It happens after his demonstration of how the resistance lock works, at exactly the 30 minute mark, so start a bit before that if you want to see. He has the unit in Temp Ti, 350f, 60w with resistance locked at 0.48. He fires, unscrews, screws back on and the resistance reads 0.59, all other screen information the same. The moment he fires, it drops out of Temp Ti into Power. Right at the 30 minute mark.

Thanks for the correction - I struck out that part of my post so no one gets misled. :thumb: So far I haven't had that happen, but it definitely can.

Same numbers here, except 5022 is my bright one...does it bother you too? I'd hate to return it and get one with issues...lol

Actually both screens annoyed me, so I started running them in stealth mode. Once I did that, everything was great. If I need to check/change settings it's just a single click to turn that screen on. With
that being said, I've only used VW not TC. I finally got some ni200 in the mailbox, so I may be looking at the screeen a bit more with nickel builds

You're welcome, I had to view the sequence four times to make sure because he whizzes through it very fast and doesn't even comment on the fact that it is dropping out of TP at a lower resistance than the manual specifies it will (1 ohm) - another mystery. I would try to replicate the scenario, but currently I'm trying to vape the unit under normal circumstances to test the battery life - I suspect the battery in my VT isn't up to par with what I have seen other users report.

Two days straight. 12ml of juice I say.

Battery drops off full relatively quickly, however stays in midrange for LOOOOOOOOONG time. I've vaped it 3 days before charging, and I still had plenty left in it.

Does anyone else own a black version and a White version? I've noticed a couple differences and wanted to see if they were normal or an anomole. 1) the black one has a bright screen, while the white's screen is dimmer. 2) the toggle switch on top of the unit is much more defined on the white one. What do I mean? The lines are sharper, the dimple in the middle is sharper, etc. so, I'm wondering if the dim screen and the sharper toggle switch Is a batch issue or did they change it from the black version (as the black ones were apparently produced first)

I have a white and a yellow. Same toggle switch, screen is same brightness but the back light is blue on the white and green on the yellow. No other differences I can detect.

Mine dropped out of TP once, but I'm sure it was my coil. I had the resistance locked so it appeared okay and I was surprised when it happened, so I tried to put it back in TP mode 2 or 3 times and each time it would jump to power mode as soon as I hit the fire button. Apparently the coil had jumped out of spec for TP to work. My other RDA coils have been solid and have never jumped out of TP in many hours of use.

Wow, and Tony got two days. Of course it all depends on setup, but here's my experience:
My fully charged unit, powered down with topper off for eight hours, already shows a 10-15% loss when powered back up before any vaping at all.
From fully charged to blinking battery, with the ego one mega Ti at 480f, 35w, resistance locked at 0.42 ohm and stealth function off I get

One day and three hours
272 puffs
1344 seconds (?) vaping time
didn't measure my juice consumption.

I think I got a sickly battery
 
Love it no problems

A reply from Joyetech about the burned wicks in wattage mode.

"In Power (wattage) mode, the first time the button is pressed after turning the device on, or fitting a new coil, the eVic VT runs through an atomizer test sequence that applies 25-40W initial power for a very short period (0.75 to 1.5 seconds depending on atomizer resistance). This test establishes whether the fitted atomizer is VT capable or not, and is performed once only after a new atomizer is fitted or the device is powered up. For all subsequent button presses the device goes straight to the correct voltage. We have tried to burn out a number of different coil designs by repeatedly removing and refitting atomizers to an eVic VT, and although there is the odd crackle as the atomizer quickly warms up, we have not managed to cause any burning of coils or wicks in any atomizer we have tried."

Anyone experience this? I haven't noticed.

Taste Your Juice | EVIC-VT HEADS UP…

I haven't noticed it either. I just attached my .67 ohm tank with a kanthal coil, put it on power and took my watts down to 8 watts. I don't feel or hear any power surge at all, not even for a split second.

Edit: I took the tank off and tried it again. This time I did get the power surge for a second. No big deal to me since I vape at 25 to 30 watts anyway. I don't see how a 1 second burst of higher wattage could burn someone's wick that fast, though.

But it does seem rare. What tank are you using where it's done that? You are the only other person I've heard it from.

I quickly grew tired of the Ego One Mega's poor wicking and went to RTA with titanium grade 1 wire.

I've been exclusively using 2 Cthulhus on my eVic, swapping between the two. The largest build I've used on either has been .32 ohms..... dual 9 wrap spaced coils 28 awg titanium 2.4 ID. The smallest I've used has been dual 5 wraps with the same wire and ID, at .2 ohms.
