, bought as a back so I never have to worry about not having an eVic if I break the first one.
I never view the puff counter as the eVic lets you customize the home screen. In place of the puff counter I placed ohms and volts. Not sure why the puff counter is so picked on, especially since it can be hidden or ignored. On my eVic the only way to see the puff counter is to go in to the menu and call it up. Same analogy could be made about a new car having AM radio as part of the total audio package, I just don't need AM, I only listen to XM so I'm not buying any car that has AM radio as part of the audio package.
As far as I know the eVic is the only APV that allows you to update the firmware. Each new version has been an improvement. If you watch pbasardos review on the early eVic firmware V1.0 he identifies several shortcomings. Each has been corrected by Joyetech. Proves they listen and want to improve their product. This was the deciding factor for me.
The eVic is my main mod these days. I carry it in a pouch around my neck, always ready for a vape.
The starter kit is $79.99 at The Digital Cig. Extra heads are $69.99 Tubes of different colors can be found for $11.99 to $14.99 Chrome, Black, & White.
I recommend adding a stand alone charger and a 2nd battery so you are not tethered by the usb cable while charging, although it's nice you can cape it it like a pass through while charging.

Still confused about a few menu things? There's more but for one, whenever you connect a device the display always says. "Recommended Power" 5.2w Fine, but the evic doesn't even go to 5.2 watts!!
OK, no one knows the answer to that question maybe I get get an answer to a different question? I just bought an evic replacement tube in like a frosted stainless steel. Of course my evic came with a shiny, not glossy, black finish. I've been looking at the white and flat black tubes. Has anyone had the white tube for any length of time? I fear the coating will not only get dirty but, is it susceptible to chipping? Of course white will chow dirty but, does it wipe completely clean, like new?
Nothing looks worse than a formerly white tube that is now dirty and can't be cleaned
Thanks!
My eVic goes to 11 watts, are you sure you are not confusing watts and volts? It will not go to 5 volts.
I normally vape the eVic between 6.3 and 9.5 watts depending on the juice and atty I am using at the time.
