I like silver on black.

Just fired mine up. I had gotten 2 Aqua clones last week and built a dual coil on one. After several tries, lol. When done it was just ok on my vtr or zmax2. On the Evic Supreme I can't believe it's the same aqua build I made. Fantastic and at only 12.5 watts. My aqua's and Iclear 30 and 30's fit flush. Just a slight gap on RSST's. Letting it charge now but I'm sure my various other tanks will look good on it. Love the weight of it and feels quality. Big juice order came also so I'm gonna dig the weekend!

Man this drains the battery really quickly... Put a fresh vtc5 and I got only 4 hours before the "overload" signal.
Good thing I have 6 vtc5s :p

Something isn't right. Bad battery? bad eVic? You should be getting way better battery life than that...unless maybe you take 10 second draws everytime, LOL!

I vape a .75 ohm dual coil at 20 watts and get about 300 3-4 second "puffs". That pretty much last me all day.

I'm running my Russian at 1.0 ohm and vtc5 last me all day. Usually bellow 10% at the end of the day. But that's why we buy spares.

Using a KFL with a 1.4Ω coil at 18W. Am a chain vaper. Diminished battery runtime is a given. Have lotsa batteries and good chargers. Not a problem.

PBusardo has posted his extensive e-Vic Supreme review. Taste Your Juice | THE EVIC SUPREMELY LONG REVIEW

His review reflects pretty much my my peeves but in great detail. Spoiler alert - first review where he concludes no overall thumbs up/down. This two part 90 minute marathon will become a PBusardo classic review. The man is a review machine. JoyTech should be paying him for his engineering and ergonomic feedback, as all of his advice is very detailed and well thought out. It surprises me that the JoyTech engineers didn't pick these things up.

Even with all the shortcomings, I still give this device a hearty thumbs up. I expect JoyTech will be pouring over his review and fixing what they can in a Firmware upgrade (a powerful advantage of this platform). Some of the thumbs down Phil gave are really minor in IMHO.

Given that the 510 connection is removable, there is the possibility of Joytech releasing a new 510 connection that eliminates the gap with some toppers/topcaps. The sharpness of the endcap could also be addressed with a new endcap. So most of the physical issues are addressable in a post release firmware and device upgrades. Can't say that for many devices out there.

My advice to JoyTech is this - debug your e-Vic S firmware and do a second gen device that is formatted more like the ZNA. Don't copy the ZNA but what suprises me is that nobody has picked up Zen's fundamental design around reducing mod height with a side-slip style of their own. Those of us who are not box-mod fans would love a device where the control head parallels the battery compartment. I think JoyTech has a really good control package, surrounded by a mediocre tube design. Much like my retired iTaste 134 original, the length of this device is a really challenge for pocket portability - this is not a take to work device IMHO. I did see a VaporShark DNA30 box mod yesterday in person and I have kinda warmed up to the ergonomic advantages of that particular device. Now if you had an e-Vic S control head in a tube-mod style, parallel with the battery, but not in box form, I think it would be a great alternative to those trying to score a ZNA.

I love his reviews I had been waiting for it. He makes a good point about the 6V max but I love that it down converts more than I dislike it's 6V max.

One thing on Phils review I thought funny. He complained pretty heavily on the roughness of the battery cap and where the tube connects near ring. I had previously watched his review on the itaste SVD and on that device he mentions some roughness but doesn't really seem to bother. Well I got the SVD the day after the Supreme. The SVD is very sharp on extension tube. His other complaint (which I agree) was the usb cover. I took it off because I kept trying to fire with it like Phil. However, I am constantly trying to fire the pm and vw buttons on the SVD which of course cannot be removed. Granted one device is $100.00 more. I like both though.
