Just saw this on my Facebook page.  Thanks for the heads up Bubba.  So much for that Buh-In Award!  🙁

Here’s the information…

eVic Recall

Mine is 212030571 and does not appear to be affected.

From OvaleUSA:

The recall does not effect any eVics sold by Ovale USA or our distributes.

I took some quick measurements with the eVic and the 1.1 firmware release.  Here is what I came up with:

• 1.6 Ohm, Max setting of 11 Watts = 2.622 Amps (should = 4.195V, delivers ≈ 4.05V
• 2.1 Ohm, Max setting of 11 Watts = 2.289 Amps (should = 4.806V, delivers ≈ 4.7V)
• 3.0 Ohm, Max setting of 8.3 Watts = 1.663 Amps (should = 4.99V, delivers ≈ 4.8V)

Some confusion here for sure.

It’s maximum wattage setting for the 1.6 Ohm and the 2.1 Ohm was 11 watts.  This gives the device a maximum output of 2.622 Amps, YET, the maximum wattage setting for the 3.0Ohm was 8.3 watts which is only 1.663 Amps.

Since it didn’t drive the 1.6 Ohm to 4.2V as it should have (only got to around 4.05V), it’s almost acting as if this device has an amp limit of around 2.5 Amps (as seen with the 1.6 Ohm) AND a voltage limit of 5V (as seen with the 3.0 Ohm).

So it looks like a limit of 2. 5 Amps or 5 Volts… whichever comes first!  🙂

Hmmm…

These are the things I used most in 2012…

• Most used atty – The HH.357 Long Barrel 2.0 Ohm
• Most used carto tank – The Prive
• Most used carto – The Boge LR
• Most used CE style tank – The Vivi Nova
• Most used rebuildable – The Ody
• Most used device – The ProVari
• Most used juice – It’s a tie! RAWR’s Green Peach Tea & Flavorz by Joe Heaven’s Nectar
• Most used guy for comedic purposes – Dimitris The Vaping Greek

Thanks so much for all the entries, it was quite a challenge juggling all of them yesterday (that’s the last time I do that! 🙂 )!

Congratulation and MERRY CHRISTMAS to Valeria Lara, the winner of the contest!

I’ve been at this game for too long!

Most people will look at this and see a beautiful Christmas decoration!
I look at it and see a dry coil that needs some e-liquid IMMEDIATELY! 🙂

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

So far… so good… never mind. 😉

There is a study of electronic cigarette use going on at Penn State University. If you have a moment, share your information!
