5 Volts is a little high for a 2.5 ohm coil head... You're putting too much heat to the coil (heat = stress on the coil AND battery). Switch over to watts (HOLD the control to the RIGHT until it says "VW") and start at 7 watts and work your way up in 0.1 watt increments until you find what you like. Anything higher than 8 watts and you'll burn the juice, your wick, and your coil. If you keep pushing such a high current into your coil, you'll end up popping it.
If you should so choose to keep vaping at 5V, go into Configure on your evic menu, go to Temp, use whichever scale you're comfortable with, Alarm, and max it out.

I've burned plenty of wicks at plenty of voltages... XD It just happens more often for me above 8 watts on anything not SS mesh or ceramic
Silica or cotton, I burn cotton more often than silica though, but I have burnt a silica wick or two, my own recoils or stock.
Silica aren't quite "burnt" per se, but the middles are blackened and even when I dry burn the gunk from the coils off (wicks stay black no matter how many times I PGA soak).
Yeah, tried that, but there's still a wicked burnt taste on the wick even if I wrap around one of the "clean" areas. That and the juice goes dark because of the black spots so I just toss the wick.
I used to be a high volt vaper. Vaping at 5v for every ohm between 1.5-2.5 (3.0 ohms can handle that). I learned quickly that you don't have to up the volts to get a bigger draw. Slap on a 2.0 carto or wick system and watch it kick some ... at 3.8v. I made it a point to stay below 4v from all my passed experiences in burning the crap outta my wicks, etc.
Oh and hi to all the eVic enthusiasts. Finally worked up enough posts to post here.

Welcome man! I know how you feel, I was stuck in the New Member forums for a few days before being able to post here. The model specific forums are a bit slower than the general forums though...
As for the temp warning, does anyone know where the temp sensor is located? Is the eVic thermo-coupling the temp sensor from the battery nipple or is it monitoring its circuit?
I set mine to 65C limit... If it is monitoring the battery (through the nipple) then hmmm, I may need to lower it a bit...

Depends in what electronics they have inside. 65C isn't that much for ICs and passive components, it will heavily depend where the temp sensor is coupling and sampling its heat from... but if it's battery temp, you will want to stay well below it.
I think the temp control relates to the head unit itself. Not quite sure, but judging by my experience, I've only seen the warning temp when I've either over-worked the eVic or while it was charging. Over-worked, meaning that I chain vaped the smack out of it. I figured that the head (though inferior) is similar to a laptop/computer. Computers and laptops need fans, whether internal or external, to cool down. The eVic has no room for an internal fan to cool itself leaving only the option to warn you of over-heating? What about an external fan? I thought the same thing and my only assumption to why an external cooling system won't help in temperature for an eVic is because the unit is small with minimal vents for air to flow through.
Just my 2 cents. lol
