Taking the VV plunge

[XCypher]

This morning I placed an order for the nice looking Gold EVO with of course some aw imr 16340's (4 just to have extra), charger, a dct v2 tank with an extra ss drip tip (just cause i wanted to make only 1 order).
All for just under $110 with shipping/tax/cod. Now I wait....

 

[IT_guy]

Nice! An EVO with a dct is what I use most of the time and its a great vape. I'm sure you'll love it!

 

[XCypher]

I hope so too, have seen nothing but good things about the Evo. Definitly time to upgrade from the ego battery.

I have two of them, cool little (relatively) vv device! Great at driving those dual coil cartos. Make sure you mark those batteries when you get them (for example A1 and A2, B1 and B2) and always charge and use the pair together....also good to rotate the position of the given batteries in each the pair (for example A1 first in the sleeve, then next cycle for the A batteries A2 first in the sleeve) if you already know all that forgive me lol Just have a good vape

Yes I was aware of how to properly maintain and use of batts. But still always good advice

I didn't think of that Good info for when I start changing things over. Thanks.



GOLD sounds really nice!!!!

Ah the EVO and it's 5v goodness. I found VV vaping to only be my gateway drug to high voltage vaping. Once you go to 2.5-4 ohms and start rocking it out at 5-7 volts..... Makes the flavor (and your carto) pop. I have no clue why starter kits run at 3.3 to 3.7 volts when most people settle in at 5-5.5v.
Welcome to flavor country.

The wait is already killing me lol.

 

[XCypher]

Well getting ready to go pick it up as it was delivered. Be back later with my report.

 

[XCypher]

Well off to a horrible start not only was the order short 3 batteries but now I'm awaiting an email response for the missing batteries. The worst part can't use it one one battery alone :/ So guess i'm left with wait or order batteries from another vendor ..... sigh.

 

[CityLights]

Oh FRAK! what a bummer! How on earth does a vender miss that one!

 

[XCypher]

Beats the heck outa me but least I was informed by the vendor that the missing batts will be shipped out. So guess I'll post something back here once I get em.
Additionally is it just me or am I required to shave down the o-ring on the SS drip tips as it is hella hard to push it into a 510 dcc. and I don't mean a lot, just a mm or so.

 

[Cobber]

running a EVO and a DCT I don't think I would use a SS drip tip ... they get hot ... VERY hot.

But that might be just me

I ordered one last week and my wife stole it on me. I had to get an other one today. Just hope its here for the vape meet on Saturday

 

[XCypher]

Ya the one that comes with it fits very snug, enough so that you can tighten down the carto with just holding the drip trip.
Btw the gold evo does look very nice and will snap a few pics.

 

[XCypher]

So finally got the rest of the batts in, very happy! Now the bummer is i'm at work all day then time to charge them lol

 

[XCypher]

A few pics of the Evo with a 4ml dct.

 

[XCypher]

This beast does not really need to go over the low setting lol ... I need to punch the carto though, as mine only came with one hole and definitly not doing the job which is ok no biggie. So in the mean time i tried my 2.4ohm head on vivi nova v2, low setting a bit high imo, medium burny taste yuk. So got the 2.8ohm head on low is just right.
So I would like to assume this is the 4.5/5.5/6.5 upgraded version, as I have tried the 2.4ohm head on a twist at 4.2V and was only slightly warmer than a regular ego.
My 2cents ... Cheers

Are the circular holes vents for the battery ? I know the triangular holes were always on the cap, but VaporChase and other reviewers complained about the lack of venting on the actual battery casing.

You've gotta get some smoktech dual coils to try on that.

 

[XCypher]

Yes those small circular holes are for the batteries and i have a pair of aw imr 16340 550mah and that is a smoktech dual coil 1.5 the only issue with it is that it only has a one 1mm hole on the side, definitely doesn't keep up with the juice so it's sidelined till i punch it.
