USING YOUR ARC EVO
If you are familiar with using
e-cigarettes, follow the quick
start guide below to be vaping in
minutes:
• Prime the atomizer head.
• Fill the tank.
• Switch the arc evo on (5 clicks of
the power button).
• Ensure the arc evo is set to
wattage mode.
• Use the adjustment buttons to set
the arc evo to 32 watts.
• Press and hold the power button
and inhale
• Charge the battery (possibly not
shipped with a full charge).
Detailed descriptions of these steps
and more are given in the following
pages of this manual.

PRIMING
It is important to “prime” a new
atomizer head before first use. Failure
to do so can cause the atomizer coil
to overheat, resulting in a burnt taste
and sometimes irreversible damage
to the atomizer head requiring early
replacement.
To prime the atomizer head, remove
the Slider 2 tank from the arc evo
battery by unscrewing from the tank
base. Turn the tank upside down and
unscrew the tank base from the glass
section of the tank.
Prime the fitted atomizer head by
slowly dripping e-liquid onto the wire
mesh and cotton, avoiding dripping
e-liquid directly down the centre of
the atomizer head. Continue to slowly
drip e-liquid onto the wire mesh and
cotton until the cotton visible through
the sides of the atomizer head
changes colour. Refit the tank base
onto the glass section of the tank, refit
the tank back onto the battery.

FILLING
Slide the top cap open by pushing
firmly in the direction indicated by the
arrow on the top cap to expose the fill
hole. Insert the filling nozzle into the
fill hole and fill the tank, being careful
to leave an air gap of approximately
2mm. Slide the top cap shut after
filling.

ATOMIZER HEAD LIFESPAN SWITCHING ON AND OFF
Atomizer heads do not last forever
and need to be periodically replaced.
The lifespan of an atomizer head
can vary from several days up to
several weeks. Factors affecting
lifespan include wattage, vaping
style, flavour and type of e-liquid.
Indicators that the atomizer head may
require replacement include a slight
burnt taste, general loss of vapour
production or a reduction in flavour
intensity.
Switch the arc evo on by quickly
pressing the power button five times,
the screen will activate indicating
the arc evo has been switched on.
Quickly press the power button five
times to switch the arc evo off, the
screen will deactivate indicating the
arc evo has been switched off.

SETTING THE WATTAGE VAPINGSELECTING THE CORRECT MODE
To select the correct output mode,
quickly press the power button 3
times to enter the mode selection
screen. Keep pressing the left or right
adjustment buttons to cycle between
the different output modes, once
Wattage is displayed onscreen; press
the power button to activate Wattage
mode.
Note: The atomizer heads supplied
with the arc evo kit are only
compatible with Wattage and Bypass
modes and will not work correctly in
any other mode. Alternative atomizer
heads to suit temperature control
modes are available on the
Totally Wicked website
(www.totallywicked.co.uk) and via all
Totally Wicked dedicated stores.
The arc evo has adjustable wattage
that can be set from 1 – 60 watts. Use
the left or right adjustment buttons
to increase or decrease the wattage
on the battery. The fitted atomizer
head can be used from 23 – 60 watts.
For the best balance of flavour and
vapour production we suggest a
starting point of 32 watts, which you
can then adjust in small increments to
find your favourite setting.
Press and hold the power button as
you inhale the vapour, the screen will
display a vape timer while the power
button is held down.

CHARGING THE BATTERY REPLACING ATOMIZER HEADADJUSTING AIRFLOW E-LIQUID LEVEL
If you find the air flow too airy or too
tight while vaping, rotate the airflow
control ring located on the tank base.
Experiment by rotating the air flow
control ring to find your preferred
setting.
To prevent the atomizer head
from becoming dry and burning
prematurely, ensure the amount of
e-liquid inside the Slider 2 tank does
not drop below the fluid feed holes
located on the sides of the atomizer
head.
The arc evo is charged by connecting
the charge port on the battery to a
USB port or suitable wall adaptor
with the supplied charging lead.
The battery icon will begin to flash
onscreen for 30 seconds when the
charge lead is first connected. This
will then be replaced by a full screen
flashing battery icon. Once the
battery is fully charged the screen will
switch off completely.
To replace the atomizer head, remove
the Slider 2 Tank from the arc evo
battery by unscrewing from the tank
base. Turn the tank upside down,
unscrew the tank base from the glass
section of the tank. Unscrew the
atomizer head from the atomizer base
and replace. Prime the new atomizer
head by following the steps outlined
in Priming on page 6. Refit the tank
base onto the glass section of the
tank, refit the assembled tank back
onto the battery.

ONSCREEN MESSAGES

16 17
WEAK BATTERY LOCK
If “WEAK BATTERY” is displayed
onscreen, this indicates the arc evo
has insufficient battery voltage to
deliver the currently selected wattage;
wattage will be reduced to protect
the battery. Charge the battery using
the steps outlined in Charging The
Battery, on page 13, to allow normal
operation to resume.
If “Lock” is displayed onscreen, this
indicates the arc evo has insufficient
battery charge. To prevent damaging
the battery, the arc evo will no longer
power the atomizer or produce any
vapour. Charge the battery using
the steps outlined in Charging The
Battery, on page 13, to unlock the
arc evo and allow normal operation
to resume. The arc evo can be used
normally while charging.
ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
STEALTH MODE
If stealth mode is enabled, the display
will not activate when pressing the

20 21
ROTATING THE DISPLAY
Switch the arc evo off, then press and
hold down both adjustment buttons
at the same time to rotate the display
180°. Switching the arc evo back on
activates any screen changes made.
BYPASS MODE
Bypass mode provides a direct
connection between the battery cell
and the atomizer head. The higher
the battery charge; the more power
and vapour will be produced. In
bypass mode the wattage is fixed
and cannot be manually adjusted.
Lower resistance atomizer heads will
produce more power and vapour
while higher resistance atomizer
heads produce less power and
vapour.
Note: Bypass mode is only advised
for standard atomizer heads. It will
not work effectively for atomizer
heads made from nickel or titanium.
SWITCHING BETWEEN
OUTPUT MODES
Temperature control vaping modes
can only be used when specific
coil materials have been used for
atomizer head manufacture, namely
nickel (Ni), titanium (Ti) or stainless
steel (SS). To select the appropriate
temperature control mode, quickly
press the power button 3 times to
enter the mode selection screen.
Then press the left or right adjustment
buttons to cycle between Temp Ni,
Temp Ti, Temp SS, TC M1, TC M2
or TC M3; press the power button to
confirm the selection.
Note: Only atomizer heads with coils
made from nickel, titanium or “316”
stainless steel are compatible with
temperature control mode. Select
the appropriate mode to match your
atomizer head type.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODES

22 23
The maximum wattage applied in
Temperature Control or TCR modes
can be adjusted. Higher wattages
allow the target temperature to
be reached quicker, while lower
wattages increase the time taken to
reach the target temperature. Setting
the wattage too low may prevent
the target temperature from being
reached at all. To adjust the wattage
in temperature control mode, quickly
press the power button 4 times
then use the left or right adjustment
buttons to increase or decrease the
maximum wattage. Press the power
button once to confirm the wattage
selection.
ADJUSTING WATTAGE IN TEMPERATURE CONTROL/TCR MODES ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE
When in temperature control or
TCR mode, use the left or right
adjustment buttons to increase or
decrease the temperature from
100°C – 315°C (200°F – 600°F). Lower
temperature settings produce cooler
and smaller clouds of vapour. Higher
temperature settings produce hotter
and larger clouds of vapour, setting
the temperature too high can lead
to poor flavour or even a burnt taste.
Experiment to find your favourite
setting.
Note: The screen displaying “TEMP
PROTECT” is not an error or fault;
it means the atomizer head has
reached or exceeded the set target
temperature.

24 25
SWITCHING BETWEEN °C & °F SETTING TCR VALUES
Press and hold down the right
adjustment button to increase the
temperature to the maximum of
315°C or 600°f, then press the right
adjustment button once more.
The unit of measure will switch to
Fahrenheit if previously in Celsius
mode, or Celsius if previously in
Fahrenheit mode. The same can be
achieved by pressing and holding the
left adjustment button.
TCR (temperature coefficient of
resistance) settings allow atomizer
heads made from coil materials other
than those available in the “TEMP”
mode to be used with effective
temperature control. The arc evo
allows 3 different TCR values to be
pre-set as M1, M2 and M3. To set the
temperature coefficient of resistance
to match a particular coil material,
switch the arc evo off by quickly
pressing the power button 5 times,
then press and hold down the power
and right adjustment buttons at the
same time until the screen activates
the TCR menu. Pressing the power
button cycles between M1, M2 or
M3 modes, pressing the left or right
adjustment buttons increases or
decreases the relevant TCR value.
Leave the arc evo idle for 10 seconds
to confirm your selection, then switch
the arc evo back on.
Refer to the table on the next page
for a list of TCR estimates of the
most common types of wire used in
temperature controlled vaping.

26 27
Material TCR Value Range
Nickel 600 - 700
NiFe 300 - 400
Titanium 300 - 400
SS (303, 304, 316, 317) 80 - 200
Note: The TCR value displayed is
105(100,000) times greater than the
actual TCR value in standard units
of K-1. TCR settings are not generally
required for standard coil material.
If using standard nickel, titanium or
316 stainless steel coils, TCR settings
will not have any advantage over
the standard temperature control
settings.
PROTECTIONS
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
If an atomizer short circuit occurs, the
screen will display “Atomizer Short”
and the arc evo will not provide
power to the atomizer or produce any
vapour. Replacing the atomizer head
should allow normal operation to
resume. To replace the atomizer head
follow the steps outlined in Replacing
The Atomizer Head.
NO ATOMIZER DETECTED
PROTECTION
If no atomizer is detected, the screen
will display “No Atomizer Found” and
the arc evo will not provide power to
the atomizer or produce any vapour.
Ensure the atomizer head is fully
screwed into the base of the tank,
then fit the tank back onto the battery.
If the “No Atomizer Found” message

28 29
continues, replacing the atomizer
head should allow normal operation
to resume. Follow the steps outlined
in Replacing The Atomizer Head.
The arc evo battery and tank
connection threads can be cleaned
by wiping down with tissue or a
dry cloth. The Slider 2 tank can be
cleaned by removing it from the
battery, unscrewing the tank base
from the glass section of the tank then
removing the atomizer head.
The entire Slider 2 tank and base can
now be cleaned under hot running
water. Allow the tank to fully dry
before refitting the atomizer head into
the tank base. Reassemble the tank.
Note: Do not attempt to clean the
atomizer head with water. Do not
submerge the arc evo battery unit in
water or allow it to get wet.
