Initial Review of Joyetech eVic
I’ve purchased the device today from ‘vardex.ru’ (found them from Joyetech’s Official Distributor List) directly from their office. The device is really nicely boxed, and unpacks to:
- Control head
- Battery Tube
- Samsung 2600 mAh Battery (arrived 71% charged.)
- USB Charger Cable
- AC Wall Adapter
- Two Manuals (One for the device, the other one for the software Joyetech My Vapor Record)

First, I want to start off with the software -MVR- basically it’s a software where you can see the device information, create user profiles, change the device settings (which can also be done on the device’s menu.) and of course you can reach the detailed statistics of your vape counts, volts, ohms etc. I tested the software on a PC, it works as it’s supposed to. However I’m a Mac user and the software is not supported on Mac. This might be problem for some people but for me it’s totally alright. First reason is I really think that -puff count- and it’s statistics are too much overrated by the Chinese. I tend to vape like a human fog machine and I have no intention of counting my puffs and recording them to a software. For me, the software has one practical usage and that is updating the firmware of the device whenever new ones are available. If there’s such an update, I’ll plug the device into a PC for a few moments and get on with it.

I have to say that the device looks and feels really good. One thing I’ve noticed right away is that the screen looks great. The menus are fairly easy to master and the left-right navigation button is really nicely designed and easy to use. The main button is nice and clicky. I used to be a cigar smoker that’s why I really like the shape and the length of the device. It reminds me of a Coronas Minor type Cuban cigar and that’s why I love how it feels to the hand. (I’ve checked the sizes it almost has the same sizes with a Coronas Minor.)

And obviously the vaping… So far, I’ve vaped with it for 1 hour and the result is quite satisfying. It vapes great, allows me to find sweet spots of juice/atomizer really easily. One thing I want to mention is, I’m constantly reading that this device is targeted for advanced vapers and that it’s a complicated device. I strongly disagree with this and here’s why. I’m a fairly new vapist and I had troubles when I started using my first VV device. Measuring Ohm’s, Volt Outputs comparing them to safe-vaping charts and finally finding a good battery for these applications was a big hassle for me. My main intention of using a VV device was to enjoy the flavours more, not to get more technical. This where eVic does it’s job perfectly. You put an atomizer in the device, you kick it on and there you go: eVic detects the atomizer right away and tells you the resistance of the atomizer – plus suggesting you a sensible W output to use with it. Right away, you jump forward from the technical side and start enjoying vaping while relatively staying safe and using your consumable parts more efficiently. The temperature feature is also great too, it warns you on any overheating issue. So I think that this product may be easily suggested as the first VV upgrade that an apprentice vapist should buy. The fact that eVic’s box including a manufacturer choice battery is great too -in this aspect. You basically have a battery to start with before you jump in to buying batteries that may not be suitable for your VV’s.

So my initial review’s conclusion is; the device is a really good VV device. It’s not complicated at all and it’s really suitable for a beginner. Of course it has many other features that technical people would look into and make use of. I’ll try to share more details as I experience with it.
Cheers!

. That for me sits in the same league of usefulness as the anabolic whatsit on the Boge Revolution. The rest of the kit though looks pretty good - and thanks for the great review.
