Helloooooo Suppliers :thumbs:

My Shopping List:
eVic Starter Kit with NCR18650B 3400 mAh Battery ..(News to you! .Keep Reading)
Spare joyetech Sanyo 18650B 3400 mAh Battery
xtar SP2 Battery Charger

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I’m looking for the new eVic Starter Kit with the Sanyo 18650B 3400 mAh Battery.
See it all here… ..Joyetech eVic Starter Kits, Vapor Intelligent Cigarette

…….. eVic in 3 colors.jpg…. eVic & 3400 Panasonic NCR18650B.jpg

I’m also looking to purchase an identical Battery as a Spare.

And I’d like to have an xtar SP2 Battery Charger.

Everything I’ve read in Charger Reviews talks about how important it is to Fully Follow the 18650 Spec for Charging, to prevent problems, and to extend Battery Life. The Xtar SP2 does that very well. And everything I’ve read in Manufacturer’s Battery Specs for 18650 Batteries says that they get the Longest Life from not being fully Charged or Discharged, and from being Charged at about 1/5 to 1/4 C. ..3400 x 1/5 = 680. ..The Xtar SP2 charges at 0.5, 1, and 2 Amps (2 Amps in case I ever purchase an IMR or INR). Plus, the Xtar SP2 does not Charge all the way up to 4.2V, cutting off at about 4.17V, which further extends Battery Life. So this is my preference.

Any Supplier that carries the eVic Started Kit with this 3400, a Spare 3400 Battery, and Charger will certainly get my attention, but considering the unlikelihood of that, everyone is invited to respond. And Please remember that I live in the USA, in case Shipping and Customs are a concern.

OK, that’s me and my Wish List. Whatcha got?

Just waiting for a local vendor to stock the 3400 mAh, chrome and B & W battery casings for my eVic.

Hello, Hello World,

My first impression of the concept of Where can I get a.... was that it might be a place that Vendors/Suppliers looked to fill people's Shopping Lists, but after looking around a while, it seems more like a people to people thing. So if you find a Vendor B4 I do, please let me know, and I'll do likewise.

Northern lights do touch down here sometimes but you'll miss them if you don't stay on top of it.
Really spectacular up in the Yukon. (Bring lots of bug-spray in the summer...lol)

No vendors I know who have received any of it yet. I think they are waiting just like we do. Seems at this point Joyetech is just throwing some teasers our way so the goodies go like hotcakes when they finally come in. Kinda want the chrome kit first ... to go with an AGA-T knock-off that's on it's way. I'll bookmark this thread.

Greetz back atcha,

Heaven Gifts said they may have the Colors after the Festival Break; Feb 7-Feb 17, stop shipping (China Spring Festival Holiday), so after the 17th.

Here's what I got from them...
.
Hi,
Thank you for your e-mail. Sorry to tell you that Joyetech has no eVic Kit with 3400mah battery. (I don't think this is true)
And also we will not replace the 2600mah bettery in the Kit with 3400mah. You know, it costs so much labour force.
.
Also sorry that the eVic Kits with new finishes will be available after our holiday. (with the 2600 mAh)
There is not enough time for factory to delivery them to us before Spring Festival.
.
I just looked them up and they are in Shanghai, China, but they should be contacting me shortly after the 17th.

I am also in contact with My Vapor Store. They said...
.
We are expecting the eVic Kit and Tubes in three new colors to be available in about a month.
.
I don't know if this actually means Kits with the 3400 or not. I am on a Contact/Waiting List with them. I am in touch with some other Vendors as well. Will let you know as soon as I learn something positive. But I'll probably wait for my purchase until I get at least a couple of quotes. Since Heaven Gifts is in China, I probably won't bother with them.

So are the Northern Lights active all year round, or is that seasonal?

Only a couple of short Gangnams guarding the production plant back door ... should be pretty easy to take them out.

I suspect the 3400 will only be sold as an accessory at least for now. For me it's just all plus+ stuff, so I'm in no hurry for them. Could be worse ... no juice left ... lol

Not sure ... I keep tabs on them via google now and then as they can make for terrific sunset photography adding in green colors. I think the last one was in summer, not sure if it was a clear day either.

Not sure I understand you. If you're not really concerned about being able to get the 3400 in a Kit, you can get the Kit with the 2600 anywhere, except for maybe a Local Vendor in your area.

My Freedom Smokes has it as cheap as anywhere else at $104.95 US, and $11.95 for a Spare 2600.
eVic Variable Voltage Mod - MyFreedomSmokes.com

I do not like their Chargers, but you can get one elsewhere. The Xtar SP2 that I want can be found at Super-T Manufacturing.
IMR Battery Chargers for $34.95 US. (Out of Stock this very moment)

Since a Lithium Ion Battery is not supposed to Fly, you'd have to rely on Ground Shipping, but you could order it today, they'd fill the order on Monday, and you'd get it by Friday.

I already have (2) complete eVic Kits. I'm only waiting for the casings and the 3400mAh battery to become available, and I believe it can be charged via the USB cable to the control head.

I like the eVic charging system via cable ... really fast, no futzing with batteries in and out ... done in half the time. The eVic seems to have a slow charging system and I only do so overnight, but the battery will probably last longer than using faster chargers.

Cool! .I'm quite certain of the USB Charging, too. .And maybe once Firmware 1.2 (or whatever) comes out, the Charge Rate will go up to about 1/5 of 3400. .I want a separate Charger so I can Vape while Charging my Spare! .And I'd have to caution you to be sure to get the Joyetech Approved Sanyo 18650B, because it's supposed to have Protection Added, where the original Green Panasonic does not.

I'm not going to Fast Charge. .Charging at 500mA is actually a little slower than the eVic Control Head's rate for the 2600. .I don't know what Voltage the eVic Charges to, but the Xtar SP2 will cut off at 4.17 Volts, which is better than Charging all the way up to 4.2V. .The SP2 can Charge at 0.5, 1, and 2 Amps, but I only want the Xtar SP2 in case I ever get an IMR or INR Battery. .Since you have two Full Kits, you can Charge in one and Vape in the other.

I'd imagine so.

Good tip. Unless it's a Joyetech released battery I wouldn't buy it anyways.

I don't know what Voltage the eVic Charges to, but the Xtar SP2 will cut off at 4.17 Volts, which is better than Charging all the way up to 4.2V.
No clue ... but 3 - 4 hours until charged for the 2600.

Since you have two Full Kits, you can Charge in one and Vape in the other.
Ya ... since the 2600 goes all day, I only charge at night. The only time I ever use my 2nd. eVic is when I continually alternative e-liquids or the day turns into 20 hrs. plus.

The SP2 can Charge at 0.5, 1, and 2 Amps, but I only want the Xtar SP2 in case I ever get an IMR or INR Battery.
Makes good sense.

3 - 4 hours until charged for the 2600. .I had one, and mine took 6-8 hours, but that was after all day, and I hit it pretty hard.

But I'm glad you're enjoying it. I enjoyed mine, too, until I had to return it for Issues. So now, since the 3400 is available, and hopefully in a Kit before too long, that's what I'm looking for.

Best of Luck to ya :D

RTD Vapor have the Xtar SP2 in stock:
Battery Chargers : Xtar SP2

Thanks! .It's also $34.95 at Super T Manufacturing, and it's back in stock now.

But RTD also carries the eVic, so I'll write to them to see when they might be getting the Kit with a 3400 mAh Sanyo (Panasonic), and a Spare Battery.
Hey man, Thanks a LOT!!! .:banana:

I think I found what you're talking about in Colored eVic Mod (same thing you just sent), but these don't come with the Sanyo 18650B (Panasonic) 3400 mAh Battery, or any Battery at all for that $79.99 price (at least not listed), and there are too many colors.

The Joyetech web site only lists Shiny Silver, Black, and White in the eVic Colors.
I have to wonder if these are actual Joyetech Products!!! :shock:

And only the Black one is shown with the Black eVic Control Head.

I've seen these colors listed on other pages, and they've since been pulled.

I've already been through the Copy Cat thing with an eGo-T that destroyed itself (both Batteries!!!).

Thanks, but I think I'm gonna pass. :p

$ 80 for the battery casing only (No front battery ring)... I can almost get my front bumper re-electroplated for that.

Some other sites exist too that sell repainted eVic handles, and they are not Joyetech products either. (I don't happen to have a link handy)
