This update has redeemed joyetech in my eyes. I was boycotting them when they lied about the devices capabilities being a 15 watt device when I preordered it. Then the devices cumbersome menues and useless features earned my evic a spot in my sock drawer.
I did a lot of bashing of it on here but now I'm eating crow as this update while still being a weak device (for my taste) has made it a joy to use and it is now along with my provari as my most used devices.

Auto means automatic. You press the button to start and then let go and the Evic can continue firing up to 9.9 seconds. You can set how long you want it to auto fire. Manual is when you press the button and it fires and when you stop...it stops.
I bought my eVic about a week ago and to tell you the truth, and keep in mind this is just from my experience. It wasn't really worth the money. When I first purchased it, it was great all around. My first time charging it I had came back and it wouldn't fire at all. I didn't have one of the faulty devices that were recalled or anything it just didn't work anymore. So I brought it back and got a new one for free. Two days after using it I already have issues with misfiring and simple not firing at all. Its strange because on occasion it wont work with certain atomizers and cartos. I try them with one of my other devices and they work fine. It will work well when I change out the carto or atomizer but for some reason the one I originally had in it just wont fire up. After looking around and seeing that nobody really is having the exact same issues as me I've just came to the conclusion that there's something wrong with my new eVic. I'm going to try and return it tomorrow and hopefully can at least get store credit from my local vape shop.
Does is say anything on the screen, like 'No Atomizer Find/Found'? Or does it say 'Atomizer Short' I have some china atty's that I put on the Evic and it says 'no atomizer found' but I don't have any problems with my regular RBA. I tried post pulling these atty's but it still did not register on the Evic.
I'm leaning real hard in the direction of the Evic, but I'm also hooked on the T3 and Evod bottom coil clearomizers from Kanger. I've read this thread and searched and it seems like some of these devices take some minor tweaking to get them to connect to the Evic. I guess I just want to make sure that you actually CAN pull the post on ALL these clearos/cartos/vapor delivery devices.
And it also seems like some folks screw on the T3 (or MT3, whichever) without any fiddling about and it just....works.
I don't mind doing it, I just want to make sure that doing so won't screw up either device. I kinda feel like I'm beating a dead horse, but you know the saying....."better safe than sorry...."

My eVic just randomly went into this test mode. The screen said:
Test Mode
Main
Key Start
In both cases it is non-responsive, screen just stays there. The only workaround I have found effective is to remove the head from the battery, hold the button down while plugging into computer, doing a factory reset in MVR, reattaching battery, and finally updating to v1.1 in MVR. However, this only works temporarily, every time this has happened, the screen goes back to Test Mode (seconds, minutes, or hours later) and I have to redo this workaround. Is the device defective or is there a way to turn off this Test Mode?

I suspect that if you update to 1.2 your issue will clear up. I am sorry to hear that you have experienced this issue. I have had no issues so far with my eVIC. Additionally there was a recall on some serial numbers you may want to check their site and see if yours was in one of the batches they are replacing.
Not a problem. I use a lot of Kanger gear and am not having issues with any. Sometimes a post may be set to high from the factory but is easily pulled down a tiny bit to make contact.
I am running T2, T3, T3 mini, MT3 and T5's all on eVics and they work nicely.
Thanks, good to know. I'm using a VapeOnly bottom coil clearo right now and it's pretty spiffy! Holds about 3.5ml of juice. Good flavor and vapor. It will look nice on top of an eVic, as others have already said. Waiting until I get some more replacement heads before I throw some Boba's at it....
so whats going on with the user profiles thing I was hearing the Janty MiD was gonna do?
is the eVic going to be able to do that, or can it do that already?

You should contact the retailer for a replacement - that is a board level issue.
Software isn't going to fix a test mode loop if a full reset didn't. Unit has a mechanical fault.
My understanding is it is in the 1.2 update. Havent tried it yet as I'm happy just the way it runs now. Not really sure why variable timing of different wattage would make a difference. Sometimes my draw is only 2 seconds others it may be close to 10 seconds.

I have four MT3's and one EVOD in rotation and they are working fine on the eVic. Screwed right in and were detected right away. I have had some minor issues with the MT3's but they are not related to the eVic.
The only thing with my Kangers is that I have to loosen them a bit or I get restricted air flow.
Cool, good to know! Now all I gotta do is save up the dough and I'll have mah vurry furst mawd! (my very first mod, that is)
