Joyetech Evic VT 60 Watt

[KenD]

Woot, it is here

It's so much smaller then I expected!

Definitely more orange then yellow too.

Is it correct that it won't go below 30W in Ti TC mode?

I started out at 200C but that was way too hot for me, I'm currently vaping at a really low temp, 125C or just under 260F for the Americans so much lower then most of you from what I gather. Anything wrong with that or is it possible that it feels hotter then it should be because my wick is on the loose side perhaps?

The taste is really nice at this temp. I wouldn't mind a bit colder vapor still though, but if I go much lower in temp it will not produce much anymore. But it is nice and warm now, not hot.

I'm using a 0,47ohm ti coil on the rba of the Toptank mini at the moment by the way.

Not much vapor, if any, should be produced at 125°C. I'm thinking there's probably something wrong with your setup, particularly as the VT is underpowered.

Yeah, not sure what was going on but since the resistance dropped from 0,47 to 0,38ohm it is working flawless as far as I can tell. I suspect the coil wasn't at room temperature yet when I first tried it if that's possible? 0,38 seems like a more realistic value for this build anyways.

I hover from 195C to 200C and back now with lots of flavor and a decent amount of vapor (not as much as I've seen on YT reviews but way more then my Ego-CC). I'm very satisfied at the moment, hmmm, blueberry cheescake...

This thread needs way more pics.

We have a lot of overcast today so the lighting is pretty bad, but it's a pic

And one more for size-comparison with a zippo in case there are other noobs like me out there that are curious about this lovely machine:

Yeah, that could've been the case 200°C is still lower than what most use, but there's nothing wrong with that. Seems that you like a cooler vape and you'll certainly use less liquid at lower temperatures Enjoy your VT!

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm pretty sensitive to heat in my mouth and throat so I was expecting to be on the lower end of the spectrum. I do notice I can go slightly higher the more I'm getting used to it though, so we'll see where I end up eventually.

I am taking much larger hits then I expected though. I used to be a mouth-to-lung guy but that has changed instantly to my surprise.

She's a beauty!

It will almost always readjust the ohms after you start using it and it completes the learning process and adjusts to the lowest ohm. There are ways to get it locked at the right ohms right away. I explained my procedure in the past

The temp in ti mode is off, so don't worry about what it actually says just go with what works. Pretty much it doesn't get much hotter with ti after you get to 500 which is really less than 400 due to the coefficient difference with the ti we are using. If we used wire with the same coefficient in the software for ti I think it would be accurate.

Thanks, she sure is. I kinda want a white one too now! lol

But I think I'll hold on to my money for a little bit, have you seen the new Cuboid mini with build in battery yet?

Ah, so I guess it's normal then. It never asked me if this was a new atty by the way, not the first time nor the second time I screwed it on. But I don't really care as long as it keeps performing as it does now.

I'll look in to the right way to introduce it to a fresh coil though, thanks again for all the tips to you and everyone else. Here's another pic to show my appreciation, I suspect it'll look really good with a CF tank...

I love the grip of the silicone sleeve. It's always on there unless I wash it or am going someplace special, or need it smooth for pocketing.

Here's the process that works for me for cold ohms. Joyetech Evic VT 60 Watt

This was my first TC mod and I absolutely loved it black and red beauty she still in my collection now does me for the car trips

Thanks for the link! I was one my way down through the thread but I didn't get that far yet

I really don't like the sleeves personally. Mine came with a black one and a clear/white one (the black one was a gift from the shop I got it from because they got my order wrong initially) but I hate the feel and the look of it and I don't see myself ever using them. Frankly I think it's sacrilege to put them on a device this beautiful

I was really surprised how often people asked if there was a sleeve for the device when doing the research and going through a gazillion threads these last few weeks though, they do seem quite popular for some reason.

I did order some silicon dust-caps for the USB port when I saw those mentioned in the thread earlier this week though, but I'll leave mine naked otherwise

Well, I followed your instructions with a new coil after I burned the first one (just me being stupid) @Jeremy R, but I still got a higher reading initially.

And again I had to put the temp down to about 135C as well funny enough.

After the coil had cooled down a bit the resistance dropped about 0,1ohm again just like with the first coil and then I have to up the temp to around 200C again, or whatever temp I feel like.

It's no big deal to me, I know that it does that now, I'm just curious why it does that or what I might be doing wrong if that's the case.

I did get the wicking better with this one though, with that and the larger juice holes in the V2 RBA I'm using now I'm getting huge clouds of vapor now

I am using a max VG juice now though, not sure how that effects vapor production. Just trying some stuff out.

I also tried the factory coil that comes with the Toptank RBA yesterday, but did not like it at all. I had to take it down to 7,7W in VW mode or the vapor was very harsh and the thing kept spitting back at me. I also kept getting a metallic taste with that coil (I think it's Kanthal, 0,5ohm).

So I'm sticking to titanium TC from now on.

Still very happy with my purchase anyways

I was wondering, you're not using ti coils in ni200 mode by any chance? That would explain your lower temperatures. On most tc mods ti works fine in nickel mode as long as you set the temperature 100°F or so lower (I don't have my VT anymore so I don't remember exactly what temp offset it requires).

Nope, I am in Temp Ti mode.

But it's only after introducing a new coil to the mod when it vapes so hot at lower settings. Once you've taken a few hits on the new coil and let it cool down again for a minute or two the resistance drops and I'm up to more normal temps. After that the resistance doesn't change anymore and it stays locked at the new reading.

My current coil is 0,31 ohm and I am currently using it at 175C right now. With the 0,38ohm coil I used yesterday I had to put it around 200C for similar vapor temps.

My wick was slightly loose yesterday though, and I'm using an RBA with larger juice holes now not to mention a very different juice as well if that could account for the variations.

Can someone explain to me what locking the atomizer does perhaps, because I'm failing to see the point of it since it doesn't really seem to lock anything.

I got my Velocity clone in today and built a 0,4ohm coil on it, and even if I keep the resistance locked @ the 0,31ohm of the coil in my Toptank mini it just changes back and forth from 0,31 to 0,4 when I swap the Velocity & Toptank. I thought it wasn't suppose to do that when it's locked?

 

[Joshatdot]

You need to lock the ohms for TC mode (Ni or Ti), and when you remove a atty & put in a different one, of course it will unlock, because it's a new atty.

When in TC mode, the atty needs to be locked, because when the power/joules/watts heats the coils, the resistance will rise if it is not locked.

my understanding, lets see how to say this... ?

so when you LOCK the Ω it is supposed to set the Base-Line
so the chip KNOWS how to apply the temp scale TO THAT COIL
once you change 'said' coil (chip reads 0.00) it would presumably ask NEW coil or SAME coil

it attempts to keep the values at what the coil was when made/cold...

at least that's what I think its all doing...

 

[JeremyR]

I believe I had to fire it with no atty a few times or possibly cycle the power to get consistent new atty question. I didn't change atties or builds too much. But at any rate it seemed to keep the atty baseline ohms regardless of if it were locked or not. Meaning the ohms change only showed if in vw mode. iirc

 

[f1vefour]

It should keep a baseline regardless of lock.

 

[OhTheAgony]

Well I figured what the heck, lets unlock it and see what happens (for science, right?) and it doesn't seem make any difference.

In Temp Ti mode the resistance still stays true no matter if I chain vape or let it cool down for a while, & if I swap tanks that have been previously installed it just reads the correct resistance and vapes without problems too.

I've locked it again just in case once I was done experimenting, but to be honest I think the whole lock thing is just some sort of prank they're playing on us

Do you guys turn yours off when you don't use it by the way? I just leave mine on on the bedside table at night in case I wake up and want to take a hit and battery capacity doesn't seem to drop as far as I can tell.

 

[f1vefour]

I think the only reason to turn off a device is if it's known to drain the battery in standby, or known to auto fire in which case I would get rid of it anyway.

Most devices these days have excellent idle battery drain.

As far is locking the resistance I'm really beginning to question this functionality as well.
