Just bought an eVic VTC mini

I just bought this eVic VTC Mini unit, and it's really quality and looks great, although I'm finding it much different than the eGo One that I'm used to! Seems I can use this for direct lung hits, compared to the eGo One that I inhaled as mouth to lung.

If I use mouth to lung method with this unit, I don't get much vapor, and it is harsh on my throat, causing me to cough, or almost cough.

With my eGo One, it's the exact opposite; if I lung inhale it's harsh, if I mouth to lung inhale, it's smooth

With the eGo One, I'm using a 1.0Ω standard atomizer, with the VTC I'm using a Ti 0.4Ω atomizer @60W and about 510˚F / 265˚C

My juices are 6mg Nic, I use 50/50 PG/VG Vapormist juices, a bit higher with Vanilla custard

I've been vaping for about a year and have achieved my goal to be tobacco smoke free, but have not been into anything other than 'generic' off-the-shelf type of e-cigarettes.

If anyone has any recommendations on how to get a nice smooth mouth to lung with the VCT, I'm all ears!

 

For mouth to lung you're going to want a tank that uses a coil head that is over 1 ohm. Something like a kanger aerotank or an aspire nautilus or nautilus mini. If you don't mind trying your hand at building coils and wicking you'll enjoy something like a Kayfun, Taifun or maybe even a genesis atomizer. I'll see if I can pull up some of these to look at.

Wait.... scratch that. I didn't realize you were running temp control. What may help is turning down the wattage so that is has a much slower ramp up allowing for the proper vapor consistency for your mouth hit. Try turning the temp down as well but try them one at a time so that you get a feel for what is doing what. Of course you'll want to limit the airflow with the air flow ring so that it gives you the draw you like as well.

 

Been playing with it a bit, but not scientifically... I do have some standard ego One 1.0Ω heads... maybe I could try one of these, but not sure the difference between bypass and VW settings.

I'm starting to enjoy the lung hits, but not sure if that's a good thing or not :-S

 

LOL! Don't enjoy them too much or you'll really start feeling the nicotine You can run the entire ego one tank on your VTC in VW mode. I don't know if the coils will trade between tanks. It's highly likely they wont. I'm afraid I don't know enough about TC to tell you the optimal setup for MTL hits. I will certainly be watching this thread though as that is my main goal and my TC mods will be knocking at my door sometime in the next few days.

**Updated**

Bypass means you are just running straight off of battery power.... whatever your current voltage is at 4.2v -3.*v VW I would set at around 12-15w for mouth to lung and fiddle around from there.

**Updated**

It turns out the VTC Mini comes with an ego one atomizer so yes the coils will trade across. Boy I'm just full of info you already know probably. Maybe someone else can chime in and give you hints on the temperature aspect to help get you rolling in the right direction. I'll be standing over there in the corner with my dunce hat on

**Updated**

OK.... now I've been studying a bit. Give this a shot..... 430f and 15w. See if that doesn't get you close to the MTL hit you're looking for.

 

I'm interested in this as I also mtl with an Ego One, and will get an Evic Mini shortly.

Not sure I have much to offer, but if it were me I would perhaps put the Ego One tank on the Evic Mini and try it in VW mode at 14w. That should vape about the same as the Ego One. Then put a 1 ohm coil in the Mega tank and see what (if anything) changes. I think the internal diameter of the Mega drip tip is larger than the Ego One drip tip - not sure if swapping those tips over would make a difference or not.

 

My eVic Mini in in the post now since 2 weeks, cant wait

 

Thanks for the info guys... I put my Ego One head on this and it works exactly the same as the ego one does at 14-15W and MTL is the same! Kicking it up to about 17W is not so bad either, 20 is a bit 'hot' for me.

So, I suppose I could put my 1.0Ω ego One heads in the large tank and be good for the whole day on this, or use my smaller tank if I want it a bit more stealthy, which is why I like the Ego One so much.

I never smoked cigarettes or these MTL before, and can't do it with the Ego One either, so the sub-ohm heads make a huge difference in the experience...

I'm sure this is really basic stuff for the experienced people here, I just never thought there'd be so many different options when quitting smoking!

 

The 1.10 firmware package available for download now apparently has version 1.20 included. Brings power up from 60 W to 75W. Advise waiting some days for more folks to test it out and provide feedback. So far, from posts online it seems to be working well. I'll give it a try sometime soon if there continues to be no widespread reports of problems.

 

Here is my 2 cents worth and it's free. I'm looking at your temp and wattage settings for Ti heads. You may want to bring the temp way down, set the wattage lower, and close the air hole some. 510 degrees F and 60 watts is going to get hot and do it fast. The denser vapor is causing the mouth to lung hits to be too "strong". Maybe start at 350 degrees F and 20 watts. You may find a sweet spot approaching 400 degrees F and 30 watts. In temp mode, work on finding the right temp first. Then you can adjust the wattage to control the ramp up time. But you will need to fine tune them together. And of course the air flow will change everything as well. It's not the push a button and vape what you got world anymore. This is a good thing and a bad thing. You can find the vape that is just right for you but sometimes it takes a lot of tinkering. A lot people are using a different setting for different flavors. You are in full control, whether you like it or not.

 

Like your recommendation about finding the preferred temp as a first step, then power and fine tuning.

For my tastes, I find anything less than 450 F to be too cool and sometimes do bring some combos of juices and attys up to 500 or so and no real problems with hot temps. Do have some attys get hot at 500 but not alarmingly or uncomfortably so. Then again, I have never used the atty nor the TC coils that come in the VCT Mini kit which may behave different than most others.

 

The two eGo One Mega Atomizer Heads
optimized for mouth to lung inhales:

1.0Ω CL head (Standard mode)
CL-Ni 0.25Ω (TC mode)

 

I have got to say that it is good to see a company tailoring a vape for MTL. The main trend in the industry seems to be to be to huge vapor and lung hits and yes that is very popular but there are so many vapers out there that still like to use MTL. Just nice to see some innovation in that area as well.

 

Amen LT! Seems we have been getting the short end of the stick lately. I'm just hoping the fad passes quickly once folks start to realize how pricey it is to blow clouds all day. I'm also hoping it become easier to find good higher nic juice here for MTL as well.

 

Updated mine this morning. Went through my usual "computer illiterate" process of actually managing to wipe all firmware from my mod before eventually, through brute force and stupidity, getting v1.20 installed. Running it at 70w atm which is a little warm for me on the Crown.

**Updated**

Playing around with the menu on v1.20 it appears to offer 75w on both Ni and Ti wire. As I've put 100ml of juice through the SS 0.5Ω coil I think I'll change it to Ni later and see how it goes.
