Why ArcticFox (custom FW for Joyetech) - garbage, but quality garbage

ArcticFox is, in some way, the best FW. It is based on MyEvic and the first version of Arctic fox was called MyEvic NFE Edition , but it always was closed-source project.

It has a configurator with a PC and even for android, a lot of opportunities for an ordinary user ... And what if the user is not an ordinary user?
Discussing something on the fox forum is almost pointless about adding features.

Firstly, it happens because the arctic foxes consider themselves are smartest guys in the workd, and their users are stupid. Therefore, even if some option they enter, then a month or two will argue that this is not necessary.
Secondly, because 1-2 people are working on the development, the work is slow .
Third, developers can lie or, say, not talk everything. For example, now the firmware is supposedly not available, but there is nothing technically very complicated to break into 3 screens (medium, small, large). If the code was open, you could easily add the things you need to behave.

Develops consider it normal to ban dissenters in their topics or, at best, just ignore them.

Fourth, the Arctic Foxes have their own ideas about ergonomics. They are afraid to make the interface unconventional or too geeky. For example, even in the smallest devices, you can almost double the number of displayed information using different hacks

For example, comparing the current main interface and the prototype for small screens

As a result: AF dig a hole to themselves and other users: to themselves - because their development speed is slower than with the participation of the community. Users - because they need to wait a longer release, and some features will never be introduced.

Perhaps this is a question of donations, but again, they usually pay (if the product is ready) not for the finished free product, but for its development . Perhaps, if development is understated by such artificial methods, then there will be more donations, but ... Honestly, I think that in some parts it would be happy to pay someone or receive income from donations rather than dig yourself.


PS: I somehow custom saw, on MyEvic too based. Although I'm not a programmer, I managed to bring to the usability and geek state. True, this required more time and effort for KUDA than if Af had been opened.
Roughly mud - that MyEvic, that SurMyEvic - are usable only somewhere for 3% of the vapers, and not even geeks.

PS: I working on BetterJoy. If you want to make it too, you can join the project or even make your own with your commints.

Because my evic doesn't work on Eleaf and Wisemec devices...

That why Arctic Fox is better

Not sure what you're improving on. A new screen??? God forbid you'd use the other one.

You can't make the hardware do what it's not designed to do.

Good luck. Even the original firmware wasn't bad. Artic Fox isn't bad. Betterjoy isn't bad.

Developer can erite progtam... Can you play GTA V only on processor, no hdd? Mostly, not. On MS-POS with Core i7? Mostly not, too :)


Screenshots are no new dcreen, it' just another mani scren (interfsce) Actually, there id s log of changec in FW.

ArcticFox power curves are the only reason why, occasionally, I still use a regulated mod (RX300). Without this feature, all regulated mods would be completely useless to me excepting only for dry firing my coils.

There's 2 minutes of my life gone forever.
What some people choose to care about baffles me.

Yuppers. ArcticFox can support custom power curves, and can do so in a way that's totally unique (by using percentages instead of wattages) so this whole thread is retarded.

I vape to replace smoking.
I have an atty/mod combo that replicates a cigarette draw almost perfectly, along with higher nic juice for a nice throat hit.
Any further information or long winded discussion about battery safety or how since I don't sub-ohm I'm missing something....
You're taking something so simple & trying to complicate it to make you think you're such geniuses.
This is my addiction, not my hobby.
I put more thought & energy into this post than I have in 8 years vaping.

Stupid shit, like worrying about if your mod fires .00001 seconds after you push the button.
WGAF?
Are you too stupid to hold the button for a half second before starting your drag?
No, this is all mumbo-jumbo.

No nic vaping.
Non-alcoholic beer.
Some things I'll never understand.
Like snorting talcum powder just because you like to make snorting sounds.

Well if you don't sub-ohm and you've never tried a custom power curve, nor are willing to give it a shot, then it is only logical the fact you'll never understand it. To be be able to understand something, first you have to start by wanting to understand it.

Is ypu cell phone programed or have only the apps the Manufacturer installed.... or have you downloaded an app here and there?

That is why?

Do you wear different clothes everyday. Or do you go with seven days of the same outfit. Ie The Simpsons style.

THAT IS WHY?


Do you season your food... or eat it as God made it?

That is why?
