Joye eVic

[BostonVape]

I got mine from classified for 70$ .. waiting for it in the mail as we speak!

PM Me if you are interested, same guy said hes getting more but about 2-3 week wait

I also have random shutdowns ... But I can live with it, its 3 of 4 weeks now, and for the rest haven't had any issues. Got me a black tubing set, looks alot better and with some panasonic 3400Mah batteries I get a longer life out of it, thats all I need

I've found that if I set it down on it's end (as in on the battery cap) with more than a certain amount of force, the battery, having the mass/inertia that it has will compress the spring in the battery cap sufficiently as to cause it to break contact between the top of the battery and the top contact...hence the powering off.

Not talking slamming it down, but more along the lines of letting it drop an inch onto the bathroom sink flat surface area (seems where I do it the most..I think my wooden coffee table absorbs some of the shock). That lil drop is when I will find a minute or two later that it has shut off.

I have found that to happen to me quite often as well. If I am putting my eVic back in my front pocket, and I let go right as I put in in my pocket, and it travels down and hits something (say change, flash drive, etc) hard enough, the spring will contract just long enough for the battery to loose contact and shut down the unit. Happens maybe once every few days.Not a big deal, the VAMO does the same thing. (really need to find a better way to carry it one day lol)

I've thought of that happening when it hits the bottom the the spring and losses contact with the upper unit. Maybe I should adjust the spring so it be a little bit stiffer.

Retired my evic today. Happy sad. Happy I got a provari, sad because the evic got me off the sticks.


Smoke free since march 5 2013

Since I've had my eVic, haven't used the Provari as much. The eVic is lighter and seems to draw off the Vivi Nova better. Dunno. Just swap 'em back and forth. Tend to grab the eVic first, though...

Ya I like the build better on the provari. Feels better built and no under load voltage issues. Evic is a sweet device but to many strikes against it. Great back up.

Two of the strikes are a 5V/11w limit. Another is the screen can't be read outside in the slightest sunlight, not even on a cloudy day. Yes, I still like my eVic, but get real, it's build quality is inferior.

It's great for a sub 100$ mod but I saw scope reviews and its load test was all over and troubling was the lower the battery the worse the test. I love the concept of upgradeable firm ware but you need to have accurate hardware for it to really shine. I will take my evic to places where if I break a mod I won't be upset.
