The shutoff timer is actually 1 hour I believe unless they changed it on the newer models but the flashing red and green lights are indicating that the heater has been shut off. I have accidentally left it overnight as well and it was fine!
No, it auto shut down...that's the red/green alternating light indication.
Mine does the samething!
Dude! OMG that happened!
I hope, hope, hope that VHL would fix your EVO for only the price of the bamboo and S&H to make it worth your while. Maybe in the $75 range? They should be honered to repair your white EVO. Just clean up the crime scene first. Yikes! Today is the last day of the EVO sale as well. IF you can pull the trigger for a new one. Otherwise send them a message and maybe get a quote. Hope we all can get you back in the saddle.
Seibo did right by me on my Fanatic repair maybe a year ago as well. Also they at first had no idea in support but they took care of me without any issues. Also kept my Fanatic housing (although had to specifically request)The Fanatic warranty is the same as the standard warranty, except that it does not expire. The bamboo is not excluded, but like other components, it is covered for any form of "failure" but "abuse" doesn't qualify. That said, there are potentially a number of reasons to justify sending the unit in. E.g., my power switch started acting up; VXL replaced the electronics assy (it's cheaper than remounting the switch) and the bamboo (for various reasons). Arguably other symptoms of poor performance or inconvenience since resolved would be a basis for a claim. Can't hurt to try.
However, I did discover when I contacted VXL Support that they knew virtually nothing about the Fanatic warranty. I needed to do some pushback, especially when I demanded that the original Vectra housing be used instead of being given back the "standard" housing. I was about to be given a different SN too; I objected strenuously against that for obvious reasons. Apparently VXL was (is?) simply replacing units altogether that needed service like mine. This isn't unusual at all, at least with a major repair, as the cost of most of the EVO materials is much less than the associated labor. Anyway Support had to escalate my claim to Seibo, who being the guy we know him to be, not only verified the warranty but also instructed the upgrades to be made (i.e., good business sense). My claim was at about the 1yr mark, so I don't know what if any relevant policy/procedure changes have been made since. In any event, even if I would have only received a partial upgrade, I'm sure I would have been given a reasonable price on the remainder to be done. And having had work done, my EVO performs better now than it did at release.
@ataxian I suppose it's conceivable that with enough build-up of grime and reclaim that the airflow whistle could be affected, but I would think there would have to be a lot of gunk for that to happen. If you are referring to a new, hence clean, bamboo ... your unit's bamboo was made when there was a wider tolerance allowed, resulting in some units with no whistle at all while other whistles were very loud. That tolerance has been tightened, and from what I read now, it appears that nearly all units have some amount of whistle (though this is largely influenced by setup and personal technique) albeit less extreme than the first units sometimes were.
Given your guys' long-term loyalty to the EVO (and especially if you were original Cloud owners, too) I would think (hope) that you would get good treatment by VXL re a warranty claim and/or upgrade price. It may take a message to Seibo, but he knows who you are.
Yep! Still got mine!
I got my new Evo in along with my new glass piece. It's a Seed Of Life piece with the lace sphere perc. Looks like my image isn't working for some reason.

I love the FLAVOR of the EVO.Dude! OMG that happened!
That is why I bought 2 of them. Sometimes you can find a used for around $200. @ataxian. I had mine calibrated for the cost of S&H after getting the base unit for $200 flat from an FC member. as one example.
It might work now, but will the bamboo survive over time? Depends if there are fractures or hairline cracks forming. If it can hold you over to 2019, great. But if it was me, I'd at least get a quote from VHL as to how much you would need to pay to get it running. That won't cost you anything to find out. Then see if anybody is looking to trade or sell their EVO in the forums and plan on sending it to VHL to be calibrated as a possibility. Some people will sell/trade you their EVO for some vape or glass thing they haven't even tried out.
Can't imagine you without an EVO @ataxian. VXL has lots of sales. So if you can perhaps budget accordingly, the sale might come to you. Fingers crossed.

To me an EVO is an investment. It it a top tier vape with an all glass pathway. I use it daily. Often while checking out your pics.
I have pulled my EVO to the ground by tripping on the cord as well. It survived a few 4 foot drops landing on it's back.
Do you think the EVO will be different in 2019 @ataxian?

I'll read it after I properly MEDICATE with my NEW EVO! (thank's @cilantro)
All is well in the Universe when Ataxian is CIVILIZED!
