I'll certainly test this. Because assuming this has a 2.3 amp limit... that setup demands 2.9 amps and 14.7 watts.
The best the unit should be able to do at 1.7 ohms is 4v (2.3 amps 9.4 watts)
I agree with this. A lot of my friends in the Bay Area tech crowd have switched to vaping and a lot of them are interested in the eVic for the pure gadgetry. They're tinkerers by nature. Two of them have already started on custom firmware.
It's definitely not for everyone -- probably not for the majority of vapers out there -- but its a unique product with the potential for improvement through firmware additions. It'll be interesting to see how frequent the updates are. The first one is due next week as a result of early feedback.
Glad to hear people are getting it to work with dual coils. I heard about the issue in this thread.

Seems like most repliers agree, but only based on theory. Guess ill wait and see soon enough.

Okay, checked it at home..... 1.7ohm's set to 5v ....fire! 3.81v on inline meter, figure a .3v overhead = 2.25amps
Doesn't this use a Li ion battery? Great for mAh, but the battery itself has something on the order of a 4amp max discharge rate. Perhaps if a high drain bat were used?
Nope. Best the unit will do at 1.7 ohms is 4v (2.3 amps 9.4 watts- figure some room there for tolerance)
It's the math involved with Ohm's law not the battery.
Thing is with a boost circuit, it needs to be able to pull more amps from the battery. For example, a Provari goes bonkers over 5v unless it has a high drain battery.
I'm thinking the PCB is set to limit battery drain because of the battery they recommend to use.

I was disappointed in the beginning with my Evic, now that I have spent some time with it I have to say it is great. My biggest ..... was not showing the watts setting as I only use power. Well, I changed my mind. It sets the voltage to match the ohms and watts, the setting with the most finite adjustment is the voltage, .1 each click. Really makes it easier to dial it in for your best personal vape (I go in low because of the fruit juices I use).
The second thing I like is I can use almost any tank I want without adaptors, so easy, what a pleasure. I really like how I can see how much battery I have left without pressing a button to see the voltage of the battery.
I also dropped it 5 feet yesterday onto a hardwood floor, broke my kanger T3, Evic still working just fine. Maybe lucky, maybe good unit.
Others have said they are able to use LR cartos (I personally don't) which some people were concerned about because of low amps. Doesn't seem to be a problem as several have reported that they have no problems with dual coils (I don't use them either) or LR's. Another concern to put aside.
All in all I think it is worth the $$ (would love to get it cheaper) and has less problems on V1 than some people think and fits into my program just great.
Next purchase is a Jazz Pipe with all the extras as soon as they get them in stock. Good luck to all, I like mine (my kicked stinger is still the favorite)
The one thing I would like to see is for it to read the ohms on each tank automaticaaly like the kick, and adjust automatically without having to turn it off each time
The best is downloadable software, stay tuned for the future units coming out from everyone. The Vaping world is in for big changes. Wished they had this when I bought my 1st Zmax, I wouldn't have had to buy V2.

I almost forgot to post this... seen several questions about using the plentiful and multi colored JoyeTech eGo-T MOD Tubes on an eVic. Usually someone answers something similar to this: "according to this place or that place, yes"
Got mine in Friday and yes, you can. I have my black one on one eVic right now. So much more comfy since the JoyeTech black is sort of tacky and the stock eVic tube is slippery as hell.
I'd post a photo real quick, but this forum doesn't play nice w/my iPad

I can verify this too... stopped by a vape shop on the way from MI to Chicago and exchanged tubes. It works.
We'll be covering the eVic in depth on Vapelink tonight at 9:30pm EST.
We'll do a full take apart and some voltage tests, and talk about our use of it since last Thursday.
Feel free to call in with your own experiences or questions.

I have had mine for about 3 days, overall I like it.
I am using mostly rebuildables, it will fire my 1.5 ohm with no issue but my .9 ohm gen causes an error. The ohm limit is in between that somewhere.
From what I can tell this not a PWM device, if it is they did a good job of hiding it. I get no pulsing/vibration noise and the voltage seems pretty accurate to me, maybe a little higher then the setting but not by much. Certainly nothing like the Smoktech VV Gripper.
The 40 C "limit" doesn't seem to exist, I think something got lost in translation here. It displays a "high temp" icon when the temp of the control head hits 40 C but it keeps firing. I ran my temp up to 45 C before laying off it. I have only experienced this when using while charging. Of course now that I typed it, I just paused to vape and it showed up while not plugged in.
Seems to do this when the voltage setting is above 4.5 and chain vaping.
For a quick little non-scientific test of the amp limit, firing a 2.0 ohm Single Boge Carto and it does seems to run 3.0v to 5.0v without hitting an amp limit. Using the only 3.0 ohm cartos I have, left over Blu's, are the same. My single 1.5 ohm stuff runs into a wall around 4.5v. This seems to be pretty close to a 3 amp limit. I do not have any functioning dual coil setups to test at the moment.
I also have experienced nothing happen when plugging it into my PC problem. Reinstalling without uninstalling the MVR software seems to correct it and maintain the record. I have had to do this twice already.
I'm not sure if it's a mind game, but the battery seems to charge really quickly compared to my other 18650's which are smaller capacity? Not sure why this would be, the battery does last much longer than my others. I think I maybe perceiving it charging faster because of the display showing the percentage charged. Perhaps others are experiencing this ?
It is interesting to note, I did notice that the puff remaining count changes as soon as a new device is screwed on. I have not figured out the VW settings as of yet but it does not seem to adjust voltage to match a watt setting unless you enter the Power Set\Output menu. This leads me to believe this could be changed with a software update.
That's my experience so far, I hope it clears up some of the questions that are popping up in the thread.

On Phill's review he said he was not able to get a T3 to fire.
@djensen9367 Have you had any issues with the T3 not firing?
Thanks!
