THE EVIC SUPREMELY LONG REVIEW & CONTEST!
Sorry about this one folks. It’s very long and a two parter, but you know me. I want to give you all the information on a device so you can make an informed decision as to where you spend your money.
In part 1, we begin the review on the eVic Supreme. This video will include the unboxing, the size comparison, the product tour, my biggest issues with the device, the menu, & the software.
In part 2, We talk tech. Settings, output signals, accuracy, experiences with using the device, thumbs up/down, and have the contest where you can win an eVic Supreme.

The Post Review Follow-Up:
- 5/31/14 – The “flakiness” identified in the software was caused by my use of this Windows setting which the eVic software does not play nice with. Joyetech has been notified and have already provided a fix. Thanks to pupdrummer for identifying this.
- 5/31/14 – Another thumbs down with the black one that I did not experience with the silver one. When scrolling through the menu, the selection does not always advance when the wheel hits the detent. At times, you have to go past the detent for the menu to go to the next selection. Quite annoying.
- 5/31/14 – I noticed the button on the black version is black. So not only does it feel like the USB cover, it looks like it too! Will the real fire button please stand up! 🙂

The Photos:
THE ZNA LITE FIRST LOOK
Is it the ZNA Launch Day Edition? Nope, it’s the new ZNA Lite coming soon from Zen at the House Of Hybrids.
It still utilizes the ZNA-30, but now has a lighter aluminum body.
I have some photos for you to check out below, including a weight comparison to the original ZNA. The tube used in the weight comparison is the standard stainless tube. A lighter aluminum tube will be available separately.
It’s also shown with the “Rose Gold Zenkote” tube and 510 connections, also available separately.
You think I can get him to “Rose Gold Zenkote” my Kayfun? That would be hawt!! 🙂
More information and the release date coming soon…
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) RECEIVES A LETTER…
Just one of the interesting outtakes from this letter…
If the WHO gets its way and extinguishes e-cigarettes, it will not only have passed up what is clearly one of the biggest public health innovations of the last three decades that could potentially save millions of lives, but it will have abrogated its own responsibility under its own charter to empower consumers to take control of their own health, something which they are already doing themselves in their millions.
Read the entire letter HERE.
A sincere THANK YOU to all involved! Please feel free to share!
KANGER IS AT IT AGAIN…
Kanger is at is again, this time with the AeroTank Giant designed for your larger 26650 mods. Here is it sitting on top a Bam…
Solid construction, airflow controller, utilizes the new head design, and a solid vape. A closer look is coming soon.

It’s Political: Impromptu Roundtable @ Delaware Vapor in Newark, DE
From Dimitris (thanks for allowing me to post!):
Dimitris, Phil Busardo, Andre “The Knockoff Greek”, Michael “Field of Vapor”, and Andrew from Delaware Vapor discuss the current happenings in vaping politics, including NJOY’s foray into flavors, the FDA regulation, and how vendors and vapers can support advocacy groups to prevent overbearing regulation on e-cigs and vaping gear.

From Pete
Phil,
I just wanted to drop you a note as I think today, after 30 years of stinkies, I made the most significant vapor decision, and build my first coil for a Kayfun and wanted to let you know that your videos not only inspired me, but educated and prepared me well for my first ever RBA and coil build.
To my surprise, my first build was a success. While it wasn’t pretty (but a solid 1.4 ohm coil), because of what I had learned from you, I was fully armed with an ohm meter, a safe battery, some 28 gauge kanthal, and organic cotton. Once done – and after double/triple checking ohms and avoiding shorts, while guaranteeing good airflow – I put it in the kayfun with Boba’s Bounty ( I’m still having a hard time finding e liquids I like – Boba’s is one of the very few I like). You should have seen my wife’s face, after I yelled out “thank you PBusardo” after my first drag 😉
I can’t even explain right now how much of a game changer this is for me. The taste is so intense and delicious that I don’t want to touch an analog anymore (which – at least until today – I had still done occasionally).
So, here’s to you Phil – from another 45 year old – and now “1 day old modder” 😉
Cheers,
Pete
30(+) AMP BATTERY TESTING
I ran some tests on a few of the newer 30(+) amp rated batteries:
- The Sony VTC4 2100 mAh
- The Sony VTC5 2600 mAh (not on their site yet)
- The Efest 30A 2100 mAh
- The Efest 35A 2500 mAh
Big shout out to JJ Vapes for supplying the batteries for this testing.
These cells were all discharged and charged again several times (the same amount of times) prior to testing.
Note that I have some of the new Orbtronic SX30 cells on order to add to this test.
I ran two tests. The first is a discharge test. None of the batteries were able a constant 30 Amp draw without dropping below the cutoff voltage for the test. So the test was adjusted to 20 Amps. (Yes, I was surprised by the Efest 35A’s performance here as well).
You can click on the graphs below to see them larger.
The second test is a constant load of .2 ohms.
Take from these tests what you will as performance of these cells appears to be very similar. However, to the (my) untrained eye, it appears that that VTC5 did better on the discharge test and the Efest 35A did slightly better on the .2ohm load test. For my money, I’d go with the Sony VTC5 cell.
If anyone has more insight on the results of these graphs, please contact me.
Note that I can’t speak to the safety of one cell over the other.
