from my experience from playing RC car drifting, lipo battery need to balance charge, i have a balancer to plug in the lipo battery to charge in order to prolong the life of the battery.

so i wonder, is there a balancer chip or something build in this mod?

those case where istick explore are because of the lipo cell been charge unevenly, mean 1 cell get more juice than the other and cos it boom. i suspect.

I went into a B&M when I was out of town. The B&M will remain nameless. I was in their shop and I had my Evic with me. The owner who is a woman says too bad you didn't buy that from me. I was like umm okay...She said I got them in June 8th and you probably got yours after since I was one of the first to have them. I refrained for a second then told her I got mine June 6th and assured her I didn't pay half as what she is selling them for which led me to ask what price she had on them. She smiles and says $150. I held mine up and said $69.99 and what a shame it was to rip people off just to cover her overhead. I went ahead and bought some juice since that was the only thing not marked up. What is really sad is someone is gonna walk in there and buy that for $150 :facepalm: Part of me wishes B&M's would just go ahead and close up shop. I know they got to make money but geez.

I Was in my regular B&M the other day, and they were saying how it was pointless to do the huge markups on the higher end devices. Although they are charging $150 on a vapor flask clone and $75 for an Istick 50. They make their own juices, and quite well I must say, and that's where all the profit comes in. Their cost on a $25 50ml bottle of juice is $4. They mark up the equipment too, but not enough that I won't throw them a bone every now and then...typically tanks or something small.

I'm friends with a B&M Manager, so we do taste testing of premium flavor samples and try out new toys together, but he even understands why I do most equipment purchases online..

B&M is for ease of convenience if they are close to you, and for emergency repairs/parts/juice and well a cool place to hang with fellow vapers..

UPDATE:
200 puffs in and I'm loving my yellow EVIC-VT (yes it's actually yellow) Now I NEED my black subtank lol

Onboard balance charging for batteries with this low of an output is very small and easy to incorporate. It doesn't have to balance like a 2S lipo in a drift car, it's much more basic. Think of it like error checking to make sure one cell isn't too far off from the other.

Only multi-cell lipos need to balance charge. Nothing to balance if it's a single cell (think 12th scale here) and these lipos don't have that kind of output needed for rc. If this mod went to 8.4volts like a drift car i'd crap myself :)
And these are two single cell li-pos

Hey guys I haven't been following this thread so sorry to jump in with a random question. Since the ni200 coils apparently have issues I've chosen to just hold off on them. But I'd like a good solid subohm tank comparable to a subtank that uses nickle coils. Something with great flavor, vapor, and NO LEAKS. Any recommendations? I just want one good tank for this evic where I can use the temp control. This ego mega tank is absolutely terrible imo. Well, something that can use premade nickel coils and premade regular subohm coils.

SMOK TCT is a good option for $24 bucks and has massive vapor and good flavor. Haven't had a issue with the coils yet
