I am really glad to see those beautiful creations out in the wild! I am sure they are going to make their owners very happy! After all, Tubo Evic, as an official product, is right now probably the most advanced portable convection vaporizer. No other, except the Project, has temp regulation like the Tubo so far! So far the only choices were vapes with a few temp presets or totally unregulated, only desktops had good temp control. Temperature regulation in mod boxes was bound to bring new players in the game and Tubo is a great first contender! Without having even tried it , but with my experience with Project, I would recommend Tubo to anyone interested and the first hand-ons seem to agree with me... And the colours and whips? Mouthwatering at least! :drool::nod::tup:
Bravo to @funkyjunky for his endeavour! I wish you the best of luck buddy!!! :clap:

Sorry mate but I got to disagree. First, temp control via resistance change check it to me less accurate than using a dedicated sensor. The measurements on the evic VTC mini are pretty wild to start with...

Then we have several full convection vapes with proper regulation already: Firefly 2, ESV 2, Boundless CFV, FlowerMate SwiftPro. The Mighty and Crafty are also mostly convection and properly temp-regulated. I'm surely missing a lot of others...

I seem to have a bad case of VAS
Not to take this thread any more off topic, but another two that could be considered full convection with temperature regulation would be the firewood 4 and venus apollo. Not sure to what degree they are regulated, but they do allow the user to change the "degree" used.

@funkyjunky has been so accommodating in the ordering process. I can't wait for mine to arrive! Great to see this thread picking up steam. I ended up with the oxide black and magenta evic that was posted up earlier.

Back on topic, that black and magenta one looks amazing. One of my favorite color combinations too. If I weren't getting a purple one, something along those lines with a black casing and a bright colored evic would have been my choice. If you get yours before mine, definitely post more pictures please!

I should have remembered CFV and SwiftPro... Maybe I skipped them unconsciously cause I think they are not there yet performance-wise, too low temp and no replaceable batteries but about the others I was spot on.
Crafty/mighty are not full convection (I mentioned convection portables, maybe I should add "full"?), FF2 only has presets, ESV2 is too dependant on draw and people are all over the place with settings and I don't think there are others right now... I wish I am wrong! :p

And really? Evics temps are not close to accurate? My Smoant seems to be spot on with the Eraser, Eleaf Pico as well... I had read that Tubo was somewhat calibrated too. Tubo also looks like it could keep temps better, no matter the draw, cause of the stronger heater in place...

I think they have presets as well... And not too off-topic, is it?

Not to go further off topic, but Grasshopper buddy (though I don't know how accurate the temp control is since you can get a lot at the low settings... Not sure how accurate most are actually, even desktops can be all over the place, I hear Herbie is exact though) and also the new Vivant Alternate has it and seems to be more convection than Crafty/Mighty too

But yeah the fact this is a wood and glass handcrafted homemade vape with some sort of electronic power control based on voltage with temp read outs too (if not universal, they should still translate to full temp control on use for the unit as you get to know it, like the GH and others). I am also one who had the looks grow on me the more I saw it, the performance reports, colors and new accessories clinched it for me, as I was already really interested in supporting @funkyjunky here!

Oh i forgot, are the heater coils steel too?

grasshopper has presets..hes trying to say temp control to the actual degree..

Hi vapeporn people! :D


Received mine today - can't go for a test ride before the weekend so I had to snap some pics at least.

Here we go



Circle of love, feat. 18mm amber stem (my Milaana go to stem)

Nuttin. Just hangin around the corner. Showing some grain... Isn't that cool? Strong color but not plasticky looking... Keeps the nature of the wood.

Kombobox with a sleeved spare 18650, the pick (nice and handy!), stunning whip and that lovely main unit equipped with the bent stem.

@funkyjunky did a helluva job. Thanks again mate. My pics are not that cool as the one you shot some pages back... But at least this will keep me sane until weekeeeend. ;)


Hope to see some pics and action from fellow tubos soon as well!!


Have a great day everyone !
:peace:

Yeah so aside from Herbie I don't really know of any vape that is truly precise temp control? But I digress, now enough of that here! Back to Tubo, like @vapen00b's new stunner, excited for you to take it for a test drive soon bud :tup:

My contention remains that temp precision is not even necessary for targeted extractions and what I love, temp stepping sessions. Thanks @stickstones, you are giving me the confidence that this one is just like the more manual vapes I prefer, only with its own form of "precision" and a big part of why I pulled the trigger!

This is beautiful. Is the color you chose orange or gold? I really like how the colors of the whip match.
Waiting impatiently for my invoice.

lol what?! i just liked 20ish new messages!

@vapen00b so glad, that it finally landed! stunning pics! you make it look way cool! that brown stem looks great for it. please report about other stems you might be able to try on the tubo :)




i also need to share a very recent story!
@stickstones contacted me 2 days ago, saying he ran into a problem. i freaked a bit!
when he was going a bit harder on his tubo, the display kept telling weak battery, ending in a low battery message mid draw, even tho his several batteries were charged full.
we were guessing and checking a few things. at one point we even suspected heater degradation, a f-ing worst case scenario:argh:.
i sent some instructions on reflashing the firmware, but since it resets all values we ended up skyping to try to get the first tubo in the wild back on track.
long story short: its working again! i am very releaved!

from a video he made of the issue, i suspect the resistance got altered somehow and caused the mod thinking it cant reach temperature. so it tried to push everything it got but ended up going too heavy on the battery.
looking back, adjusting said resistance should have done the trick as well. i do stand by my heater, but my oldest prototype (that gets abused very hard and survived plenty of stress tests) is only 5 months old so i really cant say much about long term reliabilty.

anyways i am working on a little informative site for exactly such information.
so glad all worked out!

BTW: regarding warranty: i am no asshole, but at this price i cant go replacing units easily, if anything should ever happen, you will have to argue hard with me :)
officially the evic is only warrantied for 90days by joyetech. i am thinking about including an outspoken/written warranty for everything done by me, but this will reflect directly on the price!


To the degree temp control and the aesthetic is what sold me on it. Cannot resist.
to be fair: i send it out with 5degC/10degF temperature increase. anyone can go to 'menu>interface' and set 1C5F to on, to have 1degC and 5degF steps.
the reason i chose not to have it preset like this is that you can change temps a lot faster in say 5degC steps instead of clicking the button a lot.
and since we are being fair. the temps are often not spot on the set temp, you will see over and undershooting while drawing of up to 5degrees.

Oh i forgot, are the heater coils steel too?
Hm.
What are those heating coils made of, I heard they were SS Clapton wire coils... ?
Curious.
yes, they are three parallel coils of twisted 316L stainless steel.

Sorry mate but I got to disagree. First, temp control via resistance change check it to me less accurate than using a dedicated sensor. The measurements on the evic VTC mini are pretty wild to start with...
i have to kind of disagree here. i have some thermocouples here and they do work but are slow in temperature measurement and cant be read to many times per second. maybe with thermistors the closed loop would work better, but then we go again, where do you place the sensor? still you have a rather big delay in feedback compared to the here in place system.
by calculating temps from resistance (which can be measured very accurately by the device imo, 0.001ohms, given connections are tight etc) the coils stay at the same temps regardless of draw speed. the coil is both, sensor and heating element!
there is still some variable on the way to the herb and in the herb. but like this you can be sure that the temps will be a tiny bit lower a little away from the coil. in a way i find this control superior to a bigger closed loop system with proper temperature sensor, mainly because of delay.

I just ordered my second unit... and that will not be the last one. I feel like this is the vaporizer to gift to someone if you want them to actually quit combustion. It's so great. I had to post again to make sure everyone understands. I have several great vaporizers. But NONE hold on to flavor this long. I don't even know the reason it outlast the others.
It's taste Taste better and the flavor last longer than even my MiniVap hands down. If your skeptical... don't be. Buy it while you can and then buy another one.

Hi Mags!:wave:

Yep, it's "azo orange"- not to confuse with "annoying orange" ;)


The sun yellow and green looks pretty nice too IMO. That combined with a black or white evic gotta look sick. :o


@stickstones and @BuzzDanklin Thanks for the vid. Indeed, I can't think of seeing you coughing like that! :D Must have been a great hit:nod::clap:

To be fair, I think Buzz is a lower temp guy than myself, and I had that thing cranked to 230 or 235. But it was all flower! Anyone spot the Herborizer in the background?

Thanks for the skype last night, @funkyjunky ...it was great learning from you and seeing all you are doing! It's been a long time since I felt a desperate need for a specific vape to work. I think the last time I felt like that was when I broke my shorty stem on my Milaana, and before that I can't remember at all...maybe when my OG Cloud died?

Hey folks, this guy has some knowledge and some really cool test equipment that made me jealous! He's not just winging it from his garage like some might think.

:D Yah, yah.. I know.. :uhh::mental:

But I just had my first semi-session wiht this dude! :D About 4-5 hits in, 15-18s each, attached to my D020... up to 215/220C - RBT basket screen filled (Not even half way) with some Nirvana haze I ... good times!!
Load not spent yet - tbh, there's plenty more to hover thru. no stirring until now - and not needed.. see pics:

wooohooooooo
:tup::clap::nod::rockon::bowdown::love:


Needless to say, I'm pretty smashed right now. Happy for everyone that has taken the plunge - you will be rewarded! :)
