This thread remains focused on the subject of the Sigelei Zmax telescopic V3 and V5. As much as I might like to see other Sigelei models listed, there have been other threads posted in the VV APV forum in the past regarding Sigelei models: 30W, 50W, 100W, 150W, etc., etc., etc. These models have little to do with the Sigelei Zmax V3 and V5 other than the brand name. V2 and Mini are included in this thread because relatively few of these similar models were sold or the previous ECF forums for these devices have died. So, let's keep this thread on topic. It's about the Sigelei Zmax telescopic V3 and V5, with a lesser focus on the Sigelei Zmax V2 and the Sigelei Zmax Mini which share similar electronics and build qualities. Smok brand Zmax APVs are vastly different from the Sigelei counterparts and are not discussed on this forum.
I'd rather see this thread die rather than to have it become a general purpose Sigelei-Smok APV forum or a flag-waving chit-chat kitty-cat photo forum like the Provape forum. So there, I said it. If this thread ends up on page 32 of the APV VV forum I'm fine with that. Don't expect me to check in if it does.
The Sigelei V3 and V5 proved itself to be the equal of the Provari V1-V2.5 at much less cost with the same or better degree of reliability or serviceability. Maybe the time for 5-15W tube mods is past with the latest vaping generation. I'm fine with that.
