Joyetech Evic VT 60 Watt

[JeremyR]

Set the wattage enough to give you the vape you want. I'm about 5w-10w over what I ran a similar gauge of kanthal.

Set the temp to the just shy of the point you taste the juice starting to burn when you run it dry or any given time you get a sense its starting to burn the juice go down another 10°

One the greatest things I'm noticing is that it adjusts to your draw. With kanthal if I ran it really high for power vaping during the day with stiff lung hits; and then later I take a weaker draw the coil would get too hot due to less air flow... With this it reduces the power so you get the same temp no matter your draw strength.

So if I want a light puff I dont have to do anything, the protection kicks in and maintains the temp.

It does a very good job at maintaining temp. Some wonder why the watts jump up and down during use.. Because its doing what its supposed to do, maintain a temp.

It is different than blasting kanthal with straight power. If you miss that edge from kanthal just adjust temp right to that edge and it will hold it without going overboard.

Just a couple minutes I was standing in front of a mirrow to look at the wattage while I varied my draw, haha.
You can also hear it start/stop firing when you do that.
Three tanks in, I vaped them all dry on purpose, so far no issues. Great taste as well.

I'm really liking how the VT tries to hold the set temperature. Given that, I have a noobish question.
In regards to coil cleanliness and longevity, is it better to set the wattage high for a really fast ramp up and let the TC do its thing, or cut the watts down and use the TC as a safety device?

The wattage display you set (30-60w) when using temp control only affects the intinial firing wattage (preheat). Once it hits temp protection it backs off the wattage. You should have the preheat wattage set to only as high as your atty can stand before hints of burny taste on intial firing.
My STmini can handle 30w continuous chain vaping with kanthal but in tc mode I run my preheat at 40w. I feel the flavor is a tiny bit better when my coil spends less time at less than optimal vaporizing temps.

The temp control degrees should be set at least 10-20°f lower than tasting burning; or lower still if you like a cooler vape.

For wick longivity it's been confirmed by many veteran vapers that getting the coil temp up to vaporizing temp as quickly as possible reduces gunking. Also running higher coil temps in general reduces wick life.

One last thing, make sure the wattage in power mode is set really low before using tc mode just in case the vt jumps out of tc mode back into power mode.

Yeah you can hear the popping stop but the vapor is still there. Takes a few days to get used to but its nice. Its like before we were just overheating the juice as we kept it popping.

I do not detect a fluctuation in temprature when it does this. It's a smooth vape. It holds temp instead of it running away like we're used to. If someone misses the edge just up the temp some more.

Like joyetech said it takes less power to hold the temprature of the wire once its reached temp.

I am very Impressed with this device. Happy vapor here now.

Yeah, beats the heck outta fine tuning coil temp with draw effort.

The temp of the coil shouldnt really go much higher then the boiling point of the liquid, if your wick keeps up well enough, though. Even without temp control. Thats in theory.
However, in practise I do notice an improvement in taste and hope my wick will last longer now. Will have to wait a week to see how the gunk production is compared to "normal" builds.
But so far Ti wire, Rayon wick on temp control seems like the dogs bollocks of vaping.

Someone in another thread was trying to blame tc tech. on his lack of flavor and dry hits.... He really didn't like hearing that the fault was his coil building
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

That is what I suspected. You want it to flash to vapor as much as possible instead of simmering on the coil. With kanthal I didn't worry about it too much because it's no big deal to rip the wick out and dry burn. I just don't want to have to make a new coil every couple of days because of the Rwhy4 juice I use.

I've had some success "dry burning" ni200 in tc mode heating to temp protection then rinsing with water a few times

Being someone who went 275ml of tobacco juice on kanthal single coil at 40w- with NO gunking being produce on rayon... I can say that overheating the coil is the number one leading cause of gunking. Rayons extreme saturation controlled the coil temps with juice flow...

At the same time I do always run an instant heating coil. So it may have a slight impact but I personally doubt that its a lot.

The juice is the second biggest factor. You must not overheat the juice. Sugary juices need a lower temprature because the sugars burn to carmel before vg burns. Nets need lower temps due to different components and excessive thickness of the extraction.

I'm dry burning Ti in power mode at 20w. Just enough to turn the gunk to ash. Pulse it too long though and the wire will try to burn and produce massive quantities of Ti Oxide on the surface. It rinses off with water for the most part so I have continued using the build. Hasn't killed me yet......

Yes on the sugary juices needing slightly lower wattages due to caramelization. I've been a NET vaper for almost two years now; they are dirty, even when filtered at 2.5 microns. I've not noticed that nets require any less wattage than any other juices though. Heat levels approaching burny will gunk things up with just about any juice.

Overall, too little or too much heat will gunk coils faster. Example: when I vaped nets at 40w in my dual coil Tobh rda the wick lasted half as many mils as when I started vaping it at 80w.

So, my VT from Gearbest is delayed to late July. Wondering if I should cancel or not.

If there is a possibility that any of the "faults" are bein addressed, that might be a good thing.

Are you patient? I'm not. I'd find a site to get it earlier even if I had to pay another $10 or so. For a mod that is, other stuff I wait on. Like my fasttech orders are usually just drip tips, replacements, wire, stuff I can wait on. Mods and tanks I want asap!

@KenD

You're in Sweden right? You can have a VT express kit now for 64€ in Portugal. Shipping is usually fast between EU countries.

Not sure how cheap Gearbest is though.

When the early reviews and user posts on the eVic VT were so overwhelmingly positive, I pre-ordered from gearbest. After the bloom was off the rose, so to speak, with certain issues cropping up, I cancelled my pre-order. I've kept up with the thread, however, since I like the form factor, features, and price. When it's confirmed that Joyetech is shipping an updated version that addresses the early-adopter glitches (presumably by fixing the firmware), I'll look for a good price and get one.

Update: the 64€ ones just went out of stock.

There is another good store that has them for 67.95€

Edit: Black is out of stock now, yellow and white still in Stock at 18:33

Jeez, these are still selling like hot pancakes. :s

I really don't have any issues that are worth mentioning. Yeah, the temp setting in Ti has to be set way higher but after a couple of days, it's just a number. Same as with my dna 40. It's set to 185C for a month now although I know that in reality it's 232C (Bloke measured it). It's just a number.
