Evolution X User Manual

Evolution-X E-Cigarette User's Guide
By Scott McKirahan
The instructions that come with an Evolution-X e-cigarette starter kit are so bad, we don't even include them in the packages anymore. Instead, we provide the following user's guide that we created, which we think explains things in a much clearer and more detailed way:
Charging the Batteries of your Evolution-X E-Cigarette
Although many people think that a brand new Evolution-X e-cigarette battery should be completely charged before it is ever used, this is not based upon any known sound electronic theory as it relates to lithium ion batteries. Lithium ion batteries do not have a "memory" so there is no reason to follow the charging practices of old with e-cigarette batteries.
The fact is, when you first get an e-cig battery, you will not be the first person to charge it anyway; the factory always puts either a full or partial charge in batteries to test them before boxing them up and shipping them out.
It should be noted, however, that lithium ion batteries tend to last longer if they are not completely drained every time before they are charged. We realize this is especially hard to judge – especially with a very small battery like the Evolution-X has.
Also keep in mind that if the factory just charged the battery enough to test it, it will not produce quite as much vapor as a fully charged battery will and, of course, it will not last very long before needing to be recharged. You really should charge your batteries before using them when you first get your kit but if you absolutely must play with your “new toy,” go ahead and take a few puffs using one of the batteries before putting it on the charger to get its first good charge.
When an Evolution-X e-cigarette battery loses its charge completely it will blink a dozen times or more. Any further attempts at using the battery will be futile. When that happens, it's definitely time to charge your Evolution-X battery as follows:
1. Attach the USB charger's cord to the USB port in the AC wall plug. You can also skip this step and plug your Evolution-X charger's cord directly into a computer or any other device's powered USB port. Keep in mind, however, that it will take considerably more time to charge an Evolution-X battery from the lower powered USB port than it does from an AC wall outlet.
2. Plug the cord into a working AC outlet (obviously, you don't need to do this if you are going to be charging your Evolution-X battery from a computer or other USB device). The light on your charger should turn green, indicating that it is getting power.
3. Take your battery (the longest component of your Evolution-X e-cigarette that has a button on it) and screw the threaded side into the Evolution-X charger, turning clockwise. DO NOT SCREW YOUR Evolution-X BATTERY IN TOO TIGHTLY. Stop when there is resistance and you see the light change from green to red. If you screw your Evolution-X battery onto the charger too tightly, you may force the post down into the battery where it will no longer be able to make proper contact with the charger or an atomizer.
4. Charge the battery until the light on the charger turns from red to solid green. Sometimes, you may see the light on the charger flickering between red and green. This means that your battery is only partially charged. It should take somewhere between 3 and 5 hours to charge a completely drained Evolution-X battery.
WARNING: The following precautions MUST be exercised when charging your Evolution-X batteries:
1. Only recharge Evolution-X batteries with the manufacturer's battery charger. Using chargers with incorrect voltage or current can cause a fire or permanent failure.
2. Never leave a charging Evolution-X battery unattended.
3. Never charge an Evolution-X battery overnight while you sleep.
4. Never charge an Evolution-X battery longer than necessary. When it is fully charged, remove the battery. Leaving a battery on charge when it is full may degrade it’s performance and could result in a fire.
Assembling Your Evolution-X Electronic Cigarette
Depending on the type of Evolution-X Starter Kit you purchased, assembling it will be a little different.
PLEASE NOTE:Evolution-X batteries are now lockable and are frequently shipped in the "locked"
state. Being able to lock a battery is an important new safety feature that allows you to carry an assembled Evolution-X in your pocket without having to fear that it will turn on if you bend over the wrong way.
You can lock or unlock an Evolution-X battery by pressing the button rapidly 5-7 times. When you do this, the battery will flash several times, indicating that you have either locked or unlocked it. If your Evolution-X battery's button is not glowing when you press it, the battery is probably locked and you will need to unlock it.
If your Evolution-X battery does not flash after rapidly pressing the button 5-7 times, you probably are not pressing the button fast enough or it is a completely uncharged battery. It is easy to tell if an Evolution-X battery is not charged; the light on the charger will turn red when the battery is screwed into it.
Standard Evolution-X Starter Kits
Standard Evolution-X electronic cigarettes have four pieces:
1. An Evolution-X Battery : It is the longest piece and has a button on it.
2. A 510 Atomizer : It is tube-shaped, approximately an inch long and is the only piece that can screw into the inner threads of an Evolution-X battery.
3. An Evolution-X Cone : It is a little longer than the atomizer, metal, hollow, cone shaped and is the only piece that can screw into the outer threads of an Evolution-X battery.
4. A 510 Cartridge : It is plastic, about an inch long and has a fibrous material inside of it.
Assembling a Standard Evolution-X Starter Kit is quite easy. Here's all you need to do:
1. Screw the Evolution-X battery onto the 510 atomizer. DO NOT SCREW THE TWO PIECES TOGETHER TOO TIGHTLY; stop when there is any resistance. Screwing a 510 atomizer onto an Evolution-X battery too tightly could force the post of the battery down into the battery where it will no longer be able to make proper contact with the atomizer or the battery charger.
2. Unwrap one of the five cartridges that came with your Evolution-X Starter Kit. All of our Standard Evolution-X Starter Kits come with unfilled cartridges and a bottle of e-liquid that you use to fill the cartridges. Please see the section, below, about how to fill your Evolution-X e­cigarette cartridges. Once you have filled your cartridge, simply push it onto the open end of the atomizer (the other end should already be screwed onto the battery).
3. Slide the Evolution-X cone over the cartridge and atomizer, big side down (the side with the screw threads toward the battery). Screw the cone cover onto the outer threads of your Evolution-X battery.
Note: an Evolution-X cone is simply a cosmetic piece that gives an Evolution-X a tapered appearance; it serves no function. Some people do not use the cone at all!
Your Standard Evolution-X is now assembled and ready for use!
Mega Evolution-X Starter Kits
Mega Evolution-X electronic cigarettes have three pieces:
1. An Evolution-X Battery : It is the longest piece and has a button on it.
2. A Mega Atomizer : It is cone-shaped, metal, approximately 1½ inches long and is the only piece that screw onto an Evolution-X battery.
3. A Mega Cartridge : It is plastic, about 1½ inches long, has a wide flat mouthpiece and fibrous material inside of it.
Assembling a Mega Evolution-X Starter Kit is even easier. Here's how you do it:
1. Screw the Evolution-X battery onto the Mega atomizer. DO NOT SCREW THE TWO PIECES TOGETHER TOO TIGHTLY; stop when there is any resistance. Screwing a Mega atomizer onto an Evolution-X battery too tightly could force the post of the battery down into the battery where it will no longer be able to make proper contact with the atomizer or the battery charger.
2. Unwrap one of the five Mega cartridges that came with your Evolution-X Starter Kit. All of our Mega Evolution-X Starter Kits come with unfilled cartridges and a bottle of e-liquid that you use to fill the cartridges. Please see the section, below, about how to fill your Evolution-X e­cigarette cartridges. Once you have filled your cartridge, simply push it onto the open end of the cone (the other end should already be screwed onto the battery).
