Does it combust easily on a 12 o'clock position?

Is it just dirty af? Has it ever been cleaned? Could be you just have a bunch of concentrate in the tube...
Honestly don't even want to use this unit.
Not dirty, I keep it very clean. Dry herb only.
Nope, warranty is done. Purchased this unit in 2015.
Just purchased a replacement unit instead.

The test that was recommended to you was to see if the glass tube in the middle...the bamboo...is broken/cracked.
Smoke and bad smell say electronics to me and there is indeed an electronics board in there. Not overheating the electronics is one reason they have a shut off timer and the reason they don't recommend leaving the unit upside down on a rig.
I suspect you fried it, my friend.
Thanks, that sounds very likely. Not sure what i can do with this unit, has anyone replaced the electronic board?

Best advice I've seen is contact VapeXhale with your serial number and talk to them about the issues. The EVO has underwent many running changes over the years and some earlier models are not serviceable. In that case, EVO typically offers a new one discounted. If serviceable then they provide repair estimate costs. Much of this on their website too (repair fee costs by component).
I see behind the knob is a castle nut. A quick tug of the knob will pull it off the switch and then get in and loosen the castle nut. From there you should be able to align the switch (shoot for the corner if you don't have any better measurement) and re-tighten the castle nut.

it's actually really hard to move the switch... the nut does nothing really lol

The nut appears to hold the switch to the body. Probably need to get inside the shell if a loose castle nut doesn't make the switch position adjustable. One could reach out to VapeXhale customer service too for this issue...

People have tested power draw on the heater which helps show the EVO heater performance well 
(it's in this owner thread). The EVO has most powerful rated vape heater I've seen at 250 watts... but the max measured power draw reported has been 100 watts (it's throttled back). That's the rated power (100 watts) of a FlowerPot RDK300a/b PID in recommended configuration fyi.
In draws (even the biggest), the max measured power draw has been in the 30 watt range, indicating the heater can keep up impressively adequately for all draws. The temp sensor seems fairly responsive as well. Early EVO literature put out to the public touted that (here in this thread too), even in back to back large group use, they had not been able to lower the temp enough that the heater could not keep up ... triggering the EVO temp sensor (red indicates the EVO is not at the set temp, heating or cooling). The EVO heater is quite large on inspection, with a big ceramic core and reflective metal too. I don't doubt the bamboo venturi effect aids the performance as well. The EVO is a monster efficient/strong extractor in my experience.

I agree with it's a powerful vape, but I personally enjoy being consistent with my temps; I want to stay at 365, no hotter.People have tested power draw on the heater which helps show the EVO heater performance well

My concern is the the Evo gets hotter as the session goes, and the user doesn't have much control.
Found it interesting that no one commented on this - My theory is that it can't maintain but is in a constant state of fluctuation, meaning precision is not one of it's strong suits.
Thoughts?

Why do you say this? Does your later ABV come out darker on later ELBs?
This is completely antithetical to my experience. The EVO performs extremely consistently for me.
Be sure to wait for a full 5+ minute heatsoak before you start your first ELB. Perhaps you aren't waiting long enough?
Otherwise your EVO may be damaged.
I understand it may not be important to most, but I do care about the precision of temperature that I'm extracting at

Well, that's going to be difficult with the Cloud Evo. I tried using a IR gun, but never can get accurate reads. The Cloud Evo sells a heat shied with Fahrenheit degrees on it, which only gives you three basic temps.
I agree the heat shield isn't a good indicator.
how would one test this accurately?

You'd need temp sensors inside the herb chamber to see the temp of the air being pulled through the herb.
