The VTC has been so stable the last couple of updates, I don't even think about it anymore.
Mine has been in the rotation, all day... every day, since last October (Sept.? - pretty early) and if it broke... I'd replace it.
Damn surprised I don't have two, to be honest.

not just the installers - there seems to be an entire SDK for the Evic VTC mini:
GitHub - ReservedField/evic-sdk: An open source SDK for the Joyetech eVic VTC Mini.

In theory we now could hack our own firmware with TC and locking and TCRs just the way we like it. For everyone who thinks Joyetech did a crappy job implementing TC, hack away! :)

(Found that project some time ago and wanted to play with hack-my-own TC implementations, but just couldn't find the time yet)

Perfect... win your game... flat your battery. :rolleyes:
Jeez... just buy a $20 Pay-as-You-Go Android phone and don't activate it. :p

Still... someone's cracked the installers. What's next? :cool:

Great. Someone will turn it into a detonation device. Then we won't be able to get vaping gear anywhere near a plane. Oh... That's already happening. Never mind.

That would be done much more easily by using a crappy rewrap battery and setting the watts to 75.

My Evic Mini has been doing the anemic vape for a while now, and I just bought the WISMEC Presa and it has the exact same issue! Does anybody know if the Cuboid or Cuboid Mini has this issue? Thanks!

I thought the resistance "refinement" issue had been dealt with over the latest few updates, and hadn't heard of it in any of the other JT models in this series.

I expect more details are in order.

I'm beginning to believe that some vapers simply aren't happy with the realities of TC. TC may or many not be working correctly. People may simply not like what TC is capable of giving them with their builds.

What do you mean "anemic vape"? I'm using it with a Griffin at 34-36W and the first fire is taking a bit over a second. The second fire is right there, just the first one when is "cold". If this is anemic vape then I have it also. If not, please someone let me know if is normal this behavior. It's my first mod. Thanks

Did my first steel build on a Bellus today, also happens to be the first TC build I've ever been happy with too. :)

Dual 7 wraps spaced 26G 316SS @2.5mm ID, 0.21ohms ~ 50W at 540F
Gives a very similar vape to the same build in power mode, but with a faster ramp up and no slightly burnt finish on the end of a really long hit.

if you're getting anemic vape in tc mode make sure you have the watts turned up high enough. i had been running at 25 - 30, but found bumping up to 45 or so helped a lot with 10 wraps of 24 ga. ti at 3.5 mm id.
Definitely, the thicker the wire the more wattage you would want to apply.

I wish the puff timer were displayed full time instead of amps. Better yet how about a display of elapsed mah, another way to check battery capacity.

With stainless I can switch back and forth for a direct comparison. Temp control wins. In power mode I use 20 watts. If I go higher I tend to overheat the 1.25 ohm coils I prefer. But I would rather be at 30 watts. With TC I can have 30 watts and set a temp limit so the coil never overheats. So set watts where ever and then pick a temp limit just below overheating. Having said all that my coils are high resistance so watts can be lower. That's uncool but it's because I'm old and only want to see stuff blow up in youtube videos.

well, it's just an SDK. By default "it" does nothing. You have to use it to build/code the complete firmware including UI (=display) and logic (what voltage to fire when) from scratch.

There are some examples in the repo but no usable firmware iirc
Could be a fun open-source project, with TC built, developed and researched from scratch by a community instead of a closed-source black box by some companies (which many of us complain about), but nobody seems to care. That thing is out there for months...
