Just got my Evic VT, and so far I'm enjoying it!

Anyone using a Kanger Sub mini with nickle occ coils, and care to tell me what setting they're using?

With my SX mini, I had it set to 480 f, but with the Evic, I'm finding that 520f is a warmer, more pleasant vape, but it keeps cutting off ("protection" displayed). I raised it to 570f @ 41w, but will I burn the cotton at this temp when the tank goes dry?

Even at 570f, it still keeps showing "protection"....

Thanks for any input!

Lower your wattage...you don't need 41 watts, set it to 30. I can run 500* all day at 30w, .12 ni200 occ, with high vg juice. For 50/50, I run at 480*.

Do yourself a favor and watch the display in the mirror and set wattage to where you just reach the desired temp. At 41w, your going to hit TC quickly and it will cycle more frequently.

From fully charged to blinking battery indicator, with the Ti head on the ego one mega and stealth function off, 480f, 35w, resistance locked at 0.42 ohm I got
27 hours (including 8 hours of sleep for me and the vaporizer) of battery life
272 puffs
1344 seconds of vaping time
and I didn't keep track of juice consumed.
I was a bit underwhelmed, as I sense you are. I think the best way to evaluate the health of any unit's battery is to factor in temp setting and vaping time achieved over the course of a charge, giving consideration also to coil resistance (because the lower the resistance, the greater the drain on the battery to achieve any set temperature)

Yeah, I'm not overly impressed with the battery life of the VT but I am satisfied. I was killing two Vtc4's a day vaping at 30w on my Smoke M65's. The temp was very close to the VT at 520°f. Also about 20 mils juice consumed. I'm happy I don't have to carry an additional mod or battery to work now.

After reading a bunch on this thread, I went ahead and ordered one and today it arrived. I been vaping a kanger STM on it ever since it arrived and I gotta say, I like it better than my IPV 4's. I screwed on my STM and it showed it has a .06 ohm coil where my IPV4 shows it at .05. Is there a way like with the IPV4 to set the resistance of the coil? I was reading in this thread that it was done automatically.

Short answer: no. But you can lock the res after the vt detects it. The atty needs to be at room temp before detecting res otherwise when you lock your res your temp settings will be skewed.

There's many many individual factors the will determine battery life between each other.

I think the best figures to follow are puff count, vape timer, and power / temp level and ml.

If your vaping 20ml a day thats pretty extreme to me. I vape about 6 ml a day on average, kanthal at 35-40w. I get almost 2 1/4 days, 734 puffs 1266 sec.

The istick 50w did last me just as long if not a 1/4 day longer.. No 4 minutes of resistance monitoring after the vape on the i50.
Shows how variable vaping behavior is and how devices must be designed to allow this variability: Compared to you I'm a direct lung inhaler having vaped 1344 seconds on a charge over 27 hours with 272 puffs for an of average almost 5 seconds per puff whereas you average 1.7 seconds per puff (I take it you must be a mouth to lung). You consumed over 12 ml of juice over those 1266 seconds, but I'm pretty sure I didn't use as much over my similar vaping time compressed in one day. So maybe temperature protection really does save juice, or maybe I better start keeping better track of my consumption.

No, i do quick stiff lung pulls. 1-2 sec. I get a large cloud. My coils heat instantly with high heat flux... I do run high voltage with pretty hot coils, and In light of recent testing news I hope the vt will go hot enough in temp mode for me. Or, I just won't have to draw as hard to control the tempratures I guess. Lol

I started at 30w but moved quickly to more preheat. I want the VT to bounce off of TC; that's what I bought it for. At 41w preheat with my STmini wicked heavy, 65vg and a Ti spaced coil the TC kicks in after about 1sec....I'm finished with my pull at 2 5-3 sec. Perfect imo.

I think it might do ok for you. In Ti temp, 480f I just cranked up the power to 50w and took a stiff lung inhale for one-one thousand, two-one thousand and got as much cloud as I get for five seconds at 35w. Just to give you an idea, after two or three of those, the kitchen is misty, and it's not a small kitchen. And that's with the small wick-holed ego one mega.

Same here, but then again I have only been using the ego one mega topper. What toppers are the folks who are having the dropping locked resistance using? Has anyone ever experienced this using the Joytech toppers?
yeah, the Mega is the first topper that acted up on me (I thought it was the topper that was causing it) and it seemed to be worse than any of my Nickel builds, but I discovered that the higher the resistance, the more the "drop" in "locked" resistance. At the time, the Mega coil was my highest resistance coil.

They all "settle.." I'm betting that you are using an ST mini. Mine settles in at .12 ohm, doesn't change after that...vape between 480-500* F, and without doing the math, you seem in same range C wise. It's normal!
I've not notice any of my builds "settling" on my DNA40. The build in my Kayfun is approximately 2 months old and it never varies more than a few thousands of an ohm...unless I screw it on my eVic!:lol:

I like to let TC do its thing. Mine is permimantly parked on 60watts, so TC kicks in almost instantly. Love the quick heat-up time on these things vs the 40 watt limit of my Flask.
