I"m not wrong... they ( Vrms and Vavg ) are both methods of measurement of voltage or as you said... calculate it.

PWM is something else... it is a type of output where the voltage is pulsed ( on/off ) as apposed to an analog output. You can use either Vavg or Vrms to measure a PWM output...

If the output is "flat" (DC) then Vrms = Vavg.
If the output is a PWM waveform, usually a square wave, then Vrms <> Vavg

The eVic is not variable wattage. I for one and hoping for a flat accurate voltage output, no RMS or AVG needed. For $140, I want nothing less.

From the official product page:

b. You can adjust the output power from 2.0W to 15W and
the output voltage from 3.0V to 5.0V by yourself.

Hmmm, I was looking at the vamo, but assuming this does actually do vw,I may hold off. (both are very unfortunate names, though the evic it's slightly worse, suggesting being thrown out of your house our being a victim of cyber crimes).

Can we get some clarification on how it powers?

Erin, the VAMO actually works very well for it's price range. Not the classiest thing as far as fit and feel but it does everything it says. VV, VW, RMS, AVG, OHM checker, battery checker. I don't have any meters but the RMS usage seems very real world. The best part is...no shuffling through long menus, everything is done by pushing the + and/or - buttons for different timeframes. And if you use the one 18350 configuration the size is nearly identical to the stock pro vari. For the 50 to 55 price range it's well worth having it available. They come in chrome and gunmetal and from what I hear soon stainless or black.

I don't quite understand this puff counter thing. I guess it's to limit you from overdosing on nic. I've always found it a bit silly, though. But the device looks very nice.
:laugh: I don't understand any of that stuff either Wolands or the AVG, BAC, VWM, MBC, ABC, STD, RSD, it all means nothing to me but I'll tell ya I'd never spend that much money on a PV unless it was more useful then puffing on the end of it to make a vapor cloud. It would have to clean my house, wash my car, pick up the yard, do my grocery shopping or something :unsure: I just can't justify that kind of expense for a battery to heat a coil and give me vapor :?:


*No one should feel badly about my opinion here....just think of it as one LESS person getting in your way at the supply of these when they come in :laugh::laugh:

Chris, are you going for that Paul Shaffer look with your avatar photo? or is it just a coincidence? I noticed Daniel has a lot of DeNiro going on. Great stuff guys.


BTW Pricing: (from joyetech) for the base kit: 3v-5v:

$139.00 USD
€ 120.70 EUR
£98.08 GBP
4448.00руб RUB
PLN 529.31 PLN

Base kit includes:
1x eVic Control Head
1x eVic Battery Tube
1x eVic Rechargeable 2600mAh Battery
1x USB Cable
1x Wall Adapter
1x eVic Manual
1x MVR Manual

Joyetech products catogeries, retail price information

I don't mind the hefty price, but it has to perform. It stopping at 5v is not a good start! Come on Joye 5v? really?

I applaud Joye for making this product, but I have doubts on the build quality, we shall see and I hope I'm wrong. No Doubt a huge leap for a Chinese Manufacturer. If anyone can pull it off, Joye can, though.
There is a co-op discussion in another thread that will get 20% off the price once enough people get in on it.
I'll pass and wait on the DNA20 im thinking.

Pulse modulation?
And in that mode, what does the "puff" counter count? :D

I am not a fan of PWM mods, but I'm optimistic because eGo Twists output a flat voltage. PWM can be done well or poorly and can greatly vary. I once bought a cheap VV mod, and wondered why my atomizers kept dying and everything tasted burnt @ 3.5v and over, plus boge's made a weird pulse sound. Then I learned about PWM and it all made sense. Needless to say it was using AVG to calculate voltage and slow rate. the vape truly was horrible. Ever since I don't buy anything that doesn't have flat output. Even the RMS method puts extra strain on coils by pulsing alone, though the vape should taste better in theory. I don't think it's asking too much for flat voltage. I know PWM saves a little battery life but there is a cost that comes with it, or at least extra circuitry to convert PWM into flat output.
