I believe I have the latest and greatest version, at least for a few more weeks. I run in wattage mode and found from reading the directions on the Evolve site that there are a couple of things that can be turned off to disable the atty question.

I still get the check atty question when it won't fire and snugging the atty down usually clears it. I don't crank everything down as tight as I would like to because of the possibility that I may have something on my GEM come loose when I take it out. It would be very hard to get the bottom pieces out of the Xvostick if they loosened before the 510.

I haven't checked for the orange charge light, but it mine does go from red to off. It may go green for a bit, I just haven't seen it yet.

The screen on the bottom doesn't help since I usually look at it when something is wrong. I'll try and pay more attention to it to see if I can spot issues in advance. It does seem to react and show things very quickly compared to my dna 30 which takes a little while to catch a new atty and adjust the Ohm's reading. I have noticed this morning that the Ohm's varied slightly the first few pulls when I put the atty on. Probably just me not getting everything tight enough because after 4 or 5 pulls and a slight twist it was back to reading what it has been on that tank.

I did notice things tasted a bit flat below half on the battery screen. The battery was about 3.6 when I pulled it. I'm so used to carting around an extra battery that I haven't gotten all my charge cables in useful spots yet. I just leave the house with a fresh battery out of habit whether or not it needs to be changed and carry a spare.

For Kat...Brandon and John are co-owners and co-inventors at Evolv. Real pioneers and innovators in vaping since it began. They hold the patent on VW (they invented it as far as the Patent office is concerned) and have created such products as the 30, 40, Kick, 200, and of course the Darwin. Bugs and glitches and all, we owe them both tons, and tons and tons. It breaks my heart that this counterfit stick has chosen to use their name in the splash screen. That's just wrong. Not to mention the "confusion" it can and will create in the marketplace. I have zero connection with Evolv but have spoken with Brandon a number of times when I was writing an article for my Blog. Great guy! Bugs, glitches and all. Their would be NO TP revolution without these geeks. They started it and the bat cave geeks followed.

Thank you, Senior. :)

I'm appreciating this clown for what it is, but, like you, I do dislike the use of the Evolv splash, and the XvoStick logo as well.

Brandon and I are acquainted actually, and know his work fairly well. Yes, he and John have brought SO much to our vape table over the years. They truly have pioneered in the field, and their products have been more than well received.

I too am kinda acquainted with Evolv and Brandon. Kat-gal's picture of the Darwin caused me to break mine out today and plug a naked carto (pre Boge-gate carto) to it and have a long forgotten vape with it. Just as good as it was years ago when the Darwin was new. Really good tootle puff and should all the new technology go away today it is still a satisfying flavorful vape. Kinda enjoying the vape on this many years old Darwin....
Evolv and crew :toast:

WOW! Fantastic story. Maybe shoot Brandon a note about this. I'm sure he would get a kick (pun intended) out of it. :)

FYI: My 3F counterfitzer board failed! It's was a humane death and no animals were hurt or abused in the process. I received a full PayPal refund from 3F after a few back and forths, navigating the language barriers, and other accruements necessary for a full cash PayPal refund.

Good luck to all :)

Great news, SB! And I'm glad THEY understand customer service. I can only refer to a very recent post, but a very dear friend - with the emphasis on the last sentence of the message.

XvoStick users?

Tiz sad, Ms. Noodle, yet so true.

Yet, now having both the Israeli version and the Chinese version, and having had some time to play around with both, I'm not really enjoying the Clownstick as much as I thought I would.

I think we may let them go and find a couple of new homes.

Remember Mr. Longo when I told you I've gotten better CS from the Chinese vendors (sadly)?

I most certainly DO, Roxy!

Truth? I've gotten better CS from an IRS auditor. ;)

OK, OK, so I'm lying (a little).

I'll prepare the adoption papers, darlingKat.

What exactly don't you like about the counterfitzer? I presume it works kinda or?

I'm feeling charitable /lol /joke

My authentic may need a play mate.

Here is a post from someone on the Fasttech review forum for the XvoStick clone:

"Just got this today from here. Lovely little device with one big problem. Every time I fire an atty, the ohms start rising and I get a 'ohm too high' reading. Tried it with a few different attys with same result. It's gonna have to go back which is a pity because it really is nice ...if it worked.

Update: Now the fuggin thing won't even turn on".

Well, it looks like these clones from Fasttech have been just as problematic as the clones from 3FVape.

When I get back to the US from here in the Philippines, I think I am going to order either an iStick TC60W or maybe a eVic VTC Mini ..... There just seems to be too many problems with these XvoStick clones.

Ironically, ours WORK perfectly. We just aren't tremendously fond of them.

But we're non-TC, and the simplest of vapers, so...

Go figure.
