Not sure...but the way I understand it...the Chinese have the puff counters set to be cumulative. Don't know why. In fact...I don't really "get" the reason for a "puff counter".
Other times I have changed the batteries, the puff counter, etc. reset.
I don't think I want an Evic which might report my vaping habits to China.

What happens when it gets to 999 puffs? Do you have to reset it, like another puff counting mod? If so -- HOW?
I heard yesterday when I picked up the Innokin iTaste MVP that I won in a raffle, that after 999 puffs the MVP goes into some sort of cleaning mode and fires for like 15 - 20 seconds. Not sure if that would fry a coil or not, but ...
You're Bad Bad. You gave away the big secret of the 999!
It won't necessarily fry your coil, but it WILL shock you! I grabbed that little carto so fast to remove it, welp, I could have won the fastest carto remover contest.
The Chinese have an odd sense of maintenance, or a sadistic sense of humour!

I've been asked what I've done to create a flat bottom on the Ovale V8 units I have. While it is not my intent to turn dragonbone's thread into a modding thread, I thought I'd also through in a little on the display treatment of the late model version. I will start there.
The display on that V8 sits back quite a bit from where the LED display of the former units did. In order to bring it somewhat forward, at least on the top, I inserted two toothpick behind the display. Thsee were cut short by the nippers seen in the photo.
I additionally blocked out the silver appearing legs and mask the edges of the display for a cleaner look. The tape was further trimmed with scissors from the photo below.
Next is the bottom treatment. Stirps of rubber were cut from a surplus back flap on a gas powered push mower that had seen it's better days (don't through away materials that may have future applications!). 3 ovals, slightly larget than the bottom of the Ovale V8 were cut and the split down the middle where the bottom separates from the V8. Adheseive was applited to the rubber stips, bound with rubber bands and then let to sit overnight.
The next step is to wrap a piece of electrical tape around the bottom of the V. Here some care is needed to set the V8 level and have the tape just touching the level surface on which it is sitting. The upward curving surfaces of the V8 bottom will be recessed away from the bottom surface of the tape. RTV is applied to the area within the tape boundary and it is set upon a paper sufrace to set up. i use deli paper for that ais it does not absorb the moisture from the RTV. RTV is a "Room Temperature Vulcanizing" silicone that sets up in a few hours and is fully cured in 24. In the picture, excess RTV is scraped away from the V8, thought is is not really necessary.
After the RTV is well set, the excess and paper can be cut away from the V8 and the electrical tape removed. Some cutting with a razor knife is necessary to separate the halves of the V8 case after removing the tape. A rotary tool can be used to sluff away the edges rubber strips and RTV where they may extend beyond the body of the V8.. A flat bottom will be formed and the deli paper will still be affixed. I chose to remove the deli paper by placing a piece of sandpaper on a flat horiizontal surface and carfully dragging thee V8 across the sandpaper with moderately firm pressure. It is important to keep the V8 squarely vertical while doing this.
The result will be a flat, relatively firm rubber bottom which will stand erect and stable on a desktop or other horiztonal surface. You should expect some imperfections around the base.
I'm not suggesting that anyone take these improvements on unless they are comfortable with the tools and materails. I just wanted to illustrate how I went about creating a steady V8. Perhaps this presentation can stimulate some similar and maybe easier ones by other users. : )

Woah! That is some awesome work, Sir Cool! I almost wish you would do a video on the steps of this procedure.
I myself had thought about getting the bottom flat, but I thought nail file. I always think nail file. In fact, if I can't do it with a nail file, it normally doesn't get done.
This is some really talented and creative thinking for our rocker-bottomed Ovales! Also, fantastic thinking on the toothpicks and tape for the recessed and 'showing too much' display! Great work.

All it takes is one member in the design department with OCD...
(Chinese worker #1) "Hey, do you think the American people really pay attention to our puff counters?" <987, 988, 989, 990...>
(Chinese worker #2) <991, 992, 993, 994, 995> "Prolly not, ...
<996, 997, 998, 999>
... but know what might be funny?"

It really is a silly - albeit .... - notion.
What was that PV? One of first LT type thingees? It had a display - sure. And a digital clock.
How fast that concept came and went. Gee, resetting a digital clock every time you changed the battery - what fun. If you did, you either had to be really persistent. Or really... .....
Can't recall the comedienne's name who said: "Ah the Chinese. So much technology. So little imagination."

I think they have LOADS of imagination! I often surf around alibaba looking at the thousands of different ecigs, epipes, ecigars, atties and tanks and other accessories etc. and I'm in awe!
Hi guys, I just want to share what I am about to click the "BUY NOW" button on so please assure me that all of the things I'm about to buy will fit together:
- 1 x Ovale V8 Version 2 with Ohm display (rubberised black)
- 4 x TrustFire Protected 18350 3.7V 1200mAh (with nipple)
- 1 x TrustFire TR-001 charger (will it fit the 18350s?)
- 1 x 18350 plastic case
Thanks A LOT!
P.S. For a few days I was bumping between the Ovale and the iTaste MPV, but even though the V8 mod, batteries and charger cost 20 bucks more in total, I decided to go for it since I like to think that in a long-term perspective it will be cheaper to only buy new batteries than to buy a second MPV, then a third and so on..
P.P.S. How many hours of vape time should I expect from it?

The Ovale V8 is popular in this thread!
I would check the length of the Trustfire batteries. I have some 1200 mAh Trustfires that can only be forced into the V8...and it's a struggle at that. There are different editions of Trustfire 1200's. I think you want them little more than 35mm long or shorter. Some run up to 37.? mm.
