Joyetech Evic VT 60 Watt

[Stormdad]

I've had the eVic-VT for a few weeks now, started on the stock Ni coil using 50/50 juice, no issues other than the coils do seem to get gunked up rather quickly. Switched out to the Ti coils, similar results with a cooler more flavorful vape. I don't think the small juice holes on these stock coil's will work very well with max VG juices. I've read people in this forum bashing the Mega One and I honestly think that for the price it's a pretty nice tank. To each his/her own with this stuff but the Mega One has not leaked once on me and gives a nice satisfying temp controlled vape, will try my hand at the CTR-Ti heads next. Once the Ω's are locked in at room temp, I've had zero fluctuation and it performs exactly as it should. I just built a 28g 8 wrap 3mm Ni200 coil, locked in at .11Ω on my Subtank Mini RBA, vaping sweetly at 480˚F 30w. I've had no anomalies and it stays in VT mode. One complaint I do have with mine is that the Control Knob feels rather loose and flimsy but functions perfectly. You can pick one of these up at VAPENW for less than the price of a carton of cigarettes.

So how was it.? Scale of 1-10 (10 =wonderful warm, flavorful etc.)

What I expected.

My vape game was already at the upper levels so didn't change much just prevents an accidental dry coil on kanthal.

So on a scale from 1-10 it didn't change much?.....interesting....lol

In your pics it looks like a lot of wire to wick surface area. Gotta be a pretty stellar vape.

I get near exactly the same with kanthal. I wrap the same 9 spaced wraps with kanthal.

My kanthal experience isn't typical, it is highly refined with the temp control of rayon wicking..

I've vaped 275ml of tobacco juice same coil and wick with no gunking on kanthal at 40w. So yes highly refined to nearly to the level of having temp protection.

This should just prevent stupid human events. Dripping will be easier with less attention to the vape needed.

Is that the subtank v1, mini, or plus on there? Just asking for size reference.

It's the v1 sub tank

Fyi..... Kanger ni200 occ coil is working nicely so far....it ohms at .16, been steady all day without fluctuations

Completely agree, I find it to be more of a flavor tank as opposed to its larger competition sub ohm tanks. Finally was able to get my Racing Yellow in on a GB. So I immediately put in the Ti coil upon unpackaging. Really digging the flavor of some 50/50 I had come in the same day.

My biggest gripe is that it doesn't seem to like those attys with longer 510 posts. Took a bit to get it to screw on the Silo Beast and I'm pretty sure my Magma will too.

I made my first ti coils for the evic vt. Wicked with rayon of course, single pull...

Went all out first try, a dual coil dripper. Only pretreatment was quick wiping with stainless pot scrubber and alcohol.

Infinite clt v1, copper pin.

28g unkamen ti, 2.4mm, 9wraps, .32 ohms. 50w, 580°f



Working well so far. No problem wrapping it as you can see.

Ohms are steady will see what happens.

So everything stayed the same. Was vaping ti mode all day at 600° and it was a nice warm vape I'm used to.. The ti res was locked right away when i started using it at .32..

Later in the afternoon i switched it to wattage and then nickle mode, with titanuim, and I noticed the res was different .34. It asked for new coil(nickle), I said same. My lock ohms remained on ti and I locked the ni reading... So later I was messing around with the vt trying to find some secret codes. Lol.

When I powered up it asked new coil and this time I said yes. Then the ohms showed .42. Vaped it in ti mode and it was a lot more accurate I lowered the temp by about 100+°. Then quickly it refined to .38 and I locked it. Now in ti mode instead of 600 I can vale it at 500° and its pretty good.

So what ever happened I think the higher ohms was more accurate for ti. Understanding that the temprature is determined off the base resistance you want to make sure your coil resistance has settled for the final lock.

Kanthal coils always have changed resistance slightly as they broke in, now that we're at .00 and resistance controls everything a very small fluctuation on break-in is a big change.

Imo this is normal and you need to make sure your coils resistance has stabilized for accurate temprature readings before you lock it.

 

[puddinman]

The VT has never asked about new coil, not even new...is this normal? I've taken the tank off several times but am still using same coil as when I first got it. It's a Delta II with stock .3 ni200 coil.

 

[JeremyR]

So while looking for the codes(lol), I noticed something pretty cool and possibly useful.

If you put a ti or ni coil in wattage mode at low power (10w) and fire it you can watch the resistance change. And also seems to give the most accurate base ohm reading.

So this time I put it in vw mod and turned off then on and that showed .42 fired it low and it still settled at .42. Went to ti and locked it at .42.

I think it's accurate now 450-500 vapes good. Before it was 550-600.

* *
if your vaping temp control I would set the wattage mode wattage low like 10w. If its not already.. Mine remains at 10w even if temp modes are at 50. (This is in case you jump out of temp protect.)

It only asks new coil when the resistance has changed more than a preset percentage.

Is it a pecentage of change? I thought the manual said res changes .05 ohm or more would prompt the new coil message. Don't have the manual handy but I'll check later if someone doesn't pipe in.

Dunno the specifics. My VT is still "processing", but that's what I've heard or read... might be a set number, but .05 is a big variation when dealing with resistances that low...

So somehow this tricks the device into thinking the res is higher than it actually is?

Yeah no kidding. When I was having STmini connectivity probs my temp would be all over the place.....that's only with .03 ohm fluctuations.

 

[JeremyR]

It's been determined that the ti temp is off by a varying amount, about 100°... If you run titaniun in nickle mode, like DNAs, you can use the calculated temps (180c is ~480?)

When it was .42, I think it was accurate due to the resistance value being higher than it should.

But alas, shortly after I locked the resistance, the locked resistance changed to .36. Then I reset and reinstalled atty the. It came up .43 ohms

Well I thought I better check the screws... They were all loose as a goose! Tightened them up and now it reads .33, back where I started for ohms with this build.

So poor connections can wreak havoc.

Great, thanks for the update J. My faith in the vt has once again been restored.

Some elaboration please.

Why so off-topic?
Are you rebuilding CS heads?
I assume with Ti since there is not too much space?
Persistent connection?
MTL vaper? How would you compare vape experience with Kanthal rebuilt heads?
