Discontinued ThermoVape Evolution

[darkrom]

Let let me know if either one of you end up letting go of your EVO, I don't currently have a portable flower vape, and would be interested.

TIA

Well I would but its just the evo and the interface adapter, not the battery sleeve and lower half. I still need it for the T1.

While I understand your frustration, and support your 'right' to use your own equipment as you wish (provided of course you're willing to take responsibility for your actions, which I know you are), it's just not possible.....as it would not be safe.

Whatever you do, never, ever put maybe two dimes in the outer tube before the inner tube. That is if you're foolish enough to ever pull out the battery tube and drop them in and screw it all back together you'll notice it comes on as you screw the adapter interface (the bit with the switch) back in. All the play goes out of the slide and it comes on without your pushing up on anything. And it stays on until you realize the error of your ways, repent, and unscrew the adapter interface again. You might think you just invented as somewhat hot after use rotary switch, but you'd be wrong.....you didn't actually invent anything.

You might even find you can slip the coins out (and maybe in?) through the window so you don't have to pull the inner tube all the way out, just lift it up some....

If you burn the joint down I don't know you......

You kill me OF. Not literally of course since I would never be foolish enough to try such an ingeniously simple yet obviously incredibly fool-hearty modification like that. If I were insane enough to actually try it, I'd say "Damn, that works like a charm. Thanks for the tip, man!" but I won't since that would suggest that I had gone ahead and done that which no one should ever do. So instead I'll just say, since the roof appears to be on fire, that you should not worry. I hear we actually don't need water as we are just going to let the mother fucker burn

Somehow I knew I could trust you to behave responsibly. We'd best keep the idea between us, I'm not so sure about some of these other guys......

I don't have an insulated interface, which might be mighty handy if things got hot 'cuz a guy got distracted somehow?

the thumb pad is getting really hot. I have to constantly switch thumbs, and even then they feel raw by the time I am finished with the bowl. Either that, or I just have to stop and let it cool down and then try again.

That all makes this vape not very user-friendly for me. I wish there was a way to just turn the heating unit on without having to hold it with my thumb. That would be a lot more convenient, a lot more productive, and a lot less painful. Any advice from users out there?

Superglue a piece of sandpaper to the bottom half of the switch, it's ugly but the way it should be sold imo...

ooohhhh.

This is really inspired.

Nice addition. Do you find that the sandpaper helps with the heat at all, or just for friction/grip?

I was considering some thin silicon self-adhesive strips, if I need a similar mod. I'm waiting for my SV Evo and Dart, so we'll see how it goes.

The wait is killing me, but it's given me time to read up on these threads.

 

[JoeKickass]

Oh definitely, I had to press fairly hard on the bare metal (conducts heat) but you can be much lighter on the sandpaper and it does insulate fairly well too if you get a nice quality paper

A persei with hammer head works great for the evo. It clicks on and stays on for two minutes.

I am very happy to see this, as I just got the Persei, and have the Hammer top on the way.

 

[TheDudeNextDoor]

Holy shit, OF, you have completely changed the way I am able to use this vape. It's so funny because I had tried a couple different mods that didn't work involving velcro straps and a little dowel. I kept staring at the thing going "There is a simple solution here somewhere" but I could never figure it out. And then you come out with the dimes. Brilliant! It's exactly the simple solution I was looking for and works to perfection. Rotary switch. Brilliant. Thanks again man.

Naw, never happened. Musta been two other guys? I understand your confusion, simple and I are often linked together....

Enjoy, Bro, IMO you've earned it. If I pass that other guy, I'll relay the thanks.....I'm quite sure you're welcome.

Just stay safe, the guys with the spotted dog and big red truck that come to put out the house will no doubt mention it to the Blue Meanies who will probably take your stash....beats buying it I guess?

Then again, I tried it before posting, the TV took it in stride. Still not as safe as the 'auto off when you pass out' feature we had before.

good to know- thanks.

Does anyone have feedback on how hot the battery switch and handle gets when comparing the SV Evo and the LV Evo on an Ultra (given the same number of comparable hits?) I assume the mouthpiece is about equally as warm assuming similar use. TIA

 

[TheDudeNextDoor]

You're right OF. My bad. I confuse you two all the time. Must be the avatars.

I use this vape as my on-the-go vape for concerts and the like, so it will either be in my hand or in my pocket while heating. Can't imagine I'll forget about it in either of those two places. lol. Now if you were using this as a home vape, yeah, that could be bad...

Question for the ones who know,

Got a Persei, want a flower cart. Evo is the answer. But, was wondering what tempature each cart LV vs 6v hits? dont believe there is a HV, like 7.4v. and what thread are the Evo carts. And for those users of Persei that know, should these carts be used with the hammer top or the standard top.

i have a persei, but no evo, suggest hammer top for safety

 

[jambandphan03]

I am a new Persei owner, but have been using both 6v and 3.7v Evo's for a while now. What I understand is, the Persei regular top ~can~ handle the load, but I would use it carefully as the heat may become an issue for the electronics. I don't exactly know for sure, but it's my understanding that the hammer top was designed to run a 20w heat rod. So there are 2 reasons to have the hammer top. It was made to handle more heat/current, and it has the press on/off button that will let you heat the Evo with out having to hold the button on, but will not run past 2 mins so you won't accidentally leave it on too long. I don't remember all the numbers involved in the specs for what the hammer top can handle of the top of my head. Anyone else have better info?

Both reach the same bowl temperatures (about 400), SV gets there a little faster, LV has a little longer battery life. Core temperatures are much hotter, of course, but also basically the same. No 7.4 Volt versions, it's been fatal to those who tried. Either model is electrically up to the task (being basically the same except the action of the switch?).

Interesting take, Bob. I'd have gone the other way on safety (deadman's switch and all) but with Hammer for being easier for some guys to keep track of?

What's your thinking here?

TIA

[Porquiplane]

Then the questions on the 6v an 3.7v. Obviously the 6v SHOULD heat more and faster, but with the Persei top does it drop so much that the watts are near equal? from what OF said its about 12 watts to the LV evo with the standard top (where as its 14.5 with the TV unit but still supposed to be around 18-20 watts). Looking for THICKER vape clouds, without blowing the persei unit. Single top only.

Gotcha on the temps. So they have a standard temp, just variations of heating speeds.

From what someone had said the hammer top is to support higher current?? So no 5 amp limit on the button? No idea. never had experience with the hammer or its electronics. If the standard top works and doesnt pose a safety or too severe a voltage drop issue, then that works fine.

EEE

 

[JoeKickass]

and the DART is a hit as you load and done? not a load once and use for a couple days like the Rev carts?

Revolution and Dart have the same ceramic heater, Dart is for oils and waxes Rev is for bubble. But both would have trouble holding enough for a whole day...

"load once and use for a couple days" the Omicron carts is what I think you meant for that purpose...

 

[Porquiplane]

gotcha. was looking for an easier load cart for very viscous oils.

 

[lostcoastvape]

Dart is for oils and waxes Rev is for bubble.

What makes the Rev better for bubble than the Dart? The ability to get to the ceramic heater to agitate the bubble, if needed?

 

[JoeKickass]

Yeah the dart is certainly easier to load, the dabber on the dart is tricky when it's hot but if you dab when it's cool it works great! (Or you can just paperclip/needle dab it)

What makes the Rev better for bubble than the Dart? The ability to get to the ceramic heater to agitate the bubble, if needed?

Pretty much, you can throw a thin layer of bubble in the dart no problemo it's just harder to stir.

 

[VAPORIZER22]

With the window you can twist it open to stir the bubble with a tooth pick. This is needed to make sure the bubble that is not directly in contact with the ceramic gets stirred so it can also get thoroughly vaped. The Rev with window also works with wax and oils.

Ok, so definitely the omicron carts are lengthier use carts. Like to fill .3-.7 and go for days. If the DART or Rev cart cant do that, then they arent a fit for the function that is sought for the kind of use it would get here.

So the Evo it is. Unless watching these video on TV show the Rev cart can be loaded with a bit and go for a while.
