    From memory,(which ain't reliable) you can't change on the fly, but you can switch it into regular mode and adjust power, voltage if need be.

    What I mean is you would make a profile for say 10 watts nominal but it starts with 15 watts to get the vapor going quick and ramp down to 10 watts after 0.2 seconds or so (don't know if that's a good idea but that's what I'd like to try).

    So now you want to adjust this profile to 11 watts. Can you just select it an increase it without having to change all the different steps or can all steps you've set increased by percentage? My guess is no, but that's what would be good if you want to adjust to taste or change the juice that needs more or less watts than another juice.

    But even if that's not possible, they could just update the firmware. Would other people like this option as I described?

    @twistedchild316 lol very nice video!

    PS: I wonder if it will be possible to change the 510 connector to be adjustable or even spring loaded? Worst case you screw up the top cap to add stability to your tanks.

    Lmao, what magic? Honesty the chip was meant to be 35 watts from the beginning IMO. Look at the names of past chips... sx200=20 watts; sx220=22 watts; sx350=35 watts. IMO I think they may have programmed both firmware before the launch of the chip and put the 30watt firmware on the hardware so they could pretend to come out later with a brand new update to 35 watts. IMO they did this to show off the chips ability to upgrade firmware right away. That way people would want to buy it because of that feature thinking it will keep going up in watts via upgrade. Well if they could gone higher on watts with this hardware, why didn't they? Is it a programming issue? I'm no expert but I seriously doubt it. Either it can go higher but they didn't yet because they want to sell future updates to firmware to go higher watts. Which would just be copied and posted online everywhere so that wouldn't work on most people. Or they caby go any higher with this hardware. Or thet could go higher via update but they won't because they want to sell new chip versions. IMO it's a marketing ploy. Ya firmware updates will be great to work out bugs. Etc. Maybe hack firmware and change things on it...

    Yes and no. You can start a vape at 12 watts and back it down to ten. You set that up on the computer. I don't think you can adjust the profiles from the device itself. But you get 3 memory banks for each real time setting and you can also rename them to match your atty.

    Unless I'm doing something wrong, it looks like the Supreme only has one RVW mode user configurable setting versus 3 on the old eVic, and I can confirm the control ring doesn't do anything once you select RVW.

    Also realized that as the control ring moves round rather than being sprung loaded like the old one, there is no "turn and hold" anymore, so the only way to switch mode from the device itself is by using the vaporset->switch menu. Similarly you would have to use the device menu (or computer) to change the display layout now. I tend to configure everything from the computer then pretty much leave it alone, so it doesn't bother me, but may be of interest to those more used to changing things frequently from the device.

    Click the firing button 3 times, then twist the wheel left to select volts/watts/rvv/rvw, then click the firing button again, done. I discovered that accidently, and man what a time saver. I like mine in Watts mode, but it takes way too long to make drastic power changes in Watts, so I switch to Volts real quickly, and raise or lower the power much faster.

    Thanks for the info. I hope they add more features to the software / firmware.
    Would be great to adjust the RVW profiles easily by just turning the wheel in RVW mode.

    And if I understand this right, in vw mode the dial changes the wattage in 0.1 steps? Might be a good idea to be able to configure it to change in 0.5 watt steps.

    Oh, no doubt, that ".1 watt" stuff is just silly! I can hardly detect a difference in .5 watt increments...until I go too far and it burns, LOL!

    Another handy shortcut is that you can return to the main screen from anywhere in the submenus at any time by holding the firing button for a couple of seconds, just like the original eVics.

    Thanks! Good find. Now I see why my wife is always telling me to read the instructions.

    Get mine tomorrow can't wait..... As far as starting your vape at a higher voltage and then lowering it. On my 2.0 ohms I like starting at 4.3 volts for the first couple seconds then down to 4.0 volts for the last 8. And one question just cause I'm more familiar with volts than watts what is the difference? Is it more like a Fahrenheit and Celsius you get the same temperature just at a different number? Probably sound dumb but you never know unless you ask right.

    Watt is the unit for power, or the energy that is transformed from electrical energy into heat.
    Volt is a bit like a force or "water pressure", and dependent on the resistance of your coil you will get more or less watts.
    So a variable wattage device will measure the resistance and always put out e.g. 10 watts of energy through your coil, independent of what resistance coil you use. That's the advantage to variable volt mode, it's a more comparable setting between different coils / atomizers.

    Here you can see some formulas of "ohms law" (e.g. watts = volts² / resistance). So 4 volts at 2 ohm is equivalent to 8 watts.

    I understand it more as Amps is the diameter of the pipe, while voltage is the velocity of the water, and wattage is the total flow of the water...
    same rule applies then, pipe diameter X velocity = total flow which is the same as Amps X Voltage= Wattage.

    One solid day of 20+ watt vaping, and I'm pretty impressed with the performance and the battery life. Right at 300 "puffs" (LOL) and it stayed consistent right to the last "puff"....(really hate their choice of words for that one) I guess I should add that I switched to a 2600mah VTC5, but the VTC4 shouldn't be too far behind. Can't wait for someone to review one of these with a scope!

    Thanks I will look in to that tonight.
