Here's the big rub. In September, they announced a new heater core for the Evolution LV that fixed the biggest problems with the Evolution LV. This heater core was in beta but instead of leaving beta, the whole unit is discontinued and you can no longer buy accessories, except for what appears to be remaining stock.
I don't buy beta products but I was waiting for the HP core to finish it's beta. That never seemed to occur and instead the whole unit was discontinued.
OK, it's clear to me you and I are using two different definitions (and expectations) here. I use the traditional definition of Beta Testing, not it seems the same as yours? The "new" core had
failed Beta Testing long ago. I know, I was part of the test that determined it was going to be too hot (and battery life too short)
for most users. You are mistaken. TV offered for
interested experimenters several 'special use versions',
units you always could have had them make up for you as a custom at nominal cost. You still can, subject to parts availability. Off hand I can't think of another vape maker that will offer this level of support, can you?
I think "fixed the biggest problems with the Evolution LV" is a matter of opinion, and in fact a minority one...and I was there, I tested cores just like it nearly a year ago and reported them 'too hot for general use' IMO, one it seems was shared by the other Beta Testers at the time. This is one of the things real Beta Testing is used for. I still have two Cera LL cores (one with two marks) for just this sort ow 'what power range should we use?' testing. I've given my report (advice really) but honestly don't know what is shipping. Whatever it is it will be a
compromise as well, some will want more, some less.
Seems to me you cannot buy new MF Launch Tubes, boxes without o-rings or snap covers, Omicron V1s or Solos with ceramic bowls. By your logic Magic Flight, Delta Nine and Solo are to be avoided????
I'm sorry your concerns will prevent you from enjoying this exciting new product, at least for now. Being one of the very few to have actually used it, I know you're missing a great opportunity. I hope others think your argument through before following suit. Soon, hundreds of new owners will be adding their opinions and
experiences to this discussion....that may well change a lot of opinions?
For now, it seems, for
ten bucks you can get your Evolution
modified from the Beta tested configuration found to suit the majority of owners best to a custom one that suits you (and arguably a few others) better. Can you name another maker that supports their products in a more customer supportive way? I can't either.
But make no mistake, no real Beta units were offered for sale. What were offered were Beta versions that were partially successful and might be useful to
experienced customers with special wants. HUGE difference.
