First Post - Joyetech EVic dissapointment

[BudaClouds]

I understand if it drops off the table to the floor, or something like that, but mine fell over from being erect on the table to horizontal ON the table. To be fair i did drop it a couple times and it was fine before that... maybe just hit a sweet spot in the plastic. ended up getting a good deal on an Itaste MVP (liked the box shape) love it so far and its taking a beating. next one will be the billet box if i'm lucky enough to get my hands on one. I would contact joytech for help, but i threw the cracked head out so I guess im screwed. Anyone wanna buy a samsung battery? lol

Dang. I'd have bought the Top cap from you. Can't find a replacement anywhere.

I've got that too, along with battery sleeve and battery...make an offer you can have it all! Made sure I took the cap off head before chucking it. Just in case I buy another vic n diff color i figured i could switch it around back to silver. But I dont wanna another e vic so let me know.

Looks like you have to make full member status before I can even pm you.
I'll keep a watch on things and be in contact.

I've held one at a local B&M, the build quality didnt feel as sturdy as the vamo. just my thoughts

Just wandering by, excuse me for interrupting, but is this what someone was asking about? http://www.vaporkings.com/JoyeTech-eVic-replacement-control-head-p/evic-controlhead.htm (I happened to see it earlier today)

ETA: Hi Buda! Say Hi back and you can get PMs.

I've dropped my eVic too. Still works fine. Now my Lambo has taken a punishment and that sucker is a champ. However, my eGo twist sat in a big bowl of water in the sink all night and now doesn't work. I'm not CPR certified for the twist so I had to put her down.

Can you try the rice method? I dropped my Nook in the river (EEEKKKKK) and sank it in rice for a month, and it works now. Oh my, that river day was a bad day, the day I pulled it out of the rice and it worked was a happy dance day!

My evic fell for more then 10 times. But most of the time 5 clicks and reboot back to normal. Sorry for your loss.

Hello, thanks for the support

I typically dont post on forums, but I just wanted to help some fellow vapers save some money.

My Evic fell over very lightly on my coffee table and the head unit cracked. it no longer works and its 60$ to 100$ to replace just the head.

i was enjoying the unit, but a minor fall over should not come close to breaking anything.

Do not buy this flimsy junk unless you are wiling to bubble wrap it.

Thats why perople push the Provari...bullet proof!

 

[mainevaper]

This is why I will NOT buy an expensive PV. The way I see it, if I break a $25 unit, no biggie, just get another. But breaking a $100 unit would piss me off. Not to mention, for $100, I can get 4 $25 units, so if I do break one, I have 3 backups, and I break stuff A LOT. Lol

 

[Wheatbread1]

I had the same issue. I dont recall having droped it but noticed a small crack in the display window. Latter the same day the top portion of the head broke off. The clear plastic is all that holds the head together ill be surprised if many others dont have the same problem. Mine still functions but is of course unusable and not worthy of trying to repair. I did like it but will look for something stronger for my next battery mod.

Methinks you need a bigger gun.

I was thinkin about getting one too. Does anyone know what a reasonable price would be for a used evic?? I don't want to overpay

 

[foreversummer47]

I treat mine like a baby, just because of the price. I did a-lot of research before deciding on it, and durability was one of the cons. I went for it though because I liked the fact that I wouldn't have to buy a separate charger, and the plethora of information you can get from the screen. Oh and for an absolute tank, which I will get eventually since my eVic only travels in its case, get a Mechanical.

 

[spoolin300]

I guess I got lucky, I've dropped it several times, but this last time did it, except that just the top popped off, I snapped it back into place and worked just fine. Going to add a couple drops of some special glue we have here at the body shop and hope I don't drop it again.

 

[MrChinoSun]

I've dropped mines while in the bathroom and it works perfectly still

 

[jcmccord235]

The top popped off my eVic several times in the first week, popped it back on and it worked great. Until it popped off and the wires broke. Now it's a 18650 charger. I agree that it's flimsy -- I say buy American.

 

[wyllic]

I had a tiny crack develop in the screen of mine, then the top kept popping off, finally the top popped off and the wires broke. I ended up soldering them back on and wrapping some electrical tape around the head to hold it on. And bought a ProVari. I loved my eVic but it really is a flimsy device.
