The FeV V3 was interesting until I found out about the mesh. Seems like a big PITA to deal with. Heard the flavor is excellent, though.

The only mesh in the FeV is the feeder wicks that rest on top of your regular wick. You just roll a couple of 7mm wide mesh straws to act as the bridge from the tank to your wick. They don't have to be oxidized or anything else, just rolled and put in the holes. You don't even need to change them when changing flavors, just a quick rinse while they are installed works fine.
The flavor and ease of use of the FeV is incredible you can fill it in seconds and rewick it in a minute without having to drain the tank. Pull the tank off and you have full access to the deck.
This one has a little too much rayon in it but I had picked it up that morning from the post office and built it at work on my break. You can see the little mesh tube sticking out of the tank on the left.
Then you pick up a glass tank kit for it and the FeV is a one fine looking bit of gear!

Ok... but how do I know what my "preferred temp" is? I currently vape somewhere between 8 and 10 watts, at the moment on a coil that's 1.7Ω... obviously that's not very warm, but how do I know what that temp is, so I can set it for that?
The main thing that grabbed me was when USMC mentioned how helpful it was with his kayfun that has no clear segment -- can't see when to refill, but the TC lets him know because there's less/no vapor -- same deal with my Achilles, I need something to let me know when it needs juice, because checking it constantly is for the birds! It's really hard to get that top cap to start turning, I usually have to use the pliers, because there's just nothing to grab onto for sufficient leverage to make it start turning. If I only had to remove it when it REALLY needed juice instead of every hour just to check, I'd be a lot happier. Or if someone made a clear tank for the Achilles!
I really wish they'd make these things for people with normal-human sized hands! And normal-human strength!

Start with a lower temp and keep working up until you get the same warmth as you get with your current setup.
There is no "delay", as you vape, there mod regulates to keep temp at its settings. It keeps your vape "where you want it to be" on the fly, far better then any VW mod can. The drop to very low wattage is only seen when you are firing but not drawing on the atty.... Where that low wattage is all that is needed to maintain the set temp....take a draw and the wattage will jump back up. In fact, if you have your preheat wattage set higher then you would normally vape (like the min. 30 watts for Andria
Sounds good... but it won't burn the cotton wick, will it? Because I am NOT using rayon, period.
Andria
Ok... but what does "lower temp" actually mean? 300 degrees? 400? 500? I don't have a SINGLE CLUE what temp I like, so I have no idea how I will set it -- if I can't figure something out about that, then I don't see a lot of point getting it -- won't it tell you what the temp actually is, if you're vaping in vw mode?

Nooooooo
Pliers are sacrilege, you will have to pack that up and send it my way for proper love and care...
In all seriousness though it's Titanium and shouldn't mark that bad.
I use one of Qorax's excellent tips and apply a little lip balm to the o-rings on all my atty's before I assemble them. He has a Burts Bee's that he uses but I could not find any without a smell or flavor. So I use a Nivea Active Care for men, this doesn't have any shine, flavor or smell to it.

Makes getting things apart a lot easier, and with the o-ring lubed up you don't have to put tops or tanks together that tight to get a good seal.

Actually the pliers don't seem to mark the titanium at all -- all my stainless kayfuns have pliers-scratches, but so far none on the titanium.
Maybe I should get one of those squeezy-balls to strengthen my hands. As an all-day/everyday typist, I really thought my hands were already pretty strong, but everytime I have to try and start unscrewing one of these tiny little things, I learn just how girly my hands really are.

The eVic's temp range is 200F-600F. Start somewhere in the middle, lets say 400F at 30W. Give it a whirl and decide if you want cooler or warmer. Adjust the temp, leave the W alone and try again. Wash, rinse, repeat until you get the performance you want. The device won't indicate temp in power (vw) mode so you're just gonna have to pick a starting point randomly. 400F is fairly cool for me but I Vape at higher wattage than what you posted you Vape at. 350F might be a better starting point.
Ok, I'll try that! Not sure when I'm going to get that mod, actually. I have a wedding anniversary AND my no-smoke-a-versary later this month, but I also have a Dr appt to budget for, in August. The mod is $50, and I'll need some titanium wire, another $10... hopefully I can separate $60-ish from the budget in honor of my 2 versaries. But, I'll just have to see. We're also paying extra on our escrow currently, thx to our taxes going up, so that in the winter, we can get another escrow analysis and maybe have a lower house payment thru the winter, when the budget is much tighter.

That would work.. but it's $10, and I already have pliers, right here in the kitchen drawer.

Very true, just trying to protect your finishesThat would work.. but it's $10, and I already have pliers, right here in the kitchen drawer.

I don't have one of those, if I need extra leverage/grip, I tend to just put on a nitrile/latex glove.

The only ones I really worry about are my black and gold kayfuns (both already scratched a little, but not badly), and my gun-metal cartotank -- which I'm not using these days, thanks to my gunky juice. The scratches on the stainless ones aren't really all that visible; that surface is very forgiving.
