Right behind you...
do you think they will add ss support or temperature coefficient in the future upgrades?

I'm betting they won't add direct TCR support. Doesn't go with their "keep it simple" approach, the UI changes would be drastic, and really, doesn't mate up with the average consumer that buys one of these. This is still part of a "starter" kit, keep in mind.

You might see SS support, that's not hard to kludge into the existing UI. But that's only if the rest of the low priced competition is adopting SS temp control in a big way. Joyetech isn't known for innovation.

But they don't need to be cutting edge, since they have pretty much given up on competing at the high end against the likes of Evolv and Yihi. They've got a solid share of the modestly priced beginner to intermediate market, and that's pretty much where they'll stay.

Could somebody with the 1.10 update please tell me how much does the amp meter say on 60W? It should be just under 20 amps on a full charge assuming the efficiency is ~90ish% (by steam engine), wondering what the device will say.
60watts?

Depends on how low your ohms are on your build
@0.18 ohms 5sec drag on bypaass mode/80+watts
I remember seeing just about 18amps
I can be wrong

Ah i wasn't specific, I'm interested in VW/TC mode, not bypass mode (in which the atomizer resistance shouldn't affect the battery drain amperage, unless it's showing atomizer amperage?)
Ti mode
460f limit set
60watts
Amps 14-12-14 on a 7second draw ;)
0.18 ohms

460f
60watts
Amps: 8-9amps on a cold coil (switched tanks)
Constant 5amps (after the first 3 drags)
0.40 ohms

Amps still change depending on your attys resistance ;)

Great, so i can stick with my HE4 on 60w with no problems. Thank you!

I would argue that high end as you say it is more Aiken to those willing to fork out $200 - $350 to become a beta tester :p. In the case of this device, only a few months ago, having features such that the vtc totes was unheard of.. In fact it caters to all levels of use. This makes it high end especially when you take into account the quality these are showing so far.

I see where you're coming from, but I don't really agree. The "high end" regulated mods of today are still far more capable or far more accurate, or both. But what's high end today will be found in the mid-range before long, and in the low end not long after.

Think of car brands. Evolv is BMW. Yihi is Lexus. Joyetech is Honda. Koopor is Kia.

See where I'm coming from? What was cutting edge on a 2010 BMW is now found in 2011 Lexus, and a 2012 Honda, and a 2015 Kia. Mod life cycles are a helluva lot shorter than car model years, obviously, but I think you get my point.

I see where you are coming from. I would suggest however, perhaps calling them "advanced" rather than high end would be more accurate as unlike cars, the "advanced" mods\chips have almost zero beta testing before they hit. Take the evolv 40s earlier this year, lots of probs.

Luckily firmware (bios?) Chips are on board allowing for updates to a point giving some safety net. Take the sx mini upgrade turn around time. I'd be a bit miffed had I bought the first iteration of that mod at $200. Now its about first to market with the DNA 200. Er, was. The opus mod comes to mind. The case for that leaves something to be desired. So I say, high end might be giving too much credit to first to market devices and chipsets. I think of high end more in tune with quality, attention to detail, ergonomics, looks, durability, and feel and obviously functionality being up there too.. When I see evolv and yihi I see advanced being the operative word as when they throw out a new chip, there's usually something that needs fixing... This may be a mute point as firmware is the word of the day, but we still need quality in the housing and mechanics. Having to add glue, tape, solder, screws, or anything else ruins the high end.
