I've got my INTL EVO this week and have been using it for 3 days.
And I already like it more than my old Cloud (even with all the glitches):
Improvements:
+Removable power cord
Replaceabity and portability! Hitting it cordless is also awesome.
It feels like magic when you pull such Clouds without a power cord.
+Enclosure
Not looking like a prototype anymore, it's functional, the bottom is cool, doesn't have sharp edges and the paint will certainly not fuck up as there is none.
This enclosure is a win-win!
+Heat up time
It is noticeable I can feel the heat on output much faster. But I think it still needs almost the same time for the heat soak as the old Cloud to really give the most impressive dragon clouds.
+LEDs
When working properly I love their function. The PWM-like strobe when coming to temp looks awesome.
They really act like a real senzor-dial comparison output giving me green everytime the dial matches the temperature.
I can always check where the temp really is by moving the dial to see where it turns green.
+Slow pull performance
The EVO gives better clouds then my Cloud when pulling slowly. I had to pull at least moderately strong to get good vapor for the Cloud.
The EVO Gives the same vapor at even broader range of pull speeds. Especially slow pulls got improved. And this is how most people hit it from my observation.
Hard hit performance remained the same imo.
If my vape didn't have all the glitches like the infamous red light, blinking red light etc, it would be the ultimate perfection (for me).
Glitches, errors, imperfections, etc:
-Red light forever
It seems to me like everytime the LED is red it has a chance of not turning green. It never went to red from green without a reason.
When the red LED is on forever, it still heats up properly and a restart shows me, the unit actually was on temp all the time.
Just the green doesn't show anymore when the temp matches the dial unless restart.
This a simple test I do to check if it got in this red light forverer glitch:
When the unit is hot and I move the dial all the way between min and max and there is no green light at any point I can be sure it needs a restart.
-Green light forever
This happened only once to me. A green light that doesn't turn red even when I move the dial. Something like a green version of the issue above.
A restart solved this as well and I don't know what caused this.
I restarted it too fast to know what the heater was actually doing. So I can't cofirm for now if it still heats properly in this glitch as in my red light.
-Blinking red light error pattern (3x)
Happened twice to me. Both time when I restarted fast from the red light forever glitch. I think the heater is not engaged when in the error pattern.
A restart solves this as well.
-Light not coming on at all.
Also happened twice and also happened when I restarted the unit fast from the red light.
Maybe the unit doesn't like too fast restarts?
-LEDs blind to dials over 3hrs.
I still don't know if its just the LEDs, but when the LED is green at 3 hrs it will remain green even when I move it to max and when it's green on max it needs to get under 3hrs to get red.
So it could mean either:
1) The dial is blind from 3 to max (Probably not, I think the max temp tastes hotter for me)
2) The dial is not linear at the high end while LED sensing still is. So the linear difference between these points is not that big to make the LED color change
3) Just LEDs not responding at that range. When the unit is capable of heating properly even in LED glitches this could also be believable.
-Shut off timer
A lot of people say their INTL EVO don't have a hut-off timer at all.
I tried to test this and let the unit run and I played a computer game.
After few hours I found the unit shut off. But no shut-off timer LED pattern (3 green 2 reds?)
The light just went off like Cloud+ units.
So maybe there is a shutoff timer, but it doesn't work like in 120V EVOs. Longer timer and no LED pattern.
-Missing temp knob
Yeah, this is not a glitch. But the EVO can't be perfect without it.
The knob from my old Cloud that i put on it doesn't look as good and is not as well readable because of missing hour marks on it.
EDIT:
-The heater going off and the unit not noticing it until restart.
Wow, this happened the first session, but I forgot about it. Now it happened again.
The unit stays green, but feels cold, so I restart and its red and heats up again.
Can this be the shut off timer shutting off only the heater but not LEDs? Or is it a more serious fault?
Why is the LED still green when the unit is clearly not on temp?
