Evic VTC mini now 75 watts w/ 1.2 upgrade :)

How's the Screen's BRIGHTNESS on the VTC MINI?
I know it's a large screen with big characters, but I'm concerned with the actual Brightness and not the size.
Every picture or video I've seen of this mod the screen seems pretty dull.
Opinions?
Maybe give some comparions to other mod's screens.
I'm familiar with Kanger Subox's, Heatvape Invader Mini, iStick 20/50/100w models, and Smok X Cube 2.

I've only had it three days now but it's a lot better than what I'm used to on the istick

Which iStick are you referring to?

okay...
just wanted to get that clarification.
My 100w is a tad brighter than my 20w and 50w.
And when you you say, "it's a lot better than what I'm used to on the istick"
Are you referring to a Brightness Comparison?
Where I'm going with this is:
Out of all my mods, the iSticks have the dullest screens but are acceptable.
The X Cube 2 has a very "Nice" screen, but is probably only Half as Bright as any of my iSticks which I found to be a bit of a let down because otherwise the X Cube 2 is an amazing device.
So I'm just trying to get a solid idea of the screens brightness before I make the purchase.
It's not necessarily a deal breaker for me if it's not that bright, just like it wasn't on the X Cube, but I just like knowing ahead of time is all.

Oh yes that's what I meant.. Those are the only mods I've owned with screens so far and the evic mini has a nicely bright screen in my opinion..

Great...thanks man.
As long as it is at least as bright as the iStick screens I thinks that's adequate.
But you said it was brighter, so that's even better.

Can't wait for my mini to get here. I had the istick 60w Tc on pre-order, cancelled that, paid the difference on the Evic mini after seeing it was upgraded to 75w. I had to have white so it's on the slow boat from China instead of the US warehouse..

Looks pretty damn close, which is good enough for me.

I think they are pretty close and it's low light in here.. The larger screen on the mini helps a lot since the numbers can be a bit larger

Got mine from efun.top (where I got my xcube cube II) but us warehouse didn't have white. So I took the wait for the color I wanted.

I ordered black and luckily got it.. Some people seemed to have been waiting much longer than I did for their devices.. I would've taken cyan or white but luckily the black came in

Where is a good place to get the Black One in the USA?
I don't really want the kit because I have much better tanks than THAT.
Even so...I thought I had a good buy from AngelCigs @ $40 for the full kit, but then those Dooshbags tack on over $12 for standard shipping. Thats just ridiculous! Yeah...it's probably still a good deal in comparison for the full kit, but I don't really need the full kit if theyre gonna pull crap like that!

And the Express kit is just the Box?
Does it come with anything else?
Is everything sealed and authentic?
Where does it ship from?
I've never used those guys.
The site seems a bit shady to me for some reason.
Here is the cyan in the U.S. for only 34.99, try the coupon code iloveyou for an additional 5% off. I got a white one in less than a week from them.

Not shady. @AndyColins is active here. I ordered my x cube II on pre-order from them, got it in hand on the day the pre-order was over 3 days in transit. Just make sure you click us

Mine came from MO when selecting us warehouse. Glad to hear it only took 10 days global! I needed the white
Not available yet.
The Black is on pre-sale until Halloween.
The only Black option in the U.S. is the full kit for $43 shipped.
And that's the way I opted to go because I didn't want to wait a month for stocking and ship times.
But still...that was better than ordering from AngelCigs and allowing them to Price Gouge you with some bullshit $12 shipping charge right here in the U.S.!
Anyone with half a brain knows this item can be shipped for $6 or less with Priority shipping. And I'm sure AngelCigs can get an even better deal on shipping than that!
So that's the worst form of Price Gouging in my opinion because they're profiting substantially off the shipping charge. And a lot of times if a device is faulty and had to be returned, the consumer has to Eat that shipping charge as the seller 9 times out of 10 WILL NOT reimburse that fee.
Shame shame...Angel Cigs!

Well I ordered this thing on Sunday and it STILL hasn't even been shipped from EtopFun.Us.
Is this sort of thing common with them, and how long am I expected to wait?
I can understand wait times from China, but this is supposed to be U.S. based right?

It will ship from in the US but they get their stock from China and there's a bit of a wait.. They claim a processing time of a few days anyway though so just keep your eyes open.. I know how you're feeling

I'm assuming it'll go out today. Just a guess. If it's in stock in the US warehouse, it's there. They don't have to wait for stock to arrive. It'll be out by tomorrow for sure. Knock on wood. Like I said my X Cube II came pretty promptly.
Ive never minded waiting on shipping times in the U.S. (even if it's from coast to coast)
I just get a little aggravated with vendors dragging their feet on getting the orders out the door.

They generally quote stock times a few days late but I got mine before they said they'd have it in stock

Nope, not yet.
But if I don't see movement today I WILL!
It's going on day 4 for shits sake!
I'm starting to feel like paying the extra $10 may have been better just to avoid this bullshit. Probably could have had it by now.
At this point...who knows when I'll see it!
Was that a Link for Andy?
If so...I can't access it from my phone for some reason.
And I'm rarely at home in front of a desktop.
Is there any other way I can find him on here to figure out what's going on?

When you pm keep in mind the time difference.. Even if you order from the US warehouse the orders are all handled by the Chinese..

Ooh! Ooh! I found another Easter Egg!
The 1.2 update includes a real time ammeter!
It's available when selecting your options for the fourth row, which until now only included Puff counter, time counter, and battery life. Now there's a fourth option... amperage.
I guess this could be useful to make sure your batteries are working to spec in power mode or bypass mode. TC Mode? Meh... I noticed it fluctuate between 5-7 amps, which I suppose is expected.
Still a fun toy to have!

Is that different than what came with the 1.10?
