Hey all, I live near the Ovale store in the usa. I have had mine since monday. Call ovale the people over there are very knowledgeable, and straight forward. They will answer all your questions, no bs. If they don't know they will tell you and then find out!

BTW,

I really like the Evic. It fires everything I have. Standard/LR atty's, Gtankus(1.7ohm), Line V2(2.2), DiD's, phoenix(3.5ohm), Ego LR, CE2's.

****Can anyone confirm if it works with kanger threads?

Not highjacking the thread but I feel I owe an explanation: I don't want to come across as a benevolent or rich person but I am older and so are my friends. I am fortunate enough to have a few bucks, some of my friends don't and we were all hooked on cigs, several people are living on SS and smoking just killed them financially (literally), if I can help them out and get them off cigs it makes their life a lot better for not to much money a month, 5-7 dollars a pack kills the little bit of SS they get. Most are vets like myself and are really good people, but at some point you can't work for health reasons but your bad habits still exist, (cigs are addicting as we all know), I found it so easy to quit a 50+ yr habit through vaping and I am passing it forward. A small investment now makes them more self sufficient til they pass (we all do), I know without the right equipment they will go back to cigs so this is my way of keeping them on the straight and narrow, or at least I hope so. I got lucky and started a small business 20 yrs ago (which I still work 3-4 months out of the year), I myself am drawing SS (gives you an idea how old I am) but still make good money with the business and it helps keep me healthy. That's my story. Back to the Evic info, I will get mine tomorrow and so far the only thing I have read that bothers me is it doesn't do watts automatically like my kick does or the Zmax, but I can live with that and I hope it can be fixed with an upgrade via computer.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply anything with my comment, just being a smart ...! Good on you for helping others out! I've been very fortunate to have have friends in this community help me out during tough times in my life, I commend you for doing the same! I'm sorry if that came off wrong!

I saw a picture of the top of a Ovale/Joyetech eVic, and it doesn't look like it has eGo threads, which is what the Kranger has, I believe. You can probably get an adapter though.

I asked a few pages back and was told that a Kanger T2/T3 fits just fine.

To me it looks like a big gimmick. A device for people that think by using this they will have a better vaping experience. Really if you think a little you know it is not. It might be appealing all the LED's and settings but really it is not going to blow you away or be any better then what is already out there. You can give this device to a novice and he/she will have the same crappy vape if they don't know what to put on top of it. IMHO it is about the heat of the wire, not so much voltage or wattage or how shiny the unit looks. After 3 years + of vaping every device that has been on the market I dare to say that the best vape is achieved when you have all the variables perfect: the device, the batteries, the the ingredients, all together in harmony will give you that experience. You can achieve that with little money, no fancy high tech devices but with the knowledge of what those variables mean.

It is like cooking: you think a digital oven will make a better dish?

Some people get the wrong impression of the features on the eVic. No matter who many gadgets are on a device, it will not improve vaping experience. It is the delivery mechanism that determines flavor. BTW, more competitors with newer gadgets will follow, so there are bound to be more comments like this made. If you don't want a Ovale/Joyetech, then by all means, don't buy one.

So what's your point of posting. Ovale makes no claims "This is is guaranteeing to make your juice taste better". Like it or not, there will be more products that have "more gadgets". Thankfully, you don't have to buy any of them.

I don't think anybody expects a better experience, it is a battery, it supplies power to your chosen coil and that is all. Pretty sure we all realize that. For me, I just think it's cool. Same as smartphones and computers etc. I also simply want as much info on the screen as I can. Puff counters and software are useless to me. But it sounds like it's a well built mod and the ability to update firmware is awesome.

At one time power windows on a car were "bells and whistles". Does it make the car drive better or get you from point a to b any faster? No. It is simply advancing technology. Same as the evic, and I'm sure many more to come after it.

Mine is on the way from vapor geek. Looking forward to it. Not because I think it will make my vaping so much better, but because I like technology. I needed to replace my two main mods with flakey buttons anyway. Got the vamo for small mode at work and the evic for at home.

Nothing wrong with that. But, I don't think the wool has been pulled over anyone's eyes here. We all know what it is, a glorified power source. No one is "falling" for it. It is a very well priced mod that seems from reviews to be built well. And its price as a kit is waaaaay cheaper that a lot of body only mods. It has a few issues, but all mods do. Difference is, this one can address most of those issues with updates. What I think is pulling the wool over peoples eyes is charging well over $200 for a body only provari. Personally I can't stand 1 button VV mods. But, that's just me. The vamo is a way better mod than the provari imo. Hoping the evic is also.

Let's wait and see until you have used it for a year. Until then: happy vaping on whatever gives you a good vape ;)

Very true. Honestly, my best most reliable mod to date has been a lavatube. Button is a bit iffy these days, but it has been solid. Now if the evic only had siri. "evic, set voltage to 5V please". ;p

I agree that a lot about the Evic is gimmicks, but also useful information for those of us that like to know what is going on..
The BIG change is updateable software, that is a big game changer not just for the Evic but also for future mods. Old school might not appreciate this because they have been doing it a certain way for many years but it will be fantastic, just watch the next 6 months. Mine is being delivered today and I am looking forward to giving it a run.
