Review eVic VT

[retiredguy]

To be honest, I bought this eVic VT cos I liked the look and the colour of it. Is it any better than a Nauti on an iStick for regular 'non sub ohm' vaping? Personally I still think that a Nauti on an iStick50 wins out but I'm biased. This eVic VT looks the dogs bollocks and no mistake. It is a lot heavier and boxier than an iStick50 but it gives an airier vape. The juice tastes exactly the same as it does in my other mods. Downside for me of it is that it vapes far too hot in VT mode even with the temperature turned down as far as it will go it's a right 'Vindaloo Vape' . Almost fried my tongue so it did. Hence I'll not be using VT mode again any time soon. In VW it is OK for me. Will be interesting to see what the sub ohm lads make of this piece of kit, it's probably designed more with them in mind anyway.
Could I recommend it to someone who vapes like I do for flavour and convenience and doesn't do 'sub ohming'?
Nope. It's nowhere near as easy to adjust as the iStick. You have to juggle about with the firing button AND a knob on top -at the same time- to change any settings. It is well complicated. That said the instruction book is good. It's just a lot more to have to do to set it than on an iStick. It leaks quite a bit too, plan on having kitchen towel handy. Suspect it comes via the wick but with the air holes fully open the juice seeps out, nothing, so far; cures that so it'll be standing in a saucer tonight. Fair enough; it does a lot more than an iStick but if you don't want all the bells and whistles then an iStick is probably still yer man.
Is it worth the (with discount code it came to change out of £80 squids posted) money?.. Definitely, for looks and style alone this is a beautiful piece of design art.

Hiya,

Not sure what you mean about having to use both buttons at the same time - you click the fire button 3 times to access the menu then use the switch on top to navigate. It't not at the same time.

Mine hasn't leaked at all and seems very solid and sturdy.

Only problem I have is that its bloody loud through the air holes.

That looks a really slick piece of kit. Looks kind of retro due to the colouring style.

Cool review and I laughed at "Vindaloo vape".

This is maybe a silly question to ask. When in VT mode with NI or TI coil does the wattage need to be set or does this do it automatically to achieve the temp that you set ?
Thanks

You set everything every time and then lock in the settings with the fire button.
It does fail safe in all modes though so you can't really feck up the settings.
I'm only using VW mode.
Maybe this one is dodgy but it leaks like a sieve via the air holes.

Thanks for the reply. I've used VW and seemed good. But it shows wattage and voltage. I know I like my juice at 3,9 ish volts. Bit in temp mode with NI coil it shows wattage only and being quite new to this I have no idea what wattage I need For the coil.

I have an ego one kit also and it leaked really bad. Guy in shop told me to take coil out and press down the mesh on the top of the coil a wee bit. Donno how but it seemed to work. Then I put a new coil in and never leaked since, so maybe a bad coil

hey, i'm new to this temp control stuff too. When you set the wattage, that determines how fast you reach your set temperature, nothing else. Once it reaches that temperature the device dials the wattage down to try and keep the temperature near your set level.

its quite different that using VW mode, basically in VW you are setting the voltage or wattage, and in temp mode you are setting the temperature and the watts or volts settings is how fast it reaches those temps when you press the button

The coils should be up on Joyetech website this week so I'll try a fresh coil in it.
It's leaking so badly that I have put the tank on the subs bench for now.
Funny thing.
I put a mini nauti with a 1.8 coil on it and it read 1.92 ohms.
No idea why.

Yeh there is a thread on here somewhere about it. The guy in the video doesn't have a clue what he's talking about, ignore it.
