It looks encrypted to me as well. It doesn't seem that the voltage or wattage limitations are limited by firmware, but by hardware, so I wouldn't expect any firmware update to lift any limits.
Agreed, but in 1.0 the wattage limit is 15 watts, now it is 11 watts. Did the hardware change? I don't know. I also don't like that it scales back based on the atomizer. I have cheaper hardware that lets me to set my voltage and it delivers it, why not the evic? Or is it a pretty girl on the outside and a hollow soul in the outside? (meaning cheaper than cheap (VAMO) hardware).
Basically, I use a rebuildable genesis atomizer and they do require higher wattage, but with my evic, I barely get a whiff of vapor.
