Ok gang, here’s something I missed in the review. It was missed because 1) when I was looking at the start\/stop pause time on the scope, I was at a high enough wattage where the issue didn’t appear, or appeared as a slight ramp which was mentioned in the review, and 2) when using it in wattage mode, I was at a high enough wattage where is was noticeable, but not that bad for me.<\/p>\n

Looks like, when in wattage more the eVic-VT has a 30 watt surge when you first fire it after 1) you take your atty off and put it back on, 2) the device goes to sleep after 3 minutes and wakes back up, 3) you power the device off and turn it back on.<\/p>\n

I read a bunch of comment in the YouTube video that it was burning people’s liquids and wicks. Finally, after discussing it with Edward Wolff (thanks Ed!!) on Facebook tonight, I decided to have another look.<\/p>\n

Ed’s test scenario was a 2.0 Ohm coil set at 6 watts. He said he could “hear” and feel the surge. Sure enough…<\/p>\n

\nThis image shows the surge.\u00a0 Should be firing at around 3.5V (for 6 watts) yet is surges to 8.16V (around 33 watts) and then ramps down to the accurate setting.<\/p>\n

Even set to 1 watt, it does the same thing…<\/p>\n

Multiple button presses don’t help.\u00a0 It needs time to settle…<\/p>\n

\nYou can see here when set for higher wattage it becomes easier to miss…<\/p>\n

It does it for a fair amount of time as well.\u00a0 The full 30+ watt surge lasts around .58 seconds and the total time to go from button press to an accurate setting is around 1.28 seconds…<\/p>\n

I took a look at the .5 ohm, 1 ohm, and 1.5 as well. All peaking around 30 watts…<\/p>\n

Now, if you vape at or above 30 watts, it’s something you’ll never notice.\u00a0 Here is is firing 30 watts after a power cycle against a 1 ohm load.\u00a0 No issue…<\/p>\n

\nThis has to change the overall rating from a “wait” to a thumbs down.\u00a0 Hopefully this is something they can resolve quickly and take care of those who are unhappy with the product due to this issue.<\/p>\n

This will be added to the post review follow-up within the review posting found here.<\/p>\n
