My Intellicig EVO Review

[womblebat]

Hey leftezi

pleased your enjoying the EVO, just one hint i will point out to you (it was pointed out to me as well) when dripping with the EVO do not drip into the atomizer directly, rest the nozzle of your liquid against the metal mesh bridge until it soaks in, repeat a couple of times and you are good to go, as good as the 901 at dripping, the reason it is tasting better is because you have burnt off the primer coating on the atomizer.

have fun!!

Note: I had my previous post written more than a week ago and was ready to post it since the forum goes down for all this days.
I have posted this today - as it was written then - because this was my first impressions from the EVO.

I have used the cig for a couple days (i had no more cartridges) and ordered two more packets for friends and cartridges for me. I received this today. It is true that the batteries working very good. They last long and all this time are very constant. Now it is my only e-cig that i use when i am not at home.
I will wait for a couple days and if this all will go wright i have to make a bigger order for more friends.

Until now i had some acquaintances who told me to order a e-cig for them but i always said them that they should wait for some time for a better product because the e-cigs still have problems with batteries ect.
This is the only time that i am saying that this product worth its money. It has a good price and a good function.

For this few days that i am using the EVO, i give 10/10 in Price/Value.
I hope that this will stay that way.

Thanks for the tip womblebat.

The EVO is taking off big style. I spoke to John at Intellicig the other day and he said they're just flying off the shelves. That's the beauty of selling a quality product I reckon.

 

[womblebat]

agreed badseed, quality product at a quality price, i get paid again on the 26th, just as they get restocked feel some batteries and atomizers (4 hole standard now i think) being bought, going to try the menthol carts as well, heard really good things about them

 

[BadSeed]

The menthol carts are lovely. I'm not a big fan of the normal carts, but I really like the menthol.

 

[womblebat]

have youtried the x-high menthol?

 

[BadSeed]

Yep. It's got a great nic hit.

 

[womblebat]

cheers i have tried simons minty menthol but it was a bit harsh with little to no vapour or taste

 

[igetcha]

i might do a EVO maintenance guide, dripping technique and re-filling video tomorrow if people think its a good idea.

anyone interested?

thought it might be good for the people who are new to using one.

(of course, the guide could also be used for similar e-cigs!)

 

[BadSeed]

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Spot on Scott, ive had about 40+ pm's about the EVO and me fingers hurt

In my last order i received the two EVO with shorter "Atom" batteries (they had informed me for that before) because they was out of stock with the standard batteries.

And guess what! My friends loved that. The cig is tiny now and very light, you can hold this if needed between the lips without using your hands, like a real one. As John answered to my question the Atom lasts around 80% compared to the Genie, 4-8 hours average use.

I have held one from the Atom batteries for myself, to test it. I am vapping 4 hours now and stills working 100%. I am wondering how long will they last before they go totally out of function.

Ya! There was a menthol cartridge in the pack and tasted it. Lovely! I never expected that i would like a menthol cig.

Oh! Just runs out of power and put it to charge again.
The end comes very suddenly because the last draw was the same good as the fist one! Nothing warns you that they are close to stop.

It took a couple minutes to start charging (it blinks 4-5 times to show that the charging procedure have started) from the moment that i put it to USB. I suppose this is normal.

One issue that i have to mention is that so long the batteries was in the pack (by shipping), in the one from the two packs they was discharged.
In the other pack, as i put them out from the box, they was blinking in every move. I thought that they have a very sensitive switch but as they came out from the little nylon bag, they was not blinking in every movement.
I think that the bags should have a couple air-holes to avoid this "suck" effect in every movement that discharges the batteries by shipping.

Yes. I am very interesting for that.
In my first order i have ordered the EVO without additional cartridges to test it, but because i have liked it, have tried to refill the cartridges until the second order arrives.
Totally failure. The most times came liquid in my mouth and when i tried to top less liquid, it produced less vapor. I gave up until the new cartridges came.

 

[igetcha]

sure, provided the kids give me a few minutes peace then i will do a video tomorrow!

I think the menthol tastes more like peppermint.

i received my second evo 3 days ago (backup)
and i found out that the vaporizer has changed.

see the 2 images in the attachment: neu = new + alt = old

the new one gives a little more throat hit but the taste is not as good as the old one...

well things change

taste will get better mate, at the moment you are probably tasting the factory primer. once that has burnt off it will taste the same as your old atomiser.
