eVic-VT mini?

[scaredmice]

No, I don't think so. I've been using a pair of Efest 2500 mAh/35A batteries, which are presumed to be actually LGChem, for more than a year on daily basis.

As a result of that, they can't keep up their output at high power settings, so when they show just half charge on stand by, then under load they just trigger the 'low batt'/'weak batt' messages. In the eVIC you see a lower batt state after long draws, which often recovers a bit, but in the ipv D2 you actually see the voltage dropping to zero...
...but both mods performs flawlessly despite of this, they simply "eat" those batteries sooner than new ones.

Obviously, my eVIC VFT is not a lemon...

Tapatalking...Mind those lampposts!

When it goes to sleep and power is no longer applied to the processor tracking resistance changes in relation to room temperature in relation to internal temperature of board. When it awakens it remembers its last known computed resistance differential rather than clearing that temperature differential prior to taking a fresh initial internal temperature of board and read of the actual atty resistance.

It therefore thinks its initial room temp is significantly higher than it actually is and adjusts atty resistance lower to compensate.

YES this is EXACTLY what we're seeing. Thanks because noone, including me, could seem to put it so succinctly.

EDIT: Well...wait a second. This does not always happen after sleep, either. I've seen it do it without sleep. But I do think it has more to do with the board temp than anything. There's no way the temp is correct when it goes "anemic".

 

[Mercster]

On a positive note, the D2 I replaced my eVic mini with, works extremely well. [emoji1]

My IPV3 LI is coming tomorrow *jumps up and down in his chair*.

I've noticed that when I use any one of my 5 month old VCT4's I get the "Weak Battery" warning automatically. Even if they are fresh off the charger. The other interesting thing is that the voltage display switches from 75 watts to about 40-50 watts when I press the button. The brand new 25r's that I have don't show "Weak Battery" until the status indicator is below 1/4 and the displayed voltage never changes.

The mod needs to know room temp as the baseline for idle or cold resistance to track the temp of the coil. As the mod is used, the board generates heat at a certain rate based on your settings. The thermocouple on the board can no longer read room temp as the board heats but the programming knows the heat it is generating at those settings and that the mod dissipates heat at a certain rate and it keeps track of all of this while in use to operate correctly and it does this well while in use.

Problem it seems is when entering sleep, some units are being deprived of power to the processor that tracks those changes and it gets confused when it wakes up. That is my theory.

The correction is for better minds than mine but I think it would be:

• It would be easy to correct if the unit wakes and temperature of board is at expected room temp because then it is just a matter of logging initial temp and cold resistance.
• If temp is higher than expected room temp, the processor would have to know how long it was asleep to calculate the expected heat dissipation of the coil/mod/board over that time period. In this case the mod should assume the coil has cooled to its base/cold resistance and remember initial room temp from before previous use, then read current board temp and create a new running temperature differential. The problem is mod can run hotter than set temperature under this assumption.

So after playing around with this mod in Ni mode I have to give it a thumbs down. The resistance lock is not working properly. If I set my resistance, new coil bogus, it shows 0.14. This is correct if you trust steam-engine. After vaping a while the resistance decreases to 0.12 and the vape is not good. You have to re-set the resistance... for that you have to wait until your coil reached room temp again. This is annoying as hell and I decided to not use this device in TC anymore unless it works. If you you are looking for a new tc mod dont get this one!!!

 

[scaredmice]

In those low resistances, any added one by flimsy contacts or rearrange of wraps could justify your findings. Be patience because that, as standalone fact, does not justify neither diagnoses your unit as RDL -running downhill lemon-.

The RDL might exist or not, but I remember you -again- not a single complaint about those lemons in my country, just lost users ... in the new procedures.

I grant all of you that despite the big screen and easy managing, sometimes Spartan ones are better, and may be that's why the IPV D2 is so favoured for some ones.

Not in my country though...

Tapatalking...Mind those lampposts!

What does "Spartan ones" mean?

 

[VapingTurtle]

spartan ‎(comparative more spartan, superlative most spartan)

1. Austere, frugal, characterized by self-denial.
2. Lacking in decoration and luxury.

The capital "S" threw me off. Doesn't matter much, but I'm still not clear whether he means "cheap" or "few features" as in "basic". Probably the latter I guess.

 

[scaredmice]

Sorry, English is not my first language, and the word corrector put it in upper case.

Yes, in Spanish it is widely used ("espartano") recalling the way of life of the Spartans, from ancient Greece (does the movie '300' ring any bells?).

I thought that it could apply to IPV D2's screen, at least if you compare it to the luxurious VT and VTC mini in that field...[emoji4]

Resistance lock works perfectly as long as you actually know how it works.
You set the resistance when you first put the tank on, you lock it.
You do not readjust it, if it drops on screen, ignore it...why do you want to fiddle people?, theres no need to.
If youre having issues outside of this, look at thine coil build or thine tank (some tanks just suck at TC).....

Ive had 2 nickel builds (0.14 and 0.09) in my Lemo 2 on this mod and had 0 issues, best little mod money can buy, im buying another one tomorrow

For all those banging on about "sleep" issues, i dont get those either, probably because after i finish having a toot i turn the thing off....sheesh, its not rocket science...why would you want to leave it in sleep mode for starters?

For anyone considering buying one, buy one, used properly it will give you a simple push button consistent vape. Same vape every time....

 

[stylemessiah]

My rules for vaping mods:

If you want to find a fault with a mod, you'll find a way. Usually this happens because youve found you pressed Add To Cart without researching and/or understanding the mod or how it works, and find youre now out of your depth, and instead of owning up to your part of it, you set off to find a way to blame the mod, and then hatepost about it....

If you have that sort of time, get another hobby

Some people just want to vape...

I'm sorry, you're wrong on every single point, save one... yours is working fine.
That's fantastic. But you're simply mistaken in regards to the actual equipment faults a number of us are experiencing.

well,
we have lives to and dont sit and vape all day.
thats why the mod sleeps


and kindly backread...the anemic vape and sleep issue are valid issues and not user errors.
not because yours is working perfectly that doesnt mean everything is the same

Kindly backread my post, sleep issue isnt an issue if you power it off afterwards

I suppose i could test for the sleep issue, if i left it on and waited for it to sleep and then powered it back on, but that would come under my earlier heading of "looking for issues"

p.s. I cant be bothered looking for a sleep issue as above

 

[Jim_ MDP]

Let me get this straight...

You're suggesting that all of us (99.9999%) who do not turn our reg mods OFF when we know it'll be 5-10 minutes before we hit them again... are "looking for issues" to complain about?

If youre not going to use it for 5 - 10 minutes, then yes...turn the thing off, one less "issue" to keep posting about ad naseum....simples

If i came round to your house right now, would your car be on but idling in the driveway just in case you needed to drive somewhere in 5 - 10 minutes...i think not

Energy, its not limitless

It is that bothersome to click a button 5 times to turn it off and save power as well?

p.s. Show me the 99.9999% of people who never power their mods off after a chain (or other) vape

 

[Jim_ MDP]

You can't be that big of an idiot.

 

[skyboxer1968]

I only turn mine off if there is a probability of accidental firing. I leave it on while I sleep even, and that first vape of the day is warm and wonderful.
