I've been noticing this a lot and if you don't mind me asking, what does the firmware have to do with your vaping? The limit is in the PCB itself, it can come out with a billion different firmwares at the end of the day your vape is going to be the same as it was at version 1.0... I've been looking at some reviews and unless something's changed, the firmware is kindof pointless, it doesn't add anything to the quality of your vape, merely gives you something else that you don't need... like a vape profile... totally missing the point... firmware does not determine vape quality, which is what you want when you get a device right?

Products have to evolve to gain market share. Evic doesn't want to be a me too product; it has to do more than what others can do to gain market share. We have already seen that in mobile technology. While Nokia insisted on reception quality, other came out with bells and whistles. See what happen to Nokia now. Nowadays when buying a phone, hardly anyone ask about reception quality but other bells and whistles.

Who knows? Convergence may come into play in the e cig technology. Maybe one day we can check email with an Evic, or my blackberry comes with a 510 attachment.

That's true, but that's entirely another thing, I'm sure you can have everything you want, I'm even sure the Provari can have all those settings too. But the thing is whenever someone tries to justify buying an eVic, it's always about the firmware, hence my comment lol. It's true that for phones they came out with all the other stuff, but it works and people use them, without sacrificing the quality of the reception or call... But I've seen numerous videos where the software just freezes, it's not dynamic, from what I can tell it doesn't recognize atomizers that're too high in resistance, the output just tanks... But when those people released those phones, they actually worked... eVic on the other hand just looks like a premature product, and when reliability and build quality are being discussed, people justify it by pointing out that it has firmware updates... lol, I know what I wrote is a mess, just random mumbling of my thoughts, but more or less it's there. I want people to have a good shot at it, people need to realize what is important in a PV before anything else, if eVic had that, I would just be like ok go ahead seems like a funky new thing but still reliable, but it doesn't...

Never said it had anything to do with the amp limit. Some things are actually useful. Like the restructuring of the menu - increased usability or user friendliness. The point is the vape quality has been thus far perfect and doesn't need to be made any better with a firmware upgrade. The firmware update tihngy just gives new possibilities to those with an open mind

You obviously don't know much about your equipment then. Charts don't lie. And I don't know where you got the idea that I was referring to amp limit from. I never said anything about amp limit, if that's your definition of vape quality, you have lots to learn...

And Once again...

A firmware update will not improve vape quality... even if you want it to...

My bad, i meant to say vape quality. Oh trust me, i've done enough research to know well enough about my product. I don't make decisions to buy china made products that easily. I have no obligations to prove that anyway. I shall rest my case.

Never said that either, just proving to you that 1) Vape quality does not need improvement 2) We know that the PCB cannot be upgraded by firmware and thus whatever assumptions you made about our perspective of the firmware updatability is incorrect.

I don't perceive to presume anything. You said it yourself and now you deny it... and now you're saying you meant to say vape quality instead of amp limit... thanks for the amusing and amazing contradiction you've just made against yourself, and please, just don't...

 

[TheBoom]

well yeah, like i said, honest mistake, very classy comeback though.

 

[Jett1980s]

I don't need comebacks... lol, when people read through this, it will speak for itself, the conversation will end here for me, I've had my fill of laughs, but don't mind me, carry on embarrassing yourself, it's very amusing to me, and probably to everyone else who will come across this thread lol.

 

[TheBoom]

another very classy comeback! i surrender to your majestic prowess of class and maturity.

Are you the class clown? Because if it's another "honest mistake", it sure seems like a deliberate one. That whole sentence is a contradiction in itself... lol.

Well bye, resorting to generic, repetitive responses whether in one variation or another are only the result of someone who is desperate and have nothing else to say.

Guys, please do not take this too far... you know what I mean.

Sometimes firmware does play a part ONLY when the designers built a powerful APV but nerfed it using software control. but knowing the MIC stuff they usually won't build something way beyond the specs.

evic delicate get a vamo

hmm...Vamo sounds like a plan.

 

[breit76]

Got it about a week ago. It's a solid device. Some useless bells and whistles but it performs perfectly otherwise. Might have issues with LR and HR attys though. Doesn't go above the amp limit (5V OR 11 watts whichever comes first). Dropped it a couple of times but no scratches or anything yet. I got mine for about 130.

Any more downside?

A PBusardo Review - The eVic firmware V1.0 - YouTube

This is the original (1.0) version reviewed.

There are quite a few issues resolved in 1.2. Several of PB's gripes were fixed. Mainly the clunky nature of the menu, the auto-sleep issue, and the device is now dynamic when you change your clearo/carto and recognizes the change automatically. Watch PB and then one of the 1.2 reviews. It still has a limits to output that are there to stay, but if 5v/11 watts is enough for you, it could be a good fit.

So far so good, downsides are all to do with the amp limit. It goes abit funky with HR attys and i have one that i can't use above 7 plus watts because of that. The ring is also abit wobbly and can make abit of noise when u pick up/set down the device. One last thing is that you may experience tight airflow with some attys or cartos. Having that problem with my stardust, the air slits are covered by the ego threads when u screw it in flushed. Fixed that with an adaptor, the same kind you will need for a provari anyway.

That video is outdated anyway. Look for the 1.2 firmware reviews, or go to Pbusardo's review site TasteYourJuice.com where he talks about the 1.2 update. Updated and honest "research and experience".
